Chapter 112

Slyvia's four brothers were currently watching the match between Ian and Geo from the arena above. As the match was happening, Mathew the eldest brother and a general in the Allure Kingdom army, spotted Geo drinking a purple liquid from a test tube. When he saw the test tube his eyes opened wide. "That can't be what I think it is?" John said who was standing by Mathew's side. "It seems like the liquid has already reached the city," Mathew said, "We must stop the match straight away." Mathew then looked towards Max. "Max, I'm afraid our dear little sister may be in danger. You must head down to the medical bay and do whatever you can to make sure she's safe." Mathew didn't actually think Slyvia was in any trouble, but he didn't want the youngest of the four of them to be involved in military affairs. Not yet anyway. The best thing to do now was to send him away. "You can count on me," Max said as he took off running through the crowd. Then, just before Mathew, Josh and Jake could act, they noticed that someone from the arena already made a move. It was Ray. Ray had come storming from the side lines onto the arena stage and was heading straight for Geo as soon as he saw the purple liquid. "That boy, does he know something is up?" Mathew said. "Should we help him?" Jake asked. Just then they saw Sir K block Ray's attack. "Those idiots!" John shouted. While Jake and John were focused on what was happening in the arena. Mathew started to notice strange movements within the crowd. Something stood out to him. Currently, every single person was focused on the fight including his brothers. Yet these men were stood perfectly still, no cheering, no nothing. Mathew started to walk over to one of the men in the crowd barging people as he walked past them. When Mathew got closer, he started to gather his mana, grabbing the moisture in the air. He was getting ready to strike. Finally, when Mathew was in striking distance of the man, the man turned to him and looked him in the eye. "It's too late." The man said. Mathew could see that the whites in the man's eyes had been completely replaced with a dark purple. "Everyone Run!" Mathew shouted but it was too late. The man dropped his white robe to reveal the clothing of the Dark Guild. The main trait of a Dark Guild member was their robe they would wear over all their armour and clothing. The robe was black in colour but down the back of the robe it would have the Dark Guild's crest. The crest was purple, with the design of an eyeball with wings. The Dark Guild member spun in a circle slicing off the heads of the crowd that stood next to him. Mathew had hesitated to attack, afraid he might hit the citizens but it didn't matter now, for they were all dead. Mathew no longer hesitated and used his skill Water Slash. He shot out a meter-long line of water from his hand. As soon as it touched the Dark Guild member, he had been split in half. Mathew then looked around the arena and noticed there were around 30 Dark Guild members in the arena causing chaos. Some were fighting against Avrion knights. Jake and John had already stepped into action and were helping the best they could.

But Mathew was more concerned with something else. He couldn't help but shake this powerful feeling coming from outside the arena that was coming closer and closer by the second. ****** Ray had decided to send Kyle down to the medical bay because he knew something big was happening underneath. The purple flames seemed to be multiplying and that meant trouble for Slyvia and the others. The reason why Ray didn't go down himself though was because he felt an even bigger threat was moving towards the arena. A power far stronger than he had ever felt before. Wilfred after making the announcement had urgently rushed off to escort the elders out of the arena and back to the academy. The academy was the most guarded place in the city and the safest. Wilfred also advised that the citizens and everyone else to go to the academy as soon as possible. That left the students and Sir K to deal with the Dark Guild members in the arena. The two twins Badger and Sloth were currently going at it with the two sisters. They were holding up fairly well and fighting a lot better now that they were together. Dan, on the other hand, was struggling. His weapon was clearly inferior to Arthur's and at any moment now it looked like his spear would snap. Some of the Dark Guild members had jumped down from the arena and were currently fighting with the third-year students. Sir K was currently on the ground meditating doing his best to recover his wounds so he would be in fighting condition again. Ray could still feel the power getting closer and he knew to face whatever was coming, he would have to be at full strength and would need the help of others. "Jack! Look after Sir K…something big is coming and we're going to need his help." Ray shouted. Sir K then stood up from the ground. "Ray, I know you can feel it too. Just get out of here and don't come back." Sir K said, "I believe you are the child from the prophecy. Whatever happens, you must live." Ray didn't say anything to Sir K and just jumped up from the arena floor into the seating area. A couple of Dark Guild members came at him but Ray knocked each of them back with one blow. But these were stronger than your average members, as they were infected with the shadow plague. They quickly stood up and rushed forward again. Ray didn't have time to deal with them. He continued running forward until he was eventually on top of the arena. He used all his strength to jump to the closest building. Ray managed to jump a distance of around 15 meters and landed on a nearby roof. When he looked behind him, he could still see the two Dark Guild members. Ray quickly summoned Noir and jumped on her back. "To Avrion academy!" Ray shouted. And like a lightning bolt, Noir ran as fast as she could.
