Chapter 185

Dan was always the type to make the situation seem worse than it actually was, or maybe perhaps even exaggerate what he was seeing. So when they first heard his words they thought it couldn't be true. After all, no one had heard or seen a dragon for the last 100 years. Many people had even predicted that Dragons might have never existed in the first place. They were just a powerful beast that people exaggerated about. So as soon as they heard Dan's words, of course, they didn't believe him. But when they all looked up, they could indeed see a giant creature in the air. It had wings, a tail, and a long head, all the traits of a dragon. "I thought they had all gone extinct?" Slyvia said. "I don't think that's the problem right now" Monk replied, "how are we meant to deal with a dragon and the Slime snakes?" The group then immediately looked at the five Slime snakes, that just a second ago were all over Ray. Now they were stood there emotionless as if paralyzed. If it wasn't for the fact that they had been moving just a second ago, the group would have thought they were statues. Ray too looked above at the giant flying beast in the sky. He immediately recognized the powerful aura. "So this storm is your doing?" Ray thought. The beast was the same beast that he had seen at the mountain at that time. The beast that had a deal with the academy as long as they didn't enter its territory, it wouldn't attack is students but one day Ray had seen it a second time on the mountain behind the city, and on that day there was a fierce storm just like today. Ray's heart started to beat as he heard the words dragon come out of Dan's mouth. Ray hadn't seen a Dragon in the last 500 years or so and even if he was to perish today, he wouldn't mind it being by the hands of another dragon. Ray then deactivated his dragon eyes to get a clearer better look at the beast. As soon as Ray saw it clearly, he knew exactly what it was, he gave a faint smile. "So that's what you are." The large beast in the sky gave another ear-piercing screech before descending at great speed. The beast flew past the students and the wind produced from its wings was so powerful that they had to use Ki to make sure they wouldn't be swept off their feet. Now that the Dragon was closer, they could get a better look. It was around 3 times the size of Noir and crystal blue in color. On certain parts of its body patches of crystal rocks were sticking out of it. The dragon opened its mouth wide and shot out a breath of frosty ice. Only now had the Slime snakes snapped out of the state they were in and were starting to run away but it was too late. As soon as the frosty breath touched the Slime snakes they instantly froze. Without slowing down the dragon continued to fly right through their frozen bodies smashing them into pieces. "It took all five of them out in one blow!" Gary shouted, "We have to run, there's no way we can beat that, forget about the academy." Then suddenly, Von started to walk slowly forward to were Ray was. "Fear not children, this beast will do us no harm," Von said.

"But how do you know that? Dragons are pure evil. Some even think it's their dead bodies that caused the shadow plague in the first place." Dan said. Von started to laugh and eventually stood by Ray's side. The dragon then flew up to the city gates before returning back to where the students were and eventually landed on its two legs in front of Ray and the others. As soon as the Dragon landed the storm had immediately stopped. There was no longer any wind and the rain disappeared with it. Jack who had been doing his best to recover inside the academy this whole time, had also stepped outside to get a better look at the dragon. After all, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. "This here is not a dragon like you all think," Von said. "Then what is it?" Dan asked. "it's a Wyvern," Ray replied. As soon as Ray was able to get a clear look at the beast, he instantly knew what it was. Von was surprised that Ray knew the beast just by looking at it. Most people looking at the beast would suspect it was a dragon, especially if they had never seen a Wyvern or a Dragon before. There were two main differences between a Dragon and a Wyvern the first one was the size. Dragons were around 2 to 3 times the size of a Wyvern, it would be impossible for one to be this small unless it was a child. That was the first sign but the second one was its wings. Wyvern's arms were attached to their wings. They weren't separated, if a Wyvern moved its arm it would move it's wing as well. While Dragons had four distinctive legs or arms and legs and the wings were located on its back. When Ray noticed it was a Wyvern, the reality had hit him that his race truly was all gone. Von immediately bowed down to the Wyvern and went to his knees. "Thank you for saving us." Von then looked behind him as if he was signalling the other students to do the same. Immediately everyone bowed down to the Wyvern all except one person which was Ray. Then suddenly, everyone could hear a ringing sound in their head for a second, and shortly what followed after was soft gentle female voice. "My name is Glac, I am the Wyvern who resides on the mountains not too far from here. I have completed my end of the deal with the Divine being, so I no longer owe a favour to your kind. "Thank you so much Glac," Von replied The Wyvern then turned its head to look at Ray as she had noticed that Ray was the only one standing. "And you, disrespectful human, I see you are not grateful for me being here." The others gulped as they were nervous. They wondered why on earth did Ray's stubborn side have to show now of all times. It was clear that the Glac was able to wipe them all out in an instant. "I truly am thankful to you for saving my life." Ray replied, "But I do not bow to those beneath me." *** Special thank to Janelle_Evwoh_6886, DarkShadow_DS, ceebyaj, Username1, Reading_Life21, and Alexander_Bingham for the Gifts.
