Chapter 174 - Not my Father
Lost in her own thoughts, Slyvia stood there still staring at Ray. She had just seen a man who she looked up to as an all-powerful being suddenly transform into one of her closest friends. Emotions started to well up inside of Slyvia as she thought back at how Nes had saved their lives. How Nes had been looking out for them this whole ti.
Whenever Slyvia thought about Nes, sothing didn't make sense to her. Why chose Avrion? why would a complete stranger do so much to protect the city and why invite her and her friends. Then Slyvia rembered the words Ray spoke to her at the arena.
"It's not your job to protect everyone."
Tears started to gush out of Sylvia's eyes.
"Why didn't you tell
earlier?" Slyvia said crying.
For so reason, Ray started to feel sothing as he saw Slyvia heartbroken.
"There number one target was ; it's always been
and I didn't want to drag anyone into it. I wasn't going to make the sa mistake again. I needed to wait until I was strong enough but it's too late now and we've run out of ti. The city is under attack."
Ray then looked at Von who's expression surprised him. Von just stood there with a big smile.
"I always knew it was you, Ray," Von said, "Do you think I wouldn't recognize my gauntlets you stole from my martial arts hall?"
Ray smiled back nervously.
"Don't worry you can keep them, I guess it's ti to fix this sick city of ours."
Slyvia then looked up and started to stare at Gary.
"You knew this whole ti! And you didn't even say anything!"
"Hey, hey I only found out recently." Gary said as he moved back towards Jack, "Besides we have more important things to do right now."
"He's right!" Ray replied, "Slyvia, Von, you two take
to the highest point in Avrion, I'm going to need your help."
Slyvia and Von nodded in response.
"Jack, I want you to co with
also, Gary, Badger, and Sloth, go gather up the rest of the Red wings, try to convince as many knights as you can to co over to our side. Stay on the ground until I give you orders, once I've located where their tunnels lead to, you need to head there imdiately."
Ray then opened up his system and sent a test ssage to Jack. Jack had received the ssage fine this ti, which ant his system was up and working once again. Just in case though. Ray gave command to Gary. If anything was to happen on the ground and Ray was unable to respond Gary would take the lead.
Ray then opened up his endless void and threw out the spear he had received from killer to Gary.
"Hand that over to Dan when you see him, he'll get a lot more use out of it than ."
Gary's Party then imdiately left to go gather the rest of the Red wings, while Ray sent a ssage to all the mbers updating them about the situation. He also sent out a second ssage telling them to recruit as many people as they could, Ray was going to need every little help he could get.
Ray was ready to leave the city at any ti and in truth he didn't believe they could win this battle. If the Dark guild and Shadow plague were working together and had many creatures like they had found below, then they didn't stand a chance.
But before leaving, Ray wanted to make sure that the Pure bloods who also worked with them would pay. Not only had they gone after his life but everyone else's as well.
Ray's group then left and started to run up the stairs. As they were going up each floor Ray noticed what Slyvia had said was true there were more guards the higher up the floors they were going. On the top floor was were the eting rooms and Elders resided and, on the floor, just below where the master knights.
Sir K and Wilfred were in the tunnels protecting the Divine being which left Bernardo, Rose and Delbert. The fact that the Dark guild new the combination to the Iron doors beneath the tunnels ant that either a Master knight or Elder were behind this or maybe even both.
As they were running up the floors they Ran into a familiar face on the way.
"Harry?" Jack called out as he stood in their way.
"Please take
with you, I received the ssage, I have to go." Harry asked.
"It's not up to ," Jack said as he looked at Ray.
Harry had no clue why Jack had looked at Ray. In the ssage Ray had only stated what the plan was and hadn't ntioned he was the actual leader. The Red wings still had to believe their leader was soone stronger behind the scenes for them to have confidence.
Before Ray could give an answer, Slyvia had interrupted.
"Harry you do know there's a high chance we could be going up against your father."
Harry then clenched his fist.
"That man is no father of mine; I've known for a long ti now that my father is a mber of the Purebloods but I could do nothing against it."
Harry then started to look at Ray.
"You rember when you hurt my brother, well my father wanted revenge so he asked
to kill you. On that day when we t on the roof, I was ant to finish you there and then but I couldn't, what had you done wrong? What had any of the people my father sentenced to tunnels, what had they done wrong? I tried to pretend to not see it, I would ask my father what happened to our servants that had looked after
since I was young, knowing full well what happened to them."
"What are you talking about Harry?" Slyvia asked.
"They were used as experints weren't they?" Ray said.
