Chapter 118 - Storm is coming (1/2)

The sound of footsteps and groans of students could be heard echoing through the halls of the building. 100 students all groaning at the same time was a frightening thing to hear.

The group continued to run up the stairs without looking back. Their heart was beating fast, their breath was short and two of them had serious injuries but they had no choice if they wanted to live, they needed to ignore their pains and keep moving.

”Don't look back, don't look back.” Kyle kept repeating, but he quickly gave in to his urge and turned around to see the group of 100 students chasing after them.

”Why did I look back!”

”Just keep running!” Slyvia shouted.

The stairs allowed the group to create a larger distance between them and the students. the Zom- kids as Kyle nicknamed them, struggled to control their bodies, causing them to fall over each over as they went up the stairs.

Finally, they had made it to the top and were in the reception area.

”Err guys I got more bad news!” Max said.

Currently, there was a row of Dark Guild members standing in front of the exit to the outside. The group had originally planned to head into the city and eventually to Avrion academy. Although they could fight the Dark guild, if they did the Zom-kids would quickly catch up to them.

”What do we do?” Nay asked.

Then Slyvia pointed at the arena entrance.

”We have no choice; we have to head to the arena. Hopefully, the others have dealt with the rest by now and they can help us!”

There was no time to argue, everyone continued running forward towards the arena.

On the roof of a tall building just outside Avrion academy. Ray was currently standing looking at the situation. The knights were busy escorting citizens into the academy but they didn't look to be anyone from the Dark Guild attacking.

What worried Ray more was the fact that there was no one coming back out of the academy to help the students at the arena. Ray thought once they had escorted the citizens into the academy, they would at least send a small army to the arena.

Ray jumped down from the building and ran and sneaked past the guards at the Avrion entrance. They were doing stringent checks since many students and knights turned out to be members of the Dark Guild but it was no problem for Ray to get past them with everyone panicking at the entrance, besides Ray was a student anyway but he wanted to get in fast.

Ray had originally planned to head to his room to retrieve the spear and then head straight back to the arena with the help of the other knights but something was worrying him about the whole situation. Nearly all the citizens had been escorted into the academy, yet it didn't seem like they were going to make a move on the arena any time soon.

Using the black sash shadow skill Ray was able to hide himself and appear almost invisible. Ray then decided to head to the top floor of the academy were the elders resided and often had their meetings.

Once Ray had reached the top floor, he was met with a giant grand door. Ray used his dragon eyes skill and could see that there were 6 people sat down in chairs. While four stood by their side.

The six people in chairs were most likely the elders but Ray had no clue who the people standing were.
