Chapter 142 - Never Forget (1/2)

The man had appeared in the room out of nowhere. As if his body had emerged from the shadow itself. As he walked across the floor, not a creak or a single sound was made, it was like he was walking on the air itself. Finally, the man stopped and stared down at Ray.

He stopped and stared at Ray for the minute until he started to mumble a few words. Slowly dark shadows started to creep and wrap around Ray's body from head to toe. To Ray, it would all feel like a dream while in real life he was slowly being suffocated.

Ray could feel something happening to his body but his mind wouldn't wake up. Something was suffocating him and it was overwhelming him. It reminded Ray of when he saw the divine being, a similar power but at the same time entirely different.

”Ray run.” The man said.

The man's voice had managed to trigger something in Ray causing him to open his eyes. When Ray did, all he could see was a dark shadow in the shape of a human figure. Ray's dragon eyes didn't show much either apart from confirming that the man was part of the shadow plague.

The man lifted Ray with the invisible force and out of his bed so now the two stood opposite each over. Ray struggled and struggled using every bit of his power to move but nothing was working. Ray then tried to shout but he was even struggling to take in the air so no words would come out.

”I have finally found you, at last, you must die!” The man said.

Suddenly the shadows around Ra's body started to tighten harder. With no way-out Ray turned to the system for help. He opened the system with his mind and checked to see if there was anything helpful but none of his skills were working. All that he could do was activate the contract.

Suddenly mana started to leave from the contracted bodies across the academy and enter Ray's own. Ray was careful and made sure the amount didn't topple over a 100. Although 200 mana points would ruin his body when using it, his body was able to heal from this. If he used any more mana then there was no telling what would happen.

When Ray finally had 200 mana points, he was able to barely move his leg. The force against him was incredibly powerful. Ray stomped on the ground as hard as he could causing the wooden floor panels to break but this isn't what Ray was aiming for.

”What is going on!” Monk shouted as he was woken by the loud noise.

Everyone in the room started to slowly open their eyes and all they could see was Ray being held up by a being completely made of shadows.

”Get off him!” Gary shouted as he charged in.

The shadow man moved one of his hands and flung it in the direction of Gary. At the same time, Gary suddenly went flying into the air and was knocked back into his own bed.

The doors to the room then swung wide open and Wilfred came rushing in with two guards behind him.

”Get off the boy!” Wilfred shouted with his long sword held in his hand.

The edges of his longsword started to glow green. The shadow man flung another hand at Wilfred but Wilfred ducked avoiding the invisible force, the two behind him were less fortunate managing to be struck and thrown against the wall in the hallway. Wilfred then slashed the shadow across the shoulder.

The shadows around the man moved and waved as the sword made an impact. Now underneath his shoulder, human flesh could be seen but the attack wasn't strong enough to pierce the skin.
