Chapter 142 - Never Forget (2/2)

The shadows surrounding the man acted like an ever-moving shield.

Wilfred went to attack again only this time it was a slash across the stomach. The shadow man had no choice but to let go of the shadows holding Ray's body. The shadows left Ray and joined the man blocking Wilfred's sword attack.

The shadow man then quickly Jumped up to the window in the room. ”I'll come back for you!” The shadow said before leaping out of the window.

Wilfred followed looking over the window edge but there was no trace of the man. ”It's impossible, I can't see him anywhere, as if he suddenly disappeared.”

Wilfred then turned to the two guards to give his orders.

”Tell the guards to be on high alert, an assassin has tried to kill one of our students.” He then rushed over to Ray to check on the condition of the boy.

Ray was currently knelt down on the floor gasping for air. It felt like if the shadows were around his body for any longer, he would have been a goner. The others had never seen Ray look like this before, so weak.

The others were suddenly frightened, Ray was the strongest out of all of them, he was stronger than many knights at the academy and so far, had managed to defeat every assassin that had come after his life but this time it was different.

If Ray could do nothing, then what could they have done?

Ray's body finally started to calm down and stop shaking as the oxygen returned to his body and blood cells.

”Take your time,” Wilfred said, ”Ray I need to ask you, did you manage to see the man's face?”

Ray shook his head. It was true the man's entire body had been covered in shadows and it was currently night time.

Wilfred then asked another question.

”Do you have any idea who the man was?”

Ray responded again by shaking his head but this time it was a lie.

The truth was, Ray had an idea of who the man was. When the shadow man spoke most of the time his voice was deep and darkened, as if he was possessed but this was normal for people who were infected by the shadow.

But as Ray was being attacked, he had heard a different voice from the man, one that had warned him to run. A voice that Ray could never forget.

His father's voice.
