Chapter 175 - Few for the many (2/2)

The two knights had immediately snapped out of their trance and stood straight up. They saw the group heading for the staircase and were determined to stop them. However, before they could even take a step Jack had blocked their path.

”I'm sorry but it's the boss's orders.” With a giant swing of his greatsword, Jack managed to land a hit on the two knights and knocked them further back down the hallway. The two knights had completely passed out.

Jack then quickly left the scene and continued to follow the group up. When the group had arrived at the top of the stairs there were several knights standing guard on the floor.

”What are they all doing here?” Slyvia asked.

”This is strange indeed,” Von replied

The knights as soon as they saw the others enter from the staircase, all turned in their direction.

”Halt! no one is allowed on this floor at the moment, you must leave immediately.”

Slyvia then stood Infront once again.

”I am an Elder of Avrion, there is no place that I do not have access to”

”I'm sorry but we can't ….”

Suddenly, a fist came flying towards the knight's face and sent the knight flying back into the wall.

”If it didn't work the first time what made you think it would work the second time.” Ray said, ”they only understand one thing.”

Ray then placed his arms forward towards the knights and started to cast an Iceball out of one hand and a Fireball out of the next. The knights on guard weren't too strong so most of them were defeated in one blow.

”What the, you can use magic?” Harry said surprised.

Jack and Harry quickly followed Ray's lead defeating the remaining knights that Ray hadn't dealt with. Slyvia looked in horror at the scene. It wasn't like before where it was the Dark guild against Avrion or when they were fighting off assassins but these were their own people.

Von stayed by Slyvia's side and could see the pain she had in her heart.

”Look closely Slyvia, sometimes a leader must sacrifice a few to save the many.”

Ray would have loved to use mana steal on all the passed-out knights right now but he didn't have time. His dragon eyes had shown him that something was happening in the Master knights meeting room.

”Follow me, come quickly!” Ray said as he ran towards the meeting room.

He couldn't tell clearly what was happening apart from the fact that there were three auras inside the room and one of them was weakening by the second.

The group saw the door ahead and Ray without hesitation slammed through the door causing it to break apart. When they had entered the room, they could see Delbert standing above Bernardo's body with a bloody sword in his hand.

”WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!” Harry shouted.
