Chapter 204 - Kicked out (2/2)
”This hammer here is what the man wielded, its name is the Dragon hammer. It is said to be an unstable weapon, causing madness. It says the dragon hammer was lost three hundred years ago before it reappeared in the hands of one of the dragon knights only to be lost again.”
When looking at the diagram of the hammer, Gary had spotted something. On the hilt of the hammer when it wasn't attached to a man, was a little symbol. The symbol of wings and an eye in the centre, it was the same symbol the Dark guild used as well as the same symbol that was on Gary's sword he found underground.
The information Ray had just been told had come to a shock to him as well. Ray had an estimate that he had passed away as a dragon a hundred years ago, at the same time that's when the Shadow plague started to appear and a few years later the dragon knights to combat the Shadow plague.
Learning that the Dragon hammer came during a time while he was still alive as a Dragon.
While everyone was busy looking at the diagrams, Lenny interrupted them to add one more thing.
”There is actually something else but I didn't say anything about it because I wasn't sure it would help. I met up with the Demon man on my way here.”
”What!” Lilly shouted.
”Calm down, nothing happened, the Demon man simply requested a duel. He said to find the boy with red hair that stopped him last time. How he would like a one on one fight with the boy but when I entered the tavern, I was unable to see him nor find him in the city, so I decided to keep this information to myself this time.”
After Lenny had finished speaking, Jack, Gary, Lilly, and Berg couldn't help but slightly turn their head towards Ray. They knew exactly who the Demon man wanted a duel with.
These actions didn't go unnoticed of course and Lenny straight away knew something was up.
”Am I missing something?”
”I guess there is no point hiding it,” Ray said as he cancelled the transformation skill on himself.
Slowly the black strands of hair on his head started to turn red and eventually his whole head had gone red apart from a few stray hairs here and there.
”I didn't realize you were a mage?” Lenny said, ”And a powerful one at that.”
Lenny was quite good at seeing through magic disguises but for some reason, he wasn't able to see through Ray's which surprised him.
”He can't go against the Demon man, he will be killed.” Ark said, ”That man had even beaten a B class adventurer to death.”
”No, maybe we can use it to our advantage,” Gary said, ”that man clearly thinks he can beat Ray in a one on one fight, perhaps a personal grudge from last time but I think Ray can win.”
”And what if he loses the fight?” Lilly said, ”We will be down one more person meaning closer doom for us all.”
”What if it is a trap?” Berg added.
”I think we should leave this decision to Ray.” Jack said, ”All of this doesn't matter unless Ray wants to do it.”
Ray clenched his fist and answered.
”I'll do it, it's payback time.”
