Chapter 229 - More Dangerous (1/2)

Ray and the other party members were stood in the outpost, just outside the door to the underground dungeon where the demon man, Lenny, and Gary were underground. Just then though, Ray felt a huge surge of energy come from below.

It was the same energy that he had felt form the demon man.

”Did he wake up.” Ray thought, ”I have to go in.”

”You guys stay out here!” Ray said as he burst through the doors and down into the dungeon. As the doors burst open the others could feel the immense heat coming from below.

”You don't think the demon man has woken up do you?” Ark asked.

”If he has, then Ray might need all of to take him on together like last time,” Lilly said.

The rest agreed and decided to head down after Ray.

Inside the dungeon, the hammer that had been attached to the demon man was there no longer. It had turned into some sort of liquid as if it was alive and attached itself to Gary's arm slowly forming a gauntlet around him.

”This is very bad!” Lenny shouted.

A shadow seemed to fall over Gary's face. His eyes started to shine bright yellow like a fire was inside. He then held up his gauntlet hand and similar to the hammer, it started to glow blue. The air around Gary started to blow hotter and a radiating power was being emitted from the gauntlet.

”This is a very nice fit for me,” Gary said in a voice lower than it once was. As if it was no longer his.

Just then, Ray had appeared to see Gary with the, now Dragon Gauntlet. He knew instantly that it was the same as the hammer form the design. Then Just behind Ray, the rest had followed.

”No it can't be, was he possessed?” Ark said.

”That idiot had to go causing trouble for us,” Jack added.

Lenny who stood closest to Gary flung himself forward but before he could reach. Gary lifted his hand in the air and a bright light erupted from the gauntlet, blinding everyone for several moments.

When the group was able to see again. Gary was no longer in the dungeon, he had completely Vanished.

”Put the city on high alert!” Lilly cried. ”We need to find the new demon man.” Just then as Lilly took a few steps forward, she staggered and fell to the floor.

*****

The city had been informed of Gary's appearance and not only were the guards on a lookout for him but also the Guild members. There was a temporary block put out on the city blocking all of the exits trying to make sure he wouldn't escape.

When Gary had been possessed by the Gauntlet at the same time his system had declared that the contract had been broken. There was no way for Ray to contact him anymore. However, he had learnt now that what had happened with Monk, meant it was most likely he wasn't dead but perhaps a similar situation had happened to Monk.

Slyvia and the others had yet to notify him what was going on at Avrion and Ray was too busy to find out as he had his own urgent pressing matters.
