Chapter 229 - More Dangerous (2/2)

Lilly had been taken to her castle where a white mage would perform healing magic to the best of their abilities. It was a painful ordeal for Lilly but it was the only thing they could do to delay the spread of the shadow.

The city had an odd feeling behind it. They had just suffered a betrayal from one of their biggest guilds. The mayor's daughter who was in charge of most of the city duties was now bedridden and there was a powerful enemy on the loose and they had no idea where he was.

As Days went past, Ray was finally informed of what had happened to Monk. Ray felt a little guilty that he wasn't there to convince him but Monk had made his own choice. While Slyvia and the others were planning to bring him back.

Ray was preparing his mind for a confrontation with a dear friend. if it came to it and Monk chose the Dark guild over the Red Wings, Ray had to choose the Red wings.

The investigation team continued but it now had weakened significantly. There was Lenny, Ray, Jack and Ark. With no clues, the four of them decided to head to the person who was once the demon man before. The man known as Vercy.

Vercy was bedridden for a few days after the hammer had been removed from his hand. Once the hammer had disappeared it seemed like his hand had regrown. It was an amazing feat that the doctors didn't understand.

After some integration by the city guards, they found out that Vercy was a harmless man but was to be kept watch while in the hospital.

Inside the hospital room. Ray and the investigation team had entered for some questioning.

”I see you're finally awake?” Lenny said.

”Who are you guys?” Vercy replied.

”Ah it looks like you don't even remember us, that's not good.” Said Lenny, ”Let me ask you, do you know anything about the hammer that came into your possession?”

”The hammer, ah yes, I worked as a miner you see. One day we were extracting minerals from a cave in a mountain. That's when it sounded like something was calling out to me. I decided to leave the crew and investigate thinking that it might have been a lost child. But in the end, all I could find was a hammer. I thought I had gone mad but I was sure the hammer was calling out to me. When I touched it, that was the last thing I can remember before being here.”

”Is that everything?” Jack asked.

Ray was beginning to feel a little impatient and decided to cut to the chase. He walked up to Vercy and looked him in the eyes.

”Dragon's truth.”

”Now tell us, who are you?” Ray asked.

The colour in Vercy's eyes went white and he started to reply in a monotone voice.

”I am a simple miner for a small village near the town of Kelberg. My name Is Vercy Krang. I am 28 years old and look after my sick mother.”

After finishing their questions, the group then left the hospital room to step outside.

”So Vercy was just a normal human being?” Ark asked. ”Doesn't that mean that immense power that he had all came from the hammer?”

”Yes, this is very bad.” Said Lenny. ”Before the hammer had possessed a simple man with no skills. I think Gary will be a far more dangerous foe, especially with all his skills and power.”
