Chapter 234 - Goodbye Friend (2/2)

Just then a familiar man stepped out from behind. It was Morfran who was in his full suite of black armour which also bore the symbol of an Eye and wings on his chest piece.

Ray didn't think much about it before, but perhaps even the piece of armour that Morfran was wearing was from the same set of equipment as the Hammer and Sword.

”We the shadow's guard have been given a mission to get rid of you, but our new colleague here has asked us to spare you, it would be wise to listen to him.”

Although Ray could lie and play along then later when he was stronger change his mind, that wasn't Ray's style.

”I won't be changing my mind,” Ray said.

”Well looks like its time for you to prove your loyalty to the shadow Gary, kill your old friends now.”

Gary then went on one knee in front of Morfran.

”Sir, even though I am new please give me more time, I believe I can convince them. Just leave this task to me, if I cannot then I will deal with them.”

Morfran looked into Gary's eyes, he could tell that if he didn't accept Gary's request then he might have a bigger problem on his hands.

”Fine then, so be it,” Morfran said as he disappeared into the shadows and could no longer be seen.

”Ray give up.”

But Ray was stubborn and shook his head.

”Then you leave me no choice.”

Lenny had prepared magic in his fist ready for Gary to move but when Gary did, in an instant he had gone right past Lenny and was already by Ray's side. Gary drew out the black sword and swung it at Ray.

Ray managed to lift both of his hands to block in time but the blow was powerful causing his feet to be lifted off the ground. However, before Ray's body could be blown away, Gary grabbed Ray with his gauntlet hand and threw him to the ground in front of him.

Ray was immensely hurt by the blow and before he could get back up, the black blade was already at his throat.

”Kill me than Gary!” Ray shouted, ”Just do it.”

”You don't think I will do you?” Gary said, but as his blade was up against Ray's throat, he noticed his hands were starting to shake.

”It looks like your right Ray, I can't do it and now the Shadow will punish me for not completing my task.”

Gary put the sword away and started to walk off. As his body started to disappear into the shadow, he said his finale words that echoed through the room.

”Goodbye, my friend.”
