Chapter 235 - We meet again (1/2)

Once Gary had left, the pressure in the room lifted with it and so did the heat. Ray was struggling to get up and decided to absorb the three advanced tier crystals he had obtained earlier.

He now had a total of 25 advanced tier points. What Ray also realised is whenever he used the crystals, it made his body feel stronger each time and felt refreshed but what that also meant was he could use it this way to heal himself.

His body started to feel like normal again and Ray was soon able to lift himself off the ground. This was the reason why Ray decided not to absorb the crystals yet, even though there was a chance he could meet Gary.

He had expected an even fight shifting in Gary's favour, then when the time was right, Ray would use an advanced tier crystal to heal himself and get slightly stronger. However, what Ray didn't expect was for Gary to complete overpower him in a matter of seconds, not even giving Ray the chance to fight back.

”Hey come over here!” Ark shouted. ”Can one of you two help?”

Although Jack's body was strong, the blow he had received from Gary had managed to pierce through his line of defence, his skin. It didn't help that Jack had just transformed a few moments before. Jack's body was always significantly weaker after a transformation.

Lenny started to look at the wound on Jack's head.

”I wouldn't worry about it too much, it looks like it's already healing,” Said Lenny, ”But at the same time I don't want to be carrying him around.”

Lenny then placed his hands above the wound on Jack's head. His hands started to glow bright white and the wound suddenly started to heal even quicker.

After a few moments, Jack was starting to open his eyes.

Ray couldn't help but think that Lenny was a strange man. Usually, mages specialised in one type of magic, his mother who was a mage could only perform, Fire magic, Lilly could perform wind magic but Lenny had performed multiple different types of magic and was now even using white magic, a rare ability.

”What happened?” Jack said as he looked around. ”Gary, did he escape?”

”No.” Ray said, ”He let us live.”

After waiting a little while for Jack to come back to his senses, the four of them started to walk up the stairs towards the temple doors. There were two large metal doors made of the same material as the ones at Avrion and similar to the doors at Avrion there was a curricular lock on the door.

”It looks like this was the reason for them waiting outside.” Lenny said, ”The two of them even with their power can't break Glatherium.”

”Well if they couldn't get into the temple, what makes you think we can.” Said Ark, ”Do you know a trick or two to get in?”

Lenny shook his head.

”I'm afraid not, the only people who will be able to enter must know the code. The smith who created the door and the Mayor are most likely the only people to know.”

”So it was a wasted trip then,” Ark said in disappointment.

That's when Ray had walked up to the door and placed his hand on the circular lock.
