Chapter 448: Brocken Promise (1/2)

Ray's right hand was still holding tightly onto the back of Bob's neck. Applying a slight heat of fire magic every single time he would think about moving. In his hand was valuable information. He was the last person to apparently see his friends, so he wasn't going to let him go away that easy.

The others had waited long enough, the first one to charge in was at the young blonde man with the long sword. Not moving from his spot, Ray defended the blow with his gauntlet. Knocking the sword away. The hit was so heavy that the sword was plunged into the ground and was stuck. While there wasn't a single mark on Ray's gauntlet.

'What are those things made of?'

Before the young knight could even recover, a big foot had kicked him sending him flying across the floor.

”What crazy power! I guess he really did hit that king tier beast. I thought they might have just alerted what we had seen. Spiced it up with some magic, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all.” One of the older warriors who were there said.

Two crossbows came shooting out from the side, fast, but these were simple for Ray to block. He wasn't even going to bother using himself. Instead, he gripped tighter into Bob's neck. Causing his blood to drip down his neck.

He lifted the large body with a single hand and moved it in front of the blots. They had pierced his large back and had gone through his strong beast armour.

”Ah! I'm sorry.” The female warrior said. ”I didn't think he would be so shameless.”

The bolts that had been used were made from beast crystals, including the bow. They were of high quality which made the attack strong, piercing right through the thick armour that Bob was wearing.

Even Ray would have been affected if he had been hit by those.

Before he knew it though. Three of the other warriors had dashed in. One holding two short swords. An old man with a spear and lastly Bob's female partner Savanna came in with two daggers. All of these warriors specialised in close quarter combat.

As long as they saved the so-called hostage, then it would allow for the few ranged users that were there, to help with the attack.

The thought of using magic had come to Ray's mind, but then a reminder had come into his head. About how Slyvia had told him not to. Not unless they were planning to leave this place and Ray was still planning to take part in the all kingdom tournament.

Instead, he squeezed his fist tightly.

”It feels a lot better if I deal with the punishment directly anyway.” Ray thought.

Seeing all three of them come towards him, and the skill they possessed, he could see where each one would move with their attack with his Dragon eyes. Thier Aura was practically emitting it to him.

The problem was, there was no way for him to avoid one of the attacks if he was to keep hold of Bob, and not use any of his magic. Either way, he needed to take one hit.

The spear was the first one to reach him being one of the longest reach. While Savana jumped up in the air, and another came from below.

”No matter what you do now, one of us will get you for this.” Savana shouted.

But then unexpectedly. Ray didn't move from his spot at all as they expected him too. Instead, he allowed for the spear to pierce into his body. It had broken through the armour, but after going a few inches into his skin, it had stopped slightly.

”This man's body, it's solid. It's nearly as strong as a beast. What is this sorcery?” The old man said.

In the air, one attack was enough, at the same time, Ray stomped on the ground, causing a piece of it to rise up, blocking the path of the attack from below. Then while the other was in the air. Ray had channelled his Ki, throwing a fist outward.

”But his fist won't reach me from there.” Savana thought.

It was strange, she couldn't understand why he had thrown out his fist so soon. With her two daggers, she had a reach advantage, even if he was faster and could block one, she could attack with the other.

When the fist hit the air, she thought he had simply miscalculated, but then the air started to move, a loud bang was heard as if a type of air barrier was broken. Before she knew it, she felt a large heavy thud in her stomach. Blood spilt from her mouth as she fell to the floor.
