Chapter 88 - Betrayal (1/2)

Ray currently stood in the centre of the arena looking at the 9 men on the floor rolling about. For some reason even though they were suffering, Ray's anger wasn't settling down. It was as if another part of his body had taken over.

Every time he would hit one of them, images of Amy, images of Gary being hurt by Pureblood, and images of Monk when he was hurt by Sebastian would flash through his head. These types of people didn't deserve to live.

Ray started walking over to the person closest to him. Everyone was watching in anticipation wondering what he was going to do.

”The boy's going to kill them. I'm telling you we need to get him out of there!” One of the elders demanded.

The old man remained silent and decided to just watch intently. Slyvia and the rest were also holding their breath, wondering what Ray would do next.

Ray bent down to the person closest him and said.

”You will never be able to use Ki, ever again.”

Ray then placed his hand on top of the man's chest.

”Only two,” Ray said.

Slyvia and the old man couldn't believe their eyes. The two of them were truly worried about what Ray would do. They activated the Ki in their eyes and what they saw blew their mind. It looked like the Ki was escaping from one body and going into Ray's.

Once ray had completely absorbed the man's Ki, he gently hit the contestant until his bracelet displayed the number 0. The white light surrounded the man and teleported him away.

The elders and the whole crowd watching were relived. They were holding the breath in till the very last moment.

”Looks like you were right about the boy. He isn't harming the students any further.” An elder said.

The old man laughed nervously. The other elders weren't fighters like the old man so they had no clue what just happened but the old man was afraid that others might have seen the same thing he did. Especially members of Pureblood.

Ray continued going to each contestant that was lying on the floor and performed the skill mana drain on them.

…..

After absorbing 8 contestants, Ray had currently gained an additional 11 mana points, bringing his total mana pool to 21. Ray started walking over to the last person on the floor. Most of the contestants had been eliminated at this point. Only a few had seen what Ray had done and decided to not go against him.

A girl named Sarah spotted Ray in the middle of the arena draining the last man on the floor. Seeing Ray kneeling next to the man, she thought that Ray was an easy target. She readied her bow and aimed directly at Ray's back. The arrow flew through the air and bounced of Ray as if it was hitting a solid wall.
