Chapter 132 - Together this time (1/2)

Inside Avrion's library, near the far back away from the prying eyes of others. Ray and Gary were sitting down at a table opposite each other.

Ray was currently taking in everything that Gary had just told him. When they went down to the red door area together, Ray was only able to open the giant steel door due to the system. If what Gary was saying was true about the divine being, did this mean it was all somehow linked to him?

If so, Ray wasn't sure about getting others involved in his business. Ian had already died and Ray's path was going to be a bloody one.

”Why do you need to see the divine being so bad?” Ray asked.

Gary replied almost instantly.

”Power, just like how the founders gained special abilities.If we meet the Divine being we too can get stronger.”

This was what Ray was afraid of. It was fine to seek power for your goal, Ray himself was doing that exact thing but Ray was never so power-hungry that he relied on others. When he learnt he couldn't use magic, he decided to focus on his combat skills.

By chance, he was able to come across the system and gain massive strides in strength. Of course, Ray would use this to his advantage but the system wasn't a one-sided thing in the first place. It rewarded you based on your achievements and if Ray never came across something like the system, he would have trained himself.

Gary could see Ray was being quiet for some reason and continued to talk as he thought Ray just needed a little convincing.

”Do you know Ray that the Allure kingdom is the weakest of the 6 Kingdoms and we can forget about the empire,” Gary said. ”Once the Dragon knights disappeared, the other kingdoms started to bully us in trades. It caused poverty to spread across the kingdom. And yet because of where our kingdom was placed, we were forced to do battle on the front line with the shadow plague. Causing the land to suffer even more.”

What Gary was saying to him now was taught to all of the knights at school. Ray never bothered looking into it with too much detail. When he was a dragon the continent just looked like one piece of land to him. He had no clue about borders or such.

”We were practically all bullied by the dark guild and when the news spread to the other kingdoms, they laughed at us for how weak we were,” Gary said as he clenched his fist. ”I've already spoken to Monk and Jasmine and they want to come too. They know something is wrong with Avrion academy. When I came here I thought I could change the kingdom and help my family out. Now I can see that's impossible the way I am right now.”

Suddenly, a voice was heard from the side.

”I agree, something needs to change.”

Gary popped his head up to see who was listening in on their conversation. When he did, he was surprised to see it was not only one person but a group of them.

Ray had noticed them a long time ago but once he figured out who they were, he thought there was no reason to make a scene.

”Slyvia and… what the hell are all you guys doing here?” Gary said

Out from behind one of the shelves of the library came out Slyvia but she wasn't alone, standing by her side was Martha, Kyle and Dan and behind all of them was Monk who was hiding behind Martha like a kid who had done something bad.

Of course, Gary spotted monk and straight away knew what had happened.
