Chapter 172 - The power of Black knights (1/2)

On the stone bridge, the group was currently resting just by one of the tunnels entrances. Jack was completely worn out and Ray could see his body slowly healing and even the others looked pretty hurt.

Ray had managed to just catch Jack transforming back to a human at the last second and immediately knew what Jack was.

Jack was what was known as a Werewolf, one of the very few true half breed creatures. Not entirely human but not a beast either. It finally explained why Jack had such a strong Ki force on his outer body and when that ki was used up, why Ray could see a red aura surrounding his heart.

Just like Dragon's the Werewolves of the past used to be plentiful but a long time ago a civil war broke out between their race. Some of the Werewolf's felt like they were a superior version of the human race and were meant to lead them. While others saw themselves as protectors for being stronger.

In the end, the war was won by the Werewolf protectors, for they also had the support of Humans but many of them had died in the process. It seemed like over the years there had been less and less until eventually, they had been long forgotten about. Even Ray had nearly forgotten about them until he saw Jack just now.

Ray started to think if Jack's parents knew they contained werewolf blood or if they passed it on unknowingly. Most likely someone in Jack's family should have known about this. Perhaps the Werewolf's had gone in hiding and if so, then maybe Ray would be able to use them in some way.

While the group was resting and healing up, they told Ray about their encounter with Morfran and everything that had happened.

”This is bad,” Ray said. ”If Morfran is down there then perhaps he is guarding the route. If they are using someone as powerful as him, they could be planning to attack the city soon.”

Ray once again tried to send a message to the others above.

”What wrong?” Garry asked seeing the concerned look on Ray's face.

”It's my system, for some reason I can't use it to contact anyone.”

”Then we have to leave now and warn everyone.”

Just then from the tunnel the group was standing by, they could hear the sound of clanking footsteps. The others could no longer rest and stood up immediately walking backward to the bridge. Finally, the figures making the sound stood into the light of the crystals, their black armor could be seen.

Three Black knights in armor from head to toe, holding longswords came into view.

”Aren't they the Black knights of Avrion?” Gary asked, ”What are they doing down here?”

But without saying a word one of the Black knights immediately dashed forward towards Gary. The Black knight was fast and swung its sword but Ray was able to intercept the strike with his gauntlet and then struck the knight with his other hand.
