Chapter 298 - The Empire vs Red wings (2/2)

”Perhaps Blake is just too frightened at the moment.”

”Even if I did.” Said Ray, ”What are you going to do about it?”

Blake clenched his fist tightly, he deactivated his breakthrough mode as his anger started to consume him.

”Do you even know who I am, my father holds one of the highest positions in the Empire, we could squash not only you but your whole Guild like a bug. Even the six kingdoms put together can hardly match our power.”

This was one of the other reasons why Roland and the other students were too afraid to go against Blake. Not only was he a promising student but he had one of the highest powers backing him.

Roland was a magic academy that accepted students from all over. Its aim was to take a neutral stance and it was even built in Alure kingdom, the weakest of all the kingdoms so no one could claim the power as their own.

Ray then turned to Blake once more and started walking forward. ”Let me tell you something, to me you're just a bug. The whole of the Empire is just a big bug to the Red wings. The shadow continent is only a stepping stone in the grand scheme of things. Once we're done with them, we'll come for your empire, and after that the whole of Bronzeland and even then, we'll go to other continents, until the whole world is under our banner. If we have to rearrange things and fight against the empire first, then so be it.”

To most people, it would sound like the ramblings of a mad man. taking over the empire, defeating the shadow and all this to be done by a Guild, not a Kingdom or anything. If it was anytime other than now, they all would have laughed at him, called him a fool.

But not a single person did. When Ray spoke, there wasn't the slightest bit of hesitation in his voice. It sounded like he had planned this all along and he really could do it.

Ray was now standing within striking distance of Blake once again. He then threw out a fist towards his face and stopped it just before it hit.

”You're not even worth getting my hands dirty.” He said as he turned and headed back to the professors and the others.

”He must think I won't do it,” Blake thought, ”He must think I'm bluffing, that I really don't have the power to start a war, well if it's a war you want, it's a war you'll get.”

As Ray went back to join the others, he tried his best to ignore the situation that just happened. Asking them about the situation and wanted to know if they had any plans for getting back. That's when the group had informed him that Kaito was busy drawing a magic circle.

”Oh, that's great then if you can get back.” Said Ray.

”The problem is we don't have enough power to take all the student back, we would need an incredibly powerful crystal or something similar to it,” Springett replied.

Ray had no problem getting out of the shadow continent. He had the teleport skill he could use at any time but he didn't want to leave the students behind. He needed some of them as allies and he still needed to know the relation Van had with the Divine being.

Ray went to walk up to the magic circle that was being drawn around the well. It was large in size that spread out across nearly the whole centre of the village. It needed to be, after all, it was meant to take thirty students back.

As he looked at the magic circle, he started to scratch his head. He thought he might be able to help but something like this was far too complicated for Ray, it was more suited for someone like Lenny.

He then thought about his inventory he still had the piece of the Divine being with him that he was tasked with handing to Van. He didn't want to use it but maybe that could power the magic circle. As he walked into the circle and into the centre, a message from the system had appeared.
