Chapter 303 - Scarier than you (1/2)

Just as Jack and Martha were about to talk to the Underdog guild members, suddenly, a large white ring formed underneath them. The whole area started to light up and the people around them start to panic.

”Is this your doing?!” One of the Underdog guild members said.

”No, I have no clue?” Jack replied back.

Lenny though was the first one to notice what was happening. As the lights around started to form a circle, he started to read all the symbols inside.

”Everyone get out of the circle, it's a teleportation circle something big is coming!” Lenny shouted. On his command, everyone ran out from the circle and down towards the guards who were standing on standby.

Everyone waited in anticipation for what was about to appear. At the same time several figures could be seen and a large giant wolf at the back.

”It's a beast, a large powerful beast!” The guard said, ”Men get ready to attack!” The small token army of around thirty soldiers drew out their swords.

”Isn't that Noir?” Jack said.

”Yeah, and Ray is on top of it as well, what are they doing here?” Martha said.

Just as the army was about to charge forward, Martha stood in front of them.

”Wait, that beast and men are part of the Redwings.”

The men stopped their advance and looked at the others who had appeared as well and noticed there were several students from Roland. Each one of them either inured or covered in black blood from other beasts.

As the students saw the clear blue sky and Roland city of in the distance, cheers and smiles started to appear on their face.

”We did it! We're finally back!” A student shouted, but then, he felt a sharp shooting pain on the back of his neck, the student fell to the ground and a large spider the size of a small dog could be seen on him.

”Everyone! Run to the guards, get out of here!” Springett shouted.

Standing behind the group of students was the old man, with two black rifts by his side. Creatures had already started to spawn out of them numbering in the hundreds.

Since the battleground was quite far from where the knights were standing, they were unable to see what was going on but could only hear screams. However, Martha now had the power of the harpies and could see quite the distance away, she saw the shadow creatures appearing out of the rift.

”The students, there being attacked, we have to help them and Ray,” Martha said, she then quickly powered up her wings once more flew up into the sky.

Jack then turned to the underdog members behind them.

”Come on, you guys are coming with me!”

”What, are you crazy why would we risk our lives to save some kids?” Rick said.

Jack started to laugh.

”Do you not remember what you said before, you surrendered right, well you're lives belong to the Redwings now and if you don't want to fight them, then you will be going up against me.”

Before they had left the shadow continent, Ray had seen the old man, but he was unable to warn the others in time. All he could do was tell Noir to take Van away.

”Noir, take him back to the city,” Ray said, ”Van trust me on this, thereafter you but you will be safe in the city, the guards might be afraid of her so they won't let her in but as long as you tell them who you are they will protect you.”
