Chapter 325 - Nes no more (2/2)

Just before Ray entered the building, he stopped outside and said. ”Are you coming or not?”

Judging by Ray's words he had known Bliss was following the whole time yet chose not to say anything and continued to head to their destination. Then when she looked where the two were, she realised that they were in front of Betty's tower.

'Are they here to see the Divine being?'

It was the only thing they could think of. The question now was if they were here to destroy it or not. But thinking back at how Nes had protected them against the shadow and all the nice things he had done for Van, she couldn't believe he was a bad person.

She came out from her hiding spot and ran towards the tower.

When she entered, she could see that Mia was giving a strange look to Nes.

When Mia looked over her shoulder, she could see a little smirk on Ray's face.

”What did you do? you know Roy could lose his position as tower master for this?”

For the first time, the Ray by her side had spoken to her.

”He was too rash. First, he attacked one of the Redwing members who was only trying to protect me, then he tried attacking me himself.”

Ray was still upset at the fact that Roy had hurt Jack the first time they had met, and he still hadn't apologized for attacking him. If Jack or himself were any more worn out, he could have killed them. This was Ray's way of not only leaving the academy but also punishing Roy.

”Since when did Roy start attacking you?” She said with a confused look on her face.

There was no longer any need for Ray to hide his appearance. Now that the others thought he was dead, if someone were to spot him looking like Nes now, it would also blow his cover.

Slowly his appearance started to change. His hair colour went from black to red, while his facial features and body were slightly altered. His old human form had returned but still with his dragon features hidden. Ray still wasn't prepared to show anyone that.

Mia stepped back a bit later seeing the transformation, and so did Bliss, but finally for both of them, everything was starting to make sense. The reason Bliss hadn't seen Nes when they went to the Shadow continent was because he was with them the whole time. The familiar feeling she felt.

And Mia, she finally understood they never sent a child to do the Redwings bidding. The leader himself was involved.

”Come on, let's go!” Ray said.
