Chapter 397 - (RECAP CHAPTER) How Ray became a king (2/2)
Reports of the dragon hammer had said it had been seen in Kelberg city. While there they had made some friends along the way and eventually discovered the hammer, but it turns out the hammer had possessed a certain individual. Worried it would ruin the city, Ray and the man had a grand duel. In the end, Ray had come out as the successor of the Duel.
However, a grave accident had occurred once they had captured the man. Gary, Ray's closest and best friend when trying to remove the hammer, ended up getting possessed himself. Unknown to them, the hammer before was owned by an ordinary man yet still he had great power. Now with someone as skilful as Gary, it had possessed far greater power. Once again, Ray found himself too weak to do anything.
While in the city of Kelberg, he discovered that there was another piece of the Divine being. There had been rumours that the Divine being belonged in several cities, but never knew if they were true. One the way to the divine being, Ray's group, had met up with Gary again. For some reason, he had let them go free, and gave them the time frame of a year. In a year's time, there shall be a great battle, a warning sent out to Ray.
After meeting the second Divine being, she had given him a task, Stating that he must find the final piece, located in Roland. To stop the shadow form succeeding in their attack in a year, they would need her help. This led their journey onto Roland.
'Roland, I went there as well, I wonder if he's still upset that he never got in?'
At Roland, finding the last piece of the Divine being proved difficult and one of the Shadow Guard, the strongest members of the shadow plague had gotten in their way. Still, Ray was able to fend him off while also saving the prince of the Kingdom. This was important because the divine being had stated that the prince was important in their goal. And it turned out to be true, for some reason, the shadow plague wishes to get thier hands on the prince.
Once they had met with the final piece of Divine being, she had become whole again and is now with us at Avrion.
”Wait what! You're joking, right, you have to be joking!”
When Slyvia explained what had happened at Roland, she was unable to give full details, as she herself didn't know the full details. What she did know, was for some reason, Ray seemed to have made a few enemies while being there and that included the Empire.
At the time, the Redwing base had been expanding and growing in power, doing many deeds around. The kingdoms nearby and people started to learn of our name. The Empire was afraid and decided that anyone related to the Redwings, shall be our enemy. With our close ties with the Alure kingdom, we were afraid they would get dragged in as well.
The only thing we could do was claim independence as our own Kingdom. During this time, Ray showed them a part of our power to deter the Empire from attacking, they even tried stopping us with the Black rings, the strongest and biggest guild in the allure kingdom but it was no use.
Finally, Slyvia had finished, telling the story of how Ray had become king, she went on to tell that just before she had arrived Ray had gone off with Jack to see his family. While the Kingdom was left with important tasks.
”What an amazing tale, I knew one day Ray would amount to something special, but I never thought it would be this,” Scarlett said as she looked out the window of one of the most amazing cities she had ever seen.
”You didn't tell Ray I was here right, I want it to be a big surprise after all.”
”Of course not, as you requested,” Slyvia replied.
”Well, if he's not going to be here for a few days, I would like to go out with the expedition team if I can. I want to know about the people who travelled with Ray a bit more, and I'm definitely excited to meet the divine being.”
”Of course that can be arranged, they set out early tomorrow.”
”Excellent.”
