Chapter 461 - Become the Emperor (2/2)

”Sera, Ares, huh?” Ray thought.

With the conversation over between the two of them, it left Ray with a lot to think about, but ultimately his original plan didn't change. He had just learnt more about the empire. In terms of what to do, honestly he wanted to ask his mother in this situation, but there was no way for him to contact her.

Thinking about this, to make sure what Roki was saying was true, Ray decided to offer him a contract. At first Roki was surprised, he thought Ray was a simple warrior and the magic before his eyes he had never seen before.

Still, he didn't hesitate to accept the contract, which surprised Ray. It seemed like Roki really was loyal to his party and was dead certain that the previous leader was Ray's mother.

After showing Roki how to use the system, they both split ways, and Roki promised he would update him whenever he could.

”Roki, if we meet in the arena, I want you to use your full strength.” Ray said. He wanted to make sure Roki wouldn't forfeit or pull out of the fight just because their relationship as rivals had suddenly changed.

'Of course I will help you grow, and if I leave this place or return, I will teach you how to use a sword. Your skills are quite sloppy.” Roki said with a cheeky grin.

After Ray had called everyone back into the room, he decided to tell them everything. Down to the last detail, including the part about Sera being a god. They already knew about the Divine Being, so it wasn't so much of a far fetched idea.

They seemed to be more stunned than him after hearing everything.

”Ray, are you some kind of main character in a novel or something?” Kyle asked. ”How the hell do so many things happen to you, why you?”

”Well, he is the child in the prophecy.” Martha replied. ”That's why you were selected in that special group at Avrion as well. Thank us all that you weren't the chosen one otherwise we would have all been doomed.”

The group chuckled at the words, but all of this was happening because Ray at one point was a powerful being, and now as a human he was as well. Power pulled in the era, and he had it, but he didn't have it all yet.

With everything discussed, they all decided to get a good night's rest. They would continue through the tournament until the end, and then leave hopefully with no harm being done. Ray at least wanted to see the full extent of Sera's power. He wondered if the Empire or the Shadow was a bigger threat, and which to prioritise, or which was to attack them first.

That night as each of them slept, Sylvia, who was sharing a room with Martha was covered in sweat. She was twisting and turning and murmuring a few indecipherable words. It was the first time something like this had happened.

Then, she placed her hand over her eyepatch, as a slight pain was felt.

'Is it the shadow, is it starting to infect me now? Am I really going to become infected, but I was fine before. Brother also said that none of the others had turned into a true infected.'

Then, a voice was heard in her head.

”I'm…coming….”

The pain suddenly stopped, and the voice along with it.

'I'm coming… What was that, and who…' Sylvia couldn't help but think that maybe this all kingdom tournament event wouldn't go as they all planned, not just for the Redwings, but the Empire as well.
