Chapter 476 - The other side (2/2)

”What! But Gary, I'm with the Dark Guild now, I can't just leave.”

”You fool,” Gary replied. ”The dark guild is under me now. When I was appointed Shadow guard by the Shadow, I was given the dark guild since they are under human control. Me and Morfran are seen as equals, if I want you, then I can simply take you.”

Monk didn't really know what to say, his feelings were conflicted as he was meeting an old friend. What was even worse, was that Gary felt like he was completely sane. It didn't feel like someone who was infected by the Shadow.

”Avrion, they are sending an army to my fortress as we speak. I felt like you were important in helping my goal, so I ignored it and came here.”

”The knights of Avrion, they are strong, do you think you can beat them?” Monk asked.

”We,” Gary said sternly, adamant that Monk would join him. ”Yes, because I have this.” Lifting up his gauntlet Monk could sense the power, and slowly something was seeping into his mind. An energy he never felt before.

Just seeing the item in front of him, he knew it contained such great power that Avrion stood no chance. Allowing them to have a quick death was doing them a favour. But he kept flickering, images of those at Avrion would appear, and he didn't know what he was thinking right now.

'Martha.' Monk thought.

”You will have to fight Ray,” Monk said. ”You know as well as I do that he will have gotten a lot stronger in this time. He protected Avrion from the Shadow attack before, why can't he do it again?”

”This is not the only power we have,” Gary said. ”The Shadow has given me a gift, a secret weapon that will deal with Ray. Honestly, if we can, I don't plan to kill Ray. I wish to capture him alive, it would be great if he could come over to our side, see what you and me see, but I doubt that very much.”

”If Ray refuses to join?”

”Then, I will have no choice but to kill him.”

Looking at the gauntlet once again, with the energy emitting from it, Monk certainly believed him. The longer he stared at the object, the more he thought it was hopeless to try to fight back and before he knew it, he said.

”I'll join you.”

A smile appeared on Gary's face, after resting the night they went to the border to travel by ship. With him, Gary had a small army of his own. It was hard to tell if they were human or beasts, and there were some true infected on board, but they would all listen to Gary's command.

”It's strange that you were once a squire who trained to fight against the shadow, and now they follow your every order,” Monk said.

”Not just my order, but they will follow yours as well. Both of us now hold a high position in the Shadow's army. Believe me it's not so strange. Even Ray, who was a squire alongside us has become a king.”

”A king!” Monk said surprised. It seems like there was a lot for him to learn about what had happened during his time at the Dark guild.

After travelling by ship for a few days, they had eventually reached the side of the Shadow continent. It was covered in a thick snow which Monk was not expecting, and now they needed to march and travel onward to the fortress to prepare for the Great War.

Finally, they had arrived at the large vast dark castle. Looking at it, Monk just started to wonder, what secret weapon did the Shadow give Gary to fight back against Ray.
