Chapter 483 - The Real Gary (2/2)

The fog was still thick and even Ray was finding it hard to see where to go through this mess. When using his dragon eyes, everything seemed to be a part of the shadow, making it impossible to see Gary who was directly in front of him.

After a few moments, it looked as if Gary had come to. He slowly lifted himself off the floor to find Ray standing above him.

”Tell me why I shouldn't kill you, Gary. Just like you were about to kill Harry.”

”Wait, Ray it's me!” Gary pleaded. ”We don't have much time and I can't explain it, but when you knocked me out, it seems to have suppressed the demon. He seems to have gone to sleep but he could wake up at any moment.”

It was hard for Ray to tell if this was all an act or the truth, but deep down Ray wanted to save Gary and bring him back from the Shadow. He felt partly to blame for Gary being possessed in the first place. When they were younger, his life had been saved by Gary, if it weren't for him he wouldn't be here today.

”While you're not trying to kill me, let me explain.” Gary pleaded. ”A strong powerful beast, originally from this shadow world was unleashed under Avrion during the time we were students. Back then that was what had killed the Dark guild members and the rest of the beasts. It was also what was going around the Avrion area eating every beast in existence.

”This gauntlet that I have Gary, holds many powers but the main one is to control the beast. I'm not proud of what I have done, but I couldn't help myself, the demon ordered it and controlled the beast. When we eventually returned here, using the last bit of my will I controlled the beast forcing it to go back into the pit and hopefully stay there forever.

”This whole time, I would allow the demon to control my body, but I would never let him go back to this pit to summon it out again. Slowly the Demon knew it would take over me though, and it plans to summon it back out again to take care of the Redwing army.

”The seal on the beast is weak and will only last a year at most. I must redo the seal again while I still have control. Otherwise it will be let out. Please Ray, if you don't believe me then come with me. Help me, and if the seal breaks or the demon tries something then kill me or fight the beast with me.”

Again, it was hard for Ray to tell if this was the truth. He tried looking around and could sense no such thing. If he tried to find this seal, or where the beast would be summoned from in this fog he could do nothing. He would have to rely on Gary for that.

”Fine.” Ray said and nothing else.

He allowed Gary to get up from the floor, and the two of them continued to travel through the heavy fog. The gauntlet was still glowing, but Gary reassured him that it was him and not the demon using it. He needed to navigate where they were going in the fog.

Eventually, they had come to a strange podium, and beneath it a magical circle had been drawn.

”This is the place, Ray just in case, you should stand outside of the circle. Maybe the demon is just pretending to sleep and will do something. If I feel him trying to take over, I will shout out to you and then you break the circle.” Gary said. He sounded sane, and sounded nothing like the demon man before.

Ray wanted to believe it was Gary and he was telling the truth. He stood in front of the podium and placed his gauntlet on top of it.

Slowly it started to light up, and then a smile appeared on his face.

”You are not the man I thought you were, to be fooled by that pathetic act!” Gary said.

Soon the light underneath lit up, and something appeared from the ground, forming the large magical circle. The light had blinded Ray temporarily. When he could eventually see again, he could see Gary standing on top of the creature's body.

”Behold!” Gary said with his arms lifted. ”The greatest enemy of mankind, a creature that even the Gods of this world feared. With this, the Redwing Army will be defeated, for I have a Dragon!”
