Chapter 504 - Not the target (1/2)

”What is Kyle talking about?' Van thought, while at the same time he was wondering if his life was soon about to end.

When had Kyle been possessed by the Shadow? He thought. Was it after his fight with Gary? Or  when the Dragon bones were discovered. If he was the assassin, then it meant he was also the one that was responsible for killing the Redwing members.

It was just so hard to believe that someone that close to their inner circle, was working for the shadow the whole time. Although it also wasn't the first time. Did Kyle lose the fight against the large man on purpose? Now everything that Kyle had done so far seemed suspicious.

'How come he couldn't heal his leg with Ki? Why did he decide to take the first attack head on?'

Whatever the case, right now all Van wanted to do was live. However, he came to realise that his fighting skills were weak. This whole time he had been relying on his magic and the white stone. As a mage, the second the enemy got close to you it was over, in a way, an assassin type class was the most dangerous for mages.

”The Redwings will lose this war.” Kyle said.

”I knew it was you.” A voice from behind said.

Turning around, Kyle had no choice but to release the hold he had on Van, and twisted his body in such a way, so his legs were now up by where his head was. With the beast gear on his shin, his leg had clashed against a sword and stopped the attack, balancing himself with one hand on the ground.

Getting away he quickly drew the black raven sword.

”You have been a pain in my backside this whole time, following me wherever I go!” Kyle shouted, annoyed.

Van, now able to breathe and move, could see who had just saved his life. It was Harry.

”Everyone, wake up, we're being attacked!” Van shouted at the top of his lungs.

The cry had woken up the others up,half asleep, they were looking at what was going on in front of them. They could only see Harry, with his two blade's drawn and Kyle.

”Lenny, it's Harry, he's been taken over by the shadow he's the assassin, he just tried to kill Van.” Kyle shouted. ”I'll go protect him.”

Kyle dashed towards Van, and Harry was ready to stop him, but due to Kyle's allegations, Lenny had acted using his glowing magic hands to restrain and hold Harry.

”You have it all wrong, protect Van. Kyles the assassin!” Harry shouted back, not wanting to hurt Lenny.

A smile appeared on Kyle's face, and it looked like his plan had worked. During his time he knew there would be a point where he would be revealed. Yet, there was one person who was suspicious and on his back constantly, so his plan was to turn everyone against that person, Harry.

However, Harry had great trust with the others since the last war, the only one that he was able to convince was Lenny, but it looked like it would be enough for now.

Still, there was one more person who was not convinced.

”Leave him, Kyle is the one infected by the shadow.” Ray said.

He didn't know how, but this whole time he was able to hide it from him, but attacking Van, he must have used some powers of the shadow to do so, to make him imobile. Now when using the dragon eyes, the dark shadow could be seen around his body.
