Beast Evolution

"Where were you heading to?"

"The knights' academy, this village was attacked and a mage lure us here so he kill us" James replied.

"This is truly getting out of hand, we were called to the capital for a meeting, all the guilds in the city were called"

"Then it must be something serious, we would go with you to the city, so we can report this attack," James said and the man nodded.

He was the leader of his guild black dragons, he and James go way back. The group started to prepare to leave with the adventurers and return back to the capital.

"He's going to be fine," the healer said to Leia and Gabriel as they looked at Ray.

"Thanks," Leia said.

James and the leader of the guild returned and they started preparing to leave, Gabriel was tasked with carrying Ray to the carriage.

As Gabriel touched Ray his body shook furiously and Gabriel quickly called the attention of the healer.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, I tried to carry him and he started shaking again," Gabriel said.

Immediately Ray's eyes opened and he stood up scaring everyone around, he placed his hands together and binds sprouted out from the ground and caught every one of them.

The adventurers that came were 20 in number including the healer and the leader, he also caught all the knights in his [Dark Binds].

"Ray what is wrong," Leia said.

"Leia is that you" Ray turn around and saw Leia caught in his binds.

He thought he was caught by the enemy so as soon as he woke up he tried to capture all of them so he could escape but he was with his friends.

He quickly undid his spell and all of them were free, Leia rushed towards Ray and hugged him tightly.

"Leia...you are squeezing my bones" Ray whispered in her ears.

"Oh...sorry" she quickly backed off and apologized with a smile on her face.

The healer stood still and stare at Ray, she was surprised at the speed of his speed, not even the speed, the spell itself.

'It's rare for someone to have an affinity of darkness, but this kid in front of me has a dual affinity to both ice and darkness'

"Are you surprised?" the leader of the guild asked the healer.

"A bit, I haven't seen someone with a dual affinity of darkness and ice," the healer said.

"Well maybe that's why he was with them, but I can't believe a beast did all of this"

"It's a high level infected beast so it's capable of doing more, I just can't believe a high level beast would wander all the way here, maybe we should ask the knights what really happened," the healer said.

"We are going to Avalon together, so I would ask James," the man said.

"What happened to me?" Ray asked Gabriel as they walked back to the carriage.

"Mana sickness, your Mana was depleted but you still cast a spell to protect us from the beast," Leia said.

"Ohh, that's probably why I saw Mana -1" Ray said.

"What is Mana -1?" Gabriel asked him.

"Nothing, I'm glad no one got hurt badly"

"Yeah, I thought you were going to die, don't try that again" Leia scoffed.

"Me...was the Mana sickness really that bad?" Ray asked.

"You could have died if the mage had not saved you," Gabriel said as the three of them sat down in one of the carriages.

"So Ray you had dark magic and you didn't tell us" Leia whispered.

"Well...I didn't, it was sudden, I haven't practiced it before that's why" Ray lied.

He couldn't tell them that he just got dark magic, and from the looks of it, Leia was excited that he had dark magic.

"Is dark magic amazing?" Ray asked.

"Sometimes I wonder if you are really a mage, then I see you cast a spell, dark magic is pretty rare, I haven't seen any human who has dark magic," Leia said.

Before Ray could speak the senior knights walked in, the carriage was bigger than the one they came with, it had two seats that faces each other, and they sat down opposite the senior knights.

"Hey James" the leader of the guild called him.

"Yes"

"I have something to ask you," the man said.

Alfred and Authur weren't fully recovered but they were conscious and staring at Ray in the carriage, Ray looked at them before looking away.

He knew why they were looking at him, because he used magic, Ray didn't know what would become of him now that they had known that he was a mage.

'I should check my status, maybe the Mana sickness caused any change'
