"The same enemy attacked Avalon twice and nothing had been done about it, which kingdom is responsible for this?" the king shouted.

"We still don't know," Wilfred said with his head down.

"Get me the war commander" the king shouted and Wilfred rushed out immediately.

Boreas who was the war commander had heard the news and was already on his way to the royal palace, his house was close to the palace so he arrived a few seconds later on his black horse.

The royal palace was a huge mansion decorated by a skilled designer, its beauty couldn't be described in words, flowers covered the surroundings, and shiny marbles were used to decorate the ground.

Royal guards stood around along with normal knights who were afraid of the Royal guards despite guarding the same thing.

Boreas was already in the palace and now he was heading to the king's throne room, he knew the king must have heard of the situation so he would definitely be summoned.

Wilfred was rushing outside of the palace when he met with Boreas at the entrance door.

"Good you are already here" Wilfred spoke as soon as he saw Boreas.

"You must have heard of the attack?"

"Yes, and you have been summoned, we should leave immediately," Wilfred said as he turned back.

Both of them increased their pace and quickly walked to the throne room, the palace was huge so they had to walk for some seconds before reaching the throne room, immediately they arrived the king was already on the throne.

"Your Majesty" both of them bowed their heads immediately to show their respect.

"How bad is the situation?" the king asked.

"I'm afraid it's worse than expected, the bullmar city had been destroyed and more than half of our forces were killed, I've sent reinforcements to the city and they would take a day to arrive, I've also contacted knights and mages protecting smaller villages around the capital to visit there," Boreas said with his head bowed.

"How come the city was attacked and we only found out now?" the king shouted.

"It seems the enemy used a spell to block magical transmission so they couldn't contact the capital, we're very sorry your Majesty"

"Avalon is the greatest kingdom in the world, wouldn't this be a stain on our reputation if this gets out, a stronghold like bullmar was attacked and the intruder got away" the king gritted his teeth.

"We captured two of the enemies and they would begin questioning them immediately, though I doubt they would have any information to give"

"And I heard Authur is dead, how did that happen, Isn't he one of the greatest knights in Avalon" the king shouted.

"I think he fought the enemy leader and succeeded in slowing him down for reinforcements to arrive so none of the students were hurt" Boreas spoke.

"So he placed his life on the line for his students" the king mumbled with his eyes closed.

"Infected beasts banded together and attacked a city under the command of a man and we still don't know which kingdom sent him...Wilfred prepare my horse and inform my guards, we're leaving for bullmar city," the king said as he stood up.

"Your Majesty I don't think that's a good idea, other enemies might use this chance to attack the city" Wilfred spoke.

"Prepare my horse, I have my royal army to protect me, we're leaving from the city," the king said as he exited the throne room.

"You know you can't stop him why are you even trying, he would be safe," Boreas said.

"You would go with him right?" Wilfred asked.

"Of course, you should stay here and look after the kingdom," Boreas said as he walked out of the throne room.

"I have a question, why do you want to revive Ray, I thought your plan was to take over his body," Selena asked Kaan.

"My plans changed after I knew who we were up against, and these chains were the reason why," Kaan said.

"These chains?"

"Now that the second scroll is gone, I'm sure Draco is on his way to revive my master without knowing the consequences, for my master to be revived he would need a young powerful body to occupy and Draco is surely the target," Kaan said.

"Wait!! you are telling me the next time we face Draco your master would have taken over his body?"

"Yes, with the power Draco wields and the power of the demons, my master would be unstoppable and he would use his power to create his demonic army and wage war on the world like he wanted to do a long time ago"

"Demonic army, so he can create more demons like you?" Selena asked.

"No, not as powerful as me, I'm one of the first demons he created, and he created nine demons first, each with a unique power and control over a portion of his foot army" Kaan explained.

"Can they be stopped?" Selena asked.

"Yes, but mind you he would also have beasts in his control too, the world should prepare for the worst"

"So you can't go against your master?"

"I don't have the power to do that, the rituals to bring him back would take weeks so if we can locate Draco before then he can be stopped but it's impossible to locate him," Kaan said.

"If Ray is resurrected would he have the power to go against your master?" Selena asked but she was afraid to know the answer.

Kaan wouldn't be able to go against the demon Lord and he was the strongest being Selena knew, if after transferring his powers to Ray to bring him back to life, if Ray wasn't able to defeat him then millions of people would die.

"He should be able to, the demon chains won't work on his cause he won't be a complete demon and he should be powerful enough to fight against my master, but the question remains would he survive the process of the resurrection"

"Then we should begin immediately, it seems all the knights have been gathered," Selena said.

All the surviving knights were gathered in an open space in the academy and in front of them stood Alfred and James.
