My Dragon System

Chapter 119 - Silence

Chapter 119 - Silence

A strong smell of iron was filled in the air at the arena. Fights were going on in every section of the arena floor. The third-year students were being kept busy by numerous members of the Dark Guild. The numbers had increased once the knights from outside had gone to escort the remaining citizens.

"When are we going to get any backup!" Harry shouted as he defended another attack.

Mathew, Josh and Jake had also come down from the stands, to help out the students who were fighting against the Dark Guild members on the ground. Mathew knew that if the academy was going to send reinforcements that they should have been here by now.

Either the academy and city were in a worse situation then Mathew thought or they had been abandoned by the academy. Mathew chose to not say these words out loud for fear of the student's morale.

Although the students were tough, they were outnumbered and the Dark guild members were highly skilled but not only that the Dark guild members were fighting strangely. It didn't seem like they were trying to kill their opponents but instead were buying time for something.

Sir K noticed that Mathew was very skilful and decided to stay near him so the two of them could communicate.

"I notice the badge you are wearing, are you a general for the Alure kingdom Army?" Sir K asked as he slashed at another Dark guild member running at him.

Mathew pushed away another Dark Guild member with a small mini water wave.

"Yes, and I think I know what you are going to ask me. The strange power is moving fast, I think at most we have 15 minutes."

"Well, we better get moving then."

Suddenly Sir K and Mathew seemed to move into another gear. They attacked harder and faster at the remaining Dark Guild members as if their life depended on it. The others seeing this was inspired and they too started to attack more aggressively.

Badger and Sloth were still fighting against the two sisters. They were quick and fast and now that they were working as a team, they were almost untouchable. The two sisters couldn't believe it.

"How, we beat you so easily in the tournament!" Aqua screamed as she blocked an attack.

Badger and Sloth didn't say anything, they knew they had the two sisters on their back foot.

Aqua then went for a strike with her metal fan. Badger blocked the strike and then kicked her hand and fan in the air. While doing so, Badger performed a backflip over his brother Sloth. Now Sloth could see Aqua was wide open and he dashed in stabbing aqua in the stomach.

Violet screamed in response to seeing her sister's blood fall to the floor. She recklessly charged in at Sloth completely forgetting about Badger, who was now directly behind her.

"Goodnight," Badger said as he sliced at the back of her neck.

The two sisters then fell to the ground at the same time. Badger and Sloth were tired and worn out. Working together they were skilful but doing so many acrobatics stunts in the middle of fight wore them down quickly, they knew they needed to finish their fight as soon as possible.

The two of them wanted to rest but when they looked around the arena, they could still see the others struggling.

"Come on let's go help out," Bader said.

Sloth nodded and the two of them quickly went to the third-year students who were looked like they needed the most help at the moment.

Meanwhile, Dan was currently facing Arthur in a one on one fight. A couple of Dark Guild members had tried to join the fight to tip the scales in Arthur's favour but Josh and Jake would then use their water magic to push them away.

Dan was seriously struggling against Arthur. He was mainly on the defensive blocking strong powerful blows. Every time the long sword would hit Dan's spear, he could feel the vibrations ringing through his body, causing his arms to feel numb.

Dan knew that if he carried on like this, he would eventually lose the fight and needed to do something fast. Arthur's attacks were not only getting stronger with each strike but he was slowly starting to get possessed more and more by the shadow plague.

The white in his eyes started to turn purple and the power of his Ki continued to increase. The next attack from Arthur caused Dan to stumble and fall to the ground.

"This is the end!" Arthur said as he swung for one last hit at Dan.

Then out from the side, a spinning tornado powered arrow seemed to shoot out of nowhere and knock the sword right out of Arthurs's hand. Dan didn't think twice before using his spear to stab Arthur right in the throat.

A few seconds later Arthurs body had become lifeless. Dan then moved his spear to slowly throw Arthurs body onto the ground. As he got up from the floor, he saw Cherry in the distance had fallen to her knees.

With the help of Badger and Sloth, the third-year students finished dealing with the Dark Guild members. When Cherry went to look around the arena, she saw that Dan was in trouble and used all her energy to shot one last shot, saving Dan's life.

Dan quickly went over to the third-year students and bowed down to Cherry dearly for saving his life, then he quickly noticed that everyone in the arena had stopped fighting. There were no longer any Dark Guild members stood up left alive.

Everyone was tired and worn out, their clothes covered in blood, scars and wounds all over from multiple attacks. If the fight went on any longer, they all would have lost their energy.

Everyone naturally moved to the centre of the arena were Sir K and Mathew were stood. The students wanted advice on what they should next and went to those in charge.

In the middle of the arena was, Sir K, Mathew, Jake and Josh were the a.d.u.l.ts were present. Then the third-year students, Jack, Harry and Cherry and lastly the second year students Badger, Sloth and Dan. Ian was still on the floor slowly breathing, Sir K was doing his best to treat the wounds, it looked like Ian would live for now but needed to get to a hospital as soon as possible.

The arena was suddenly peaceful, as the sound of fighting stopped but that didn't last long. From the entrance of the arena, the sound of people running and m.o.a.ning could be heard. The whole stadium felt like it was slightly vibrating, as the sounds of hundreds of people running could be heard.

Everyone's attention was now on the entrance of the arena, waiting to see what was coming next.
