Chapter 214 - Not just anyone

Chapter 214 - Not just anyone

For the past week, while Ray was busy in Avrion, Gary and Jack continued to do quests with the new group they had found. It turns out that Mike was the leader of the guild named Little pond and they had a total of 5 members in their guild.

Eve, the short little archer was second in charge. While Gary and Jack remained as F Ranks it was impossible for them to complete Quests at the higher level, so they decided to keep helping out the Little pond guild.

After completing quest after quest, finally, Gary and Jack were able to Rank up their tags. Their tags were now a dark purple colour and had the letter D written on it. However, even though some of the quests they completed were Guild quests, they did not receive any points for the Red wings guild.

This was because the majority of the members in their party was part of a different guild and all the points went to them. Meaning the Red wings remained as an F class guild.

They had also managed to earn a fair bit of Coin. They no longer slept at the cheapest inn's and managed to get food whenever they liked. They were still not rich by any standards but they didn't have to think about buying food or where to sleep.

Finally, the day had arrived where the agreed people were to meet at the North Gate of Kelberg city. From there they would travel onwards to a nearby hunting ground for Ray to complete his duel.

When Gray and Jack had arrived at the gate, they could see Lenny's tall figure in the distance. He wore his simple long robe as usual and wore no armour. The man looked more like a mage rather than a former knight.

"Where is Ray?" Lenny asked.

"He told us to message him once everyone has gathered and he will appear," Gary replied.

"Appear?"

"You will find out in a moment."

They continued to wait and the next person that arrived springily was Ark. Gary and Jack thought there was a good chance that Ark wasn't going to come in the first place. However, Ark looked like a completely different person from before, he no longer wore his bright shiny armour. Now he wore simple shirt and trousers and all he had by his waist was a single rapier sword.

"You look different," Gary said.

"Welcome to the club." Lenny cheered.

"I've decided to leave everything behind that reminds me of Fallen angel, every time I looked at that gear it made me feel sick," Ark said.

And finally, the last person to arrive was Lilly with Berg by her side. As she walked out of the gate she had a determined look on her face. It was of someone who carried a lot of weight on their shoulders, a whole city in fact.

"Did you manage to hire anyone?" Lenny asked, "Although we are all strong, we can do nothing if an Army is to attack us."

"Unfortunately, it seems like Fallen angel has spread rumours to the other guilds and adventures," Lilly replied. "Even with me paying double the price for a job like this, I only found one guild that managed to help us.

"And they are?" Gary asked

"They are coming right now."

A few moments after, the whole of the Little pond Guild had come walking out.

"You!" Eve said as she pointed at Gary. "What are you doing here?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing."

"You guys already know each other. That's great" Lilly said smiling.

Despite the dangers of the quest, the Little pond guild had decided to accept because their guild was formed mainly of Archers. Their roles weren't on the front line. If anything was to happen they were confident in their escape.

As Eve looked at the party in front of her one by one, she couldn't help but notice they were surrounded by incredible people.

"Hey, did you see who's here," Lilly whispered to Mike. "That's Ark the famous adventurer from Fallen angel and I didn't realise the Mayor's daughter was involved in this, no wonder the payment was so high."

"Yes." Mike said, "It seems this quest might be more important than we first thought, even those two extremely strong adventures are here and that giant man doesn't seem weak either."

"Do you think it's true then about the Shadow plague being involved?" Eve asked.

But before Mike could answer. Lilly had noticed the two whispering.

"I suppose it's fair that you only know what you have gotten yourselves into." Lilly said, "After hearing what this quest entails you are to make a decision if you wish to continue you or not."

Mike and Eve nodded.

"The quest stated this is an escort mission." Lilly explained. "but it is not simple, we are to escort a man to face a duel with a Demon. Although the Duel is meant to take place one on one, we cannot guarantee that will happen. There is a chance of an ambush. So do you still wish to join us?"

Demons were well known between common folk but only as a myth, not many had seen a man possessed by a God or a Spirit of sorts and Eve and Mike had heard of the rumours of the Demon killing a C Rank adventurer which made them hesitate a little.

But when Eve and Mike looked at Jack and Gary, they felt like with these two they could do anything.

"We accept." Mike said, "I assume one of you will be duelling the demon man?" Mike said as he looked at Jack, Gary and Ark.

"Actually, the person who will be fighting isn't here yet." Gary said, "I completely forgot to message him."

Gary then sent a message to Ray and after waiting for 30 seconds, a magical circle next to Gary appeared. It started to glow bright white and slowly a human figure started to form, until Ray appeared.

"What the, it's just a boy," Eve said, expecting some sought of giant of a man like Lenny or Jack.

"Careful what you say about him." Jack said, "That boy is our Boss."
