Chapter 392 - Zrey no more

Chapter 392 - Zrey no more

Seeing the giant ball of fire light up the entire city caused the citizens to panic even more. It couldn't have possibly been anything but a powerful beast. No human would be able to achieve something so big. The last few who had chosen to stay in the city had now changed their mind and were trying their best to leave as soon as possible.

However, leaving the town wasn't an easy task. There were only two entrances into the city that was built underground, and this had caused a massive queue on either side. Not only that, but there weren't enough workers or knights to keep the whole commotion in order since they had been called to deal with the problem at the auction house.

A large crowd of people had gathered at each of the exits carrying all of their belongings. They continued to shove and push each other as if their lives were depending on it.

At one of the towers by the exit, the workers who were in charge of opening and closing the entrance were troubled with what to do. The standard procedure meant they had a routine they needed to go through before letting out each person from the town. This was to make sure the city of Zrey remained a secret to the outside.

An old man stood looking at the chaos below.

"It's clear as day to anyone watching this. This is?the end of the town known as Zrey." With that, he closed his eyes and said a little prayer. "Open the doors, both of them. These people aren't animals; they can leave when they want. If the Dem's have a problem with it, they can come to me!" The man ordered.

Just then, from the tower off in the distance, he saw a large ball of fire incoming towards them in a projectile; as it hit the ground, it had erupted into flames.

"Quickly." The old man said. "We're getting out of here as well."

In front of the auction house, the ball of fire had just been thrown by Ray. Not only was the attack massive, but it was strong as well. When one would use magic from a fire attack, they often didn't act like normal flames that fed off oxygen to keep itself burning. Instead, it would get its power from the user.

Once all the magic had been used up, that was put into the attack, the flames would disappear. As this happened, Ray looked at the scene in front of him, and there was nothing left. All the stalls that were once there were now turned into ashes.

However, when looking further ahead at where he had thrown the attack, something had surprised him. The yellow knights hadn't obliterated with the flames. Though they were all knocked out on the floor, their bodies have not disappeared. And not just that, but two of the knights remained standing on their feet—one who wielded a shield and one who wielded a sword.

These were the respective captains of their squads.

"Is it the yellow armor that saved them from the attack? There must be something more behind this than that meets the eye." Ray thought.

The two captains felt they were duty-bound and continued to head forward. Even though they had seen such an inhuman action, they thought if such a person were to present an attack, they would have to be weak or low on power. No human would be able to have that amount of magical power.

Ray, seeing these two men march forward to him he suddenly came up with an idea.

"It seems like my fighting skills have rusted quite a bit," Ray said as he walked down from the auction stairs and towards the two knights. "I tell you what, cause I need to freshen up the fighting skills. I won't use any magic and just use my fists."

The two knights looked at each other, slightly confused. Wasn't this man a mage? How is he able to deal with two experienced fighters? Still, he did wear the armor of that of a warrior, so his words might have actually held some truth.

"Well, what are you waiting for," Ray said, punching his fist into his hand.

Inside the auction house, Russell had no clue what was happening outside. A massive explosion and commotion were heard, but he simply thought it was them fighting. He knew Ray was strong, but there was no way one man could deal with a whole army by himself.

`All I need to do is get rid of these guys, this will clear all of my obstacles, and I can live the best life with no problems." He thought, unaware of what had happened with the current citizens and people inside the town.

Katy and the others were busy fighting the regular yellow knights while Jack dealt with the other two captains. However, there was an experience when it came to fighting, which was really starting to show. No amount of equipment or beast gear could turn sudden slaves into fighters.

There were a few who had some experience and were managing just to hold on. Even Katy herself, who used to be a soldier, was struggling against the knights. They were older, stronger, and faster when it came to their attacks. Yet, she had never heard of a secret army being so well trained before. It also started to make her wonder how Russell was able to get them to be this skilled in the first place.

It was clear, if the fight were to continue, they would lose.

When Jack was going up against the two captains, he fared a bit better than Ray. This was due to Jack not caring about whether he got hit or not by the weapons. As they scratched and scr.a.p.ed his body, they would quickly heal after. But there was another real problem. No matter how many times Jack would knock the captain yellow knights down, it seemed like they would get back up again.

'Are these guys zombies?' Jack thought.

Someone fired an energy blast from the back, which managed to hit him right on the snout. When he looked where it had come from, it seemed the magicians on stage had now also joined the fight. It was clear they were outnumbered, and something needed to be done to turn the tides. The question was, what?

'I'll get rid of the annoying ones first!' Jack thought as he ran and leapt over the two yellow captains and landed directly on stage where the mages were.

Four energy blasts from the palm of their hands came out and hit Jack all over, but they did nothing to him while he was in his werewolf form.

With a single swipe, one of the mages went flying through the air and the backstage curtain, crashing into the items that were meant for sale. Unlike the yellow knights, the mages didn't have the armor protecting them, and they didn't get back up.

"He's going for the mages," Russel said, panicking. "I need them for the slave contracts. He'll ruin my business."

Seeing this, only one thing sprang into his mind.

"Stop right there, Jack!" Russel shouted.

Jack had dealt with another mage already before hearing the voice and turning around and when he did. He was shocked to see his father holding up a sword towards the neck of Rachel.

"If you don't stop, I'll kill her right here," Russell said.
