Chapter 448: Brocken Promise

Chapter 448: Brocken Promise

Ray's right hand was still holding tightly onto the back of Bob's neck. Applying a slight heat of fire magic every single time he would think about moving. In his hand was valuable information. He was the last person to apparently see his friends, so he wasn't going to let him go away that easy.

The others had waited long enough, the first one to charge in was at the young blonde man with the long sword. Not moving from his spot, Ray defended the blow with his gauntlet. Knocking the sword away. The hit was so heavy that the sword was plunged into the ground and was stuck. While there wasn't a single mark on Ray's gauntlet.

'What are those things made of?'

Before the young knight could even recover, a big foot had kicked him sending him flying across the floor.

"What crazy power! I guess he really did hit that king tier beast. I thought they might have just alerted what we had seen. Spiced it up with some magic, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all." One of the older warriors who were there said.

Two crossbows came shooting out from the side, fast, but these were simple for Ray to block. He wasn't even going to bother using himself. Instead, he gripped tighter into Bob's neck. Causing his blood to drip down his neck.

He lifted the large body with a single hand and moved it in front of the blots. They had pierced his large back and had gone through his strong beast armour.

"Ah! I'm sorry." The female warrior said. "I didn't think he would be so shameless."

The bolts that had been used were made from beast crystals, including the bow. They were of high quality which made the attack strong, piercing right through the thick armour that Bob was wearing.

Even Ray would have been affected if he had been hit by those.

Before he knew it though. Three of the other warriors had dashed in. One holding two short swords. An old man with a spear and lastly Bob's female partner Savanna came in with two daggers. All of these warriors specialised in close quarter combat.

As long as they saved the so-called hostage, then it would allow for the few ranged users that were there, to help with the attack.

The thought of using magic had come to Ray's mind, but then a reminder had come into his head. About how Slyvia had told him not to. Not unless they were planning to leave this place and Ray was still planning to take part in the all kingdom tournament.

Instead, he squeezed his fist tightly.

"It feels a lot better if I deal with the punishment directly anyway." Ray thought.

Seeing all three of them come towards him, and the skill they possessed, he could see where each one would move with their attack with his Dragon eyes. Thier Aura was practically emitting it to him.

The problem was, there was no way for him to avoid one of the attacks if he was to keep hold of Bob, and not use any of his magic. Either way, he needed to take one hit.

The spear was the first one to reach him being one of the longest reach. While Savana jumped up in the air, and another came from below.

"No matter what you do now, one of us will get you for this." Savana shouted.

But then unexpectedly. Ray didn't move from his spot at all as they expected him too. Instead, he allowed for the spear to pierce into his body. It had broken through the armour, but after going a few inches into his skin, it had stopped slightly.

"This man's body, it's solid. It's nearly as strong as a beast. What is this sorcery?" The old man said.

In the air, one attack was enough, at the same time, Ray stomped on the ground, causing a piece of it to rise up, blocking the path of the attack from below. Then while the other was in the air. Ray had channelled his Ki, throwing a fist outward.

"But his fist won't reach me from there." Savana thought.

It was strange, she couldn't understand why he had thrown out his fist so soon. With her two daggers, she had a reach advantage, even if he was faster and could block one, she could attack with the other.

When the fist hit the air, she thought he had simply miscalculated, but then the air started to move, a loud bang was heard as if a type of air barrier was broken. Before she knew it, she felt a large heavy thud in her stomach. Blood spilt from her mouth as she fell to the floor.

What Ray had performed was a Ki blast attack. Before in the past, Ray wouldn't use Ki as much as he was doing now. The reason being, Ki and mana were treated the same. If he used too much Ki, then he wouldn't have enough mana to perform his magic skills as well.

Now he no longer had to worry about that.

The other warriors had repositioned themselves, to get on the other side where Bob was. After all, there were eleven of them and only one of him. Even when fighting three at once they could see the man was suffering injuries. It encourged them, making them feel like they could defeat the man.

The more other warriors came in to attack Ray once again, and the old man had managed to pull his spear out using his own ki. When the two were ready to attack, the old man with his spear proceeded to do the same thing again, only this time. He chose not to go so deep. He had injured him before, and this time he would try a different method.

Once again, Ray decided the best choice was to take the upcoming attack. However, the old man allowed the spear to only go through the armour and slightly pierce the skin. Then right after, he would take the spear out, and stab continuously.

After Ray had delved a ki blast to the next two, he knew he needed to deal with the spear user, but the old man had anticipated this and decided to jump back. While he was holding onto Bob, it was hard for him to move.

Ray could twist and turn, but running after people was too much. Still, the old man looked at the floor, and could see four defeated warriors that were supposedly the best of the best from the other kingdoms. At the same time, he also had done all this while holding onto Bob.

Not only that, but he was fighting them all at once.

Now, Ray was bleeding quite heavily from all his punctures on his body. The blood being a slight red, but mostly dark as if black in colour.

In the heat of the moment, the old man didn't really notice it, but now when he looked at the tip of his spear. The blood was certainly darker than most.

"You….what are you?" The old man said in fear.

His eyes had met with Ray's, and a cold chill entered his body. His forehead started sweating. This man had yet to even show them everything he had. If he wasn't holding on to Bob. He had no clue how much longer they would last.

"What is happening here." A voice from the back said.

The old man didn't want to turn around to see who it was, he felt if he broke eye contact with Ray for a second, he would be devoured there and then.

However, the person naturally walked in front of him.

"Do you not remember our promise, young man." The person who was walking forward and who had spoken. Was none other than Roki from the arena. "You said we would fight the Emperor tier beast. Compete together, did you not?"

Roki looked at the young man in front of him. He was standing strong, but he was covered in wounds. He was more hurt than he looked. If he was to fight the emperor tier beast, he would need to do so in the best of conditions. A sad feeling entered his heart as he started to think that Ray would perhaps have to quit.

"Let him go!" Savana said, as she had regained consciousness from the blow before. "We don't know where your friends are. We saw them in the Flower tavern the other day. That's the last time we saw them!" She cried. "We just made a stupid bet, a stupid bet. Please just let him go."

Hearing that, and looking at Roki. Ray finally let go of Bob, who instantly fell to the ground. He was still conscious, but he refused to get up in front of such a monster.

Instead of walking towards the arena, Ray instead had turned around and started to walk back towards Roki. The other warriors who had yet to join in all drew their weapons out of fear.

When Ray finally met up with Roki he had few words to say.

"I'm sorry, I won't be taking part in this event. I have to save them." Ray said, and he was off running in the opposite direction.
