Beast Evolution

"Okay...use the power like it's mine..." Ray mumbled.

"Ray what are you doing, you still haven't told us the plannn..." Ivan couldn't finish what he was saying as Ray disappeared right in front of them.

All of their jaws dropped as Ray disappeared into thin air, he didn't cast a spell or do anything, he just teleported.

Ivan used his hands to close his mouth but as soon as he dropped his hands, his mouth unconsciously opened again, it happened so fast that they couldn't comprehend what happened.

Crystal gulped, "Did he just teleport, I don't know much about magic but I'm sure that is something just anyone can do right"

"Yes...for most teleportation a magic circle has to be drawn and it takes a considerable amount of time to complete then the mage would cast a spell before they would be able to teleport," Sofia said.

She knew more about magic than anyone in their group, even Ray who was a mage.

Ray opened his eyes and he was in the dungeon where he was earlier, a smile was on his face as he stood up from the ground with his spear.

He remembered when he first used a skill, he just thought about what he wanted to happen and it did, the system was a big help to him in that aspect.

As Ray stood up something caught his eye, a head was on the ground and he recognized the person, it was the knight he was tracking that was in possession of the black liquid.

For some reason an image flashed in his eyes, he was the one that killed the knight, Ray looked at the spear in his hand and it was stained in blood, the blood of a fellow knight.

"Huh...wait, did I kill..." Ray mumbled as he walked backward.

Since he reincarnated here he has killed any human being, even when he fought against Draco he had the intention to kill Draco because he believed he was evil, but this knight was different.

"You didn't kill him...I did, when you ran out of the room the awakening was also complete and you were going to lose consciousness so I took over" Kaan said.

"You took over and murdered someone...a knight at that," Ray shouted.

"He betrayed you, he betrayed his comrades and besides this isn't murder, I've killed countless humans that I can't even begin to count, this one is no different," Kaan said.

"Why are you taking this lightly, you bastard, what did the knights say?" f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"They knew you didn't kill him, and do you really have time to be whining about a life, when thousands of knights are about to die and this bastard that I killed was responsible," Kaan said.

"That's right, he's an enemy of Avalon" Ray mumbled trying to convince himself.

"For a beast, you sure love humans, aren't you supposed to be enemies, do you think you would be treated the same if the knights and your friends find out that you are a beast?"

"Nothing will change..."

"Not everyone is as curious as that lady mage, and she doesn't even trust you completely that's why she came all this way to keep an eye on you," Kaan said.

"What nonsense are you spewing, I have important things to take care of" Ray shouted angrily.

"Then we need to leave...and for some reason, the army of beasts stopped moving"

"They stopped moving what are they waiting for?" Ray said with a questioning look.

"We'll know that when we get there and bring your friends too," Kaan said.

"I should bring my friends...why?"

"They may prove useful, I have a good reason but I can't explain to you till the need arises, get them and get moving, the spell can teleport you along with others," Kaan said.

Ray kept the spear on the ground and teleported back to the underground room.

Ray appeared in front of his friends and they had strange looks on their faces, Ray knew they would be confused about his strange powers but now wasn't the time for an explanation.

'What's these soft things on my back' Ray mumbled as he rubbed his back against something soft and bouncy.

"Ray what are you doing..." Lily's voice sounded in his ears and he slowly turned around, Ray flinched and he slowly moved forward.

Lily was holding the spear when Ray appeared so he appeared on her lap because she was seating on the ground.

The students in the room were divided into two large groups, the first-year, and second-year students, among the students groups were made among friends and they were all busy mumbling to each other about the current situation.

Even though they weren't paying attention to their group, if all of them were to disappear a large space would be empty causing suspicion, and would eventually be discovered.

"The army advancing had stopped moving for some reason and I don't trust Kaan" Ray mumbled.

"Who is Kaan?" Lily asked.

"We can't all leave, they are too many eyes and if we leave people would suspect, and then our classmates might figure out that we're missing, then what happens," Ray said.

"Before anything else, how are you able to teleport without casting a spell, are you really a mage?" Sofia asked.

"She's right, isn't teleportation something difficult to achieve, if you are able to do it so freely then all the mages would be able to teleport" Crystal spoke.

"It's too complicated even if I try to explain, you guys wouldn't understand and we don't have time on our side, I didn't want to return but I have a reason," Ray said.

"None of the girls are coming, you should cover us when we teleport," Ray said.

"That's a good plan...so what do we do," Jack asked.

"Just hold onto me," Ray said.

"Ray...come back safely, and bring them back safely," Lily said.

"Roger that..." Ray smiled.

"Roger that... what's the meaning of that?"

"We're leaving..." Ray said and the girls formed a wall and covered them.

"Y-You guys should stay out of trouble," Martha said with her head down, this was the first time she was speaking since they came down here.

"Where are we?" Gabriel asked as he opened his eyes.

Five of them were teleported to the dungeon, Gabriel, Ivan, Jack, Dan, and Ray

"A prison...we should move immediately, there's no time to waste," Ray said and grabbed his spear from the ground. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

'Kaan, any changes?'

'No the army is still not attacking, maybe they are planning an attack, and if my master was weak, there's no way he would be able to do something like this' Kaan said.

'So he's already revived...'

'No not that, is there anything you can tell me about the infected beasts that I don't know'

'I don't know but I've fought many infected beasts, they attack recklessly because their bodies heal if attacked except you deal a finishing blow, and also they have no beast crystal'

'They have no crystal, that's probably it, he's infecting their crystals and using them to generate power for himself, we should move'

"Ray...why are you spacing out?" Gabriel asked as Ray stood still for some seconds.

"Let's move..." Ray took the lead and took them to the entrance of the dungeon. Ray opened the door slowly and took a peek outside to make sure no knights were patrolling.

"Why are you peeking, there should be no one here anyway," Jack said.

The five of them came out of the room and ran towards the main gate immediately, the boy just followed Ray without hearing his plan.

"So Ray you still haven't told us your plan' Ivan said.

"I don't have a plan, but I have a task," Ray said.

"You don't have a plan, then what are you doing, running into war to die" Dan snorted.

The group passed through the academy gates and ran towards the Amin city gates, they didn't know if that was his location, because they were just following him.

"I'm going to end the war, I'm going towards their leader, I'm not going to war, the knights are going to win the war," Ray said.

"Towards their leader... Isn't he going to be at the very end, away from all the fighting?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes, that's the plan..."

"How do you intend to do that with all the infected beast army you mentioned?"
