Beast Evolution

"This time would be different... Selena I wanted to ask if you know any long-distance teleportation spell?" Ray asked.

"Even if we were to consider your plan, we are the ones going, not you," Authur said.

"You can't stop me from going," Ray said without a hint of fear in his voice.

"I've had enough of you brat" Alfred rushed towards Ray.

Ray didn't expect Alfred to attack him but Alfred had other plans, Alfred dashed towards Ray and held his neck tightly.

"What did you say?" Alfred asked with his eyes widely opened.

"S-Sir...you are..." Ray couldn't speak as Alfred held his neck, he quickly threw one of his spears away and Alfred's hands clenched together.

Alfred's eyes widen in shock as he saw Ray standing a few steps away from him coughing on the ground with his hands on his neck.

"Alfred what is wrong with you" Selena shouted at him.

"What just happened? Did he just teleport from here to here?" Alfred spoke with a questioning face as he looked at Authur and James.

Authur and James were equally surprised at the power he displayed now, this wasn't a spell and they all knew, they have spent their lives fighting and they had seen different teleportation spells during those times and this wasn't like any of them.

Ray stood up from the ground and glared at Alfred murderously, his breathing was ragged as he stood up from the ground with both of his spears in his hands.

'I don't think now is the time to get angry, I told you to control your anger now that I'm in your body' Kaan said.

'Didn't you see what he did to me'

'Yes and the previous you would apologize but here you are staring at him with your weapon in your hands, he's strong you know, I can feel it, I don't think you can beat him, that is without my help'

'Speaking of your help, how do I use your demon powers, how do I awaken?'

'Blood, you need blood that's all, and I'm case you don't know, if you awaken my powers I'm not sure your body would be able to withstand it'

'Did you say blood, like drink blood like a vampire...and why would my body not be able to withstand it'

"What are you doing holding a weapon towards me, do you want to challenge me" Alfred spoke.

"I'm very sorry Sir, I apologize," Ray said with his head down.

"Ray, have you mastered his powers?" Selena asked.

"Yes I have," Ray said.

"Come, I should place another seal so he wouldn't be able to swap places with you like he did last time and murdered someone," Selena said.

"No need, he's under my control I just gave him access because I didn't want to kill the knight myself, and do you have teleportation spells?"

"What did you just do? Wasn't that teleportation?" James asked.

"Only short distance unfortunately I can't reach them, or I would have gone without telling you guys," Ray said.

A female knight ran towards the four of them and was surprised to see a boy with them, he was holding two spears and looking at her, the face was familiar and the lady stare at Ray closely.

"Who is this...wait Ray," Ivy said.

"Ohh... it's really her, ivy the instructor of the archery class, and the knight I luckily touched to secure my spot in the knight academy" Ray mumbled.

"What is he doing here? I thought all first-year students has been secured" she asked Authur.

"Not important, what's the status?" Authur asked.

? "The beasts are still not moving like they are waiting for something, and all of them are infected, our arrows wouldn't do a thing unless we chop their heads off" ivy spoke.

"We can't possibly hope of defeating an army this large without losing half or more than half of our forces, Avalon would be greatly weakened even if we win we would be easy picking for other kingdoms, especially Xethen empire"

"If news gets to them they would run over with their forces and try to take over Bullmar city" Authur explained.

"So we don't have much of a choice, and we can't ask for Royal knights, it's impossible for them to leave the capital except it's being attacked from the outside," Alfred said.

"You aren't considering my plan," Ray said.

"Your plan has little or no chance of success, it's all assumption, what if when we get there he gets in a portal and leaves, what if he order the beasts to attack us, we can't transport an army there so we'll be easy picking for a large group of infected beast" Alfred spoke and sighed heavily.

"What plan did he propose?" ivy asked.

"If we defeat Draco, the army of beasts would attack themselves, Selena would put a barrier around the knight academy till the beasts kill themselves then we kill the rest" James replied.

"Wait... Selena, the head of the mage academy, is she here?" ivy asked immediately.

"Hello ivy, did you miss me" Selena spoke.

"What!! you are really here, can you do something about this, you can do something right?" ivy asked.

"Not much...I haven't fully recovered, but I'm conjuring a spell that would at least kill half of them, but the enemy is bringing beasts through portals so it wouldn't matter" Selena spoke.

"Why didn't you say so?" Authur asked.

"That was going to be the last resort, I was still thinking of a better plan"

"You have a spell like that, then we should use it, then the knights should attack and the senior knights would go for Draco, and his gang of warriors," Ray said and all of them stared at him.

"Why are you even here, and you are giving orders, who do you think you are, I'll get someone to take him away," ivy said.

"Don't... he's with me" Selena said.

"He's with you, why? is he a mage?"

"Yes, we'll take about that later, to the matter at hand, we'll attack first," Authur said.

"Okay...the beast army are made of goblins, orcs, boars, bears, wolves, 5 speartooth, mane lions, some large beasts are far away but I can't identify them, but how did he get 5 speartooth" Alfred gritted his teeth.

"What are speartooth?" Ray asked.

"They are extremely rare, you are lucky to come across one and escape, they are incredibly fast and powerful...and now infected" James clicked his tongue.

"How far are you able to teleport?" Authur asked him.

"It's not technically teleportation, it's my weapon, I can teleport towards it, if I can get one of my spears there, I can teleport an army as long as they are touching me directly" Ray explained.

"You can teleport, I thought you were a knight?" ivy asked with a loud voice.

"So that's why you don't need to draw a magic circle, the distance is truly far, but can we trust that demon or whatever it is" James spoke. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

"He's the one that told me about his master, and the teleportation is also his power not mine, Selena sealed him inside of me so I wouldn't die"

"When were you attacked?" Authur asked Selena.

"When we were out," Selena said without glancing in their direction.

"You said you were taking him to train, how did you come across a demon that he almost killed Ray, if it did kill him, how would we explain that," Authur said angrily.

"Don't raise your voice at me, you don't know what happened, and my spell is ready so what's the plan?" Selena said in a cold voice.

"... Still none yet, we are just bickering without doing anything, we should at least do something, the knights are still waiting for orders" Alfred spoke.

"What does your spell do, maybe we can use it to our advantage," Authur asked Selena.

"You can't, it's [Black Flames]" Selena said and all of them gasped.

'What's black flames'

"The beasts are ready to strike, why is master taking his time," Vincent said to his brother Vaan.

"I don't know, he seems to be thinking about something, but nothing is going to change, we are going to destroy the academy even though we wait till morning," Vaan said.

They were currently close to the forest, far away from the academy, Vincent, Vaan, Aurora, Ian, Edith, and Draco along with their army of hundred humans, then the large group of beasts in front of them.
