Chapter 33 33 Sparing

What surprised Ray was not the jumping but he wasn't coming down, he was actually flying, he increased his speed in the air and charge toward the mage, *swoosh* a spear pierced Ray's stomach and he fell to the ground.

The world spun in Ray's eyes as he fell, he was going to die, he knew that, his heart was failing and he struggled to breathe.

"Ray, Ray" Lily shouted his name as she rushed towards him, he stretch his hands to touch her face before he blacked out. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

"No" Ray shouted as he woke up from sleep, 'Was that really a dream, it felt so real' Ray thought, he looked around and found his blood spear on the floor, Lily must have carried it because he didn't remember carrying his weapon.

He was the only one in the room, Ray saw his pet wolf sleeping peacefully on the ground, "Lily must have protected it", "where is everyone" Ray mumbled as he stretch his body and went outside.

*clang*

Sounds of sword clashing filled the air, Arya and Lily were sparing and jack just sat down watching them.

"They are skilled, but not up to my level," Ray said as he sat down near jack, "Arya is far more skilled than you, I have seen you use your weapon, you need more practice," Jack said without looking at him.

'This transformation skill is making me very angry' Ray said inwardly, "maybe we should test each other and see" Ray said to jack with confidence.

"Ohh, you seem confident, I would like to see you lose," Jack said and stood up to get his sword.

"Are there going to spar or fight, which of them?" Lily said to Arya, "I really don't know", Jack picked up his sword from the ground and faced Ray.

"We should watch this" Arya said, "who do you think would win?" Lily asked her, "I trust jack, you would see why".

"Aren't you going to get your weapon, because that doesn't look like a sword?" Jack said, "don't worry we have a special connection" Ray smiled, and immediately both his blood spears appeared in his hands.

"Wow, what was that," Arya said surprised, "the power of an arcane knight" Lily mumbled.

*Clang*

The two of them clashed swords immediately, Ray knew that jack was stronger than him when they clashed swords, they pushed each other backward. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

Jack held his sword with both of his hands, immediately he rushed toward Ray and slashed him, Ray dodge his attack slightly and used the opportunity to strike jack.

Jack turned his sword backward and used it to block Ray's attack, Ray moved away from jack, "nice moves you got" Ray said to him.

"What can I say, I'm the best" Jack shouted and attacked Ray.

"This is too intense, don't you think," Lily said, "no, jack knows when to stop", " I can't say that about Ray" Lily muttered as she continued to watch the battle.

"What's going on" the merchant and his wife stepped outside and saw the boys battling.

"Are they actually fighting or training?" the merchant wife asked her husband, "wow, they are so skilled", " I hope our son can be like them when he grows up" the wife said, "yes, I hope so too".

Ray and Jack were breathing heavily as they continued to clash swords, 'I won't last long in this fight, my stamina is almost drained, I have to end this' Ray whispered to himself.

"Thinking of a plan huh" jack laughed at Ray, Ray charged toward him and attacked, jack wasted no time and also attacked Ray.

Ray jumped backward and hurled his spear towards jack, jack used his sword to deflect it and Ray threw the other spear.

Jack dodge the spear even though their distance was not far, Ray purposely threw his spear so he would dodge and hoped for something and it happened.

Ray charged toward jack barehanded, jack took a swing at ray with his sword but ray dodged it and attempted to punch jack.

Jack used one of his hands to stop Ray's blow effortlessly, Ray jumped back but jack rushed after him.

"That's what I was hoping for," Ray said and his spear appeared in his hands, Ray caught jack off guard and attacked him furiously till his sword dropped from his hands.

Jack jumped back and Ray kicked his sword away from his reach, "What are you going to do now" Ray smirked, Jack closed his eyes and Ray felt strange energy around him.

This was not mana, this was something else, Ray could see it, it looked like some kind of energy was enveloping his body but others couldn't see it.

"Hey, what's that," Ray said to jack, "Time to get serious," Jack said and dashed towards ray with speed, Ray used his spear to slash jack.

Jack caught the spear midair, "huh" ray was shocked and swung the other spear which jack also caught, jack stretched Ray's arms and twisted it till both of the spears fell down then he used his strength to toss Ray.

Ray fell down but he stood up immediately, "okay, time to try my own trick" Ray muttered, 'power punch'.

"Is it my eyes or are his hands really glowing?" Arya said and Lily was surprised, Ray charged toward jack and tried to punch him but jack was quick and dodge his blow, jack held Ray's hand and lift him up and slammed him on the ground.

"Argh" Ray's back was screaming in pain, jack was on top of him holding his hand at Ray's face.

Ray sighed "get off me", jack smiled and stood up and the energy in his body disperse, jack staggered and fell to the floor but uses his hands to support himself.

"So that power comes at a cost," Ray said as he stood up, 'shit' Ray fell down to the ground as his stamina was depleted.

"What about you," Jack said and both of them laughed, "seems like there are finally going to become friends," Lily said, "I don't think friend is the right word, more like rivals," Arya told her.
