Beast Evolution

"I told you we should just leave it be" Kaan shouted as he moved backward.

The room they were in was extremely hot due to the salamander, the salamander was a large red lizard that had the ability to breathe fire from its mouth, and the body of the salamander was also scorching hot so they couldn't get too close.

Before the start of the war, Gabriel, Ivan, Dan, and Jack were caught and taken back to the underground room for safety.

It was still night time as two knights escorted them back to the underground room, as soon as the boys stepped in, two knights immediately spotted them and ran towards them.

"Where were you guys" the knights shouted at the boys.

"Take them to safety, we're leaving" the two knights who escorted them turned around and dashed towards the main city gates to join other knights to stop the attack.

The four of them were escorted back to the underground room, only a few knights had the key to the door which was why they stood watch.

The four of them entered the room and the door was shut immediately, they had no choice but to walk back to where the girls were.

"What do you think is happening, how can someone attack the knight academy?" Martha asked.

"Infected beasts are being controlled, so instead of humans they would be facing mindless beasts, and I can't imagine the large number of beasts that would invade the academy" Leia spoke.

"I just hope the boys are alright," Arya said, the girl all looked at Lily who wasn't speaking, she was just mumbling some words.

"They are going to be okay," Arya said.

"She's not worried about them, she's only worried about Ray" Crystal spoke with a smile.

"Of course, the other boys would escape if the danger is too much or the fight is beyond their ability, but you can't say the same about Ray, even if he would die in the process he would still fight for Avalon" Lily muttered.

"Huh! the boys are back," Martha said and the girls all raised their heads and looked at the boys as they walked towards them but something wasn't right, Ray wasn't among them.

"Where is Ray?" Lily asked before the boys could speak.

"We were planning to return back after we saw the look of things, this was a large-scale war and we would only be burdens to the knights so we returned back but Ray left us," Ivan said.

"He left you, how did that happen?" Leia asked.

"He used his teleportation to escape and some group of knights found us and brought us back" Gabriel replied.

"I told you guys, I told you...I knew something like this would happen" Lily leaned on the wall and closed her eyes.

"Lily you have nothing to worry about, Ray is able to teleport, that way he can avoid danger," Leia said to Lily.

"But Ray's teleportation is different, I'm sure it takes a large amount of strength from his body," Sofia said.

"You are not helping" Crystal sneered.

"I'm sorry...the knights are going to win the battle so don't worry, Ray would be safe" Sofia added.

"This particular battle isn't something we can determine, Ray saw the enemy armies, they had different kinds of infected beasts, some even he had never seen" Jack spoke.

"But still I don't think all the knights would be killed, almost all the elite knights are in the academy, we have a winning chance," Gabriel said.

"I hope he's alright," Lily said.

[Quest completed]

[Defeat Flame salamander]

[Reward: Fire Affinity]

"Huh!! what's wrong, why am I in control" Ray spoke.

"I'm tired give me some time to rest" Kaan shouted back.

Ray was currently standing on top of the head of the flame salamander with a spear buried deep in the skull of the beast. Kaan was no longer in control as he need time to rest.

Ray looked at his body and chuckled softly, half of his shirt was gone and some part of his body was slightly burnt, his clothes were burnt when Kaan was fighting with the salamander.

Ray jumped down from the salamander as the body of the beast disintegrated, after that he carefully picked up the shiny red crystal on the ground, the flame salamander was a high-level beast so absorbing its crystal would give Ray a boost.

Immediately Ray placed the crystal in his [Void]

'Fire affinity, now I can learn fire spells again, but first, we need to find a way out' Ray mumbled under his breath.

'Try to teleport now, see if it works' Kaan said.

Ray's second spear was still on the battlefield, Ray took a deep breath and the next instant he was back on the battlefield and three figures were quite close to him.

'It worked, that means the flame salamander was the barrier blocking your powers'

'The enemy is really clever, if you tried to fight it you would be killed and if you don't you would remain there forever'

'Luckily I have a powerful demon I can rely on' Ray chuckled as he moved forward.

'Wait... that's Ian, with two other people, they must be part of Draco's team, going there would mean your death'

'Then what am I supposed to do, I can't just stand here while they kill all the knights in their path, I don't even know if Authur is alright, Draco is most likely in the city searching for the second scroll and I can't even defeat these guys'

'You have the high-level crystal, attack them and see what powers the other two have then we'll switch places and I'll absorb the crystal' Kaan spoke.

'You are really good at planning, but using me as a test subject isn't fun, what if one of them has a power that could knock me unconscious' Ray asked.

'Then I'll just take over and kill them'

'Okay then it's a plan' Ray took a deep breath as he dashed towards the three of them walking towards the city.
