Chapter 486: Battle In the fog
Swooping down, the black shadowy dragon was moving at such a speed and with the night sky out, it is hard to see or follow what it was doing. However, cries and screams from both the Dark guild members and the Red wing\'s were heard as the dragon could be seen swooping in the air again, attacking its victims.
Then, repeating this process it swooped down at the men below, this time aiming for those closest to the gates. As it went past, out from it\'s scales strange small barbed wires came shooting out made from shadows that would pierce the soldiers.
It had ripped through whatever armour they were wearing and when the stinger had touched their skin, their bodies started to go limp, no longer moving.
"It seems to be a type of poison." Bliss said, noting a strange foam appearing in their mouths.
Hovering slightly off from the ground, bodies could be seen attached to the stingers that came from the sides of its body.
Seeing such a terrifying beast and not knowing whose side it was on. The Dark guild members started to fiee. They headed back through the gates towards the castle. Those that were on the walls had to try to climb down with ropes and ladders, while others jumped off for fear the dragon would take them before they reached the bottom.
As for the Shadow beasts, they seemed to be the only ones that were taking advantage of the whole mess. They only had one goal and that was the Redwing army. They climbed, jumped and stormed right through their own men not letting anything slow them down.
"Everyone, ready your weapons! Focus on the enemy in front of us!" Sir K shouted.
"We will have to try to do something about that Dragon." Lenny said, to Van, who was shaking riddled with fear. The crystal held in his hand tight.
"No time for holding back!" Jack said, transforming and running in head first as a werewolf.

Out from the fog, Ray could see Morfran the Dark guild leader standing there in silence. He hadn\'t said a word as if he was waiting for Ray to make the first move or to say something.
It had been a long time since they met face to face, the last two times, one being in the arena, and another underground in the tunnels beneath Avrion. A man who had the power of lightning, one of the most powerful abilities for mages to have.
Although back then Ray was able to do something against him, with the improvements he made now, he wondered if he even needed to be cautious of this man any longer.
"I can\'t say I\'m surprised that you ended up down here." Morfran finally said. "Ever since the day when you kids ruined my plans, I knew for some reason it wasn\'t normal. That something or someone was behind it. I can see it now, you\'re the same person who stopped me at the arena that time. No I can feel it, you know why.
"Because down here, in the shadow\'s domain I am being surged with extra power, more than before. So if you had any ideas of comparing me to what I was once before. I am nothing like before when I am in here."
"Who even are you?" Ray said. "You are not the one I want. You are less than a pebble. There are people waiting for me up there."
"You think I\'m lying!" Morfran shouted in anger. "I can tell, you can feel the power while we are in the realm. Just surrender and work under us."
"All this time, you have been following the Shadows orders. Does the shadow really want me over to their side that bad?" Ray said.
For a second Morfran paused, as if Ray had figured something out. Had the future changed because of Ray. Had Bliss actually succeeded in changing the future and the Shadow knew this. Maybe that was why they were trying so hard to get him to come over to their side rather than just outright kill him.
Not wanting to waste anymore time with this nobody. Ray started to move, but the second he did a lightning bolt was shot out only a few inches by his foot.
Ray quickly swirled around, and fired his own lighting power, and Morfran had done the same. As they both collided not one was stronger than the other.
"But how, my powers should be stronger here." Morfran said shocked.
"I don\'t have much points in lighting so the attacks are weak but you will change that for me."
Morfran tried to move, he tried to turn into lightning to get away. It was something he always relied upon. The ability to move at the speed of a lightning bolt but when he looked down, he realised his feet were completely frozen.
He zapped his own feet with his lighting hoping to break the ice and although chunks had fallen off, the ice was just reforming, and Ray made his way slowly towards Morfran.
Now, his whole body was shaking as he saw the person coming towards him.
"I\'m still weak." Ray said. "But you\'re just weaker." Placing his hand on his head, the skill mana eater was activated and the rare lightning attribute points were being added to himself.
"ARGHHH!" He screamed in pain.
[+50 points in lighting attribute]
With one person alone, his lighting now had become his second biggest attribute which just went to show how strong Morfran\'s lighting abilities truly were.
The energy felt like it was being drained out of him, and as a last ditch effort, he held both his hands together, and a large strange circle was being made between Ray\'s chest and Morfran\'s two hands.
"Goodbye!" Morfran said, and the blow blasted him away from Ray. It had hit his chest and sent Morfran back flying through the fog. Eventually, the lightning stopped and there was a mark on Ray\'s bare body.
The attack had gone through the armour and his skin looked a little raw and red, but he himself was fine. He touched his skin slightly, and felt a slight tingle but it was nothing to worry about.
It was useless to see if Morfran was to return as his dragon eyes wouldn\'t let him see through the fog. Judging by the fact that he hadn\'t returned by now, he was either too weak to do anything, or he knew better to go against Ray with his current strength.
Going through the shadows, strange noises were heard. They sounded like those he knew. People form the academy and even Amy\'s voice was heard. But he knew that they had to be all illusions from the fog. There was no way they would be here.
Eventually, the sounds whispers and voices turned to visions. He could see his parents from when he was younger. He saw images of the times he had spent with Amy.
"Please Ray, why did you let me die."
"You can\'t save anyone."
The happy images soon turned dark, as he could see some of them melt or burn away. Powering through them he was wondering if he was going the right way.
Then the visions started to lessen, and when they did he found himself back at the podium where the dragon was first summoned.
He attempted to travel through the fog again and the voices turned into visions and that\'s when he realised something. When heading in a certain direction the visions got worse. Naturally Ray\'s mind was leading him to move in the way where he would avoid the visions and sounds.
But that wasn\'t it, the more visions Ray was experiencing, the closer he was to getting out of here.
He carried on powering through, ignoring every single one of them.
"I have seen far more deaths then this in the real world. I know that if I don\'t do something, then there will just be more death and pain like this, and I won\'t be the only ones that have to deal with them."
Eventually Ray had hit a solid wall. It was the wall of the pit itself. He looked up and the fog seemed to still be blocking most of his view.
"How long will it take me to get up there?"
He was unsure, but he remembered the fall with Gary was a long one Still with no wings of his own he only had one choice. To climb the side of the pit with his bare hands.
Grabbing onto the rock, and pulling himself upward, he started to scale the wall, but it wasn\'t slow, he was in a rush.
"Don\'t die, or I\'ll kill you myself!" Ray shouted, at the top of his lungs hoping the others outside would hear.
