Beast Evolution

"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.

"I thought we came for something, why does master need to destroy the academy, we can do that another time" Vincent yawned weakly.

"Are you tired? how many portals did you open in total?"

"I'm tired and hungry, my Mana is already depleted so I'll need to rest before I can take us back home," Vincent said.

"Why did we come if we are not attacking, I'm bored, Vincent take me back home," Ian said.

"If I can I would have gone home myself, I'm tired so I can't open any more portals"

"What is master doing, he has been sitting down there for almost an hour now, why aren't we attacking" Ian looked at them.

"Why don't you ask him yourself" Vaan spoke.

"I'll pass..." Ian said and walked away.

Their human army which consisted of swordsmen and mages were currently sitting leisurely on the ground, they had been standing for a while so they were all tired, and besides, there is no way they can be attacked.

Draco's eyes were closed, he was currently sitting down mumbling to himself, or that's what others thought but a piece of black crystal was in his hands glowing dimly.

'We can still attack them and win' Draco said inwardly.

'I know you can win, I said you should find him and kill him'

The black glowing crystal spoke directly to Draco's mind, this was not the first time it was happening.

'How strong is he?' Draco asked.

'He's the second strongest demon, second only to me, if you attack him with your current strength you would fail but I can lend you my powers, but the beasts wouldn't be under your control anymore'

'We should send the beasts to attack first then we'll go for the demon later'

'Okay... obtain the scroll by all means, even if you have to burn the city to the ground to obtain it'

'Yes master, we'll obtain the second scroll and welcome you once again' Draco said with a smile.

Draco wasn't wearing any battle equipment but the rest of them wore equipment except for Ian of course, Draco wore ordinary clothes and covered himself with a black robe, he slid the black crystal into his path and stood up from the ground.

"Prepare to attack..." Draco shouted.

Immediately Ian stood up from the ground with a huge smile on his face, there were two reasons he was happy to attack the academy, the first reason being that his master told him so, and second he had a debt to settle with Authur for last time at the mage academy.

All the human army were already on their feet, ready to charge when given the order.

Draco removed the crystal from his pocket and covered it with both of his hands, the black crystal began to flow brightly, and immediately the beasts began to charge toward the academy.

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

'What's black flames?' Ray asked Kaan.

'How would I know...why don't you ask her, you guys are here talking about strategy when we should be attacking the enemy'

'How would we attack the enemy without a strategy, we are clearly outnumbered'

'Then you jump down and kill a bunch of them then you come back here, no one would know'

'Yeah...like it's that easy to jump into the middle of infected beasts and kill them'

'Aren't you strong enough, the spear is also stronger, even stronger than you, just slashed their heads and it's come off, as simple as...'

'Something is happening, I feel my master energy'

[Dark energy detected]

The system notified Ray and he knew Kaan was right, the dark enemy that the system had been detecting all this while was the energy of a demon.

'It's coming, they are going to attack' Kaan said to Ray.

"I think they are going to attack soon..." Ray announced.

"How did you know they are going to..." ivy stopped immediately as she looked towards the beasts, they had begun to charge toward the academy.

"We're going down, Selena take us down" Authur shouted immediately.

Selena quickly stood up from the ground and dark wings sprouted from her back, the knights quickly grabbed her and she descended.

"Archers ready your bows, infuse as much Ki as you can handle in every shot, target their neck and take their head in one shot" Ivy shouted and the knights shouted back.

*Boom*

Selena landed on the ground in front of all the knights, Ray quickly threw his spear down and teleported towards the spear, the beasts were meters away from them and all the knights were holding steady.

Ray wouldn't lie he was slightly afraid but he didn't want Draco to get his way, if anything the feeling of killing Draco was greater than the fear he was feeling.

"Knights are you ready!!" Authur shouted.

"Yes Sir" the knight that was closer to him replied, the other knights heard and also shouted with them.

"Here" a knight stepped forward and handed the senior knights their swords.

They were already wearing their armor, boots, chest plate, and now swords, the same knights brought a white horse to Authur and Authur collected the horse.

"Hey buddy, I know it's been long we fought a war but I'm counting on you" Authur mumbled as he climbed the horse.

"I'll lead the Calvary unit... knights ready for war" Authur shouted.

"Selena would you do the honor," Authur said and Selena stepped in front of them.

"What is she doing"

"She's a mage, didn't you see how the knights dropped from the sky, maybe she has a powerful spell" the knights in front mumbled to each other.

Selena took a deep breath and gathered her Mana, her eyes were closed as she moved around a little, it was midnight so the ground couldn't be seen but a magic circle was being drawn on the ground.
