Beast Evolution

"Kaan, thank you" Ray shouted as his eyes widen, he could even fathom what happened, all he knew was that Ian was in his front and then in an instant, he was with his spear.

'I still have little control over my power, when you meet that lady mage, tell her to undo the seal, I'm not going to take over your body anymore... I'm starting to like it here'

'Now is now the time...what do we do about that guy' Ray said looking at Ian.

Ian was staring at Ray in surprise, he was sure he used his full power just now but Ray was able to evade his attack when using his full strength, Ian was beyond pissed.

'You'll need more speed and power, but using the blood rage again would drain the energy you have left and after this battle you wouldn't be able to fight, unless you have a beast crystal so you can absorb energy from it' Kaan explained.

'I have no choice, I can't defeat him with the strength I have now even in my beast form' Ray said.

Immediately James and Alfred showed up and attacked Ian, both of their swords hit Ian on his back but the Ki he was releasing blocked both of the attacks.

"Infuse more Ki..." Alfred shouted and both of them stepped back.

Ian didn't pay any attention to them as he dashed towards Ray again, Ray threw his spear immediately and Ian used his axe to knock the spear away.

"You bastard..." Ian shouted as he swung his axe at Ray's head to behead him.

Once again Ray shocked him by teleporting just before his axe made contact, Ian turned around immediately and saw Ray behind him with his spear in his hand.

"Hey...can you defeat him?" a voice asked, Alfred and James were now standing alongside Ray as they faced Ian, Ian was angry so he continued to release more Ki from all parts of his body.

A regular human wouldn't be able to harness the amount of Ki Ian was releasing, but with his strange body and his infected axe, he was able to surpass the limit.

"I just need to separate him from the axe, then I can defeat him, the axe is the same as a high-level infected beast," Ray said.

"So do you have a plan?" James asked.

"I don't have a plan and he's increasing his power so his next attack would probably be the last for whoever it hits," Ray said.

"He totally ignored us when we attacked him so he's definitely going to attack you," Alfred said.

'Okay Kaan, we really need a plan here, you barely got me out of his last attack I don't think we can dodge this one'

'I'm out of options, if that lady mage was here she would have undo the seal and I would be able to use my full power'

'She's not around so we have to think of something else, we still have Draco to deal with, if we can't defeat him then we stand no chance' Ray said.

'Then attack him head-on, use your techniques, skills, and training, also magic, we'll use the dark cloak to protect your body against attacks'

'That's a good idea, but would the dark cloak be able to withstand an attack from that axe?'

'It depends on the Mana you infused in the spell, you have to keep Infusing Mana while using Ki to fight him with your spear' Kaan said.

"Okay... that's worth a shot," Ray said out loud.

Alfred and James were wondering why Ray wasn't speaking but suddenly he spoke like he had been discussing with someone all this while.

"Okay, Kaan let's do this" Ray mumbled and a dark cloak covered his entire body leaving only his face open.

"Do you have a plan?" Alfred asked as he saw the cloak covering Ray's body.

"No, I'm just going to attack recklessly hoping I don't die, and I have to do that with just one of my spears, that's a bummer but I have no choice" Ray smiled as he took a battle stance.

He wasn't exactly thrilled that he was going to be fighting a human stronger than a high-level beast but he wasn't going to lose either.

"It seems you also have a trick up your sleeve, you should just lay down and accept your punishment, how dare you kill Vincent" Ian gritted his teeth.

"You guys attacked Avalon, killed innocent humans, and then you complain when one of your comrades die, we should share the pain" Ray spoke with a smug smile plastered over his face.

"You... I've changed my mind, I was going to kill you in one shot but now I'm going to make you suffer then I'll kill all the rest of the knights in this city" Ian spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Are you sure you can?" Ray said as he increased his Mana output.

"I accept your challenge..." Ian took a step forward, and immediately Ray dashed toward him, Ray did want to be on the defensive so he chose to attack first.

Ray held his spear at the end as he swung it at Ian, he wanted to attack while keeping a certain distance from Ian.

Ian placed his axe in front of his body and deflected the attack, in terms of raw strength Ray didn't hold a candle to Ian but he had no choice but to attack if he has any chance of survival.

Ray attacked Ian relentlessly while Ian blocked all of Ray's attacks with his axe, usually Ian would use his body to block an attack without thinking twice but he was now careful, even though he was more powerful than Ray he couldn't afford to lose this fight.

After all, he was avenging his friend's death, if Vaan was here he would have destroyed the whole place with his wind so he had to do the same by bringing the dead body of Ray to calm the heart of Vaan.
