Chapter 324 - Time for me to go
"That's the tower, we need to head right there!" Mia pointed.
In total there were four towers inside of Roland, each placed at a corner of the academy. These were large in size and had several floors leading to the top.
The towers matched the theme of the whole academy. A Grand modern design with shiny white colour to it.
The one that Mia pointed at belonged to Betty. She had always kept a close look at the divine crystal.
There were even rumours that when Betty had discovered the divine crystal, it had given her a task. Asking her to create Roland. A place for all mages over the continent. She did as she was told, but it never spoke to her again after.
But knowing that she played a big role in the fight against the shadow was enough for her.
Ray continued to run with Van over his shoulder while Bliss followed closely behind. Although all the students, professors, and tower masters were out on the field. Guards were still stationed around the place, and they needed to be careful.
This whole time Ray still hadn't said a word to Mia, she thought it was a little strange but thought nothing else of it. But then something came into her vision from one of the dolls. She saw the decoy holding up Blake in the middle of the field and not only that, this one was talking.
"No it couldn't be, are you the decoy?" Mia asked.
The clone simply nodded back, as it was unable to say a word.
"Damn it, what is that guy thinking." However, they were too deep into it now. She didn't know how the real Ray was going to see the divine being, but she would just do as she was asked from Lenny and help him out.
***
Back at the field, Ray was now completely surrounded by all four of the tower masters. Of course, Mia was only a doll. She couldn't do much, but she could still move and pretend she was there.
Ray continued to hold up Blake by the neck as he continuously used his mana drain as well as his mana steal. Before Ray was unable to use mana drain for, he had the maximum amount of mana points 200. But ever since he levelled up, he was able to contain 300 points.
The points he had borrowed from Jack for the fight against Wiz, the shadow guard, he had given back to Jack.
The tower masters were cautious. They were unsure of how Ray would react. After all, they didn't know him that well. They were too afraid if they were to go in now, then perhaps Ray would kill Blake on the spot.
After waiting for a while, Ray finally dropped Blake onto the ground.
"You will never be able to use magic again," Ray said.
[Mana steal + 50]
[Mana pool 250]
[Poison attribute 15]
Blake didn't know why but he felt incredibly weak at this moment. It felt like he had just been fighting non-stop for an hour even though he had done nothing. But as he was on the floor, he could see Ray's ankle.
He grabbed onto his ankle, wrapping his fingers around tightly.
"You're done for!" Blake said, ???You hear me, I don't know what you did, but I don't care if I get in trouble, you're dead."
Just then, Blake tried to muster all the strength he could. He was going to muster the strongest poison he knew of inside his body.
But he felt nothing. There was not even a reaction coming from the beast crystal around his neck.
"No, how is this possible, not again." He cried, suddenly he started to have flashbacks of when he was in the shadow continent. As he looked up as the student named Nes. Images of Ray had appeared.
"It's you, it has to be!"
The tower master had no clue what Blake's ramblings were about, and they could only assume the student had done something.
"The match is over," Betty said. "The student known as Nes is declared the winner."
As she went over, she proceeded cautiously as she went towards the student. When she was close enough. Betty cast a spell forming two Bubbles like items around both Blake and Dez. The two were then lifted into the air by the bubbles and slowly came over back to where the judge's table was.
"Nes, we shall talk with you after the assessment is over," Betty said as she headed back to the judge's table, but one of the tower masters had stayed there on the field.
"You can't be serious, Betty," Roy said. "This student here is amazing, I don't know what happened, but he managed to beat Dez and Blake in a fight. Clearly, he is hiding something. And I'm going to find out."
Just then, Roy's ears started to light up. It was hard to see, but he had two small little beast crystals used as earing in his ears. The power inside him started to grow and from his hands. Two fireballs were cast out.
"This guy again," Ray said.
Ray threw out two fireballs of his own equal in size. As the two collided in the middle, small explosions were made.
"What is happening?" Kaito said, "Has Nes gone mad, he's now fighting against a tower master."
"Come on! I didn't realise tower masters were so weak!" Ray shouted.
That seemed to hit a nerve with Roy. Now flames were covering his entire arm from his shoulder down to his fingertips. Slowly the flames started to leave his hand and formed a flame whip.
"Confidence is a good thing to have, but sometimes you need to know when your outmatched," Roy said as he charged forward.
"Roy stop it now!" Betty shouted, but it was too late.
Roy had swung out his flame whip and with his other hand, fired out another fireball.
"I guess it's my time to leave this academy."
[Skill Swap activated]
Just then before the whip and fireball had hit him, he had traded places with his clone. The whip then wrapped around the clone and at the same time, the fireball had engulfed it in flames never to be seen again.
"What have I done?" Roy said as he fell to his knees, thinking he had killed a student.
