My Dragon System
chapter-192

The man was visibly shocked by what he had just seen on the kid's arms, for a few seconds he felt like his whole world was going to crumble. The man's name was Akhim. Akhim was originally part of a bandit group.

The spot they had chosen was the path between this town and Avrion. In the past, the Bandit group was unsuccessful in their work due to the fact that Knights of Avrion regularly patrolled and protected the route but that had changed recently after the constant attacks from the Shadow plague and Dark guild.

Suddenly, the bandit's business was looking good for Akhim and his group once more but that quickly changed after the news of the fall of Avrion.

When everyone had learned that the Knights of Avrion were no more, Bandit groups from all over chose the same path that his Group had been on for years.

With too much competition there wasn't much left for Akhim and his bandit group to pray on. One day they came across a knight from Avrion who had been complaining about the new leaders of Avrion. Akhim got as much information from him as possible and that's when he came up with this brilliant idea.

And that's what led him to the situation he was in right now.

Akhim looked closely at the markings, he had never seen the real marking himself before and that's when he had convinced himself. They too had to be imposters.

"How dare you pretend to be a part of the Red Wings, you three shall pay."

Gary and Jack then drew their weapons ready for a fight but then Ray suddenly stepped forward. It was the first time the two of them had seen Ray do this. Ray stepping forward meant he wanted to fight.

On the journey to the town, Ray would often let Jack and Gary deal with everything so it was strange that Ray decided to fight this one.

Unknown to them, it was because of a simple reason. Ray's blood was at boiling point, he was Angry. These filthy humans were tarnishing the name and all the hard work he had built up so far and worse they claimed to be part of his group.

"Get them!" Akhim shouted.

The first man who ran closest towards Ray swung his sword but Ray simply moved and kicked the man's knee just hard enough to cause it to bend backward. As the man fell to the floor Ray gave an uppercut on his chin.

Another man was ready to strike but Ray grabbed the blade and activated his ice attribute causing the sword to freeze and break. Another person was on Ray's right and Ray simply lifted his hand and shot a fireball out from the palm of his hand.

Using his black sash skills Ray then disappeared from the men's view and the next second he appeared behind two of them knocking them both out with a single punch. Lastly, there was only Akhim left.

"You monster, the rumours were true after all. That knight said there was a kid with red hair who…" Before Akhim could get another word out Ray already had his hands around Akhim's throat.

"Burn in hell!" After activating his fire attribute Akhim quickly became a pile of Ashes.

Everyone was motionless in the room. The people who had been causing them so much pain for the last month were dealt with in an instant but they weren't happy about it. Instead, they stood in fear at the man who had just finished them off so quickly.

Gary was able to read the room and quickly started to make a speech.

"As you can see these men here were imposters of the Red wings, we here are the true members of the Red wings. We came here after hearing of these imposters and decided to deal with them ourselves. From now on we shall protect this town as a sign of friendship between you and the Red wings. We shall do this free of charge of course."

The silence quickly went into chatter as the words Gary had said gave them hope.

"You know you're pretty good at this talking stuff," Jack said

The news of the fake Red wings imposters was quickly spread around town and the atmosphere had changed. Gorden welcomed the new true Red wings with open arms and allowed them to create their Guild Red Wings.

"What should we do with this?" Jack asked holding the metal bucket.

"Give it back to the people. It seems like they have been hurt for a long time." Ray replied.

Ray thought it was best to get on their good side as soon a possible. Once trade opened up again between the town and the city this money would soon become theirs anyway.

Gorden had explained to the three of them that the fake Red wings had been collecting protection money from the residents and adventures every day. They weren't even able to afford to pay for quests anymore and the situation in the town was become worse by the day.

But Ray seemed to remember the Guild hall was meant to have a guard for times like these.

"Wasn't there a guard by the name of Ark here?" Ray asked.

"Oh, I'm surprised you know that name, it is true Ark once protected this town. Unfortunately, Ark had been called back by his guild a while ago. There were talks of a major Guild quest being handed in the city of Kelberg, apparently, a powerful Demon wielding a hammer had appeared although I don't know much else."

"A demon?" Ray asked.

It seemed like the information Ray had received from Slyvia was correct but other guilds already had their eyes on this mysterious man.

there was one thing that Gorden said that bothered Ray though and that was the word Demon. It was a term he had never heard of before.

"People who have been possessed by the spirit of a God."

"like the Divine being?"

"Yes, although not all gods have pure intentions like the Divine being."

Ray asked Gorden a few more questions but there wasn't much information other than that. After Registering the guild, it was time to leave and stay at an Inn for the night. Gorden, of course, told the three that it would be on the house as thanks for saving the city.

As Ray walked out of the Guild hall though, Candy and Tuffy couldn't help but think that Ray reminded them of someone they had met not too long ago.
