My Dragon System
chapter-338

Nighttime had fallen and as one would expect from a top guild, the security didn't relax one bit. The guards stationed in front of the cells would rotate, and it seemed like the people who were stationed around the border, would do the same.

As they would constantly see people coming in and out from the camp. The only person who never seemed to move was the lieutenant. Although it was obvious which tent the lieutenant stayed in since it was placed in the centre of the camp, and was the biggest out of all the ones there.

"Let's go!" Ray said.

The townspeople stood nearby watching the six just wondering what they were going to do and how they would break out of their cuffs and cells. Jack was quite a muscular tall boy so they thought he had used his brute strength but with the rest, they had a hard time imagining them breaking anything.

On Ray's word, every one of them broke off the metal cuffs at the same time. Some of them using magic, while the others used Ki.

The people looked at them in amazement but still didn't know how six people would be able to do this on their own.

"Err guys." Van said. "I'm still stuck a little." While the others broke off their cuffs easily, Van still was an amateur when it came to magic apart from harnessing the power from within.

"Come here," Lenny said as he cast a spell and caused the cuffs to rust and fall to the ground.

Ray then called over both Martha and Jack, and without saying anything ripped off the sleeves on their clothes, revealing the mark of the Redwings.

The crowd behind them gasped.

"it's them, I've never seen them in person."

"Did they come to save us?"

"But how would they have known we were here."

"They look so young they were probably captured."

The old man was again stepped forward and smiled. "Now I know why you were so confident. You have others coming don't you? An army has been called forward."

The crowd started chatting once more and this time were more uplifted.

"Yes, that would make sense."

"Perhaps the Redwings sent their whole army after hearing of the suffering we heard."

Ray didn't reply back but stepped up to the cell bars, he then bent them open using both hands causing a cracking sound.

The two guards who were stood just outside turned their head at the sound but before they could even do anything Ray had grabbed both of their faces and slammed them into the ground.

"No one else is coming, it's just us," Ray replied.

As everyone went through the bars that Ray had bent forward, Jack was the last one to go through them and he bent them back together. "I think it's better if you guys stay here."

They did as told but still couldn't help but pray that the Black Rings would go easy on them once they had been captured. However, once they knew they were part of the Redwings they couldn't imagine there punishment would be light.

After waiting a few moments, suddenly the sounds of screams could be heard throughout the camp. Explosions were happening left and right. Fire balls through the air. Blood splattered into the knight sky and finally what looked like an angel up above in the moonlight.

"These people are not mere mortals, they must have descended from the gods above!" The old man claimed.

Inside the main tent, Lieutenant Adam was busy counting out the coins that they had earned accepting this job. Not only were they getting paid from the Empire but they had also taken taxes from the multiple towers in the surrounding area. They claimed that this was an order form the Alure kingdom for their protection against the Redwings.

Although this was not true, by the time they had left it would be too late for them to do anything. Slowly behind him was a chest filled with coins.

"I'm rich!" Adam shouted, but then the sound of explosions could be heard outside.

One of the guards rushed in. "Sir, we're under attack. "

"Now of all times!" Adam shouted standing in his seat. "How many of them are there and do we know their aim."

The guard gulped before replying. "Sir you're not going to believe this, but they seem to be from the Redwings, they were the captive form earlier and right now there are only six of them."

Hearing this news, Adam sat back down in the seat. "Only six, and you rushed in to just tell me that. Come back to me once you have captured the fools."

"But sir..." Just then a foot was felt on the guard's back. As he was kicked forward he fell to the floor directly in front of Adam.

The person who walked in was Ray.

"How dare you walk into my office, do you know who we are, we're the Black…" Before Adam could finish his sentence, an ice spear was formed and Ray chucked it directly into his shoulder causing him to scream in pain.

Shortly after the rest followed and had gathered inside the tent.

"We did as you asked Ray." Martha said. "All of the remaining members who were still alive have been but into the cells and have been boarded onto a carriage.

"Where is everyone!" Adam shouted. "Guards come help."

Ray stepped forward and in response, Adam pulled out his sword. Right now Ray had no equipment on as it had all been taken away and was placed just by Adam's side with everything else.

Seeing this Adam pulled out his sword. It was bright silver in colour and on the bottom by the hilt, purple feathers could seen.

It was clear that Adam was the type of person who had obtained his position not through their own power but through scheming and wit.

"Well, well would you look at this," Bliss said looking at the chest full of coins. "It looks like the empire paid you a hefty sum after all."

Just then Martha had also picked up a piece of paper detailing the reports of what the other members had done. "I don't think all of that came from the empire. Look at this!"

At this moment Adam was visibly shaking as he held the sword in his hand. Ray stepped forward and grabbed the sword with his bare hands. Adam tried his best to move it but nothing would happen but then blood started to drip down onto the blade.

"Oh I'm surprised, looks like you really do have a nice sword to be able to injure my skin like this."

However, what the others were seeing didn't go unnoticed and even Adam's eyes were alit with fear as he saw the blood. The colour of the blood wasn't red, but instead, it was black, the same colour of a beast.
