Reincarnated Into A Human? Chapter 125 - Mage Or Knight?

Wilfred and the other master Knights, along with elders had finally finished their meeting. They had decided in the end that it was too risky to send any reinforcements to the arena. Despite the amount of protest, Wilfred had made.

All the citizens were currently taking shelter at the academy while most of the knights had also made it back.

The people had been told to gather up in the dining hall, where they would be provided food while most of the knights stood on guard outside or on rooftops, to see if any dark guild members were heading their way.

While Wilfred was making his way to the dining hall to check up on the citizens, a squad leader had come running up towards him.

"Sir we have a problem?" The man said with a horrified look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"It's our knights, there have been reports that several knights in the academy have been knocked out."

Wilfred thought that a member of the Dark guild had managed to sneak in or there was a traitor among them it was a serious problem if that was the case.

"What's the damage?"

"There have been around 50 knights that have been reported but that's not all sir. A few of them are starting to wake up but there not able to use any of their Ki."

Wilfred felt a shiver down his spine. The incident reminded him of what Ray had done in the arena but surely there was a limit to his ability. Did he really absorb the Ki from 50 different knights?

"Did any of them receive any damage."

"No sir, they were knocked out clean but there were no visible wounds."

This had only confirmed Wilfred thoughts, it had to be Ray. Wilfred didn't know how to feel about Ray's actions. Then Wilfred thought back to the prophecy and the elder meeting he had just had. It was too late to stop Ray now; he had grown too powerful. It was now up to Ray weather he would destroy the humans or save them.

Ray currently had 120 points in total in his mana pool. He was using around 100 of it to supplement his Ki to make it stronger, while leaving the remaining twenty for the transformation. Currently, Ray was the strongest he had ever been.

Even Ray was surprised by how powerful his attacks had Just been.

Morfran was furious, this was the first time in his life that someone had just punched away his thunderbolt skill like that. Morfran then proceeded to put both of his hands together. He cast another thunderbolt attack at Ray, only this one was twice as strong and twice as fast.

Ray could tell this attack was too powerful for him to hit back like last time, instead, he used his shadow skills to avoid the thunder strike. With Ray's dragon eyes skill, he could see when Morfran was going to attack.

The direction of mana was easier to see then Ki, so Ray was able to move and predict where his attack was going to be before Morfran was able to cast his spell. Although the spell when cast was almost instant, the use of mana wasn't.

Morfran started to fire thunderbolt after thunderbolt and Ray would continue to dodge them all.

"How does he know the black sash footwork?" Sir K said.

The footwork that Ray was currently displaying was almost identical to the same footwork that Sir K used in his battles. It was something that Sir K had learnt himself after years and years of dedicated training.

Sir K had never seen this man before today, yet without a doubt, he was using the same footwork.

Kyle too had noticed the same thing.

"Is he a student of yours Sir?"

"I'm not sure."

Sir K had taught many students over the years so this person could have been one of his students from a long time ago but Sir K was sure he would never have forgotten the face of someone as skilful as this.

Morfran could see that Ray was getting closer and closer to him with each strike. Although the Dual Handed thunderbolt was stronger, it took a little longer to cast compared to the single-handed thunderbolt.

Morfran then changed tactic and decided to continually fire thunderbolts with each hand at Ray.

Ray was able to punch and knock some away like the first time, but there was far too many and Ray ended up getting hit a few times. Each time a thunder strike would hit him, Ray would get knocked back a few feet.

The attacks weren't fatal to Ray but they caused a fair amount of damage. If Ray didn't do something he would be slowly worn down.

Ray then punched the arena floor to get a big chunk of the ground to raise up. Ray's plan was to use it as a shield.

"Do you really think a bit of rock can stop my attacks."

Ray then Grabbed the large rock with one of his gauntlets.

"Ice attribute."

Ray had not only stolen the mana form the knights at the academy but also any elemental equipment they had; he also took. If the knights weren't going to use it to fight, then he would.

The solid rock in front of him started to freeze over and now in front of Ray was a solid wall of Ice.

"He's a mage!" Mathew shouted.

Mathew couldn't believe it, learning to master Mana alone took years and clearly this man also had the skills to fight like a knight. The man in front of him looked young. It was impossible for someone his age to be able to master both Mathew thought.

"Endless Void," Ray said.

Ray then pulled out the spear he had obtained from Killer. He knew the shield wouldn't be strong enough to hold Morfran back but all he needed was a few seconds to get his weapon.

Morfran cast his dual thunderbolt skill which broke the ice rock in one hit. As soon as he saw Ray on the other side, he switched back to his single-handed thunderbolts.

This time instead of hitting the attacks with his bare hand, Ray knocked them back with his spear. The thunderbolt strikes that were all aimed at Ray, were suddenly heading back for Morfran.
