Once Ray had heard Harry's words it brought back a memory for him. Why would Delbert send people to the tunnels that weren't a part of the Dark guild or Pure blood? Then the image of the people tied up to the tables came to his mind. Delbert must have been in charge of choosing who to send down there. He couldn't send knights because people would notice, so instead, he chose to send his servants.

"Your right!

" Harry said now on his knees,

"But even then, I chose to ignore what was happening to them, until the arena. When everyone was being slaughtered and attacked by the Dark Guild my father ran away before anyone else. Of course, he knew the attack was going to happen but did he tell me about it? No. Did he come back to try to save me or Sebastian? No. That day I decided that man is no father of mine. His son died in that arena and never came back.

"

Ray then walked over to Harry who was kneeling on the floor and offered out his hand.

"Humans are untrustworthy and it's time to get used to it but your part of the Red wings now which means your part of my family.

"

Harry looked up at Ray's hand, he couldn't believe this was the same person who he had beaten so easily only a year and a half ago. What had made him change so much? but that wasn't right either, no, Ray had always been like this Harry thought.

Harry then took Ray's hand and the group continued to go up the stairs. They had met no trouble so far as Slyvia and Von were with the group. until they had reached the 3rd from the top floor just underneath the Master knights' floor.

Standing by the stairs where two nights with white sashes.

"Stop right there,

" The white sash knight said,

"No one is allowed to go up these stairs.

"

Slyvia then stood in front of Ray who had been taking the lead so far.

"Do you not recognize who I am, I am an official Elder of the council and by my side is Von the Ex elder.

"

The two knights looked at each other before giving a reply.

"I'm sorry young miss but we have strict orders to not allow anyone up here including you two.

"

"This is ridiculous, who gave you such orders.

"

"I'm sorry mam but we cannot say…

"

Before the two knights could finish saying their sentence, Ray held both of them up by their neck in the air using his two hands.

"We don't have time for this!

" Ray shouted.

"Ray you can't their knights of Avrion, there on our side!

" Slyvia cried.

"They're not my knights!

"

"Now tell us who gave you those orders?

"

Suddenly as if the two were stuck in a trance they answered immediately in a monotone voice.

"Our orders were given to us by the Master knights Delbert and Rose.

"

Ray then chucked the two away from the staircase and into the hall.

"Can't you see something is already going on up there, they're trying to slow us down.

"

The two knights had immediately snapped out of their trance and stood straight up. They saw the group heading for the staircase and were determined to stop them. However, before they could even take a step Jack had blocked their path.

"I'm sorry but it's the boss's orders.

" With a giant swing of his greatsword, Jack managed to land a hit on the two knights and knocked them further back down the hallway. The two knights had completely passed out.

Jack then quickly left the scene and continued to follow the group up. When the group had arrived at the top of the stairs there were several knights standing guard on the floor.

"What are they all doing here?

" Slyvia asked.

"This is strange indeed,

" Von replied

The knights as soon as they saw the others enter from the staircase, all turned in their direction.

"Halt! no one is allowed on this floor at the moment, you must leave immediately.

"

Slyvia then stood Infront once again.

"I am an Elder of Avrion, there is no place that I do not have access to

"

"I'm sorry but we can't ….

"

Suddenly, a fist came flying towards the knight's face and sent the knight flying back into the wall.

"If it didn't work the first time what made you think it would work the second time.

" Ray said,

"they only understand one thing.

"

Ray then placed his arms forward towards the knights and started to cast an Iceball out of one hand and a Fireball out of the next. The knights on guard weren't too strong so most of them were defeated in one blow.

"What the, you can use magic?

" Harry said surprised.

Jack and Harry quickly followed Ray's lead defeating the remaining knights that Ray hadn't dealt with. Slyvia looked in horror at the scene. It wasn't like before where it was the Dark guild against Avrion or when they were fighting off assassins but these were their own people.

Von stayed by Slyvia's side and could see the pain she had in her heart.

"Look closely Slyvia, sometimes a leader must sacrifice a few to save the many.

"

Ray would have loved to use mana steal on all the passed-out knights right now but he didn't have time. His dragon eyes had shown him that something was happening in the Master knights meeting room.

"Follow me, come quickly!

" Ray said as he ran towards the meeting room.

He couldn't tell clearly what was happening apart from the fact that there were three auras inside the room and one of them was weakening by the second.

The group saw the door ahead and Ray without hesitation slammed through the door causing it to break apart. When they had entered the room, they could see Delbert standing above Bernardo's body with a bloody sword in his hand.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!

" Harry shouted.
