My Dragon System

Chapter 364 - Trouble outside

In an instant, Ray was standing right beside Bob. He was sure that the two of them were walking together, the length of their strides equal, and were ready to head into the auction house. Still, even though he was right next to him, he didn't even know when Ray had moved to head over to the other side.

Right now, he had the yellow guard's sword held in his hand.

'What on earth are you doing?!' Bob screamed inside his head, clearly perturbed of the situation. "I know you're strong, but this is a whole army! You can't go up against an army, especially not against these guys!'

Bob had seen a few angry customers confront the guards before. The city, particularly the action house, was frequently visited by many tourists, and those included guild members. Some of these guilds were quite strong. Hence, they ceaselessly seek for a force that would be able to rival their prowess at the same time. Despite that fact, the yellow knights were more than strong, so he had never seen them be overpowered by any guild.

'Damn it! Who is this guy? I can't move my sword.' The yellow knight said as he struggled afore his enemy.

"Oh, I guess you are quite strong. I guess you really are on the same level as the black knights, aren't you." Ray said, forcing all of his ki into his fist to conjure an explosive mana. He then tried to snap the sword, but to his surprise, it hadn't broken.

As of the moment, as long as it was at the intermediate level or below, Ray was sure he would be able to break a weapon. Withal, it looked like it was at least an advanced level weapon - One that was in the same level as the equipment that he was using.

Of course, scrutinizing the weapon, it seemed pretty generic looking. Thus, it wouldn't have any special attributes and would most likely be weaker than Ray's Raven blade.

The knight, unable to move his hand, went ahead and tried to kick Ray to put some distance in between them. Seeing this action, Ray matched him.

The second that their feet collided, the extreme force pushed the man back, causing him to let go of his weapon.

"You will not harm them in front of me again,"?Ray said.

The guards were cautious, yet didn't appear worried or frightened of Ray's strength. They still stood there casually as they watched Ray.

"Are you okay?" Ray asked the girl as he went to offer his hand to assist her in standing. When she took his hand, Ray started to use Mana share and infused some Ki into her. The strength started to return to her body and she was finally able to stand up.

That's when Ray noticed the strange marking on her neck. The instant that he looked at it, another message had appeared.

[User is already contracted]

[You are able to break the contract. Would you like to break the contract?]

It seemed like the marking was similar to the magic that Ray used when offering the contracts to the Redwing members.

'Is this why they have to follow their orders? It makes sense why they aren't fighting back and how they would listen to their new owners unconditionally as well.' Ray contemplated regarding the matter as enlightenment came to him.

Not wanting to disturb anything, for now, Ray decided to free the lady.

"Looks like this is your first time here, boy!" The head guard, standing in front of the slaves, hollered. "Every year, there seems to be an idiot like you, shouting justice and asking justice for these people. Let me tell you something - These people aren't good people. It's why they were being sold off in the first place."

The guard then pointed at the slaves, mockery was evident in his tone as he spoke once more.

"Many of them are prisoners, murderers, or people who have betrayed their own kind, so there is no need to feel bad for them. We are just giving their existences a chance to be of use in this world rather than sentencing them to death - A favour.

"And who are you to decide that?" Ray replied. "Are you a god? No, just a weak man."

All of a sudden, anger was plastered on the man's face. However, just before the two were about to have a confrontation, a loud clang resounded in the area.

Looking behind them, they could see a strange man in a brown cloak landing just on top of the metallic box.

"Free my brother and sisters now!" He shouted as he jumped down. Once he landed, he began to dash, going straight for the guards.

The cloaked man was fast and managed to run past the other guards in an instant - His first target was the head guard.

"You again! How many times are you going to try this?!" The head guard then pulled out his halberd that was mounted on his back and proceeded to swing it towards the cloaked man.

Bob, while watching the whole thing, thought everything would be over. Right now, the cloaked man had no weapons on him, but as his fist knocked into the halberd, a clanging sound was heard and an invisible force knocked the two away from each other.

The heard guard continued to attack all the while the cloaked man continued to block with his crossed hands. The two of them were going at it with amazing speed, that it even made Ray deliberate that he should reevaluate the skills of the yellow knights.

Based on the head knight's skill, they were stronger than the black knights. Still, even simply watching the altercation, he knew that the cloaked man was strong too, managing to match up to head knight. However, there was one problem. There was only one of him that would be facing a company of knights.

While in the middle of the fight, some of the mages had prepared spells. One fireball and one wind slice were catapulted towards the cloaked man. At that moment, the head knight stopped attacking.

Still, the cloaked man was quick on his feet and avoided both blows. Although, he couldn't avoid the next attack, which was a hit from a sword. He screamed in pain, yet skillfully continued to fight.

"Why?! Why can't I just get my family back?!" He shouted and started to roar in rage. As the fight continued, he persisted on getting slashed. Ray was surprised how long he continued to fight on for his life, but he knew that it was useless. Furthermore, based on the cloaked man's behaviour, it gave the impression that he realized the actuality of his situation too.

He attempted to make an escape, yet a couple of guards chased him. Though, the head knight didn't seem too bothered by it at all. It also seemed like his confrontation with Ray was forgotten as he ordered the rest of his men to carry on moving forward to the auction house.

"Now, that was interesting," Ray said as he glanced in the direction of the cloaked man.

When Ray had seen Jack's father, he initially thought that it might have been a wasted trip. He could tell straight away that Jack was different from his father. His dragon eyes told him that his aura was the normal yellow colour that humans obtained, merely meaning that he wasn't a beast.

Nevertheless, just now with the cloaked man, Ray could tell he was different. Similar to Jack, while mostly yellow on the outside, his core was red on the inside. Foremost, it was covered and Ray was unable to see it. Still and all, as the fight went on and the yellow aura started to disappear, Ray slowly unveiled the red hue of the cloaked man's aura.

For now, he would continue to the auction house, but he had a feeling that he could tell what was in that metallic Box.
