Chapter 281 Clearing All The Hallways
"Wishhh…Slashhhh," The sword in Ray's hand flashed. Cutting through the flesh of one troll after another. It was bathed in blood. The outer edges of the sword had turned crimson as they continuously absorbed the troll blood.
This was an added property of Void Stones as they absorbed very minute amounts of blood and it's essence from the opponent.
Ray held the sword tightly and looked at the incoming trolls up ahead. He has cleared all the remaining hallways and all that was left to clear was the ground ahead.
There were two grounds in total, one in front of him. Which was a smaller ground and the other after it. Between both grounds was a small hallway that connected itself to other areas and classes.
Ray looked at the ground ahead and found various trolls rampaging around like zombies. Their eyes were dull and they all flocked towards Ray and the whole team of people.
Ray grinned slightly, the effects of his Title 'Berserker' were coming into being as Ray was killing more and more trolls without any break.
A shadow flashed and appeared besides Ray. It morphed into the form of a wolf as Sirius appeared from the shadow. He looked sideways and nodded at Ray.
Ray nodded back and asked, "How's the left over trolls?"
"Cleared them all and blocked all the other routes. Now, no one would interfere. Though, I could sense some humans coming in contact with us on the other hallway," Sirius spoke. He was wary of most people and therefore kept his senses sharp.
When he was closing the other routes, he sensed a very dark human presence and estimated some humans to be closing in. He let them be that time and closed the area but thinking of this now, he realized that a presence that dark wasn't something normal. There had to be a problem with the incoming group.
"No worries. We will see them when they come. Let's focus on the ground in front of us," Ray spoke and plunged the sword into the ground.
"Also, I heard you got a new weapon?" Ray asked out of nowhere.
"Hehe…" Sirius scratched his head and raised his hand. A shadow formed around it as a spear came out of the shadow. The spear was dark and had rust covering it's external surface.
A dark and eerie aura was constantly being released from it as Ray felt Sirius's essence flowing in the spear. Not just that, but Ray also felt another primal essence of the same grade as his bloodline flowing into it.
"Nice spear," He praised and touched the surface of the spear.
As he did, he felt a small spark. Hurriedly backing his hand, he looked and saw the spear reacting to his touch.
"Strange," Ray muttered but still kept the up the appearances. Even if he was in shock, the spear was Sirius's and this was not the time for examining it.
"You want to take the charge?" Ray asked Sirius.
"You sure?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, I am sure. I will take a few minutes and relax a bit. I will jump in then," Ray answered.
"Okay, as you say," Sirius replied. He held the spear straight and banged it onto the ground. As he did, shadows spread out of it as the phantom of a wolf formed behind him.
Ray turned and looked at the phantom as he saw the phantom looking back at him. The phantom nodded to him and then looked into his eyes. It winked and then turned around.
"Huh?" Ray was shocked and felt strange. He knew that the phantom appeared due to Sirius's bloodline but the shocking thing was its reaction to Ray.
Ray shook his head and looked again as he saw the phantom merging with Sirius's body. It formed into a shadow and covered Sirius wholly as it then formed an outer armor.
Sirius's body was now covered in a dark armor that was not only sturdy but had impeccable elasticity to not hinder any of his movements.
The armor had bones sticking out in various places as they also extended out of Sirius's claws. The bones were dark and gave off a dark aura. As if the presence of darkness ran through them.
A low cut mask covered Sirius's mouth as two huge fangs extended out of it. Along with his dark red eyes, Sirius looked menacing.
"Man, I gotta get some aesthetics checked up. He looks so cool," Ray said in amazement as right now, Sirius looked like death itself.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ Sirius raised his hands and manipulated the shadows around him. The shadows condensed around his spear as they covered him as well. He tapped the ground as the shadows spread out and he teleported through the shadows.
"Nice movement skill. Guess I need to get some changes done," Ray thought and then turned to his consciousness.
He was at peace with Sirius taking the charge as everyone followed behind him. Ray, on the other hand activated his barrier and indulged deep into his consciousness without any worry.
Arriving there, he saw Mag'ladroth and FengFeng standing right in front of him. Both had their arms crossed and their feet tapping in a demanding manner.
"What happened? Why did you both call me here?" Asked Ray.
"Well, something did happen. Or else we wouldn't have disturbed you," Mag'ladroth replied. He walked back and forth as he kept on struggling with something. After some struggle, he finally came to his decision.
He walked up to Ray and summoned four chairs. Motioning Ray to sit down, he and FengFeng also took a seat while Aurora popped out of nowhere and sat down as well. She had a bag of popcorn in her hand as she enjoyed the whole event.
"What did you feel when you touched the spear?" Asked FengFeng.
"Uhmmm…. I felt a small shock. Like the one you feel during winters when under a blanket," Ray replied albeit the shock.
"hmmm…" FengFeng crossed her alluring legs as she tapped her chin in thought.
"Well, I gotta ask. Did you feel anything else from the spear?" Asked Mag'ladroth.
"Nope, nothing else. Though, that phantom behind Sirius winked me. I dunno if it's just me but I think he really did," Ray replied honestly. He knew that this was a complicated matter and with Mag'ladroth and FengFeng acting in such a way, he was sure that it was very important too.
"Okay," Mag'ladroth nodded and turned as he looked at FengFeng.
"What do you think?" He asked her.
"Well, it is his spear for sure. As for the phantom, it might be the ancestor of wolves, "Fenrir" but I don't understand that why did he choose someone with the shadow element?" FengFeng spoke.
"Well, I think I know why," Mag'ladroth replied, "You see, Fenrir was always a dark beast and even now, he provides strength to that kid with the shadow element because that kid doesn't only possess the shadow but the darkness element as well. It's just entwined with the shadow,"
"Hey you both. I am the host here. I gotta get some info too. Also, what's with this talk about myths and legends?" Ray shouted in anger. He felt bad for being cut out like this when they just called him here in the middle of a fight. It seemed as if they just needed him for questioning.
"Well we were getting to it. So don't worry. At least let us sort our own thoughts first," Said Mag'ladroth.
"Well, he does have a right to hear it all. After all, he will be the one fighting on front lines," Said FengFeng with her sweet voice. Her voice plucked the strings of Ray's heart as he felt warm within.
However, he came into his senses and shook his head to get him out of that allure, "Just what is she? The Phoenix Of Time or some enchantress?" He thought to himself in slight fear.
"Okay then. Let me explain it to you now," Said Mag'ladroth, "You see, the weapon you just touched was a soul weapon. It was something linked to Sirius's soul and would grow along with him. Like an extension of Sirius's body. In normal cases, Soul Weapons are hard to find as they are very rare and looking at the one in Sirius's hands, it's he rarest of them all,"
"What do you mean by that?" Ray asked.
"You see. The spear belonged to the Primordial Shadow Overlord and he controlled worlds using that spear. It was said to be one of the strongest and most powerful weapons in history of this universe. It was said that whenever the spear would be raised, death and darkness would follow," Replied Mag'ladroth.
"Then?" Asked Ray. Intrigued by Mag'ladroth's words.
"Then, the Primordial Shadow Overload was killed and his speed was lost to time. Last time, it was seen in the hands of Wolf Ancestor Fenrir when he fought the Gods that imprisoned him. After that, I see it now in your friend's hands. Though, the spear seems to be in a weaker condition considering your friend's strength," Mag'ladroth told Ray.
"Hmm… but why did you ask me about the reaction to the spear?" Asked Ray.
