My Dragon System

The True infected didn't last long, as Ray pulled his hand back out from its chest, it instantly collapsed onto the floor. Now that the Infected person had collapsed, they all had a clear view of the person behind it. The man they had met back at the arena named Nes.

Of course, Jack, Badger and Sloth watching the whole thing knew it was really Ray. Ray then quickly cast his shadow skills before disappearing back deeper into the cave and away from the others.

"Who was that?" Ann asked.

"It was really him, he saved us again. He was the one who scared away the Dark guild leader." Martha explained.

"He protected us, just like he said he would," Dan said looking at the infected body. "We're saved."

Martha and Dan had only recently joined the Red wings, their main reason for joining was protection. They were scared of the things the academy was hiding and scared of the people after their life. After learning that Nes was the leader they immediately agreed to join.

They were still sceptical about whether or not Nes would be able to save them when they needed him to but somehow, someway, Nes had once again saved their lives.

Deeper in the cave where no light could be seen, Ray was sitting down with part of the cave wall up against his back. He was sat in complete darkness alone. His hands were placed on top of his head and he didn't know how to feel right now.

Ray wanted to meet the true infected before anyone would get to him, before the two groups split up Ray cast his skill doppelganger, that way he would be able to help the two groups if they were in desperate need. The only thing he had to choose now was which group to send his true self with.

It was a gamble but Ray felt like the True infected had purposely let himself be seen by the others when entering the cave in the mountains, so Ray chose to go with Ann's group while hiding in the shadows as Nes.

When he saw the True infected this time it was completely different from the times before. With the evolution, Ray's dragon eyes skill also became stronger but there was one thing Ray could always see when looking at a True infected and that was his father's yellow aura around his heart.

When Ray looked at the True infected in the cave just now, there wasn't a hint left of his father inside, he had been completely taken over. Ray didn't want his father to suffer anymore he had to finish the True infected there and then.

Ray could see the True infected was powerful, more powerful than he was even with the evolution but its mind was focused on something else. Ray started to gather the Ki from his team members to launch a single surprise attack.

Ray's body could now handle a total of 200 mana points without feeling a strain on his body but he needed more power than that to defeat the True infected. He gathered a total of 300 points from all the members of the Academy and then in one strike, aimed for the most concentrated part of shadows, the heart.

Ray was still sat in the corner trying to get a hold of his emotions, images of him and his father as a child training together started to pop in his head and finally for the first time since he had turned into a human. Tears started to roll down his face.

Ray stood up and screamed at the top of his lungs. The place started to vibrate with the sound of his almighty roar. It sounded similar to when Ray would cast his Dragon's roar skill, only this time there was no buff to his teammates.

"What was that noise?" Dan asked.

"I don't know but our mission has been accomplished, let's go and grab the body," Ann said

But when the others went to where the True infected fell, there was no longer a body there.

That was because Ray had taken the body with him deeper into the cave. His father's body was currently lying still on the cold wet floor. Ray wanted to look at his father one last time before saying goodbye.

"What am I meant to tell mum now, I said I'd save you but instead you were the one who saved me."

Ray placed his hand on top of his father's head and gave one final goodbye.

"Thank you, dad and goodbye."

Ray's gauntlet slowly started to heat up until it eventually lit up in flames which passed on to the body and after holding his fathers' body for a while, there was nothing left but ashes.

Somewhere in the cave, Sir K and his group were moving as fast as they could to Ann and the others, it couldn't have been long since they entered the cave, Sir K expected that Ann had encountered the True infected near the entrance of the iron door and he was right.

But while the whole group was running Monk noticed something about Ray's clone. Ray's clone was running up ahead and Monk suddenly felt a splash of water hit his face from upfront. When he looked at where the water was coming from, he could see tears coming from the clone's face.

Sir K and Ann's group eventually met up, Ray's clone went off to explore the cave a bit more and when he was away from the others, he de summoned his clone and switched places. Sir K was shocked after hearing the words come out of Ann's mouth. He couldn't begin to imagine how Nes managed to get past the Iron doors.

Before leaving they sealed up the iron doors at both entrances and headed back to report the news.

Back in Slyvia's room, she was currently alone with Von and had just received news of everything that had happened.

"It looks like you were right, he was watching us this whole time," Slyvia said, "I wonder who he is?"

"hmm, Although I am also intrigued to find out who the man is, the most important thing now is meeting with Nes. Because he has finally done something that no one has been able to do before. Defeat a true infected." Von said.

While the others were talking about him without even realising it, Ray was once again on the roof of the dorm looking over the edge at the city.

He hadn't had time to check it out earlier because he was too distracted with his father's death but he had received a notification.
