Chapter 136 136 Weak

"So you think you can stop me" Draco shouted and charged toward Ray.

Ray swung his spear but it was easily evaded, Draco moved sideways and punched Ray.

Ray tried to keep himself standing after the blow but he couldn't, Draco appeared in front of him again and held his neck.

"If you have stayed out of it, I would have spared you, but now you are going to die with them"

Ray's spear appeared in his hands again and he decreased its size but before he could attack Draco, he was tossed away.

Ray fell down on the ground, he was already weak from the initial battle with Draco but he couldn't let the tamer get killed so he had to force himself up.

*Argh*

Ray coughed out as he felt pain in his stomach, Draco raised his leg again and stomped Ray stomach hard causing him to cough out blood.

"You think you are some sort of hero, you weakling"

Draco picked Ray up from the ground, Ray couldn't even look him in the eye anymore.

Best

"He said you would be a challenge for me, but I guess he was wrong" Draco shouted and punched Ray's face.

Draco punched Ray repeatedly till his face was covered in blood, his nose and his mouth were bleeding seriously.

Draco dropped Ray's half-conscious body to the ground, Ray couldn't even move and Draco's body had finished healing.

[Golden swords]

Draco left Ray and wanted to walk toward Luna but a pair of bleeding hands held his legs.

"I w-won't let you kill her," Ray said with his eyes half closed.

Draco smiled at the resilient of Ray, but he immediately turned back and used his other foot to kick the face of Ray.

Draco didn't expect Ray to still be conscious after he kicked his face but Ray was still stretching his hands to hold Draco's legs.

"I didn't want to kill you before, but it seems like you are asking to be killed"

"L-Leave her alone" Ray whispered weakly.

Draco gritted his teeth and smirked, he didn't want to end Ray's life so instead of killing Ray.

Draco bent down and held both of Ray's arms, he placed one of his legs on Ray's back to hold him in place.

"Arghhh!!"

Ray screamed loudly as Draco stretched his hands, Ray kept screaming even though he had no strength, it felt like his hands would come off any second.

*Crack!!*

Two cracking was heard as both of Ray's bones broke, Ray couldn't withstand the pain he felt and soon he began to feel light-headed and he passed out.

...

"You have failed in your mission" a loud voice spoke.

"How could the grand master entrust the fate of humanity on this weakling" another voice spoke.

Ray couldn't see a thing, everywhere were pitch black in Ray's eyes, and he could only hear voices speaking.

"He isn't dead yet"

"What can he do with those"

...

Ray's eyes fluttered open and he stood still staring at the ceiling, he looked around and from the looks of it, he was in an unfamiliar environment.

He couldn't make out where he is, the room was painted white but his eyes were still blurry.

Ray looked at his body, he was covered with a white sheet.

'Where is this, why am I here' Ray wondered.

Ray tried to stand but his body was still too weak, the room was empty except for him.

Ray tried to sit up and this time he succeeded, both of his hands were tied with white clothing, Ray looked at his hands in Surprise as he didn't remember wearing white clothing on his hands.

Ray stretched his hands and immediately he felt intense pain in both of his hands, Ray could help but shout.

The door opened and someone ran inside, Ray was once again feeling lightheaded and in a few seconds, he fell back on his bed.

"Is he awake?"

"I don't think so, he going back to coma"

"Is he alright, will he be alright?"

That was the last word he heard before he passed out, Ray was laid on the bed and was gently covered with the white sheet.

Leia stood there looking at him with tears in her eyes, one of the mages placed his hands on Ray. Gabriel walked inside and saw Leia and the mage.

"Is he awake?" he asked immediately.

"He woke up but he went into coma" Leia replied.

"He going to be alright he just needs some rest," the mage said and left the room.

Ray was inside the medical center of the mage academy, the medical center of the mage academy was where the finest healers in the capital were.

Authur walked in along with Alfred and James, they met with the mage outside and he explained the situation.

"He's going to be alright," Authur said.

"Is his hands going to be okay?" Leia asked.

Authur didn't say anything, he just took a deep breath and walked out of the room in anger, Alfred and James followed him out of the room.

Leia cried silently as she looked at Ray laying there, his heaving chest was the only sign that he was alive, Ray lay on the bed completely still.

Ray opened his eyes for the second time and this time the room was not empty, Leia and Gabriel were seated beside him but they were fast asleep.

Ray sat upright this time and brought his legs down from the bed along with the white sheet.

Ray sighed softly, his hands were still wrapped in white clothing, he tried moving them but he felt slight pain as he moved them around.

'What is wrong with my hands, why do they hurt so much'

Ray stood up and carefully walked out of the room, he didn't want to wake Leia and Gabriel, but he still couldn't raise his hands, they felt too heavy for him.

Ray used his legs to push the door open, he stood at the entrance of the door and looked at both sides.

He was hungry so he was looking for anyone to ask where he could get something to eat, the hallway was well-lit with crystals that were hanging at the top.

He chose the left path and walked towards it, he didn't know where he was but still, he was hungry. Ray heard some voices speaking and his face brightened.

He quickly walked over to the room he heard the voices, the room was slightly opened and Ray peeked inside.

He didn't know how it was and he didn't want to intrude, maybe a girl was naked in the room who knows, so he took a little peek.

He saw the figure of three men speaking inside the room, he recognized the voice, they were Authur, Alfred, and James.

Ray smiled and wanted to kick the door when he heard his name.

"How far we have fallen, we can't even protect our students" Authur gritted his teeth.

"It's not our fault, Ray went on his own" Alfred said.

"It's still our fault, they came with us, it's our responsibility to protect the three of them," James said.

'What the hell happened, and why do they want to protect us, did something happened'

"What did the healer say concerning Ray?" Alfred said.

"His hands are going to be okay, but..." Authur paused for a few seconds.

"He can't be a knight again"

Ray felt the world spinning as he heard that.

'what is Authur saying, he's joking right, is that why my hands are tied, what happened'

It felt like Ray's head was being pounded by a metal bat and a name came to his mind.

'Draco, the capital, the mage academy, my hands' Ray felt like crying but he couldn't.

"What are you doing outside?" a voice asked Ray.

The three senior knights looked at the door and saw a figure of someone, Ray immediately slumped to his knees.

The three of them rush to the door and saw Ray on his knees crying furiously, they tried calming him down but he couldn't stop.

"Arghhh" Ray cried loudly.

"Ray... it's going to be okay you need to stop crying"

"H-How is it going to be okay" Ray shouted loudly.

The mage at his back placed his hands on Ray and immediately light faded from his eyes.

"I put him to sleep, he's going to wake up in the morning so you guys can talk about that, you should take him.

Authur carried Ray princess-style back to his room and placed him on his bed, that was when Leia and Gabriel woke up.

Leia looked at Ray's face and saw tears in his eyes, she knew he had found out about his hands.

The mage said the bones were torn apart, mages and knights arrived when his hands were about to be torn off, and Draco escaped.

Well, it wasn't an escape as he succeeded in injuring some knights before he left, Ray was taken to immediately care and that was how his hands were saved.

But he wouldn't be able to use them for battle, his hands could not wield a sword effectively anymore.
