Beast Evolution

After all, he was avenging his friend's death, if Vaan was here he would have destroyed the whole place with his wind so he had to do the same by bringing the dead body of Ray to calm the heart of Vaan.

"Haaa..." Ian screamed as he attacked Ray.

Ray was fast enough to put his spear in between the attack but the axe sent him flying, Ray landed on the ground and rolled for some seconds before regaining his composure and stopping himself.

The cloak that covered his body protected his body from the fall but Ian was already on him again, and this time he didn't use his axe. He used his foot to kick Ray before he could stand on his feet.

*Crack*

Ray was sent flying once again but this time he heard a crack, one of his ribs was broken from Ian's kick despite his dark cloak covering his stomach area.

Alfred and James tried to stop Ian but both of them ended up unconscious on the ground, Ian was unstoppable, and the other knights couldn't do anything but watch as Ray turned into a kickball for Ian.

Ian would have killed Ray but he wanted to make him suffer for what he did but Ray wasn't going to give up, he was still in the battle as he struggled to stand up.

Ray stood up but he was still struggling to stand still, 3 of his ribs had been broken from Ian's attacks and his stamina was almost depleted making him extremely weak.

[Dark Binds]

Ray cast his spell and dark ropes covered Ian but he was fazed, Ian stood like nothing was going on as Ray tried to gather his strength. Ian took a step forward and all the ropes began to disintegrate.

'Kaan...any ideas cause we are probably going to die now so you might wanna think of something cause I'm all out of ideas'

'I don't have any idea, or we can try something but I'm not sure it's going to work' Kaan spoke.

'What is that...now isn't the time to think if it would work or not' Ray said as he stepped backward.

"Are you running away or are you planning to run away?" Ian asked.

"Why would I run away from a fight, I'm just planning my next step," Ray said.

"Okay, plan carefully..." Ian kept walking forward while Ray was moving backward.

'You would need to break the seal, you are a mage with an affinity to darkness so you can break the seal'

'I don't even know anything about the seal how would I be able to break it, that's out of the question so think of something else'

As Ray stepped back the space between them cracked and a portal opened, from the portal Selena came outside breathing heavily, her body stained with blood.

'The lady mage is back, tell her to break the seal' Kaan said.

"You..." Ian shouted and dashed forward but Ray's spear was already heading straight for Ian.

Ian swung his axe to block the spear but Ray appeared and threw the spear away and teleported with Selena.

"Are you okay?" Ray asked.

"Yes, what happened, are the knights dead?" Selena asked weakly.

"No, but you need to break the seal" Ray spoke with urgency.

"The demon would take over your body, I'm not removing the seal" Selena said.

"Not anymore, if you don't remove the seal we have no chance of survive, just remove the seal" Ray said.

"If that's what you want," Selena said and placed her hands on Ray's chest.

[Undo Dark Seal]

Selena whispered and removed her hands, immediately burning pain enveloped Ray's entire body and his transformation begaon to revert back to normal turning him into a human.

"Found you..." Ian said behind Selena and swung his axe.

Selena couldn't react to Ian's speed but the axe moved past her and she saw Ian's real target, Ian wasn't aiming at her he was aiming at Ray and his axe hit Ray spot on.

The dark cloak that covered Ray had already disintegrate and the axe hit Ray on his chest and blood spilled on both Selena and Ian before Ray's lifeless body was sent flying.

"No..." Selena shouted as Ray landed with a thud.

"You are next" Ian spoke with a hoarse voice as he raised his axe and attacked Selena who was still on the ground.

"You bastard..." Selena shouted and from the ground dark ropes shot out and caught Ian's axe, the ropes held Ian's legs, hands and his neck and pulled him to the ground.

"Piece of cake...Haaa..." Ian shouted and stretched his arms, all the ropes holding him immediately snapped.

Selena body had already been covered by her dark cloak and a sword was in her hands, even though she was using her last strength she was still going to fight and defeat Ian was killing her precious student.

Selena and Ian clashed weapons and Selena fell to the ground, Ian's attack was too much for her to handle with her current strength so she couldn't stay on her feet.

Ian raised his axe to deal the finishing blow to Selena but stopped mid way, he stood there thinking about something them he stopped.

"If she is Edith sister, maybe I shouldn't kill her, I don't want Edith to poison me" Ian chuckled.

He had killed Ray so was going to carry Ray's body along with Vincent's body and take them back after killing all the knights outside of the city.

"Time for you bastards to die" Ian said as he faced the knights.

*Boom*

Something collided with Ian's face and sent him flying, Ian rolled on the ground before he was able to stop himself, it felt like he was hit by a rock but only his face was hit.

His axe was still in his axe as he looked forward, someone was standing in front of him, someone different, someone new, someone dangerous was in front of him.

"Who are you?" Ian asked the crimson haired figure in front of him.

"Kaan..." he simply said.
