Chapter 344 Marching To The Rescue
Hearing him, the head nurse smiled, "So you really are ready to give up your life? Well not that i care, I promise to uphold my oath and promise. I will make this world a better place for your children to live and look forward to," the head nurse promised. Once again promising to do something for others and this time, she made sure to remember the reason of her promise. After all, she had forgotten why she started healing but she wont forget this, not now not ever.
As they all prepared for the upcoming battle, far away from the forest; a whole army readied themselves under Sirius's close watch.
Ray was nowhere to be found and it was same for some other people along with him. Nia was with Sirius as she could barely walk and stand but she refused to be on a bed and tried her best to help them out. Ray had let Sirius to take care of her. His mind wasn't in the best of the conditions recently as a big part of him was still enraged and disoriented. Therefore, he decided to lock out all his emotions with Aurora's help. Right now, he was nothing but a cold hearted machine who planned and planned against the tree in the forest.
"Noah, how is your progress going?" The question made Noah snap his head towards Ray as he walked away from the corpse in front of him.
"It's going good, I can now control spirits using my energy and have also fused some of them with my energy signature," Noah replied as Ray nodded, "Very good, I might need your help afterwards, be at your best. Also, how many beasts can you summon currently?"
"I can summon thirty intermediate tiered beasts," Noah answered.
"Good, you can go," Ray let him go and then looked at the vast forest before him. He flew high in the air and looked down at the entrance as he felt a subtle change take place in the direction of the core of the forest.
"It's starting then," Ray mumbled as he rushed back to his mansion. The doors opened as he made way to his room. Beneath his bed room was a chest in which he kept some important stuff that couldn't be stored inside his dimensional storage.
Opening the chest, he took out a small crest that had a dragon drawn onto it. Tapping the crest thrice, a small reddish dot appeared over it as Ray recorded a message and tapped thrice again. The dot disappeared as the crest turned dull again.
"Hopefully everything goes fine," he thought and put everything back and then moved down to the basement. In the basement was the control center of the mansion and there floated a huge white crystal that brimmed with mana. Around the crystal were hundreds of arrays that overlapped one another as they formed multiple functions they were responsible for.
"What is it that you need?" Asked a voice in his head.
"I need your help, the forest is in danger," Ray replied to the voice, knowing full well whom the voice belonged to.
"Why should I help you?" The voice asked again, its tone uncaring as if the lives of a few million beasts wasn't anything to it.
"Because after the forest, it will come to you and then spread to the rest of the humans," Ray replied coldly. His voice was low but his words and the flame in his eyes completely conveyed the meaning he wanted to convey. If the crystal didn't cooperate, Ray would then make sure to have his way by any method possible.
"Speak child, I am listening," the voice spoke once again but this time it did so with restraint and some unwillingness but what could it do? He was the consciousness that dwelled in the crystal and if the kid wanted it shut, he would be shut.
"He is just like that old coot Prometheus, no wonder he sent this kid here," the crystal thought as Ray told it about his plan and what the crystal had to do.
"Okay kid, I will do it but it will cost me half of my energy so you will have to put the whole mansion on standby and use only the safety system while turning off the other ones,"
"Consider it done," Ray answered as he turned on the stand by mode and walked back outside.
Looking for Emma, he saw the wolf's sister standing in a corner, her mood melancholic as Ray understood that the girl was probably feeling sad for the people that had gone while also fearing the deaths the current decisions would bring.
"Emma.. can I talk to you for a bit?" Ray asked.
"Hmmm," Emma nodded as Ray beckoned her to follow him. Doing so, he flew in the air until he was a good distance away from the ground and had the whole mansion in his view. Emma followed behind him as she used her powers to keep herself afloat.
"Yes? Everything good?" Emma asked.
"Well, I need your help,"
"Sure, what do you need me for?" She asked.
"You know that we will be moving forward and knowing your abilities, I want you to locate the head nurse's and everyone else's aura. I have a plan according to what Kashish told me but if we blindly go into the forest, we will just waste the precious time we have. So I need you for that," Ray's words were honest and what he asked from her wasn't anything much so Emma nodded as she wondered,
"If he had to ask this only, he could have done so where we were. Why did he bring me here?" Emma thought as confusion shone in her eyes.
Seeing her confused expression, Ray smiled slightly, "I know what you are confused about. Well.. there is another thing I need your help with,"
"What is it?" Emma asked, fearing it might be something dangerous.
"Well, if you deny it; its totally fine," Ray said as he explained, "I'm sure Aella will be kept captive by the tree and so I need you to use your powers and hide yourself from the tree's senses while I battle it and rescue Aella. I know its not dangerous and if you deny i can totally understand it,"
"Just this?" Asked Emma, a bit dumbfounded. Not by the request but the fact that Ray thought she might deny his request.
"Yeah just this," Ray replied.
"You are an idiot," She said and turned around with a humph.
"Guess I will have to think of a way," Ray's expression saddened as he really hoped Emma would agree and just as he was to go back and prepare something, Emma's voice came from behind, "Don't you dare let any harm come to me while I rescue her and also, Aella is a friend of mine too. So don't you dare think that I wouldn't help in rescuing her,"
Her words cheered him up as his eyes glistened as a few emotions were shown by him. After all, even if some emotions were blocked by Aurora, it didn't mean that because of strong stimuli; his emotions wont show themselves, he was a human after all.
Ray flew back as he approached Sirius and the hundred students in front of him. These were the strongest students who were most compatible with that they were going to attempt and including his team and Noah's beasts along with Sirius's wolves; Ray was sure that they were a force to be reckoned with.
After all, they were some hundred and fifty deadly monsters that were going to fight against a whole forest full of beasts.
"Well, lets see who is more wild. Us or those beasts," Ray grinned savagely as his fists popped in anticipation. He was going to slaughter any beast or monster that stood in his path towards his loved.
"Ray, we are ready to go," Sirius came to him and informed.
"Good," Ray said as he took a few steps forward and stood in front of the students. Looking at them, he stared at each one's eyes as he smiled lightly and spoke, "I wont say much. We dont have the time for any such thing. What I will say is that today we will show those beasts what we are made up of and what we can do. We won't back down and slaughter every beast that stands in our way," As always, Ray's savage voice imprinted itself in everyone's hearts as his enthusiasm raised their spirit by a hundred fold.
"FOR HUMANITY!!!" He screamed as everyone followed and raised their arms in conjunction. With that, they all marched into the forest; their bodies ready to move as they slaughtered without care for the beasts in front of them or the blood that fell on their hands. They were here for slaughter and that was what they were going to do.
