Beast Evolution

Chapter 283 283 Half Demon





"I also sent a search party after the mage academy was attacked but I haven't heard from them since," Boreas said.

"Maybe we are searching the wrong places, what if he's in a cave or a dungeon" Selena spoke.

"A cave or a dungeon? why would he be in a cave?" Boreas asked.

"He's able to create infected beasts, maybe he's in one of their dungeons. Also, I'm sure he's visited a lot of dungeons to assemble the beasts he brought here" Alfred spoke.

"Even if he's in a dungeon, dungeons are scattered all over the world, we can't possibly search all of them," the king said.

"If we can't find him then we can't stop the revival, and after the demon king is revived Avalon would be his first target," Selena said.

"All we have to do is increase security, we have to guard the cities with knights and mages" Boreas spoke.

"Even if the cities are guarded, the power of the demon king cannot be defeated by mere knights and mages," Selena said.

"Mere knights and mages, have you ever seen the demon king, have you ever witnessed his powers...then how do you know our knights and mages won't be able to defeat him" Boreas shouted.

"You don't understand the power at play here, we can't defeat him with ordinary methods we have to find something else or do something else" Selena shouted back.

"I'm right here" the king muttered.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty"

Both of them quickly apologized with their head down but the king wasn't offended, he was more concerned about finding Draco.

"I have another question, how did you know he's going to revive a demon Lord with the scroll, according to Williams no one can interpret what is written on the scroll?" the King spoke.

Alfred and Selena looked at themselves, they couldn't bring themselves to lie to the king but at the same time they couldn't tell him that one of their students was now a demon, even Alfred had no idea what happened to Ray as he wasn't around.

"After that day I went into research and discovered that the scroll was an ancient revival scroll made with forbidden magic, that's why the current mage can't understand it because they don't meddle with forbidden magic," Selena said calmly.

"Ohh, so that's why, how can there be no solution to our problems, are we just going to sit still and do nothing?" the King sighed.

"We are going to do our best to increase security first, then we'll see what happens" Boreas spoke.

"I'll speak with the academy and station mages in all cities and villages in case of an attack," Selena said.

"I'll also increase the number of search parties" Alfred spoke.

"Okay that's good, but I have a hunch it's Xethen that's responsible for this, if the enemy was after the scroll, what is the best way to take it?" the King asked.

"By sneaking in" Boreas answered.

"Then why did they bring an army of beasts–to destroy the knight academy and kill everyone in the city, if that's not the reason what is?"

"I agree with you Your Majesty," Boreas said.

"There are only two reasons he would have for attacking the city, either he's working with another kingdom or he has a grudge against Avalon," Alfred said.

"The grudge is highly unlikely, he may be working with another kingdom, but we have no idea if the kingdom is Xethen," Selena said.

"It's getting dark Your Majesty, you should turn in for the night, we already have a room prepared for you and a bath," Alfred said.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" the King asked.

"Tomorrow we're going to bury the brave knights that lost their lives in the battle," Alfred said.

"Okay, after that I want a performance of the first-year and second-year students. The knight academy is the stronghold of Avalon, with the knights that lost their lives we need to know there are promising knights to take their place" the king spoke as he stood up and immediately the three of them stood up.

"It'll be arranged Your Majesty," Alfred said with his head bowed.

"Show the king to his chamber," Alfred said and the door opened, a knight walked in and escorted the king out.

"Really, a demon king, how did you get to that conclusion, what if he's trying to use the scroll for something else?" Boreas asked.

"What else can a revival scroll be used for, did you think he went out of his way to attack the mage academy and the knight academy just to obtain the scroll and revive his wife or what?" Selena shouted.

"I was just wondering, you don't need to shout," Boreas said.

"I'm sorry, I'm just stressed and tired, I didn't mean to shout at you," Selena said as she sat back and sighed weakly.

"I'm going out, I need air," Boreas said as he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

"So what about Ray, is he back to his senses or do you have him in chains?" Alfred asked.

"He's gone" Selena simply said.

"He's gone, I don't understand gone, is he dead?" Alfred asked almost immediately.

"He's not dead, the process was successful but he lost all his memories, he doesn't even remember his name but he went to Xethen empire saying he needs to do something there," Selena said.

"Wait what? He left for the Xethen empire and you let him leave?" Alfred asked.

"Ray is no longer human, Kaan told us he's going to obtain only his powers right, Ray is now a half-demon, maybe if his memories return he would be on our side, but I wasn't able to stop him from leaving," Selena said.

"You weren't able to stop him from leaving, that's means he's stronger than you, that can't be"

"And he's different now, everything about him changed, the way he speaks, his hair, his eyes, everything"

"Did his friends hear him say he's going to Xethen empire?" Alfred asked.

"Yes," Selena answered and Alfred dashed out of the room immediately.
