Beast Evolution

As soon as the wolf stood up it was sent flying and eventually crashed into a tree, Ian kicked the wolf in anger.

"Haaa...that feels much better, maybe I should try killing some of these wolves, that would calm me down a little" Ian smirked.

Ian didn't break a sweat as he used his bare hands to kill five wolves that attacked him. He walked back home ready to shout at Vincent and beat the crap out of him.

"Finally," Ian said as he rushed towards the door.

"Vincent why would you throw me..." Ian stopped as he saw a familiar face sitting on one of the chairs.

He totally forgot what he wanted to say to Vincent as he looked at the handsome face that occupied the chair.

Draco seated comfortably on the wooden chair and crossed his legs together, his presence was emitting some strange aura that would make even a stranger afraid.

"M-Master...you are back," Ian said and bowed down immediately.

"Sorry for taking so long...I was caught up with a business" Draco spoke.

"No problem...how was your journey?" Ian asked as he took a seat in another chair.

"It was fun, what did you guys do when I was gone?" Draco asked with a smile.

"Ian and Vincent fought repeatedly..." Aurora sneered causing Ian and Vincent to glare at her.

"When did we fight...we're just joking around we're guys, that's how we joke around" Vincent spoke almost immediately.

Draco laughed and his face turn serious, he dropped his leg was crossed and he spoke, "We are going to the next step"

"You mean..."

"Yes, we are going to the knight academy," Draco said in a low voice.

"When are we going, I'm already pumped," Ian said smiling.

As the knight academy was mentioned, all other topics were dropped immediately, Ian was now smiling like a madman thinking about all the destruction he would cause in the knight academy.

"This time we are going full scale, we would hit them till the academy and everyone in it is brought down to their knees," Draco said in a cold tone.

"So we're using the army?" Vaan asked.

"Yes, we should pay them a visit, now..."

Vincent stood up and led the way, as soon as the door was opened he whispered some words, and a portal opened in front of them, Draco walked in and the rest followed behind.

The portal led them to an abandoned castle, if it's seen from the outside it looked like it was destroyed some days ago but it has been like this for a long time.

Draco pushed the wooden door in front and walked in, immediately he entered all eyes inside the castle fell on him.

All of them fell to their knees and bowed down for Draco as he came in, there were roughly 100 men in front of him and he commanded them to stand.

The men looked like they were on a break as they sat leisurely, eating, laughing, and talking to themselves till Draco walked in.

"Randal..." Vaan called out and a familiar-looking face walked forward from the crowd.

"Did you succeed?" Draco asked him.

"I...I couldn't kill him, he escaped no I escaped because the beast was killed and adventurers swarmed the area..." Randal said with his voice shaking.

Randal was the mage who was sent along with the high-level ice beast to Assassinate Authur, but they failed.

"So you failed to kill him, you can go," Draco said and turned around.

"Master...please forgive me...it wouldn't repeat itself again" Randal fell to his knees and begged.

"We are going to attack the Bullmar academy in a few days, everyone should be prepared by then" Draco spoke and left the castle.

Randal inhaled deeply and sighed in relief, he wasn't sure he was going to survive but it looks like he have a second chance to prove himself.

It was finally night time and the four roommates were already sleeping, Ivan and Sofia were tired from the training session while Ray and Leia were tired from their journey.

Instead of visiting Lily, Ivan and Sofia kept asking Ray questions about the attack but he was careful not to mention that they confronted Draco and his hands got broken.

That was a secret but most people in the capital knows, so it won't take much time before the news get here but when it does his hands would have been healed by then.

In the school premise, different knights walked toward a huge hall that could easily contain 500 people or more.

Knights filled the hall as they were told an announcement would be made by Authur, all the instructors as well as some other important knights were present.

Authur entered the hall through another door and stood in front of all the knights, all the knights stood up as Authur was in front of them.

A small platform was placed in front and Authur stood on it and cleared his throat, the whole hall became quiet as they waited for Authur to speak.

"As you all heard, Avalon was attacked some weeks ago..." Authur started.

"The intruders were highly trained mages and swordsmen, and their aim was to steal a certain scroll in the mage academy"

"And they succeeded in stealing the scroll by creating a distraction to take all the knights and mages away from their real target"

The knights in the hall were all surprised, when they were told Avalon was attacked they were surprised, and now Authur told them that the enemies that attacked Avalon got what they wanted and escaped without a trace, it was truly shocking.

"On my way back here we were attacked by a mercenary sent by the enemy that attacked Avalon, none of the other kingdoms were attacked except Avalon"

"We are not sure if one of the kingdoms is responsible for the attacks"

"I called all of you here for a simple reason, protection of this city...the enemy would attack Bullmar sooner or later, so we have to be ready," Authur said.

All the knights in the hall were angry and had one thing in mind if the intruders step their legs on Bullmar that would be their end.

The meeting ended and all the knights returned to their various houses, Alfred and James walked towards their rooms in the school when Authur stopped them.

"We should speak in private..." Authur said and both of them followed him without asking a single question.

The three of them sat inside Authur's room in the academy and Authur inhaled sharply before speaking.

"The enemy stole a scroll from the mage academy," Authur said.

"We're all aware of that" Alfred and James answered.

"There is a second scroll here in the knight academy and the enemy is coming after it," Authur said.

"Huh! I don't understand...the enemy would attack Bullmar because of a scroll, what does the scroll contain" Alfred asked immediately.

"I don't know, it was there when I became head of the knight academy, and even Selena couldn't read the words inscribed on the scroll"

"Then how did you know that's what the enemy is after, do the scrolls look alike?"

"Yes, they are almost the same, and no one understood the scroll but still it was placed underneath the knight academy. If Draco is after the scrolls that means he knows what they are for?" Authur asked.

"If he doesn't know the use why would he want them, and besides how did he discover the location of the scroll?" Alfred said.

"I'm not sure he's the one that needs the scroll, I'm positive he doesn't know the use of the scroll," James said.

"That is my speculation, but if he doesn't need the scroll, who needs it then"

"Selena told me that anyone who understood the words written on the scroll must be 500 years old, and there is no one like that, or maybe we haven't met the person"

"So Draco is working for someone that needs the scroll, but for what?"

"Power...the scroll contains powerful spells that only ancient mages could cast, if someone can cast those spells Avalon would fall in a day," Authur said.

"So we have to protect the scroll, even if it cost our lives," Authur said and the two of them nodded in agreement.

"Once the scrolls are complete and a human sacrifice is made, I would be reborn in the flesh"

"Just a little more time, till the world falls under my command"
