Chapter 110 - Intervene
As soon as Ray saw Geo drinking the purple liquid, he knew this was bad news. When Killer used the same thing against Jack, it made him three times as strong.
But Ray wasn't the only person who noticed Geo drink the purple liquid. Jack who was at the other side of the arena could also tell that it was the same thing that Killer took.
"What's wrong Jack?" Harry asked as he could see Jack's facial expression had suddenly changed.
"Harry, if something happens, I need you to back me up or get out of the way."
It had been a long time since Harry had seen this kind of intensity in Jack's eyes. He knew something was going down. Harry had always been close to Jack ever since they went out hunting as second years. There was a time when a magical beast almost killed Harry. That day Jack had saved his life and Harry had promised to follow Jack ever since.
Whatever Jack was planning to do, Harry wasn't going to hesitate. He would help him straight away. What Harry didn't know was that Jack was currently waiting on Ray. Before doing anything, he wanted to see what Ray would do first.
Ray was currently hesitating on what to do. If he acted now in front of everyone, the shadow plague, dark guild, pureblood or whoever was behind this would know he knew too much. They would actively start searching for him even more.
Ray was hoping that the master knights had noticed something and would intervene. The taking of potions during a match wasn't prohibited due to their effects only being mental. The knights had assumed that Geo had taken something that made him more fearless so he could charge in and attack.
As Ray stood still thinking, the fight continued on. As soon as Geo had taken the purple liquid, the situation had reversed in the match. Geo attacked with his axe but this time it was a lot faster. Ian managed to dodge it by only a few inches.
Usually, there would be a slight pause between Geo's attacks but this time the next one came straight after. The attack was too fast for Ian to dodge so he had to block.
Ray could see this was a dangerous situation. With Geo's current power increase, the weapon would go right through Ian's two axes and hit his body directly. Not only that, with the shadow plague infecting Geo more so than likely Geo wouldn't stop there and would continue to attack until Ian was no longer left alive.
This was especially true since Ian had red hair.
Ray was still deciding on what to do. Once the first attack hit, then the master knights might be able to see that this was a loss for Ian and stop the match in time but there was also a chance that they couldn't.
Then Ray thought about one person, Slyvia. If Slyvia was in his situation and had as much power as he did right now, what would she do?
"She wouldn't have hesitated," Ray said.
"What did you say Ray?" Kyle asked.
But as soon as he went to look at Ray who was by his side, Ray had already run off into the arena.
Using all his Ki in his legs, Ray burst into the arena and onto the stage like a rocket, ready to stop Geo's axe. When he was only a few feet away when a shadow started to appear. Out of the shadow, Sir K appeared.
"You are not allowed to intervene in this match Ray!" Sir K said as he grabbed his black blade.
"I don't have time to explain. Move!" Ray said as he switched all the Ki powering his legs into his gauntlets and fist.
Without hesitation, Ray punched Sir K as hard as he could. The force was unexpected for Sir K. He had to use every bit of energy he had to stop the attack, but Ray's power was overpowering his.
Nevertheless, Sir K refused to move a single step and took in as much energy as possible, eventually causing him to cough out streams of blood.
The shockwaves between the two of them were so strong that it caused Geo to move off balance missing his axe strike and hitting the ground. But Geo was soon able to shake it off and was looking for blood.
"Jack kill Geo Now!" Ray shouted.
As soon as Jack had heard those words, Jack went storming in to finish Geo. He left his fellow teammates by the side to rush into the arena.
Jack then jumped in the air with his giant greatsword in hand and came crashing down on Geo's head. While Jack was mid-air though, he felt someone kick him from the side and Jack quickly fell to the ground.
"What is the meaning of all this!" Wilfred shouted.
Jack quickly got up with only one thing on his mind: he was going to follow his boss's order of killing Geo. Jack went in again to stop Geo, but Wilfred got in his way again.
"What the hell is happening!" Kyle, Dan, Badger and Sloth all thought.
Sir K and Ray were currently in a stalemate while Jack was being blocked off by Wilfred. Geo then looked at Ian and said.
"No one can save you now."
A strike came from Geo's axe that was too fast for Ian to dodge. Ian lifted his two axes to block the attack but it was useless. The axe sliced through the two axes like they were made of butter and continued to go down until it eventually hit Ian in the chest.
"Quick, look stop him now!" Ray shouted.
Wilfred turned to around and could see Geo standing over Ian, Ian was lying on the floor with blood dripping from his chest. Geo lifted his axe out of Ian's chest and was preparing for another swing.
"Stop!" Wilfred shouted. "You have already won this match. If you attack that student one more time you will be expelled and shall face the consequences."
"Who cares about that," Geo said.
As Wilfred looked closer into Geo's eyes, he could see that the whites in his eyeballs were slowly starting to be covered in a strange purple liquid.
"No, it can't be!" Wilfred said.
