Chapter 514: Breaking the seal  

Wearing all the equipment on his body made him feel better. Ray was covered head to toe in the special red dragon armour. It was clear though from the outside that the set was incomplete. His left arm was completely void of any armour.

His right arm had a red gauntlet, but his left was bare. Thinking back, Ray started to remember Gary's hammer which had turned into a gauntlet. It seemed like it would be a perfect fit. However, even though the set was incomplete, Ray could feel the great power, the one that was most impressive was the dragon sword in his hand.

He swung the sword as hard as he could through the air. It had cut so cleanly, and the whole room started to shake for a few seconds before stopping.

'This equipment must be stronger than any beast equipment in existence. It's no wonder, since it was made using my body. They must have given the shadow a lot of trouble.' Ray thought.

He also started to think of Gary, holding onto something made from his body would possess him and consume him with power. Now Ray was feeling a little guilty thinking it was his fault.

'No, this is all the Divine Beings fault getting me wrapped up in this mess.' He told himself, but was that the truth. If the humans had approached, Ray and treated him better when he was a dragon, would this have happened?

Not wanting to think about it anymore, Ray proceeded to exit the room and walk down the stairs, not without saying his thanks to the brave warriors that had sacrificed their lives. Finally, he had reached the first floor again, and it was time to check out what was underneath.

'After such a surprise at the top of the castle, I doubt there is anything of interest below, but there is no harm in checking it out while I'm here.' Ray said to himself as he walked down. The main reason why Ray wanted to check the underneath the castle was to locate the strange energy.

At first, Ray thought maybe the castle area wasn't affected by the shadow due to the dragon armour and weapon. However, when looking back at the Dragon knight's memories, they spoke as if the land was already corrupt, and for some reason just like now, the castle hadn't been possessed, it had even been a safe haven for them.

While Ray was walking down he noticed it was incredibly dark, and for the first time, the strange energy he felt was getting stronger, and it was familiar. The armour and sword on his body started to vibrate as if it wanted to pull him towards whatever was down there.

'No it can't be, it's really still here!' Ray thought as he ran down to the bottom of the stairs, to be met with two gigantic doors towering over him. The doors were so big, they were nearly as large as the castle itself. On the front of each of them were the special locks and the doors that were made of glathrium.

'If I'm correct then I no longer have to do this anymore!' Ray thought, as he couldn't wait any longer, placing his hand on the door.

With certain locks one would need to know the combination, but in the past the system had always opened those doors for him, and he was relying on that right now.

His hand touched the walls and the system message appeared as usual.

[You do not have access to this room]

The system message that appeared before him was denying him access.

"No!" Ray shouted. "You will not stop me this time."

Punching his two fists together, Ray started to gather as much of his Ki as possible. In the past he hadn't been able to destroy a glathrium made door, but he had grown since then, and this was more important than ever.

Using all his strength and Ki, he pounded his fist into the door. A loud bang was heard and the door vibrated but it wouldn't budge. Soon after another fist came colliding into the door and the same thing happened again.

"I'm not going to stop here!" Ray shouted, as he continued to deliver punch after punch, aiming for the same spot.

Back at Avrion, Bliss who was busy making more of the special solution to get rid of the shadow, felt something jolt in her body. She dropped the container in her hand and it had smashed against the floor. Her hand was grasping against her chest.

"What is happening, is Ray doing something?"

As Ray punched the door again, the pain struck through Bliss's body, and blood was now trickling out of her mouth.

"It's the seal, I never thought he would find it while in the shadow content and so soon."

The pain continued through her body and she could tell Ray was close to forcing the seal open.

"I have no choice, if I want to live then I have to undo the spell. But Ray, I hope you make the right choice after this."

Closing her eyes and sitting on the floor, Bliss started to chant, it looked like she was whispering to herself.

"Finally, the door seems to be giving in, it just needs one big push." Ray said, as he could see the door was now heavily dented.

Then, the sword on his hilt was calling to him, it wanted to help.

"So be it." Ray said, grabbing the sword and holding it with two hands.

He gathered his energy and the red crystal on the sword started to glow, and at the same time it looked like Bliss was nearly done as well.

"Unlock the seal!" She said, as she twisted her hand, at the same time, Ray swung his sword full of energy. He could see a circle pattern on the door light up for a few seconds but it was already too late.

A large red slash of aura had left the sword and collided into the door. The whole room shook so heavily that Ray feared the whole underground place could collapse, but when the shaking stopped he was safe and the top half of the door had fallen onto the other side.

The single strike to the door had cut it diagonally.

Usually, Ray would have been amazed by such power, but he was far more concerned about something else. As he jumped up through the door to the other side, there he could see it. He was so stunned that he nearly dropped his sword and fell to his knees.

For in front of his very eyes, was his real body. The body of the red dragon sen.
