Chapter 212 - Dark Guild Secret (1/2)

After Killing the Scorpion Killer, Ray quickly scouted the area to see if there were any more advanced tier beasts. Unfortunately for him, his luck wasn't so good. The highest tier beasts he could see around him where intermediate class and although he could defeat them and earn some coin, there were more important things to do right now.

Using Noir, Randin and Ray were able to head back to the academy fairly Quickly. Noir had not only gotten bigger after her evolution but also faster. There weren't many improvements in terms of strength and she didn't have any skills or special properties like other beasts but Ray was hoping that the Scorpion killer's beast crystal, would be able to change that.

After riding on Noir for about three hours they had finally made it back to Avrion city. It was night time now but the guards had immediately recognised Noir and lifted the gates open to let her In.

On the whole ride back, Randin couldn't stop staring at the beast crystal they had obtained. Ray thought Randin was an odd man but someone he found hard to dislike. They continued to go through the city until they had finally arrived at Avrion academy.

Slyvia was waiting out front with a black knight as a guard. Ray had informed her beforehand that he would be heading back soon and the mission was a success.

”Has everything been prepared?” Ray asked.

”Yes, the blacksmith area has been cleared and all the tools Randin asked for are inside,” Slyvia replied.

Then just as Ray was about to de summon Noir, Randin stopped him.

”Wait, boy, before we head inside, there is something I need from her.”

Randin then walked up to Noir and pulled out a small blade.

”I mean you no harm but I need a little of your blood,” Randin said as he took the blade and placed it against her leg.

Randin looked up at Noir to see if she would allow him to, and as if the two were talking some type of secret code, Randin proceeded to make a small cut on Noirs leg and place the blood inside a leather bag.

”She will not be needed anymore,” Randin said.

The three of them headed inside and proceeded to watch Randin do his work. Randin pulled a small microscopic device and started to inspect the beast stone. After a few minutes of looking at the stone, Radin took out a large piece of paper and started to make a design.

Finally, he had finished sketching on the piece of paper and came over towards Slyvia and Ray.

”I don't know if this is what you were hoping for but it's best if the stone is used to make a type of claw,” Randin said as he showed Slyvia and Ray the piece of paper.

The piece of paper showed a detailed drawing of Noir, on her legs were metallic objects that went up to the knee but covered her toes and claws.

”The metallic objects will not only protect her best weapon, her speed from being injured but they will also be able to produce the same type of Venom that the scorpion produced,” Randin explained.

”It's perfect,” Ray said.

”Before I start, are there any special requests?”

Ray thought about it for a while until he came up with an answer.

”Do you mind dying the armour in black and red?” Ray asked.
