Beast Evolution-Chapter 198 198 Dungeon

"Don't struggle you are tired, I'm going to carry you till we get to the academy" Ivan spoke.

Sofia smiled brightly before wrapping her hands around Ivan, "I don't have a choice then"

Ivan flinched slightly as Sofia held him, her breast was touching his back as she wrapped her hands around him.

Leia looked at both of them and sighed weakly, she walked in front of them and went back to the academy.

'How come a magic teacher is that young, that seems weird, mages are known to train to the limit and if a mage is full-fledged enough to teach others then they would be quite old'

'Wait...the head of the mage academy wouldn't send a young girl to train Ray right' Leia pondered as she walked back to the academy.

Ray and Selena reached the gate of bullmar academy, there were knights standing guard near the gates.

"Are they going to let us pass?" Ray asked in a low voice as they approached one of the guards.

"If they don't, I'm going to put all of them to sleep," Selena said with a serious face making Ray a little afraid.

Both of them stopped as soon as they got to the gate, the knights looked at both of them suspiciously, both of them looked like students of the academy, and the academy wouldn't send students outside the wall alone.

Ray stood there expecting Selena to start a conversation with them so they could let them pass, but she stood there staring at the guards.

"Who are you kids" A hoarse voice spoke from behind.

"We want to leave the city," Selena said boldly without turning around, Ray's eyes widen immediately as a thought came to his mind.

'Don't tell me she didn't take permission from the knights, we are screwed' Ray sighed heavily.

"You kids want to leave the academy, do you think it's safe outside" the large man spoke as he walked in front of Selena. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

Selena faced the large man and smiled brightly before bringing out a small paper pass, she handed the pass to the large man and the man examine the pass and looked at both of them.

"Hump...you can go, take the horse over there" the large man pointed to a large horse.

Selena walked towards the horse and Ray followed her, the guards were mumbling to themselves as both of them walked towards the horse.

'So she took permission, I really thought she was going to put all of them to sleep' Ray said inwardly.

"Do you know how to ride a horse?' Selena asked him.

"No... I've never ridden a horse before, but I've always wanted to ride a horse" Ray said in a joking manner.

"Okay, you are going to be the rider" Selena spoke almost immediately.

"Huh...I told you I can't ride a horse, we are going to get into an accident if I ride, maybe you should ride" 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

"I also can't ride a horse"

"Really, then why are we taking a horse, we should walk instead" Ray suggested immediately.

"We should walk...I can't walk to the forest, if I get tired would you carry me on your back"

"You want me to carry you on my back, wait you really want me to carry you on my back, isn't that kinda inappropriate," Ray said with his face down.

"How is it inappropriate, we are of the same age, so there is nothing wrong, and besides I'm a clone remember"

"Maybe we should just take the horse, it would be better and faster, I've seen knights riding horses so I can try"

"Okay, we're taking the horse," Selena said and stood close to the horse.

Ray was taller than her so he could easily climb on top of the horse, Selena on the other hand called a knight to help her up.

The knight obeyed quickly seeing that he would hold her by the waist, Selena didn't care much about that and finally, both of them were on the horse.

"This is a little different," Ray said.

The horse was still held by a knight so he didn't have control over the horse yet, the knight escorted them to the gate and a small part of the gate was opened and Ray took control.

The horse moved forward slowly because Ray was slightly afraid of the horse going out of control.

"This is going to take forever," Selena said in a bored voice.

"I told you I can't ride a horse, I'm still a little afraid that it would go out of control and drop both go us to the ground" Ray spoke quickly.

"Then hold it steady, it's going to start moving fast very soon," Selena told Ray and Ray wondered what she meant.

Selena touched the horse with both of her hands and slowly the horse increased its speed, Ray quickly held the horse steady and position himself properly.

"Are you doing this?" Ray asked as his eyes focused on the road.

"A little," Selena spoke in a low voice, soon the horse changed its direction, instead of taking them close to the forest, it moved to the other side towards a muddy area.

"You are changing course, didn't you say you wanted me to learn to draw Mana from plants," Ray said.

"I changed my mind, first you are going to learn how to draw Mana from magical beasts, then we can move to plants"

"Wait...we are going to battle?" Ray asked without hiding his excitement.

"Yes, are you happy?"

"Of course, I was hoping to meet beasts in the forest but now we are going to them, that's nice," Ray said with joy.

"There's a dungeon where golems are, first-year students are not allowed there because there is a high-level beast there, but I'm going with you so be rest assured," Selena said.

"Really a higher level beast... please can you let me defeat it" Ray pleaded without losing his focus.

He was excited as Selena mentioned the high-level beast, he defeated the Minotaur so he was confident of being able to defeat a high-level golem.

"You can't defeat this one, even full-fledged knights avoid this particular dungeon so I don't think you can"

"I can... I'm confident that I can" Ray said quickly.

Selena chuckled softly and the ride continued in silence till they got to their destination, the horse stopped in front of a tree and both of them climbed down.

Just before the knights' academy, there was a huge forest, and a path was created in center of the forest, if the path is followed it leads directly to Avalon.

The right side of the forest was where the knight's camp was located, first-year students go there for their survival training, beasts in the forest are often regulated and dungeons are preserved for the sake of training.

There were different training grounds for students but the golem dungeon was prohibited for training, so the students could only use the forest.

There was another training ground slightly far from the academy and close to a large lake but with the current incident of infected beast, the place was not safe, knights stationed there had quickly retreated back to the academy under the order of the senior knights.

Trees surrounded the area of the dungeon, Ray tied the horse to a tree and followed Selena as she led the way, different sounds came from the forest as they walked toward the dungeon.

Ray was vigilant as he looked around the forest, if an infected beast attacks the system would inform him but it was different for normal beasts.

After walking for a few seconds they reached a stop. There were no trees around the area and the ground was muddy, as they walked through the muddy ground it felt like the ground would suck them in but it didn't.

"Visitors" Selena said as they spot two stone golems from afar. The golem still hasn't noticed them.

"So they are just walking free?" Ray asked.

"Golems are slightly different from other beasts, even though they can they don't wander far from their dungeon" Selena said.

"So we are close to their dungeon"

"No...we are already in their dungeon," Selena said.

"I don't see a cave or anything, or is it underground?" Ray asked.

"You have been to a lot of dungeons right," Selena said.
