King and Diana is on the way toward the shopping district. Since she's cooking their dinner, they needed to buy ingridients for it. While walking, they are talking to each other about some stuffs. Diana might be troublesome but King really appreciate her presence. She tease him all the time which King didn't totally hate at all and partially like it since it makes him remind of his past where he always get teased by the 6 of his teammates. He hated remembering his past but since Diana told him to remember it even it's painful, he decided to keep all of this happy memories of his past.
" King what do you want to eat?" Diana asked.
"Anything... I'm not really choosy at food"
'Except captains food' He thought as he remembered Meliodas foods.
" Ahh okay... Curry then" She said.
" That will work" King said.
They continued walking for a while until Diana asked him.
" King your house is not that far from here right?" Diana asked.
" Yeah.. It should be two blocks aw-" He stopped talking when he felt something. He felt someone was looking at them with killing intent.
"King?" Diana asked in confusion.
"Diana get your guard up. I felt someone is looking at with killing intent" He said.
Diana nodded and became observant of her surrounding. As both of them continued to observe, King saw an arrow coming toward Diana. King jumped toward her pushing her toward an alley in a street as he saw an arrow almost hitting her. The arrow made contact causing a shallow cut in his arm. They then hid behind the dumpster in the alley.
"King what happend" She asked in a worried expression as she saw the graze in his arm.
"Shhhh. Keep your head down someone is attacking us" He said as they both hid behind a trash bin in a alley
As he take a peek. He saw a man in an alley with a bow taking aim at them.
"Shit we can't move" He said.
"Let's just fight back. We both strong they are no match to us" Diana confidently said.
" No .. You don't know how many they are and how strong they are. Let's observe for now" King said at her which Diana found logical.
King who is still peeking then quickly pushed Diana as he saw one guy coming from the air with a vertical slash.
"You can't dodge this!!" The guy yelled as he is almost in range to do a slash. King then quickly pushed Diana away.
"No time saving others... Save yourself first!!" The guy said as he perform the slash.
[×] Come, Takemikazuchi [×]
A golden lightning sword in appear in his hand and quickly blocked the vertical slash.
*Clang* The two swords parried surprising the guy. King then quickly kicked him in the stomach sending the guy backward. He held his stomach as he felt the pain from King's kick. He then looked at King with curious look. 'No chants at all' The guy thought. As he was doing this, he felt a sharp thing in he's back. And there he saw King with his sword pressing his back.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us" King asked with a killing intent.
The guy didn't talk and instead let King stab the guy to hold King's sword down. And there King felt pain as something hit him in the stomach. It was a arrow, an arrow piercing from the guy to him. King quickly coated his body with lightning and also his sword, electrocuting the sttabed guy making him lose his grip which King find an opportunity and quickly retracted his sword and quickly kicked the guy away. King then saw a barrage of flaming arrows toward him.
[×] Takemikazuchi 2nd technique [×]
Boundary of Instant Death
Lightning then form an encircle boundary around King as he stand in the middle of it in his stance. The approaching arrow then slashed into smaller pieces as it cross the lightning boundary. King was slashing the arrows very fast that a naked eye can't even see. The arrows is still coming to him endlessly but King was blocking and slashing every arrow non-stop.
[×] Ice Wall [×]
An ice wall then arose from the ground blocking the incoming arrows. King very well know who's ability this is.
"King you alright? You're bleeding in the stomach" Diana said as she ran towards him.
King then ease up and kneeled on the ground holding the wound in his stomach. It was already healed but he had to act like it hurt
" Yeah I'm fine Diana . Thanks for the help " King looking in pain. " Nevermind me. Are you fine?" He asked.
" Yeah I'm fine. Thanks to you for giving me time in chanting my SW." She said with a smile. " But most importantly... You summoned yours without even chanting!! How did you do that?!?! " Diana curiously and loudly asked.
" Ahmmm.... well you see...." King only said as he tried thinking of an alibi.
"Well nevermind that.... I was saved because of it after all" She said to King even she is curious as hell but it's not a good time for that since they are being attacked.
"So what now?" Diana asked.
"Let's run" King said with a serious face.
"O.. kay" Diana said as she didn't expect for King to say that.
King then grabbed her hand and started running. As they left the alley, they saw 15 people with different weapons surrounding them.
"Tsk.. They've been waiting" King said as he took a stance. " Looks like no way out other than fightning" King said.
[×] Ice Manipulation [×]
Frostana
An ice sword then formed out of thin air which Diana grab and then took her stance.
"Getting serious ehhh?" A voice then can be heard from a dark alley. King and Diana looked at the alley and saw a man coming out from it. The guy was in a black shirt, pants, sunglasses and a black reaper scythe in his back and look very strong.
"Who are you? What do you want?" King asked.
" Man too many questions" The guy said as he scratched his head. " Very well .... You can call me the Grim Reaper and for what I want... Her" He said as he pointed Diana.
" Huh? Why? " King asked.
The guy smiled " Orders".
King was thinking what he meant by that till Diana talked.
"YOU!! YOU'RE FROM THE REAPER CLAN!! YOU KILLED MY CLAN MATES!! "
The guy smiled again " Ohh man it's such an honor. Someone from the assassin clan know about us... such an ho-" he stopped when he saw Diana already in front of him making a slashing motion.
'She's Fast' He thought. 'Not that fast though'
" DIE!! " Diana yelled as he perform the slash.
But her attempt was unsuccessful since the grim reaper just dodge the slash effortlessly by stepping back. Diana didn't stopped and continued with her barrages of slashes which was all dodge by the guy by running around like he was just dancing.
"Don't move damn it!!" " She yelled in frustration.
" Okay" The guy said as he stood still.
Diana who saw this quickly ran toward him and slashed him vertically which is successful!!..... but not really. The sword hit him yes but it just pass through his body like nothing. No body nor bones, the sword just passed his whole body.
"My turn" The guy said as he raised his scythe and attempted to slash her only to found his target missing as she disappeared.
'Huh what happened' He thought as he look around. And there he saw King holding Diana like princess. 'Whats that? I didn't even see him. I know his fast but I never thought his this fast' the reaper thought.
"Hey King put me down!! " Diana said in embarrassment.
"Okay okay" He said as he place Diana on the ground.
" What was that? " King thought.
"Yeah... My sword just pass through him" Diana said.
"Wonderful!! I never knew you're that fast. I've saw you move in fast speed during your matches but I never knew your hiding your real skill" The guy just yelled. " Say young man.. how about a Spar??" The grim reaper asked.
'Huh? What matches? Did he saw my school matches?' He thought.
" Diana stay put and be calm.. I don't know what his clan did to yours but be calm or you'll die" King said to him as he stood in a battle stance. Diana on the other hand was silent.
" Yes Yes that's the spirit!! This will be the best fight of your life ...King" He said with a smirk.
" Say grim reaper ...you saw me fight??" King asked.
"Yes... I saw it in a video... man you we're so slow in the first video but you became fast during the 2nd one. But now you're 10x faster. It really excites me" The guy said with a hint of excitement in his voice. "Say King... What does hiding your powers make to you? Your skills are so good why hide it? You could've killed those people who bullied and look down on you anytime you want it but you just let them step on you. Why? " The guy said.
He thought for a bit "I don't know actually... he paused " They just don't worth my time I think" King said
" Hahahaha good point" The guy laughed.
" Well enough chatting and start fighting"
He said.
King didn't say anything and get to his stance.
