Chapter 44 - Chapter 44 : Children's Day Out

While all of this was going on, Seiya was busy preparing for the breakout on his end. The children that were watching him saw that he was busy up against the wall pressing his hands on it.

'' What're you doing? ''

The children asked with great curiosity to Seiya, they had no idea what he was doing and whatever it had been wasn't too obvious. The young prince had been trying to concentrate but their speaking had caused his concentration to be broken.

'' I'm trying to break down the walls between the chambers so I can get to all the children on this side of the hallway. They can't handle all of us if we all break out simultaneously and if they come at us, I'll be a diversion to ensure you can all escape. Worry not, I have your guys back. ''

Seiya returned to his previous act, trying to bring about enough cold energy to freeze the wall that he was touching and with their relative silence he was able to do so finally. He still felt a bit loose due to the mind control that was placed on him up until recently but he was getting his bearings back slowly.

After the wall was completely frozen, Seiya took several steps back before running into the wall and demolishing it. The children on the other side of the wall were spooked and the guards outside thought they heard something but they just assumed it was their imagination for the time being since sound didn't travel too well behind the thick doors.

'' Worry not, I'm here to help you all escape. ''

Seiya told the children on the other end of the wall. There were obviously more children to repeat this to and he'd do so whenever he had gone to a new room by using the same method. He continued busting down the walls in the same manner until he had reached the end of the rooms where the last wall was far too thick which indicated there was nothing but earth on the other end.

'' We've reached the end of this side. There are more kids on the other side of the hallway right? If so then I will have to finally break this door down. ''

Seiya tried to freeze the door and smash it but there was something different about these doors that made it impossible. These doors had a strange attribute that didn't allow him to follow-through and he stopped trying after a certain amount of time passed. It just wasn't happening and he had to tackle this from a different angle.

'' This door isn't budging but the material around the door is fine. If that's the case I'll just have to make a new door myself but that just makes another set of problems for me. How will I destroy the other prison rooms to let the kids out when there'll be Dark Hand soldiers ready to intercept me? I can't take it easy like this. Wait, I got it. The solution is so simple. ''

The male proceeded to destroy the wall near the doors, busting himself out and the children that poured out through the hole he had made as the various soldiers standing guard had noticed him and the kids. Seiya channeled the power of a certain technique for a moment, striking fear into the soldier's hearts as his spirit energy amplified itself but luckily Seiya had not aimed for them as he transformed if only for a moment.

'' Azure Legend. ''

Unlike the last time he had wielded this power, he had swayed his hand from left to right in the direction of the hallway opposite to the one he had entered and by doing so, he created several sparkling star shaped explosive projectiles only possible by absorbing Friegen's power through the Azure Legend.

In one fell swoop, all of the rooms containing children were now broken open, allowing all of them to run free. Seiya had ran towards the guards while shooting out a barrage of frozen shards to impede their progress and for a while it was working up until the moment a woman appeared.

'' One problem after another. How ridiculous this is. ''

The woman was none other than the very one that abducted Seiya in the first place, the Dark Hand Commander who was busy trying to locate the intruder. Her eyes now fell upon Seiya who broke out all the children, now the sole focused victim of her ensuing wrath.

'' Those powers, you must be the prince of these lands. If that's the case then the intruder I was told about must've been your accomplice. Very well, I will deal with you first and then the intruder. This won't take me long, I am nothing like that inconsequential nobody that you fought a month ago. Prepare to submit under my will. ''
