Just as the soldiers spoke, Kai put his hands behind his back, mocking the soldiers with his confidence. "Come at me with all you got," Kai taunts the soldiers.
The soldiers, angered by Kai's mocking stance, pulled out their swords and charged at him with a loud battle cry.
As the soldiers rushed towards Kai, a satisfied smile appeared on Aiden's face, confident in his impending victory. The soldiers grew closer to Kai. Luna flew behind him as he stood still with his hands behind his back.
"Remember, you're the one who told me to fight," Kai reminded Luna.
With a fierce battle cry, the soldier on the front lunged forward, delivering a cruel strike with his sword aimed at Kai.
Suddenly, a loud impact voice came, causing the soldier's hand to freeze in mid-air. The soldier dropped his sword to the ground, causing the other soldiers to stop in shock.
Aiden, unable to see what had happened, stood up from his chair and looked. He finally noticed the soldier who had attempted to attack Kai. Kai delivered a kick to the soldier's chest, breaking through his armour. Shards of armour fall from the soldier's chest onto the ground as Kai maintains his kicking posture.
The soldier spits out a large amount of blood on Kai's leg, his eyes going completely white as he falls to the ground, frightening the other soldiers and Aiden. The soldiers and Aiden looked at the fallen soldier in disbelief.
Suddenly, they heard Kai's mocking voice cutting through the tense atmosphere. "Still want to fight?" He taunted with his unwavering confidence.
"Capture him at once!" Aiden commanded his soldiers. The soldiers quickly obeyed, surrounding Kai in a circle.
************************************************
In the house where Kai had stayed the previous night, Eiera and Rin sat at the dining table with a warm breakfast, both enjoying the meal, unaware of the outside chaos.
Suddenly, a loud impact echoed through the house. Eiera looked alarmed and asked, "What was that?"
"Probably nothing," Rin tried to calm Eiera's nerves.
Hiroshi burst open the house door, his face tense and out of breath from running. Eiera and Rin immediately stood up, concern etched on their faces as they saw Hiroshi's state.
Hiroshi, struggling to breathe, stammered, "K...K..." He couldn't speak coherently.
Rin quickly grabbed a glass of water and offered it to Hiroshi, "Here, drink."
Hiroshi drank the water eagerly, taking deep, long breaths to calm himself. After a moment, he looked up at Eiera and Rin, his expression still tense.
"What happened, Hiroshi," Eiera urged urgently, her concern evident in her voice.
Hiroshi, still catching his breath, managed to say, "He's here."
Eiera's eyes widened in alarm, "Who's here? Hiroshi."
Hiroshi replied, "The King's son, and he has come with a hundred soldiers to capture Brother Kai."
Rin spoke, "Don't worry, my brother can handle anyone." Rin assures Hiroshi about Kai's strength.
"We still can't take any chances, Rin," Eiera spoke with urgency.
************************************************
Meanwhile, Kai had incapacitated every single soldier without even using his hands, leaving the soldiers on the ground, bleeding and unable to continue their pursuit.
"So, when are you going to try?" Kai mocked Aiden.
Aiden, shocked by Kai's strength, suddenly started to smile, his eyes started to glow in blue colour as he spoke. "I'm impressed, but it's time for you to know you're place."
Aiden pulled out his sword, his sword glowing with a blue aura emanating from his magic. In response, Kai brought his hand out from behind his back and raised his arm in the air, silently calling for the Eternal Blade. In just seconds, the blade responded, flying into Kai's hand out of nowhere.
Luna whispered in Kai's ear, "Kai, you don't have to do this anymore."
Kai responded, "I had enough of this guy." As Kai spoke, his grip on the Eternal Blade grew tighter.
