Beside Kaito there was a table, on top of it there was a small knife and a gold glass. The old man took a small knife and sliced Kaito's right hand's vein, he put the glass closer to his vein and like a red thread, blood flowed inside the gold glass till it was full.
After filling the glass, he put back the glass on the table while leaving his vein just like that to let the blood flow on the ground.
The door of the room opened, the old man quickly hid the blood he collected in glass inside his ring. "What are you doing?" Kaito heard the emperor's voice, as he hoped the emperor was going to save him, it didn't take long to get his hopes shattered as he heard him saying, "How long will you take to kill him and make him my puppet?"
"Forgive me your majesty, I was waiting for you."
In a low painful voice, "Your Majesty! Why?" Kaito said.
Without replying the emperor went to his grandfather and stood beside him. Following the emperor's order the old man took his knife, sending his wind energy in the knife he covered the knife edge with a thin layer of sharp moving wind. Thinking as normal people Kaito's heart would also be located at the left side of his chest, he stabbed the knife in his chest.
Entering inside the first layer of Kaito's skin the knife stopped as if it collided with a hard rock inside his body, thinking it was Kaito's sternum protecting his heart, the old man pressed the knife. But the knife didn't budge. Seeing the old man struggling to kill Kaito, the emperor shouted, "What are you doing? What is taking you so long?"
In a quaver voice, "Your majesty, kn..the knife is not going inside his heart." the old man replied.
"Tsk! You can't even do simple work." He turned toward his warrior who came along with him, "Lift him against the wall and move aside."
As the warrior was making Kaito stand vertically, Kaito was thinking, 'Why are you trying so hard to kill me? It was my biggest mistake to use my second power in front of him. Grandfather was right, I shouldn't have used it. Well, at least it looks like they won't harm my grandfather.' A tear of drop came out of his eyes while his eyes were fixed on his grandfather so that he could at least him till his last moment.
The emperor saw ease on Kaito's face as he was looking toward his grandfather, "At first I thought of letting you pass away easily, but as you are making it so hard for me to kill you, I changed my mind."
He looked toward Kaito's grandfather, "Hey, you, wake up. Your act was better than the effect that old man put to kill him."
Hearing the emperor talking to his grandfather Kaito was puzzled. Soon his grandfather followed the emperor's order, stood up and greeted the emperor. Kaito's mind went blank.
He was already feeling tired from the blood non-stop flowing out of his body, but forcing himself to gather his strength, he thought of freeing himself from the chains again to protect his grandfather but when he saw laughing while talking to the emperor, at that moment in instinct his body lost all of his strength.
"I'm still angry at you, how can you not report me to the existence of someone like him to me?" the emperor continued, "But as it was your first mistake, I will not mind it but mind it in future."
"Yes, your majesty. And thank you for forgiving me."
Seeing his grandfather talking to the emperor, an unfamiliar feeling was evolving inside him.
The emperor walked toward Kaito, "If you have a hard time processing what is going on then let me tell you, you see the one you thought was your grandfather actually works for me."
With a smirk on his face he continued, "You know decades ago I found a man capable of rivaling me, but after killing him when I dug out about his background, I came to know he was from an orphanage. It makes me think, a lot of talent that I can make use of may be going into waste and from there I came up with the idea of opening an orphanage. If the child has a good amount of talent, we secretly help them to train so that in future they help us."
"Yes, one more thing you know the funny part is I don't spend a single penny to run the orphanage. As the talented child helps in maintaining and expanding our power, the talentless child helps us to get gold coins to run the orphanage. You might be thinking how, simply we trade the worthless to the rich family as slaves, that's it."
Hearing all this was making him angry, but as more blood flowed out of his body, even expressing his anger was hard for him. And to make him suffer more the emperor continued, "But you are different, you are the kind of thing I have seen for the first time. Users with more than one type, and I want full control over you. After killing you, I will make you my puppet so you can only use your power however I want."
Other than listening to the emperor Kaito wasn't able to do anything, but soon even the voice of the emperor was fading away. Half of the room floor was covered in his blood, slowly his body was feeling numb it was hard for him to even keep his eyes open.
After saying all that, the emperor took a spear out of his ring. Making some distance between himself and Kaito he aimed the sharp tip of the spear toward the left side of Kaito's chest. To kill Kaito in a single blow, he transferred his fire energy inside the spear. A fire layer formed above the sharp tip of the spear. He threw the spear at the center of Kaito's left chest.
As the spear came closer to his chest, a fire barrier formed around him. The spear collided with the fire barrier, a small fire shock wave created there, it broke the chain tying Kaito's left hand. But this time Kaito's fire barrier was not powerful enough to block the emperor's attack. Soon the spear went through his chest, and a blast occurred as the spear pierced his chest.
"BOOM!" A massive wave with bright light emerged, taking apart the wall and roof of the room, it sent Kaito flying up away from there. All of the people inside the room bent down and put their hands on them while covering their whole body with a thin layer of their energy barrier.
With the energy barrier, the emperor, the old man who took Kaito's blood and his so-called grandfather manage to protect themself but the warrior closer to Kaito was sent flying backward. He collided with the brick wall along with the wall he fell down twenty meters away from there. He managed to reduce damage with the help of his energy barrier but still the bones of his knees broke.
But the two Royal Guards standing outside the room, weren't able to cover their body with the Occult power. Both of them lying dead with their broken bodies on the ground just behind where the warrior fell down.
While standing up, "What just happened?" the emperor said. All of them stood in an open space as the wave completely destroyed the room. All of them were in completely dark surroundings with a sky without a single star and without a moon.
The emperor used his fire energy and made a floating fireball, lighting up ignoring people around, he looked toward Kaito. There was no one in front of him, he looked around a few steps toward his back, there his spear was on the ground broken in half, it was the back part of the spear.
"I said." Raising his voice, "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" the emperor shouted. The old man and Kaito so-called were standing up but hearing the loud voice of the emperor, they went back on their knees. While shouting he continued, "Look around and find him."
"Yes, your majesty." Both of them replied. Moving the wall away from himself, his warrior came out from below the wall and started searching for Kaito.
In a state similar to death, with the speed close to the falcon, Kaito was flying away from there toward the border of Northern and Southern Empire. The tip of the spear thrown by the emperor was inside his left part of chest, blocking the blood from coming out. After ten seconds his speed slowed down, with slow speed he was approaching the valley near the border.
A few seconds later as he was above the valley, his body started going down, a dark energy in form of black wave was pulling him down in the valley. His speed slowly started to rise as he was going down, going through the haze of the valley his body made contact with the water.
