Eclipse (Connected As One) AkashixOC

Chapter 40

Aya was silently standing on the side, listening to Furihata and Kiryu explaining the rotation of the barbarians where the slaves were

"Aya-san, you aren't listening at all" Hisame whispered to her "who are those two anyways?"

"They aren't supposed to be here. Furihata-kun is from here in this world but accidentally teleported to earth, the other world where I grew up, but Kiryu, he is from that world. He shouldn't be here. We left them in Earth"

"We can't save all the slaves right now" they all looked at Akashi, who was seriously looking at Furihata "it will alert the enemies. We can get you two out at the very least"

"Then, return here later and save us, in exchange, there's someone I want you to save instead" Furihata anxiously told him

"Furihata-kun, don't tell me, that..?" Kiryu looked at Furihata, and somehow anxious

"Who?" Akashi and Aya curiously asked

Furihata pointed towards the deeper part of the cave, then looked at Akashi "Kiryu-kun and I accidentally found him when we were trying to get out of here. That guy, I heard that he was being held here for around 20 years already."

"..."

"But how can they save him? He is big, and he also have these shackles that will blow out if you get out of this kingdom." Kiryu responded, showing his own shackles on his hands, feet, and neck.

"You sure have some crazy accessories there" Hisame commented then approached him, touched the shackles and chuckled "yeah, it will blow off your neck."

"Right? We saw someone who tried to escape before and..."

"And their flesh just flew off, blood around" Hisame chuckled but received a glare from Aya "Aya-san, Don't glare at me"

"Then stop with that gore conversation and do something about those shackles!"

"Seijurou-san can do about them, not me" Hisame responded then smiled at Akashi "right?

"Yeah, it's easy to remove, but we need to go far from here. I was able to remove mine a while ago because it was just me and the barbarians had incident today." Akashi responded then looked at Furihata and Kiryu "then, who is it you wanted to save instead?"

"We don't know his name. We just heard that he's been captivated here for 20 years already. He's only eating once per year. They said he couldn't die, but even still... he might die if you take off his shackles" Furihata responded then looked down "we saw him, and we couldn't help but just feel bad. We tried talking to him, but he wasn't saying anything."

Akashi crossed his arms then smiled "change of plan. We can't save anyone, but let's put barrier instead. Barriers to lock this kingdom. And they will not be able to enter the area where the slaves are."

"Eh?" They all looked at him, confused to what he meant, except for Aya who understood what he meant

"A total lockdown, a barrier like Munerum kingdom. They can't leave the kingdom, and no one can enter. Then a barrier as well to protect the people being held" she explained then chuckled. She approached Akashi, then held his hand "then, let's lock this kingdom"

Akashi nodded and immediately, the two activated their barrier and expanded it to the whole kingdom. They also put a barried on the cave.

"There are few them inside... also..." Aya commented then looked at Akashi "you felt it too, right?"

"Yeah, but let's think about that later." Akashi responded then looked at the others "we're done, we also put barrier already here. No one can enter and go out of this kingdom aside from us. So before we meet this big guy you mentioned let's remove all your shackles and give them as a present to these brainless barbarians left here"
