Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

Chained in cavern (202)

17 minutes and 37 seconds before the courtyard caved in.

As the tunic wrapped around his body, Kai watched Umbra run up the hall of ice and to the left. She probably had the worst role to fulfill, she practically had to play hide and seek and explore the whole castle without being discovered.

At least she had a rough idea of the area of the castle that she had to search, meanwhile Kai had a guide to lead him to his first destination.

Kai felt some of his Mana replenish when he put some of the stats from the Stat Bead into his Mana stat. He had put majority into Strength and Stamina, but he still had to put some into Mana so it could recover quicker, just in case.

It was only after he was in the hallway did he realise just how spacious this prison of ice actually was.

There were about a dozen cells of ice on either side, all of them empty bar the one Kai had been in. He also realised that his was the only one with a collar in it, and that his cell was at the very end of the hallway.

"Well Remy?" Kai grinned as he placed his hands on his hips, taking a deep breath and enjoying the fresh smell of freedom.

"How about you show me where this little monster that Ezekial has is?"

Remy let out a small squeak before running off, not waiting for Kai to follow.

They led Kai down the hallway and through a wall of pure ice. It wasn't even a painting, just a wall that they could walk through. Kai wondered to himself how many secret rooms could he have missed since thought he could only walk through paintings.

And just like that, Kai had returned to the main areas of the castle.

The familiar red carpet covering the floor, the grim and creepy paintings of Castillian decorating the walls, the dimly lit candles hanging from every side of him.

Yep, this was the place that he was going to destroy.

Following behind Remy, Kai remained completetly silent, as did his rat guide. He looked out a window and spotted that it was night outside, meaning that he had accidently timed his escape perfectly. Most of the maids and servants would all be asleep at this time, making navigating the castle a little easier.

However, just because all the maids would be asleep didn't mean navigating the castle would be that easy.

Just before his rat guide turned a corner, Remy froze. Even their tail, which would always be moving, was completetly still.

Curiously, Kai creeped up behind the rat and peeked his head around the corner, only to catch the figure of someone with blue hair rounding the corner down the hall.

Kai grinned slightly before overtaking Remy.

"We just got a deal buddy, we get a free show of whatevers about to happen."

Remy climbed up Kai's leg, clinging to their tunic before finally reaching their shoulder and lying down. Their role was practically over now, considering that they would be following Ezekial instead of him.

Kai followed behind Ezekial. He was far enough that he would only catch glimpses of the direction that they went. He also made sure not to get to close either, incase Ezekial somehow sensed them.

After tailing Ezekial for a while, Kai peered around another corner, only to see Ezekial walk through a wall.

Panicking slightly, Kai hurried his pace to the wall and poked his head through, only to see a gargantuan stone door semi open.

He couldn't see Ezekial at all, but he could see another thing that was making him panic.

He had no idea how the physics behind it worked, or even how it was possible, but the stone door was swinging shut.
