Into The Reality

Chapter 27:- Facing off A King

Kichu woke up after a long nap.

"Ugh... is it morning yet?" Kichu yawned.

"Get ready fast, brat. We have to go," Roco said, sipping his coffee.

"Oh, you're a disciplined man," Kichu teased as he walked out of his room.

"Why did you want to leave so early?" Hinko asked, stepping into the hall.

"It's not safe to stay here anymore," Kichu said, brushing his teeth.

"Is there something I should know?" Hinko crossed his arms. Kichu glanced at Roco.

"We met him," Roco said quietly.

"Who?"

"The King," Roco answered. Hinko's face immediately shifted to shock.

"What? You met the King? Where?!" Panic was clear in his voice. "Did he see the sword?"

"I think so," Kichu said.

"Pack your things. We're leaving now," Hinko said urgently, pulling out a transmitter.

"Why are you panicking? I know he's strong, but I'm a master at escaping," Kichu said casually.

"No, you don't understand. If he saw the sword, he will come for you. He can find you and kill you instantly. I'm calling Fizz right now," Hinko said and quickly dialed.

"I have a feeling we're going to have to face him anyway," Kichu mumbled, grabbing his things.

"I spoke to Fizz. He's coming right away," Hinko said. "Now hurry up!"

"Yeah, yeah," Kichu muttered as he walked into the elevator with Roco and Hinko.

As the elevator doors slid open, they were met with a shocking sight - soldiers filling the ground floor.

Kichu and Roco froze.

"I recommend you come quietly," one of the soldiers said.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Kichu tried to grab his sword, but a blade was already pressed against his neck.

"Bad idea," the soldier warned.

"Now, move," he said, pushing them forward.

"Hey, 'Escape Master', got any plans?" Roco whispered.

"You little shit, why'd you brag me into this?" Hinko hissed.

"I didn't know this was going to happen!" Kichu whispered back.

"Do something, asshole," Roco said under his breath.

"Silence!" a soldier barked.

"Uh... Mr. Soldier, where are we going?" Kichu asked casually.

"To the castle."

Kichu looked at Roco and gave a helpless smile. "Oh, we're so screwed."

Roco started scanning the soldiers. "Can we even pull this off? There's like a thousand of them. And a lot of them have Sins," he whispered.

"Wait for the right moment," Kichu whispered back.

The castle grew closer as they walked through the city. Kichu kept looking around. Suddenly, a small breeze brushed past him. He turned to see a soldier disappearing into thin air. Kichu smiled and nodded at Roco.

Roco understood immediately. He activated his elemental shield and fired water droplets everywhere, creating confusion. Kichu rushed to the cart where his sword was tied, kicking the guard and grabbing it.
