K: The 6th King [1]

Chapter 6 II: Keeper

•Aon, CARNIVAL's number 2•

Sukuna Gojo and Yukari Mishakuji. There is no tactics for when we are to fight them for they have only one battle style.

Fight your enemies with brute force.

They have much confidence on their own abilities, making them stronger but reckless too. The two Green Clansmen are a force to be reckoned with as they're approaching us with great speed and enough time to spare for their King to come any minute now. Saruhiko Fushimi, the SCEPTER 4's number 3, has been pulling down traps on them to slow the Green Clansmen down but it doesn't seem to be working.

The Clansmen had already pass us a long time ago. It was only me and Yui at the entrance. My King has instructed us to wait by the Cloud Hall for it won't be the Green King who will be passing alone.

I don't know who else would be passing by but orders are orders. I would stop that person from getting through if my King orders it.

A few moments went by as we waited. Yui was still on guard, not giving any chance to rest. That's when it happen.

A mist began covering the room and blinded us from seeing anything. The sound of shoes hitting the ground made it clear that someone had arrived.

I couldn't see anything and it made me uncomfortable. Could this be the power of another King?

"That's enough," I said. "Now, Yui!"

I have the ability to control electricity and Yui the ability to control the air around her, considering that we're both strains.

Yui made the mist disappear and I had visual target on the enemy. A man that looks to be like his 40-years-old was standing in front of us.

I shot a bolt of electricity towards him when he continued to move forward but he managed to block it. Every attempt we make, he just deflect it with ease. He didn't even make a move to hit us. It's like he doesn't want to fight us at all.

I looked towards Yui and signaled for her. She had understand what I meant and began merging our abilities with our purple aura.

At the same time, we hit the man from the back. The aura around him that was made as a shield broke so we took the chance to hit him.

I shot another bolt of lightning towards him, managing to hit his back.

"I'm amaze," The man said. "Is this the power of the Purple Clan, CARNIVAL."

And as soon as he said those words he disappeared into the mist. We got distracted on fighting him that we didn't even notice the mist had come back. How did he manage to leave unscathed by my attack?

Yui was about to run after him again but I stopped her.

"There's no point, Yui." I said. "He's a King. Let him go, our King will handle this."

•Yui Hitami, CARNIVAL's number 3•

Who was the man that pass by just now. He looked to be 40-years-old. His power to deflect and leaving unscathed by Aon's lightning move was unbelievable.

So far, the only people who can actually avoid them are the twins but now this man manage to deflect them with ease. It's no mistake, he's a King.

But which King?

It couldn't be the Gold King as he only died recently and if it were to be the Colorless King, it doesn't suite him either.

The Colorless King's power changes with each incarnation. The previous Colorless King is able to posses others and the one before that had powers of clairvoyance.

Even so, the power to summon fog and mist doesn't seem to be the type of power for the Colorless King.

Could it be that another King that we don't know of exist?

"Aon, which King is he?"

"Sixth," he replied quickly.

I stood confused by the answer. Wasn't our King the sixth. How could he be the sixth when ours is the sixth King.

As if Aon read my mind he answered it for me.

"He is the half-sixth King, just like Eon and Ion," he said.

"What?!" I shouted, "How is that even possible?"

"It is what it is as you hear," Aon continued to say. "The Purple King and the Grey King used to share the title of being the sixth King. Information like this is suppose to be a secret for a reason so keep it to yourself."

"So who is the real sixth King,"

"Neither," he said. "It couldn't be decided. The slate chose the Purple and Grey King at the same time when the Gold King brought the slate to Japan.

"So do we also follow the Grey King?"

He looked at me weirdly like I had grown two heads.

"You're kidding me, right?" was his reply.

I shrugged. How would I know. Our King doesn't even trust their own clansmen enough to tell about this. We know nothing of the hearts of our King. They must not want anyone to interfere.
