Good reading

Kai heard a noise behind him and turned round quickly to look at the face of the man with the nasty wounds. His hair was tied back and his clothes were covered in blood. His beard was also a bit long. He looked just like that person. This man in front of him also had an axe in his hand. Next to him were the men Kai had just seen. They were all giving Emma the stink eye. Their intentions were not good. Emma's young age was just a number to them. Prison was not a place they could go.

"You think you can escape?" the man's voice was as disgusting as it could ever be.

Kai couldn't stop thinking about the little girl who died in the hospital as he looked at that man's face. Deep down, he was experiencing all the emotions at once. Anger, love, fear, fear, excitement, curiosity and peace...

As Kai felt all the emotions, the colour of his eyes changed once again, but strangely this time his eyes were not red. There was no lightning bolt travelling towards his pupil. His eyes were completely purple!

Kai's eyes were purple this time. At the same time, Kai could feel the power radiating from his eyes. His body was again in the form of a grim reaper like before. His white skin and red lips were the same as before. His snow-white hair also fluttered in the wind.

Kai didn't know much about this transformation, but he was sure Jace knew something about it. He decided that if he managed to get out of here, he should ask him what this transformation was.

As Kai looked at the group of twenty in front of him, he realised that time was running out, but there seemed to be nothing he could do, he had to rely on this form and defeat this man.

"I guess we don't need to talk," Kai said. The evil smile on Kai's face was not something he did on purpose. It didn't belong to him. Kai had never smiled like that in his life, but it seemed to be working. The men were scared.

"One for 21? I'd better join in, or there's going to be trouble." Kai suddenly heard a voice and turned his head towards a black-haired boy of about 16, about the same height as Kai, whose green eyes glowed as he looked 20 metres away.

Yes, such a long description was unnecessary at a moment like this.

This young boy was Jace. His eyes were glowing green. When he turned his head towards Kai, his face became strange. He was obviously surprised by Kai's appearance and became thoughtful.

"Hmm, I don't know what this is, but we'll ask when we get to the academy."

Kai nodded and looked at the 21 people. They all looked stronger than each other. Turning his head again, he saw Jace coming up to him.

"Are your eyes green?"

"Yeah, everyone has green eyes except you."

"Okay, so what's the plan?"

"You take them and I'll handle it."

Kai didn't understand what Jace said at first. Was he going to fight these men, all stronger than each other, alone? Even with the powers of emotions, Jace couldn't beat these guys. Because Kai was in the way! Kai was a Kingslayer, but who had protected him until now? Who had placed a stone on Kai that blocked his growth plates? The stone had been broken when Kai had entered his purple-eyed state, but Jace hadn't yet regained his full strength. Still, he wanted to fight alone.

Kai looked at him gratefully.

When he turned to the others, Jack was awake but holding his arm. Kevin had recovered. Emma was unchanged. Kai looked at Jack.

"Can you walk?" Jack looked at Kai's face and nodded. He breathed a sigh of relief as he slowly removed his hand from his arm.

"Don't worry, ahh!" Kai quickly took Jack's arm.

"I'll take Jack, you take Emma." Kevin said.

Kai immediately took Emma in his arms.

"Where are we going?" asked Kevin.

"Let's get away from here for now." said Kai and started running. After about 300 metres he looked back. He could barely see anything. His purple eyes were closed and his normal body was left. But even this body had had its share of sports and life and death situations that Kai had done all this time. They were moving fast enough.

Jace was struggling. He'd killed 6 of the 21 men. The rest were attacking at the same time, so he was struggling.

"I'll come to your rescue."

After Kai and the others had moved about 700-800 metres further, Kai thought of the old tree house he had spent with Jack and Kevin. He immediately headed towards it. He believed that the people around would be more dangerous than the tree house.

After Kai and the others had moved another 200 metres, Emma in Kai's arms began to move. Suddenly opening her eyes and seeing Kai, a brief smile formed on her face.

"Ahhh!!!"

Brief smile...

Kai looked at Emma as she moaned. Her beautiful face was wrinkled with pain. She probably cared more about her head wound than being in Kai's arms.

Kai flinched when Emma looked at Kai's face. He thought her face had taken on the evil purple eye and angel of death shape again. Kai was afraid she would be shocked if she suddenly saw something like that when the girl didn't know anything yet.

Kai heard Emma's tired voice.

"K-Kai???" she said, her voice filled with a fear that was hard to understand. Kai realised at that moment that he was covered in blood. Emma's clothes and especially Kevin's were soaked in blood.

"Don't worry, nothing's wrong. You're safe now." Kai smiled warmly and Emma smiled back and tried to stand up. Of course she had no idea what had happened. She only had a premonition of future pain, but she didn't understand how or why.

Emma held her head. Kevin and Jack weren't in her line of sight. That's why she couldn't see their wounds. When she put her hand to her head, Kai thought she was about to pass out again.

"We're almost there, just wait a little longer. "

When Kai saw the tree house, he started to speed up his steps.

When they arrived in front of the tree house, this time they had to ensure that Emma and Jack could go up. Emma's leg was injured. Surely she couldn't climb straight up.

"Kevin, you get the first aid kit, I'll get Jace," Kai said. In the past his mum had told him to keep a first aid kit in the tree house. Someone falling out of the tree house could cause some pretty bad injuries.

Kevin nodded his head quickly and Kai started running back the way they had come. Jace was still in a difficult position.

As they ran, Kai's eye began to glow again. First the yellow lightning, representing fear, lit up at the top. Only the bases were visible, but in the future they would be lightning touching the pupil. Then two more lightning bases appeared on either side, representing curiosity and excitement. Meanwhile, Kai's eyes were red and he was moving more agilely due to fear. Then, under the excitement, the anger lightning base burned. Love and peace did not.

While running, Kai was also thinking.

'When I said I was going to pick up Jace, did I make it sound like I was going to buy fruit at the greengrocer's?'

'I think that's what you said.

Kai was shocked by the voice he suddenly heard. He immediately started to look around while running, but there was no one around. For a moment he wondered if this voice had something to do with the person who had disguised himself as Emma when he was unconscious before. Ervin.

Kai put an end to these thoughts when he saw Jace. He sped up even more. He wanted to attack in an impressive way at an unexpected moment. He even thought about doing moves he'd seen in films. It wasn't as if his life was in danger at that moment.

Jace had fallen to his knees and the man with the axe and another man were standing over him, the other man had a pistol in his hand. The pistol was a bit strange, it had different shapes on it and it looked like it was rigged differently. It looked like there was poison at the end of the barrel.

Surely Kai was sure that these were not people to joke with. One wrong move and that would be the end of the story.

The axe murderer couldn't help the smile on his face when he saw Kai. He'd thought he'd already escaped.

Jace spat the blood from his mouth into the eyes of the one holding the barrel.

The killer swung his axe, and a few inches before it hit Kai, everything slowed and stopped an inch away. Kai had slowed time. Or rather, he thought he had.

He immediately threw a very hard uppercut at the killer. Despite the slowing of time, the man flew into the air, but he slowed in the air before he hit the ground. He was moving very slowly, but you could tell he was still flying upwards.

Kai's gaze snapped to where Jace was at the sound of gunfire.

There was no time. Kai realised by then that he hadn't done this time slowing thing himself. That person called Ervin must have been doing it. He had mobilised the emotion of love and made him heal very quickly, and now he was using fear to slow down time. Kai could see the bullet was about to pierce Jack's head.

He pulled it out. Not fast enough. The poisoned bullet grazed his skin. Kai knew they didn't have time. He took the axe from the man. No time to think. His hand trembled. His body broke out in a cold sweat. He tried to stop himself. But he shouldn't. Even without seeing the future, he could understand what was happening.

He had to kill to survive. If Kai didn't kill him, he wouldn't be fast enough to dodge a bullet. Time was speeding up.

Kai understood. Ervin wanted him dead. He was driving him to desperation.

He had no choice.

The axe came down. The gunman's head was cut in half in one stroke.

It was a horrific scene, no doubt.

The moment Kai cut off the man's head, time returned. Kai threw the axe away from the killer, who fell hard to the ground. It seemed to stick to his hand. But he didn't freeze. He didn't have time. He and Jace approached him.

"You're gonna die," Kai said. The axe-less man laughed. There was no doubt about it. But it was the first time this boy had ever killed anyone. He wasn't going to be that brave.

"I know, I won't beg," said the killer. After all this time, someone like him had already given up his own life. Kai slowly looked at the man. All the lightning bases in Kai's eyes slowly disappeared, leaving only curiosity at the end.

"I just want to ask you one thing.... Why? " he sighed.

"For others to be happy while I'm unhappy... It's so unfair. If I'm sad, so are they. At least that's all I can tell you. That's why I did it. Can you understand that? "

He washed the blood off his face. Jace tore his throat out. Kai looked at him sadly. His eyes returned to normal. He couldn't understand. Kai couldn't understand.

He believed it was revenge. For all the people who died. But he didn't realise that not understanding him would lead to the deaths of so many more.

Killing was easy. Understanding was the hard part.

"Come on, we need to tend to our wounds. "

Kai and Jace left. They left behind an environment that would shock the human world.
