Chapter 30 Kiro, The Princess Guard Part 1
Asura Kingdom,
"Ahhh! Run away….."
A man wearing a black mask shouted while running away. It was inside a giant red building. The entire body was filled with dead bodies.
Blood covered the ground and walls. There was nothing but chaos inside. Several assassins were running away.
But, before they could leave the house, a sharp sword slashed them. It was moving so fast that it was almost invisible.
There was a man holding that sword.
He was the one moving at a speed that was almost invisible to the eyes. His hand moved and stabbed.
When it stabbed once, it took one life.
When it stabbed ten times, it took ten lives.
The slaughter didn't end until there was no chaos in the entire building.
The ground was covered with dead bodies and in the middle of the ground, a man was wearing red armor.
He stood like a God of War.
His red sword was dripping blood on the ground. His face was pale. His eyes looked sharp like swords and his face had no expression at all.
He moved his sword and pulled the chin of a man up. Although his sword touched that chin with a sharp tip, it didn't hurt him at all.
This level of control was insane.
He looked at the man whose mask was already removed. He was a middle-aged man.
"Now tell me, who gave you the task to kill the princess?"
Hearing his question, the middle-aged man blankly stared at him.
At this moment, he realized something.
The man standing in front of him was no ordinary man. He was the princess's only guard.
Yes, the princess of the Asura Kingdom, the heart of the Asura Kingdom had only one guard.
But, no one dared to even trouble her.
Because this guard wasn't an ordinary man.
At this moment, he couldn't help but remember the incident that happened nearly thirteen years ago.
At that time, the princess was only four years old. She was kidnapped by a group of people who eyed the wealth of the Royal Family.
This group wasn't a normal group. It was a group that was constantly trying to overthrow the Royal Family.
There were over one hundred thousand people in that group.
And, this man.... This man slaughtered them all.
One Hundred Thousand People died in a single day.
It was even more devastating than most of the wars between races.
And, this happened before the princess was kidnapped.
Asura King didn't want to kill them but he couldn't keep this man from killing them.
There was one taboo in this kingdom.
And, that taboo was making the princess unhappy when this man was near her.
It wasn't because he was stronger than the king.
It was said that Queen chose this man for her daughter. Not only he was the top talent of the Asura Kingdom but also received the guidance of the king and queen.
He wasn't the strongest one but he was the deadliest one.
Nobody can offend the princess and live when this man is alive.
That's why the middle-aged man knew that his fate was to die at the hands of this man.
In fact, the entire Dark Blood Faction knew that. But, they still took on this task.
No, they didn't take on this task. They were created for this task.
The man who raised them, the man who gave them everything and helped them grow. That man had one task.
And, they had a chance to complete this task a few days ago.
After all, this man wasn't with the princess.
That was the golden moment so there was no way they would hesitate. It's just that they didn't want to gain the attention of the King.
After all, if the strong people from his faction move, then the King would immediately notice it and send people to stop them.
So, he chose the five most qualified but also weak assassins to kill the princess.
Now that the task had already failed, there was nothing they could do.
Knowing all this, the middle-aged man slowly raised his hand.
The man holding the sword noticed something and his eyes flinched.
At this moment, the middle-aged man raised his middle finger.
"Fuck you!"
Boom!
The next second, his body exploded.
The entire building was caught in flames.
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared outside the building. There were some small burns on his clothes but except for that, there was nothing else.
"Sir Kiro! Are you alright?" A soldier wearing red armor rushed toward that man and asked.
Kiro glanced at him but didn't reply.
But the middle-aged man had already got the answer. He heavily sighed a breath of relief. Then, he looked at the burning building.
It was the Blood Explosion.
He didn't expect that someone would use it inside the building. It's like killing his own people.
Then suddenly he remembered something.
The man next to him would kill all of them. So, it wasn't surprising that someone used Blood Explosion.
But, he noticed the Kiro turning around and leaving.
"Sir Kiro, do want us to search that building?" He quickly asked.
Kiro shook his head and his body slowly disappeared.
The man behind him sighed. But, the next moment his expression changed. He slowly took out a small red jade and infused his internal energy into it.
"Master, Dark Blood Faction has been eliminated. I am not sure if he learned about you."
After a while, a voice rang from the red jade.
"Is that so? Don't worry about it. They won't tell him anything. Right now, you go and ask White Blood Faction and Red Blood Faction to be ready."
"I have a feeling that the King would give us an opportunity to dethrone him. Jejejejeje! He is still one the most arrogant people in the world."
After that man received his orders, he put away the red jade and finally walked away.
......
Asura Palace,
In the hall of Asura Palace, several people were sitting on different chairs. At the farthest front, there were two massive golden thrones.
In the first seat, a middle-aged man was wearing a golden-red coat. He had sharp golden shoes and a long red sword on the side.
On the second seat, there was a beautiful lady. She looked just like Hinata, just a lot more mature. With those cheery lips and smooth dark skin, her sexy figure was revealed in front of others.
She wore a tight red dress to cover her body. Though her legs and hands were covered with transparent golden cloth.
They were the King and Queen of the Asura Kingdom.
On the right side of the hall, several men were wearing red robes. But, on the opposite side, other men were wearing blue robes.
Surprisingly, those who wore red robes had revealed their Asura Skin, which was the dark scales covering their bodies.
But, those with blue robes kept the human skin. To use human skin or asura skin depends upon the personality of the person.
Since there weren't many wars between races, they quickly understood that human appearance was the most comfortable and also easy to use.
So, human appearance became common in different races. But still, several people love their race, so they would simply keep their own race's appearance.
"Your Majesty, Kiro, the Princess Guard has arrived."
A man at the door kneeled down and spoke.
The next moment, Kiro slowly walked inside without even receiving confirmation from the King.
But, nobody said anything. This was Kiro, the Princess Guard after all.
After he reached in front of the King and Queen, he slowly lowered his knees and head.
"Please punish me for not being able to keep eye on princess!"
When others saw him kneeling in front of the King and the Queen, everyone was surprised.
Even King and the Queen were surprised especially, Queen. Because of his personality, she gave him the authority to not kneel or bow in front of them.
After all, it was hard to change his personality and most of his strength came from his personality.
So, when they saw him kneeling in front of them, she was shocked. But soon, she chuckled.
"Kiro, it seems like my daughter succeeded in tricking you. Who would've thought that you, of all people, would be tricked by seventeen years old girl?"
When she said that, other people didn't know what to say.
Tricked by the princess? For normal people, it wouldn't anything extraordinary.
But nobody should be able to trick him. This man could even smell poison from the food.
It was almost impossible to trick him so they didn't understand how the princess tricked him.
Kiro didn't reply. It was indeed shameful to admit that he was tricked. The man who could even detect the poison fell asleep due to the sleeping pill.
And, was sealed by a powerful sealing array.
"Don't say that, wife! In fact, Hinata might be the only one who can trick him. But, right now, we don't have time to discuss about it."
"Kiro, if you want to apologize then keep protecting Hinata. I have a new task for you."
"You need to leave the kingdom and find her. But, don't come in front of her. Just keep an eye on her from the sides."
At this moment, a man from the red robe side stood up.
"But your majesty, we know that princess left the kingdom to become a martial artist. She hasn't even reached eighteen. If we allow her to train, we would be breaking our ancestor's rules."
At this moment, King turned his eyes to the man and opened his mouth.
"So what?"
