"hem... Asura, we have to hurry." Izuru.
"Right, I'm glad you're okay. You better get out of this kingdom." Said Asura releasing her embrace.
"I can't for now. My husband is still in the palace, I can't leave him." Answer the woman.
"so yeah. I understand how you feel, but you can wait for him out of town. I'm sure he'll be fine." Said Asura. Then from behind the woman appeared a child carrying two iron gloves. Then the boy gave it to Asura.
"Thank you for keeping this for me." Said Asura accepting it, then stroking the child's head. Asura and Izuru then walked back to the hiding place.

"Is that your weapon?" Tanya Izuru walked beside Asura.
"Right, I haven't used it in a long time." Answer Asura.
"I've never seen that gun in the store."
"This is special for me. Because only a few people use this weapon, so it is not mass-made like other weapons in general."
"Is that so?"
"Izuru's sword is the same."
"Yes? Isn't this a normal sword?"
"Right, I haven't explained it yet."
"Does this sword have any hidden power!? Hows it? Show me!" Said Izuru giving his sword to Asura.
Asura then slashed forward with Izuru's sword, but there was something different. The sword became longer and warped. "Whoah! How can that be!?" Izuru asked in surprise.
"You only need to give a slight flow of magic in your hand, it will make this sword automatically change. I named him the sword of whip." Said Asura then giving the sword back to Izuru.
"Great!" Said Izuru receiving the sword.
"It's a very dangerous sword, for both the opponent and the user. Very flexible to reach all the gaps of the opponent's defense, but can also hurt you. So practice first before using it, for now it is better to use the usual sword mode." It was clear Asura while continuing to walk.
"Great, this is no less cool than the legendary sword Shun! But, why did you give me a sword that I can't use?"
"Well... I actually wanted to give a special sword to Izuru. It was like an elemental sword, but it was extremely difficult to obtain and also expensive. So I decided to make that whip sword for you." Answer Asura.
"I want to use it quickly, it must be cool!" Said Izuru continuing to look at his sword.
After a few minutes, Izuru and Asura arrived at the old house earlier without meeting the royal warrior.
"Till you guys!" Said Iona was behind the entrance of the house with everyone behind.
"Liona? And the others too, why are you guys out?" Ask Izuru.
"We've decided to take all the citizens away from the city." Queen Says.
"We're going to put everything together before morning, and with Queen Claric here, everyone will agree." Rin.
"Woa's a great idea!" Izuru.
"Then let's run the plan!" Iona.
Then they came out of the house in black robes and hoods covering their faces. Izuru, Iona, Rin, Asura, and Queen. They went to gather all the townspeople. Now in the old house there was only Shun and Princess Clara. Karin seemed to be asleep in a long chair.
Shun then closed the front door that was still open, then he sat on an old wooden chair. Princess Clara then approached Shun. "Is my sister the same as me?" Ask Princess Clara.
"Sister was also chosen, right? I heard you guys talking about the legendary sword that the bad guys in the palace took." Said Clara.
"Yes, that's right. But now I'm useless without that sword force. Unlike the others, I never tried at all, I continued to rely on that sword. Oh yeah, by the way where's your legendary bow?"
"I left it downstairs."
"You should've kept bringing it, 'cause it was yours." Shun.
"I don't want to use it anymore. There was something terrible in that bow, he kept talking in his mind as I touched the bow."
"Something that speaks? I actually also often heard it after I pulled out that legendary sword, now I know that other legendary weapon users also feel the same way as me. Is there something behind all those legendary weapons?" Inner Shun.
"Sister?"
"Ah sorry! I just daydreamed for a second." Shun.
"Did you feel it too?" Ask Princess Clara.
"Yes, my sister felt it too. It seems like a normal thing." Answer Shun.
"Is that so?"
...*****...
After a few hours, Izuru returned to the house to pick up the others. "Everything is gathered! Come on!" Izuru said while opening the front door.
The four of them ran down the city street. Izuru carried the legendary bow on his back. Then they entered a large building near the border wall.
"You guys are coming too!" Rin said he was in the room with many of the remaining residents.
"I'm sorry it's too late, there were two people. But it's been over." Izuru.
"Listen to everything! When you hear the cue, you must run out as fast as possible from this kingdom. This kingdom is no longer likely to last, the King has been killed and the economic situation is already very bad. There was no choice but to leave. We will also pick up the residents and the soldiers affected after getting outside help. So, I hope you all can accept all these circumstances." Queen Claric said in a speech encouraging all residents there.
All the citizens looked better after hearing the Queen's speech. They're ready to escape the city!
...*****...
In front of the exit gate there were many soldiers standing guard. And from behind the walls Izuru, Iona, and Rin peeked at the guards.
"Iona, now." Izuru Whisper.
"Good! Element of darkness, Mist of blinds!" Iona said as soon as a dark mist appeared around the gatekeepers.
They looked confused and one by one they disappeared somewhere. As one guard remained wary of the surroundings, Rin appeared behind the guard and directly hit him on the neck. The guard fainted immediately.
"Everyone, come...!" Shouted Izuru giving a cue.
All the residents immediately ran out of the building and all of them headed for the exit gate.
"Good! Plan succeeded!" Izuru said looking from behind.
...*****...
"It's not that easy..." Shiori said in the palace with glowing red eyes. He then crossed his hands in front of his chest with his fingers stretched out. From inside his hand appeared long threads that instantly shot out and entered into the wall beside him.
"The String of Distance..." Shiori said in a calm tone, as soon as the thread in her hand lit up and propagated all over the threads that were in the room.
Seriate...
