Kings

Third POV

A large number of vehicle enter the Takagi estate area, from one of the vehicles a tall and intimidating man with jet black hair and fierce orange eyes that has the gaze of a predatory animal came out.

He is head of the Takagi family and Don of the Tokonosu prefecture's ultra-nationalist organization.

Takagi Souichiro!!!

The survivors gather when they see the group that goes outside has returned.

Souichiro walks to the estate fountain and stands on it, all attention suddenly directed at him.

He watches as a forklift that carries a cage he closer to him. Inside the cage was a zombie.

All of the survivors feel uneasy seeing a real zombie, most of them can't look at it and turn away.

"This man is... Doitetsu Tarou!" Souichiro shouts out loud, not minding if everyone hear him or not.

Rin stares at him like he is an idiot.

'Why he didn't use a megaphone or something?'

On the bridge, the Police use a speaker that was installed in one of the cars.

Now why he can be heard by all of these people?

Rin swears the moment he has a chance to leaves this world, he leaves as soon as possible.

"He is one of Takagi family followers. He is also my close friend."

The forklift stop right in front of him.

"And today, in the middle of the rescue mission, when he is saving his comrade... He was bitten!"

The survivors begin to discuss among them-self after hearing his words.

"Self-sacrifice is the noblest thing a Human can do!" He praised the dead man with a proud tone.

"But... He is no longer a Human." He continues.

"He has turned into a dangerous creature."

The zombie begins to struggle and rocking the cage.

The survivor gasps in fear.

"That is why..." Souichiro unsheathed his katana, prepare to do execution.

"I hereby... will fulfill my duty as a man of the Takagi family!"

One of Souichiro follower opens the cage and quickly go away.

The zombie is finally free runs at Souichiro, ready to bite him.

A Mother who tries to calm down her baby accidentally drops the baby milk bottle, she was lucky a young man caught it for her.

"Thank you very much." The Mother says to the young man.

"No problem." He smiles at her.

The Mother looks back at Souichiro

She was surprised to see a decapitated head floating on the fountain.

"This is... Our reality now!" Souichiro state to everyone.

"Even if they are your close friend, your beloved family member, or your lover if you want to live... Fight!"

"Senpai don't waste your time and energy." The young from before shouts at Souichiro.

"Oh! Okumura-kun... I see you made it and reach this estate." Souichiro who sees Rin was surprised but also happy.

"Yeah, and I must say you did an amazing job."

Souichiro man wants to catch this brat who acts too casually with their leader, but they sound like they know each other very well.

Yuriko came to Souichiro side and whisper something to him.

He nods at her then looks at Rin.

"Okumura-kun, please follow us."

Rin doesn't say anything but follows them to where they are going.

(Scene change)

At Takagi family Dojo

Saeko, Eiji, Souichiro, Yuriko, Rin gather around in the shape of a circle.

"First, I want to thank you for watching over my Daughter Okumura-kun." Souichiro says to Rin.

"And for warning us about incoming danger." Eiji added.

"Now, I believe you have something to say?"

"Yes. About what happens right now. What happened right now is not caused by a pandemic, nor a biological. This is The Judgment Day."

Rin words shock everyone in the room.

Many people have created theories, but most of them connected to diseases or government secret biological war or something.

But no one thinks that this the end of the world. No one thinks this The apocalypse.

No, more like they are too afraid to think or admit it.

"Can you tell me how do you know this?" Ask Souichiro.

He wasn't doubting Rin, more like he wants to know how Rin know about this.

Instead of answering Rin summons Kurikara and show them what he is.

The moment all of the blade leaves its scabbard Rin body is covered by fire. They see a tail appear from his pants.

Once again Rin manages to surprise them, except for Saeko who already knows this from before.

"Let me help you see what I see."

Using the All-seeing eyes of God Rin connect their eyes to his.

They see black miasma in the air, it was everywhere. Soichiro looks outside and sees there was miasma as far as he can see.

"What you see is something Humanity has created for a long time. Even now, those who survive still creating them."

Souichiro closes his eyes and thinks about something for a while.

Everyone present doesn't say anything and lets him think.

"What are you have in your thoughts?"

"Leave behind those who don't believe you and move somewhere else."

Soichiro raises his left eyebrow at Rin.

Rin this time Summon Dresden slate, what it's capable of, and everything about King.

Next Rin tells them his plan to activate it, give people he trust a Sword of Damocles, and start fighting the zombies.

"What if people start questioning where are the power came from?"

"For that, I will make Dresden slate area of effect reach all over the world and give some people who are worthy power."

Souichro knows he can't save everyone, still leaving behind many so other can survive hurt his feelings.

But if it was what he needs to do for his family safety, then he will do it.

This is not the first time he makes a hard and cruel decision. Since the outbreak started, the choice he has to make became crueler. and crueler.

"We will leave in 2 days. Yuriko, please tell our men to prepare everything. It will be a long journey so gather supplies as much as you can..." Souichiro orders his wife.

"And leave the rest to those who wish to stay." Souichiro who was about to walk away was stopped by Rin.

"Senpai, wait. Take this." Rin says to him as he touched Souichiro's shoulder.

A Golden aura appears from his body.

"First King, Golden King, Takagi Souichiro."

Rin walks to Eiji and touches do the same.

From his body, Blue Aura appears.

"Second King, Blue King, Busujima Eiji."

Next, he walks to Yuriko and repeats the process.

"Third King, Red King, Takagi Yuriko."

"Use your power as you like, gather people as many as you can, lead them." He says to them.

"But remember your power came with a prize. The Sword above your head may one day execute yourself if you act arbitrarily to your people."

3 of the 7 Sword of Damocles have been given.

'What's left to do is spreads aura so Strain can appear all over the world.'

Even though the order is supposed to be Silver, Gold, Red, Blue, Green, Grey, and Colorless, but Rin doesn't care.

After all, there are more than seven Damocles Sword with him being the one activating it.

For the power each King has.

Golden Aura manifested in the form of astronomical objects and use them to attack targets. In Clansmen, the ability enhances individuals' talents to their full potential.

Golden King should be also able to control destiny.

Next, Blue Aura. This Aura has the ability to strike opponents in quick succession and can attack multiple areas at once, they are also able to draw their Aura into their swords for combat. The Aura is primarily for defensive uses.

The Blue King is able to "repair" physical objects, although the true meaning of this is not entirely known.

The last is the Red Aura. This Aura has fire-based characteristics with a very destructive force to it and can incinerate almost any and everything in its path.

Rin chose them based on their character, ability.

Souichiro gets Golden because he needs to lead a lot of people. With Gold Aura, his men should be able to work better.

Eiji gets Blue because he is a swordsman. Blue Aura fit swords the best.

Yuriko got Red because she gives the feeling of wildness and passion.

These three people... no Kings is Humanity hope for survival.

Why does Rin need to give them Power?

Because Rin will leave this world with some of the girls. They can't leave the world knowing that their family is in danger right?

The truth is actually planning to make him take everyone he cares about with him, then I thought it will be less interesting (In my view that is).
