Assassins

Just as Kai spoke, thirteen men materialized around him. All of them wore leather armor and a hood attached to their armor to hide their faces. Five men stood in front of Kai at a close distance. Five men were behind Kai, while the remaining three were on top of the carriage.

Eiera identified these men and said out loud. "KAI! They are Assassins."

Kai gazed at every single one of them and said. "Assassins, huh! Do you know who I am?"

One of the Assassin spoke, "We don't care, who you are."

"Whoever sent you here must be crazy," Kai smirked and continued. "Sending only fifteen men after me."

Aiden got confused after hearing Kai's words Aiden called out. "Can't you see, They are only fourteen!"

Suddenly, Kai throws the Eternal Blade towards Aiden like a spear. The Blade pierce through the air, giving Aiden no time to move an inch. The Blade barely misses Aiden. The Blade grazed through Aiden's cheek, giving a small cut on it.

As the Blade grazed Aiden's cheek, Aiden fell on the sand. He looked at Kai with visible confusion and fear on his face before Aiden could say anything. A stream of blood landed on his face. Aiden looked up and saw another Assassin holding a small sword in his hand. The Eternal Blade pierced into the Assassin's chest.

Aiden realized that Kai had just saved his life. Aiden gazes at Kai, who extends his arm, calling for the Eternal Blade. The Blade responded to Kai's command. It left the Assassin's chest and flew into Kai's hand. As the Blade left the Assassin's chest, the Assassin's corpse fell onto Aiden. 

Aiden immediately removed the Assassin's corpse and stood up from the sand. Aiden's face covered with the Assassin's blood.

Kai gazed at Aiden, who was wiping off the Assassin's blood. "Like I said, only fifteen."

Kai then shifted his gaze towards one of the Assassin and asked. "What's your name?"

The Assassin hesitated for a moment, but then he said his name out loud. "The name is Shaun."

"Shaun! I have an offer for you if you give me the name of the person who hired you!" Kai continued, "I'll let you go alive!"

Shaun, the Assassin, didn't respond to Kai's offer. He and all the other Assassins pulled out their small sword and pointed it towards Kai. The Assassins surrounded Kai in a circle, gradually closing in on him.

Kai put the Eternal Blade in front of his face, holding it with both of his hands and then he took a deep breath. Suddenly, Kai disappeared into the air. There was nothing except for a sand trail in the air.

The Assassins looked at the sand trail, their eyes following the sand trail. At the end of the trail, they saw Kai standing there with his Eternal Blade pierced through another one of their men.

Aiden said to Eiera, "What are we waiting for! Let's help him."

Eiera stopped Aiden, "If you interfere, Kai will Kill you first."

After hearing Eiera's words, Aiden first gazes at Eiera. Then he gazed back at Kai. "I think I'm not in a mood for a fight."

"Shaun! My deal is still open for you." Kai said out loud.

Shaun responded, "Go To Hell!"

Kai ruthlessly pulled out his Eternal Blade from the Assassin's chest while his eyes locked on Shaun. 

All of the Assassins rushed towards Kai. All of them cast the same spell on Kai, "AZURE INFERNO!" All of them launched their fire attacks on Kai, but the fire attacks were extinguished upon making contact with Kai.

The Assassins stopped advancing as they saw their attack fail. Kai started to walk towards them. With each step he took towards them, the blood of the Assassins dripped from the Eternal Blade on the cold sand.

One of the Assassin gulped in fear and shouted. "He's Kai!"

All of the Assassins looked at the Assassin who shouted. They slowly shifted their gaze towards Kai. "It can't be..he can't be.."

"It has, and I am Kai." Kai said in a cold, chilling voice, sending shivers down their spines. As Kai declared his name, he used his extreme speed to close the gap between him and the Assassins.

Kai grabbed the neck of one of the Assassins with his left hand and drew him closer. "You have signed your death contract by coming here." Kai continued, "Now, prepared to Die."
