To the rescue!

Akira and Volts finally reached the next room, where they met the two Mikadzukis.

In Akira's room, he fought a woman who used summoning magic to summon monsters. In Volts's room, he fought with a man who used flame magic. 

The knights then stopped Akira. One of the knights said, "Let us handle this. You go after the last one and go rescue the king! " The knights tapped his shoulder, telling Akira to let them handle this. 

Akira nodded since he knew that the monsters she summoned weren't much of a deal, considering the knights had little magic.

Akira avoided the monsters and so he ran in for the king. The knights held tightly their weapons, 25 knights vs 1 Mikadzuki plus 10 monsters, the battle was led by a blonde man whose name was "Jake".

"WE ARE THE KNIGHTS OF THE YOUMU KINGDOM, WILL FIGHT WITH OUR LIVES. LONG LIVE THE YOUMU!" The knights shouted with a speech.

"Hmph, you're just a bunch of rodents! Prepare to meet your demise!" Said the woman, commanding her monsters to attack.

They divided into 5 separate people, fighting 5 each monsters. The knights used their mana coating to coat their blades, shields, and spears. The woman summoned a Minotaur as her right hand.

The knights then faced off against all of them without Akira's aid. Meanwhile, Akira encountered the last opponent in the last room.

The King was cuffed in a cage on the ceiling, The king noticed and said "TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH!"

"Hey! Don't yell at me! Be grateful, that we came here to rescue your royal ass!"

"Insolent! How dare you call me with such an ill-mannered word!"

"Shut up!" The Mikadzuki shouted to stop their yelling as he was annoyed by them fighting each other.

"You! White robe fiend! Uncage me right this instance! Or you'll suffer my wrath!" The king bravely shouted at the Mikadzuki.

The Mikadzuki with a horrifying look, glared at the king, ordering him to shut with no words spoken. The braveness of the king disappeared in an instant as he realized whom he spoke.

"Enough of this foolish act! I will kill both of you and after that, I'll make you our puppets." The Mikadzuki was referring to the Morians. He could use the Morians, but they were on "maintenance", which was why they weren't here to invade the kingdom. Of course, it would be much easier with them around to destroy kingdoms. 

"Not happening, you white-robed religious freak!" Akira insulted him. He was also slightly ticked off because of the remembrance of Celine, who turned her into a monster.

The Mikadzuki took the insult personally and began transforming himself into a beast. A giant furry beast that looked like a wolf. His size was twice his size, 185CM, his fangs were larger, and he drooled while growling. for blood as his eyes stared at Akira with glowy yellow eyes.

"BE READY, BOY!" The Mikadzuki roared and so he charged at Akira.

Akira placed his scythe in front of him, trying to hold off his incoming attack. His claws hit his scythe and Akira was pushed back, crashing into the wall.

He launched his next attack by impaling Akira's head with his claws. Akira avoided it by falling purposely and coating his scythe with blood, trying to chop off his arm. The Mikadzuki did an air jump, with the flexibility he could dodge in the air with ease.

The man flipped and jumped off the wall, launching himself like a bullet. Akira once again was hit by his claws and was propelled far by the force of his strength.

Akira stood up as the king bit his fingernails with a terrified expression. Akira wiped his blood from his lips and tried to use the new blood move he developed.

[BLOOD MAGIC: GIGANTA BLOOD BLADE]

The blade from his scythe grew larger than he used to coat the blade. He used his blood to increase its strength and durability while also making his blood blade larger.

Akira swung his scythe whilst his claws were about to hit Akira. They clashed and this time, the Mikadzuki was struggling to push further but ended up overwhelmed by the strength of his large blade.

Akira threw him further back and he crashed into the wall. His face showed a defeated expression whilst Akira placed his scythe on his shoulder, intensely focusing on him.

Akira stated that this was heavy, so he needed perfect timing to land a blow since this was focused only on strength and durability while also would slow him down.

His claws were fractured, and he was impressed and praised that his moves were commendable. The man stood up and so he started moving frenetically like an animal. His speed made Akira lose sight of him as he tried to catch up, his sweat dripping off from his head while also backing away slowly. The man then scratched the wall to create dust so he would be blinded.

Akira grinned and used his keen instincts since he could hear him jumping and running from every direction. The man then appeared behind him. Akira swung his scythe without turning around and struck him down with his large blade. 

The man's waist received a blow, and so he was launched and also knocked down.

Akira decreased his blood magic and launched a slash at the cage's chains that were attached to the ceiling. Akira grabbed the cage and put it down safely while removing the cage bars.

"How dare you make me wait for three hours! THREEEEEE HOURS!" The king shouted at him while blaming him for taking too long.

Akira's face went flattened and sighed while closing his ears as he screamed to his eardrums.

Akira apologized and so the king swept his robe from the dust. Akira was also concerned about why didn't they kill him right now and so he talked to him.

He answered that they were having a ritual of some sort, he didn't know much of the details. Akira listened and so he went to the Mikadzuki's body to hold him down.

Suddenly, the body disappeared, it was quick and so he turned around while warning the King to run. The man then took him hostage, he regenerate his claws and threatened to kill him while he placed his claws onto his neck.

Akira's guard was down because he wasn't focused. The King apologized and panicked while also calling Akira to help him. Akira couldn't because if he moved an inch he would kill him.

"I'LL KILL HIM! MOVE ONE INCH AND I'LL CHOP HIS HEAD OFF!" The man threatened while also making the king turned pale.

Suddenly, a nail spike hit the man's chest and got electrocuted by massive charts of electricity, immobilizing him.

Volts was bruised but made it out safely, his fight didn't cost any life or sacrifice and made it out safely. Akira sighed in relief and so the king backed away by crawling away from the monster.

Akira remembered something and so he went back to see how the knights were doing.

The knights were doing well, but they were badly injured and bruised, weakened, and couldn't stand up properly.

Akira aided them and killed the Minotaur they were facing while also beating up the summoner. The knights thanked them and finally felt relief. Akira healed their wounds and so they were able to walk again. They then brought the king to the palace and the Mikadzuki to the bars.

Akira and Volts were finally able to rest and so they sleep, but Akira didn't, he went outside to go somewhere in the middle of the night.
