Episode 50. Prince in the Cage pt.4

I looked at the car that took Hakam away to the middle of the west. Instantly my danger instinct was activated and tried to hear what the people in the car were saying.

"Shit...! Our foe is just a kid, but they are too damn powerful!" The driver groaned as he endured the pain.

"No wonder they are called Podoagung School students! They are all above average when they fight using pageblug!" His friend sitting beside him admired in pain the greatness of the students.

"Fighting two students of that school is already troublesome, and moreover, 7 of our friends are left there because seriously injured. The hell, what will happen to the fate of our other comrades against them!" The driver was worried.

"Let's hope nothing happens, the student with the glasses was our nightmare, right? I even lost my limb while fighting him!" Said the friend of the driver who is now fine.

"But fortunately, this one person is not too strong! He only has great strength, but he never has a good decision in the move." The driver explained what caused Hakam to end up in the car.

"Approximately how many hostages will it take to make Princess Tyas surrender?!" His friend the driver asked.

"I don't know, as much as we can! As long our boss can make her surrender, the number is nothing!" The driver smiled broadly.

That's enough there. I don't need to hear it any longer. I have to act quickly before this gets any bigger.

I turned my gaze to Dahlia who was still looking at the kidnappers.

"Please, report all this sleep men to the police! I still have business with them!" I ordered her with my flat gaze.

This was not something the likes of Dahlia could involve with. I hope she doesn't force me to come.

"Well, where are you going?! Meet their boss?!" Dahlia looked surprised but flat.

"Maybe, but I hope you don't get involved in this! The next time you see them, put your hands together as if pleading. Say "CODE: KEPO EMPEROR!" Then it will protect you from harm like them." I explained how to use the power of CODE that I accidentally installed in her.

"If the mission seems so dangerous that it worries you. Then I'll understand, and will try not to get involved." Dahlia, who is calm but chatty, now looks submissive when she worries about her loved ones.

"Thanks..." I smiled at her because I understood.

I left Dahlia with my ruined goods to take care of that unconcoius foreigners.

When it's far enough away and no one can see me. I activated light magic and chased after the car by running.

'Where you will go?' I'm getting curious as to who sent them.

In my heart, which was desperately chasing the car, I remembered Nova's words. Looks like I'm really dancing in the palm of her hand.

But come on, I don't care anymore. All I did was try to protect my reputation and the good name of this school.

It would be bad if Nusantara saw the students of Podoagung School being held hostage by the kidnappers. Their image as a prestigious school will be lost if they find out.

When the distance is getting closer, I began to notice that another car was chasing it. A person in a butler outfit was driving the car with a sharp gaze, while behind him was his master sitting in the back with a worried look.

'Steven, huh?' I looked at the boy with pity.

Better not to get involved in the first place. I activated fire magic and shot the two front tires until they caught fire. A quiet road allows the car to brake suddenly and safely.

This is better.

It's not good when someone sees me. This was a large-scale kidnapping, the student wouldn't be strong enough to fight them.

Based on my analysis against them earlier, the kidnappers were high-level magic users. And based on the story of the two drivers too, they said they had friends and now they are all walking back to base.

In total from my estimation, it would take around all 2nd-year teachers to fight all of them in the base. And they must be united to survive from that place.

The car carrying Hakam stopped at an abandoned factory. An old bakery is no longer operating due to bankruptcy at the time. I heard that this former factory was about to be bought by a foreign businessman recently. 'So for this reason he bought it?'

They both got out of their car and took the tied Hakam out of the car and carried him inside the factory.

I immediately tried to catch up with them. But from my observation, this won't be easy. There were about 12 guards just at the main gate. There are still dozens of guards around the factory walls.

"Ha...." I sighed.

I have to finish this quickly before the teachers also interfere. After all, I promised Bahar not to make teachers and students get into my world.

I activated ice magic to cover all of their mouths. In an instant, they were surprised and wanted to talk to their partner. But sadly, their friend also experienced the same thing.

There was nothing they could do except use their own pageblug to crush the frozen ice in their own mouths.

I definitely wouldn't allow that to happen. Quickly before they destroy it, I activate wind magic and gather them all in front of the factory gate.

The guards were getting confused. The fear, confusion, shock, and numbness they felt right now.

'Rest in peace!' I say it even though I know they won't really die.

I will cast a very strong electric magic. But before that, I sent down a very heavy rain where they gathered.

Their terrified faces grew. They didn't know what was going to happen, but it was clear something bad was going to happen to them.

On the other hand, I even smiled flatly and stared at the seconds of their destruction.

'Fear my wrath!' I shouted while activating the strongest electric magic.

JDARRR!

A thunderbolt struck those who were soaking wet. It would obviously be very fatal, and make them completely paralyzed.

They all lay down like robots that were turned off by the turn off button.

The problems of the guards are over, now I only need to smash the inside.

I run using light magic and sneak inside the factory. The chances of the guards still being around were very high.

I managed to sneak in through one of the giant windows on the top wall. Seen in it there are about more than 100 students they have secured. Hakam and Moka are also included in them.

"As expected, it would be both of them" My eyes stare intently at them.

Shortly after, I looked up at some of the other students from above. There are still some students from my class that I still don't know. Especially that fat student, I remember he was the first to be motivated by my words back then. If I counted, there were 13 of my students there.

'Never mind, just do my thing!' I reminded myself.

I jumped down from the window towards the platforms inside the factory. Walking slowly, I ambushed the guards one by one with the blade of ice even though it was a bit dangerous.

Until finally, I found the leader of the kidnappers. But based on my experience, he's not the mastermind of this. I had to interrogate him to get him to talk.

Slowly I walked toward the person who was busy chatting with someone through the cellphone. The distance is close, I'm ready to stab him to immobilize him.

TANG!

My knife was crushed by his iron-coated hand.

"It turns out that the Champion likes to play secretly?" He said with a disdainful smile at me.

I jumped back and prepared to attack. He was also ready, small applause he did shortly after I was sorrounded by the kidnappers.

"Huh..." I sighed again.

At this rate, I'll have to use it again.

Some of them were already preparing to shot their magic at me. Unfortunately, that won't happen.

My mouth curls into an evil smile. "CODE NAME: REMOVE ANITYA, IF SOMEONE IS AROUND ME: TO EVERY MAN ABOVE 20 YEARS OLD! IF NOT: DO NOTHING!" I chanted CODE magic in a low but thick tone.

Instantly their magic stopped and they all passed out without exception.

I, who realized what would happen if I didn't finish it soon, had to kill them all.

I raise my hand and create an electric spark current around my index hand. Slowly, it grew and spread towards them.

"Scorch to Ashes!" My eyes stared intently at all of them who was lying unconscious.

ZASHH!

The electric magic that I emitted spreads towards them and enters their bodies.

Looks like nothing happened, but a few seconds later. All of the them are exploded and their body part are scattered everywhere.

It all happens to all of them, except one... Their leader. But I also can't let him live any longer.

Red liquid began to splash almost all over my body. An experience that I haven't had in a long time.

If I'm not mistaken, the last time I felt this way was crushing the head of the royal family. Their soldiers are stubborn enough to protect their elders, even though they only need money. Why would they want to waste their lives like that?

Likewise with them now, what's a pity...

They worked for the same thing, but their death no one even cared about.

I walked over to their leader who was the only survivor of the electric shock.

"W-what do you want?!" He suddenly woke up from his unconscious and crawled backward from where I stand with a frightened expression.

He really was already in the 'as long as I'am survived' phase. My mouth is wide in an evil smile, my eyes are shining in the darkness of the factory, and my hands are clenched tightly to finish him off.

I caught the guy's head. "If you want to survive, tell me. Who is your boss...?!" I asked him in a cold tone.

He looked at me scared half to death. "Mr. Norman, Norman Colbertstein. That's my master!" He begged for mercy with his body already shaking violently.

There was no sign of lying from him. I feel satisfied after hearing that, my mouth is even smiling wider. Unfortunately, all that have been hit by the CODE, have to...

I turned around and walked away from him. I instantly activated my pageblug and slashed my sword at his throat. I cast ice magic at his lifeless body.

He died instantly and lay on the ground with frozen condition. I destroyed his body with fire magic until nothing was left.

Everything I wanted has been gathered. I better call the police right away. The teachers also seemed to be coming here to save them.

I walked out slowly. The students are still inside but that's none of my business anymore. They will also be saved later by the teachers who will come soon.

I activated light magic and left that place in an instant.
