244: Above the Threshold

Azekiel landed on top of a distant building from where he had a much better view of the center of the city. 

On top of the building, he saw a massive crowd escaping through the route that he had opened up. Most of the people that managed to escape ran straight to their homes to hide, while a few even went as far as to leave the city. 

Over a thousand people had already managed to escape before the other Kings came there to block the path and seal the escape route. The men were surprised to find a body lying right there, which belonged to the King who was supposed to stop the people here. 

"No wonder people were able to escape. The one who was supposed to stop them is already dead. I must be honest; I didn't expect these people to be able to kill him. Did we really underestimate them?" One of the kings asked as he started killing people as well, once again making them run back.
