Chapter 18
Team Kaji and Otoki were fighting together against Hyugi. Otoki attacked with his script power, while Hyugi dodged using his dark energy. The leader of Team Kaji shouted, "Your defeat is certain today, Hyugi!"
Hyugi laughed and said, "Do you think it's that easy to defeat me?"
The warriors of Team Kaji kept attacking one after another. Otoki struck again with his fire-like power. Dust and smoke rose, and a member of Team Kaji said, "You won't escape now!"
Hyugi staggered a little but then powered up again. But this time, Team Kaji surrounded him from all sides and kept attacking. Otoki roared, "Your defeat is right in front of you, Hyugi!"
At last, Hyugi grew weak and fell, and Team Kaji captured him. Otoki lifted Hina and Rina and said, "We need to take them to the hospital immediately."
Team Kaji then questioned Hyugi, "How did Kazan Kaga take over this kingdom? What is his real plan?"
Hyugi smiled and replied, "Kazan Kaga sent 5 out of his 70 soldiers into this kingdom. One is in the lower area, where the protest has already started." He then laughed loudly.
A member of Team Kaji said, "Some of our allies have gone to stop that protest."
Hyugi continued, "The second soldier is Rufia, who is spreading rumors in the middle part of the kingdom that the king has fled and Kazan Kaga is the new ruler."
Then he said, "The third soldier is Era, who is in the upper area. As soon as the king leaves the kingdom, she will kill him in front of the public and then run away."
Team Kaji asked, "Who is the fourth?"
Hyugi said, "That was me. My job was to get the king out of the kingdom, but you people stopped me and ruined the plan."
Team Kaji asked seriously, "Who is the fifth one?"
Hyugi started laughing loudly and gave no answer. His laughter echoed all around.
Meanwhile, in the cave, Yusugo and Haiko were talking. Yusugo asked, "Now tell me, Haiko, what is the truth behind the plan to destroy the Ink?"
Haiko said, "The story began three years ago. The king saw that the B-rank Scriptors had become too powerful. They could defeat thousands of soldiers alone. So, the king secretly made a plan to eliminate all Scriptors out of fear."
Tears welled up in Haiko's eyes, "The king contacted a traitor Scriptor named Jake, the most powerful and the greatest betrayer among Scriptors. He was the only one who could carry the Book of Enlightenment. With his help, the king brought the book into the DX Kingdom. He pretended that he wanted to protect it from dark Scriptors, but the real plan was something else."
