Chapter 419 Trying To Escape

Chapter 419 Trying To Escape

The sky in Asaka was getting darker and darker and the people were starting to get really worried.

Usually, by this time people would be going about their daily activities but right now everyone was locked up inside their homes because the king just declared a lockdown.

They thought it was just a lockdown until they started getting visited by soldiers who randomly searched their homes and threw things around like the owners of the home weren't even there.

They were looking for a group of people they were looking for the people who just escaped the castle but things weren't going quite well with their search.

While the guards were busy causing chaos in the homes of the people in the kingdom, Michael, Tauriel, Matilda, Jude, and his parents had all escaped into the forest.

Jude knew there was no point hiding in the home of anyone inside the kingdom as they would be found almost immediately, so this was the safest option among their only two options. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

They couldn't stay in the open though so Tauriel had to take them to the shelter Jude helped them make when they had to stay away from the kingdom.

Leaving the world immediately was what they would have done if the portal was open but now they had to wait for it to open for them to be able to leave the world.

Everyone was inside the shelter now with Michael resting near the entrance with some kind of blaster in his hand.

"I'm really glad I brought this along." He said before placing his hand on the mouth of the blaster.

"Who would have thought that purple lightning was his weakness," Jude mumbled before placing his hand on the blade Michael gave him. "This could have gone wrong in a lot of ways if you didn't come with us."

"That's the reason why people stick together."

Felix and Maya just didn't know what to say after experiencing all that in there and as for Matilda, little grunts could be heard in the back coming from her as Tauriel was busy treating her wounds with some herbs she picked on the way.

"Hey, try to be a bit a bit quiet, if you get too loud, he'll find out that we're here and then we'll be stuck in another tough situation." The she-elf advised before dipping her hand into a bowl of what seemed to be the liquid she squeezed out from the leaves and herb.

"Okay, I'll try to keep it down," Matilda said before latching onto her lower lip with her teeth and keeping it that way.

"Good," Tauriel said with a nod.

After observing everyone for a while, Jude turned his gaze to Michael who happened to be going through some stuff in his arsenal.

"So, when are we going to move?" The young knight asked.

"Five minutes before the portal opens and just to eliminate any mistakes, I have my nanobots stationed in the area to inform me as soon as it opens, I am not taking any chances here," Michael explained.

"You really have everything thought out."

"This is a life or death situation so yeah, I don't take chances in these kinds of situations, you all should brace yourself, I have a feeling we won't be leaving this place easily."

"I....should have expected this," Pearl said before quickly putting her head down. "Hey, don't worry, the second round won't be starting soon, we don't even know if it will be happening today, and even if it does, they would all be recovered before the next fights are over."

"I know, but still, you were wasteful and wasted a lot of time, work on that." She said before turning away from her.

The spinning wheel on the screen was set in motion again and as soon as it stopped, the sergeant had to announce the names of the next fighters.

"Okay, the next fight will be Blaze Damon of Phoenix Academy versus Albert Shaw of Eukerion Academy." The sergeant announced.

"Uh oh," Chloe muttered in concern as soon as she saw that match up.

Just hearing the name Blaze Damon was enough to pique Luis's interest, if this was really the person that knocked Tammy out last year then he had to see what made him special.

He couldn't care less about the other student but everyone in the stadium who were also here last year knew that this matchup was quite unfair but there was nothing that could be done about it, it was the wheel that made the choice.

Everything was quite peaceful in the cave where the group were still hiding, Matilda seemed to have slept off on Tauriel's legs and Maya seemed to have done the same on her husband's shoulder.

The only ones awake were Michael, Jude, Felix, and Tauriel, in a situation like this, that desire to sleep was non-existent.

Michael was keeping track of their surrounding with his nanobots and while he was doing that, he got read of something suspicious.

"Jude." He called with his gaze still on his watch.

"Yes."

"Tell everyone to get up, we need to leave here now."

"What's happening?" The young knight asked.

"They're surrounding us, tell everyone to get up now." He was trying his best to stay calm.

All it needed was a little tap to wake the two who were asleep.

Matilda couldn't walk properly so Tauriel had to help her move.

"Keep quiet everyone, we have to leave here quietly, the portal isn't open yet but we can find somewhere else to take refuge," Michael explained as he made his way out first.

That was all he needed to answer all the questions.

He led them all outside as quietly as he could knowing for a fact that they were already surrounded.

Just as they all exited the cave, the soldiers had already gotten close enough with their blades and torches.

"Did you really think you could escape me?" Roy's voice echoed around them and after that, the soldiers made way for him to reveal himself.
