The King moved swiftly to intercept Kaba's path to the Queen's domain. Assuming that the Sea King planned on protecting her from Kaba's advances, Kaba readied a defense. This trial was becoming dire, as Kaba felt himself almost near his limits. He knew the others were probably hanging by a thread as well so there was no time to waste. But to Kaba's surprise the King did the last thing the group would've ever expected. Within a flash, the Queen's body suddenly went limp. As life left her body, it seemed that a certain feeling escaped the area as well. The undead army that had become quite a nuisance began to fall one by one, and the feeling that escaped the kingdom earlier was replaced by a heavy sense of fear and desperation in the next moment. Kaba was stunned as the King murdered his own Queen and consumed her blood, effectively increasing his own power. The shock was apparent on Kaba's face. This King was insanely terrifying. If he was capable of savagely killing his assumed lover for power, imagine what he would do to them given the chance! At that moment, Kaba could've accepted defeat, but he calmed himself. All they needed was to retrieve the scroll. He had fought all his life, and things weren't going to end at the hands of some lame fish. If the King needed to murder his own Queen to become strong enough to defeat the trio, they were clearly doing something right. Kaba wanted to play things conservatively to save his energy and chakra for the next stage of the exam but it became apparent that they would need one final push to get out of this situation. There would be no point in conserving his power if they didn't even make it to the next stage. Without a second of delay Kaba decided it was time to finish the horrid Fish King. Chains, originally intended to seal the Queen, shot forth from his body aiming towards the King just after he drained his former lover's body dry. The chains would wrap around both of the King's arms and legs. Kaba aimed to restrain him just long enough for his comrades to finish the job. His technique was powerful enough to contain the most violently powerful beasts - and it was one he hoped to not have to use in this capacity. However, Kaba needed to ensure victory and progress to the next module of the exam to give himself a fighting chance. As he poured his power into controlling the beast before them, he would signal to Bumu and Koma to use the opening to get the job done. He knew they were struggling, but he also knew the two wouldn't fail.
