[Eldion Empire Capital]
Quite a few back In time as Marquez Lucio started to warn Kaido's group, waves after waves of Empire's troops flooded the inn as they assaulted Kaido's group
As the situation gets worse Anna casted a spell causing a huge explosion to explode within the inn leaving a gaping hole on its wall
From that they started to ran away from the Empire's troops together with the Marquez
Due to the chaos happening recently two of the Marquez knights had died leaving him unprotected
With a snap Anna took the reigns as she quickly made her own decision
"We need to get away from here... . . Come let's escape through the magic circle right outside the Empire's walls" she shouted
"But Kaido-sama and Sui... . . What about them? They went towards the castle, aren't they are in more of a pinch than us?" Asks Melfina worriedly
After pondering for a bit Anna gave a reply to Melfina
"We just have to trust them that they'll make it out alive... . . Plus Kaido-sama wouldn't lose that easily! I'm sure he'll keep Sui safe"
"She's right! Let's believe in them" added Rebecca
"I believe that Kaido-sama could at least do that much" further assured by Zia
As Anna led the way to escape, Marquez Lucio insisted to come with them which further worried Rebecca on her own way
"I... . . I wanna come" said Marquez Lucio
"But father... . . What about our house?" Asks Rebecca in concern
"House? I don't think it would last any longer, some of the soldiers saw and recognized me... . . Plus they'll additionally concluded that I colluded with you lot... . . Since that's the case... . . Wouldn't they see me as a traitor towards the empire?" Stated Marquez Lucio
Hearing that Rebecca gritted her teeth as she apologized
"I'm sorry for dragging you into this"
"Dragging? Don't mistake me child... . . I chose this, our nostra household will perish from the empire the moment I decided to follow that guy, if that guy has the guts to face the empire... . . Wouldn't I show at least some guts to abandon it?"
As Marquez Lucio said all those words, Rebecca made a decision of escaping together with his father as she pulled his arm
As the group passes through houses and roads, knights, mages, and other Empire's units flooded the street as they try either to apprehend them or kill them
As a group of Knight block their way, Melfina immediately dashed forward together with Rebecca while Anna provided with extreme boost to all their statistics
With a step both Rebecca and Melfina brandished their weapons and sent numerous blows towards the Empire's troops
"Assasinate!!!"
"Whirl slash!!!"
As some archers tried to sneak from behind to strike down the sorceress from Kaido's group, Okou immediately intercepted in between as he raises his huge shield to defend Anna from behind
"Fortress!!!"
"Wave slash!!!"
As Okou returned an attack towards the archers, further attacks rained on the other side causing for him to immediately redirected the force of his foot making him to be able to intercept the attack from the other side at an incredible pace
On the other side Zia started to draw knives below her skirt and throw them towards the enemy without hesitation
With this kind of struggle their facing in every corner of the empire, they couldn't help but feel a lot stress out the moment they arrived at the entrance
Unfortunately there were a lot of Empire's troops are stationed there, Completely blocking their way of escape
"Tch!" Clicked Anna
"There are more coming from behind!" Warned Okou
"At this rate we'll be stuck in the middle like sitting ducks" stated Rebecca
"What do we do? Asks Melfina
"We're going to be surrounded" added Zia
As for Marquez Lucio he even started to think about being the bait in order to let the others escape, when suddenly another group of knights clashed against the troops guarding the exit
Moments later as the sore person who recognized them Melfina immediately pointed out that the group of knights were allies
Fortunately in distress upon receiving the news from Marquez Lucio, Barton the Guild master immediately contacted Mike and his troops as he informed them that Kaido and his group lives are in Danger
Due to Mike being grateful for Kaido as he saved his wife from being violated and possibly being killed, he adruptly decided to go against the empire and help Kaido's group
Some of his guys tried to dissuade him but upon telling them what Kaido had done for him, they were all shocked and understood why Mike was so grateful towards the person in question
Without further ado they decided to follow Mike and serve to help Kaido's group to at least escape the Empire's clutch
"Hurry! Get out of here! We'll take care of them!" Shouted Mike towards Anna and the others
Pushing aside her doubts Anna led the group to immediately escape pass the Empire's gates, however Melfina stayed slightly behind as she asked
"Why? If you persist any longer... . . You'll die!"
"Heh! Missy! If it weren't for that kid... . . My wife would have been already defiled and dead by now... . . This is just my way of paying the due" replied Mike
"Yeah! Leave everything to us! Just go!" Shouted Carlo
"We'll make sure to hold them back for you!" Added Sid
As they said that some of their troop started to fell as the Empire's troops regarded Mike and his troops as a bunch of traitors
"Kill them!!!"
In reply Mike shouted back
"Don't let them pass!!!"
As two sides clashed, casualties begun to appear on both sides
With an urge Mike gave a final saying towards Melfina
"Let us at least pay this much in return"
Sensing that Mike's and his troops wouldn't back down any further, Melfina slowly nodded as she dashed towards her group leaving Mike and his troops to solely push the Empire's troops back
"Let's show them lots how the former Adventurers fight!"
"Ooohh!!!"
***************************************
[Eldion Empire Castle, Throne room]
Back inside the castle Raguel adruptly raises his sword as he gather Mana from his surroundings causing winds to stir around him
Seeing this Kaido gathers wind force and compacted them towards the center of his arm, causing every glass windows from the room to shatter as a violent surge of wind force to gather towards him his palm
With such wind force equivalent to a tornado, some of the nobles started to panic as they immediately held unto something firm so that they wouldn't be blown away
"Sui! Behind!"
Hearing Kaido's loud shout, Sui throttled on her small feet as she hides behind Kaido and clenched on his shirt
Moments later the wind gathering towards kaido turned dark which is similar to stormy wind causing later in for arcs of lightning to conjure circling around his palm
With a step Kaido directed the attack towards Raguel who simultaneously let his spell to intercept Kaido's stormy attack
"Holy Ray!!!"
As two forces collides against each other, the Ray easily pushed Kaido's attack away due to it's being a deviant element much stronger than ordinary element and directly headed towards the former
As his own attack got blown away, Kaido immediately stretches his hand out and envelopes both him and Sui with psychic barrier in order to defend from the attack
As the Ray made impact Kaido incessantly repairs his barrier as it undergoes between breaking and repairing due to the force of the attack
If he didn't do at least this much both him and Sui would die, you can already know how taxing it was to keep a barrier up while seeing it break multiple times
With that an explosion occured causing smoke to rise and fill the room, with a wave Kaido removed the unecessary smoke and conjure another wind pressure towards his palm
Seeing this even Raguel was dumbfounded as he thought that Kaido disregarded the fact that he's attack was easily countered, with that in mind he raises his sword again to conjure another attack
Unexpectedly as Raguel did just that, Kaido quickly clenched his fist causing the conjured wind pressure to suddenly surround his left arm up to his elbows which is similar to a gauntlet and punched the floor beneath them
With this the floor cracked, castle shook, and wind draft upwards in recoil as it collapses causing some of the nobles to fall and panic as they wedge themselves at the edge of the room, leaving a huge gaping hole on the floor
Seeing this Raguel couldn't help but praise Kaido's quick thinking
"He's good! He's actually not that stupid! The moment he realize that he was outmatched... . . He immediately created an escape route of his own rather than escaping elsewhere where I could have free reign on shooting him down from behind... . . Truly a genius"
As Raguel praised him Duke Agra however ordered the Empire's troops to catch Kaido no matter the cost
Spreading his wings Raguel stated
"I'll solely follow him through this hole"
"But" reacted Duke Agra
When Duke Agra was about to rebuke him, King Emperor Ergo adruptly stopped him and stepped back to show respect towards Raguel's decision
Taking that as something good, Raguel immediately headed down through the hole when suddenly blue Sparks of flame exploded right in front of his face that serve as a mine
By adding components like ethanol, methanol, and isopropyl elements with natural fire, Kaido manifested an even stronger flame which has the hue of blue or other words blue flame
As they exploded they also adruptly filled the throne room with blue flame, In response to this several mages have erupted a barrier to protect themselves
Unfortunately while some nobles can use magic to protect themselves, some were unfortunate to posses magic leaving them defenseless against the flame as they slowly die from being burned by blue flames
Practically Bruno the Duke's son who has a wild sexual hormones towards Rebecca, were unfortunate enough to make a contact with a small speck of flame on his left face causing it to burn and leaving him a huge scar
"Bruno!!!" Shouted Duke Agra in concern
But before the Duke could dash towards his son, he angrily shouted a command
"Capture that guy! I'll make him suffer for inflicting such a scar on my son!!!"
As the Duke's anger flared up, Raguel who perfectly defended himself smiled in excitement as he said
"Truly that person is quite crafty"
For the person himself he was currently pulling Sui as they ran to find an exit, while at the same time they escape some of the knights that intercepts them
"Papa!" Cried Sui as her legs starts to give out
Sensing that Kaido immediately held sui up on his arm as he quickly made his way down the hall while killing some of the Knight by squashing them with the very same armor their protecting themselves
"Capture him!!!"
"Scram!!!"
With a wave Kaido easily killed three Knight leaving a mess on the hallway
Since he doesn't want sui to see any of this, he held her head tightly against his chest to safeguard her eyes
When he turned a corner an explosion occured at the far side of the hall and came out of it was Raguel who raises his sword in ready to shot another day towards him
Without any further ado Kaido quickly turned and touched the floor as he slides across the floor
With a touch earth walls protruded from the walls, ceilings, and floor Completely blocking him out, additionally he envelopes himself and Sui with a psychic barrier and top it off wind a wind barrier
"Holy Ray!!!"
As the shit was sent out it easily destroys the obstructing earth walls and collided with the wind barrier easily breaking it, finally it collides with Kaido's psychic barrier as it showed signs of breaking
Since Kaido doesn't have a proper firm footing, he and Sui were blown away as they side of castle was blown apart causing both Sui and him to fall from the second floor of the castle
