Chapter 187 - Chapter 187: Making A Move

[Tower]

Inside a room filled with books and all, two people are standing side by side as their backs are faced towards Goddess Serefina

As Goddess Serefina stood there looking at the two people, the tallest one spoke up

"It's time, Cara come"

"Yes ancestor!"

Expectedly the two people's silhouttes are Cara and her ancestor Horus who was part of their family in the long line of their generation

When Horus said those words, he stood up slowly and walked down the aisle, as Cara followed suite beside him

Apparently after Cara left the group, she instead asked for the help of the Queen of elves regarding this place

Luckily the Queen herself wasn't black-hearted at all as she ordered some of the elves to accompany her on the journey along this place

Due to that it wasn't hard for her at all to find this bizzare location made by her ancestors in her long line of blooded relative history

Not a moment after a portal was opened up as Horus slowly stepped inside of it followed by Cara

***************

[Deepest Base underground]

Located deep beneath the east of the elven castle, inside a huge door so thick which one would needed magic power to open, Horus and Cara quietly appeared after they stepped into the portal

When they arrived they were greeted by such greenery around the area that one could almost mistakenly thought of it as a garden if not for the huge overlapping thick plant roots in the middle of the room

Inside those thick roots was Kaido who was retrained to a position of the cross as he was still deep in his coma

When both Horus and Cara got to him, the latter was still so shocked to see his current condition after being restrained by the elves

If counted right then it's been few weeks already since Kaido was restrained, for her he looked completely different from the once domeanering person back on the Beastman Country

His eyes lost the shade of life in it, his hair has grown to the length that it touches his shoulder, his complexion slowly turning to pale, and his body composition seemed to get thinner by the day

When Cara saw him like this, she involuntarily looked away from it as she gritted her teeth of how the mighty has fallen

As for Horus he seemed intrigue as he lightly touched the black aura surrounding Kaido's body

When he did made contact with it, he didn't expect that the aura would actually repel him, due to that he seemed even more intrigue as he forcefully pull out something from Kaido's storage

As he took hold of something, what came out was the cursed sword that Kaido once took from a Demon commander back at Ingrid kingdom

"Looks like it's already too late" said Horus

Hearing him Cara quickly asked

"What do you mean?"

"The aura of this cursed sword has completely embedded inside of him, I could just imagine the struggle he is currently undertaking... . . It's like fighting for your right of the body" answered Horus

"What?!?! Wasn't aura embedding only a trait of holy swords? Why does this sword had such functions?" Asked aura

Hearing that Horus flicked her forehead as he said

"Idiot descendant! Haven't you read your books? Cursed swords are originally holy swords of the Hero's, once it was corrupted enough with demonic energy, a holy sword may turn into a cursed sword" explained Horus

"!!!"

"But nevertheless we aren't here for it, instead were taking him" said Horus

"But how are planning to do that? He's completely restrained by the world tree" reasoned Cara

"We don't need to take his body physically, we just need to take some of his soul back with us and fill it with information" replied Horus

Just as he said that he lightly tapped the ground causing a six-fold magic array to appear beneath him as he prepared for the soul extraction

As Mana gathered around the tip of his staff, he lightly tapped the staff on Kaido's forehead which caused a bright light to enveloped the whole area

****************

[Tower]

As Kaido opened his eyes, he could see a unfamiliar ceiling and a unfamiliar book shelves surrounding him

As he tried to struggle to rack his brain on how he got here in the first place, a person not far from him walked out of the corner of the book shelves followed by another two silhouettes by the side

"Looks like your awake!"

As the person said that, Kaido somehow couldn't remember how he got here at all, unexpectedly the person examined him his circumstances

"Oh don't bother thinking how you got here, after all your just a portion of the soul I extracted from your original body, but nevertheless you can still function as if your Currently on your body"

Hearing that Kaido got even more suspicious of the person until familiar voices reached his ears but his side

"Kaido!"

When he glance around he somehow saw Goddess Serefina and Cara by the side, the former was standing on the stairs while the latter was behind a desk filled with documents

Seeing the Goddess he somehow thought that he was in her realm, but after taking Cara into account, he couldn't even think of a reason why she would be hear

"Why am I here? Where am I exactly?" Asked Kaido in his tired gaze beneath his bangs

Unexpectedly the tall person answered

"Your in my place, I'm Horus the keeper of the Akashic records for multiple generations already, nice to meet you Riruko Kaido man of another world, son of Adam and Eve, the unfortunate Esper who was dragged into our problem by a certain Goddess" stated Horus

After hearing that Cara on the other hand was stunned that Kaido was the same as the Hero's, a person from another world, what's more impressive was that she thought that Kaido was a direct son of Adam and Eve which she thought to have cool names

Noted that in this world the first people on this planet has a different name

Hearing Horus statement Goddess Serefina gently looked at Kaido's current state as she felt sorry for him

Subsequently she asked him

"How are you feeling?"

However Kaido looked at her with his tired eyes as he turned mute infront of her

Receiving no answer from him, Goddess Serefina just imagined on how much suffering was Kaido Currently undertaking at the same time trying to fight for control over his body from the cursed sword

Luckily Horus took the sword with him and broke it into pieces as it was useless already, but nevertheless the aura from Kaido still remained intact

After that Horus glanced at Cara as he informed her to make some tea for the moment

Realizing that Cara gently bowed before she left

This time Horus stood up and walked a little bit closer to Kaido slowly

"I presume you have your own questions to ask?"

"Actually... . . Yes I do... . . Do you know the way to return to my world?" Asked Kaido weakly

"Return? Of course I do, but it isn't your time yet, you still have to do something here and everything should go the way it is or else everything would go to waste" answered Horus

Hearing that statement Kaido pondered

"Not time yet?... . . Are you perhaps able to see the future?"

"Yes and no! The future always branch out to a new possibility Everytime you make a choice especially the choice of wording your using, I'm just merely watching on one part of the future but not all of it, the future itself has infinite possibility after all"

"....."

"I'm here to tell you something or somehow warn you" said Horus after she glanced at Goddess Serefina for confirmation

When he saw her nodding silently, Horus received permission to continue

"Appearance can be deceiving!!! Don't think that after you solve everything, it will be all over... . . Kaido listen to me, your merely starting your real journey and just as you speculated there is a third party at hand in this problem and that party consist of two parts"

"....."

"Two entities, two factions, each lending a hand to total destruction, I don't care if your the hero or a villain, but one thing for sure is that your already benefitting just by living on a habitual planet, and especially you don't want to live on a dead one" stated Horus

This time Goddess Serefina continued

"We can't tell you the enemy yet since it's not time for you to learn, but we can assure you that what your going through right now is just merely a preparation for something bigger, the war your experiencing here is merely a pebble to what you'll experience when fighting them... . . Here you war cause of races and peace, while there you war for survival of the entire living being" said Goddess Serefina

At that she silently sorted on the stairs as she said

"But you wouldn't tackle this alone as others will join you... . . The reason for this is unknown but if you win, I can assure you that you can receive any wish you wanted"

"Every person is a protagonist of their own story, that phrase is truer than it sounds" inserted Horus

"I know that your thinking of why can't we be just direct, but in the end you'll know soon enough... . . Sorry for putting the burden on you"

At that moment Cara just returned with a set of tea on hand as she distribute them to the to the three of them

Still after Goddess Serefina looked at Kaido's state, she somehow felt guilty inside as she bit her lips

After taking a hold on the tea, Kaido suddenly slammed it to the table, turning it into broken prices instantly that shocked everyone inside especially Goddess Serefina

After that he shouted at her

"Are you fucking kidding me? So everything wasn't enough yet huh? You useless God's? Your so almighty on the top of your positions and yet what? Putting all of your problems into mortals? Some gods you turn out to be"

As he shouted this Horus seemed to anticipate this as he tried to calm him down

"Kaido! Show some respect, she's still a Goddess you know"

"You shut the fuck up old man! I won't take this lying down at all... . . Are you telling me that your just putting all the work unto people that are not even omnipotent? Who the heck are you kidding?" Raged Kaido

"All this time you guys have been using me all along? Then what's different it is of scientist using me to the gods utilizing me?" Asked Kaido as he held his head with both of his arms

"All this time I've been used like a lapdog of some gods? Human's and God's aren't different at all in the end huh?"

As he said this Kaido somehow started crying while laughing which shocked the three people in the room

"Do you know how I feel this moment? I don't even know what should I do now? I'm... . . I can't even do this anymore, the only thing that's keeping me together is the promise that I would return, but nevertheless even I couldn't remember a single fucking thing about my normal life in the past" cried Kaido

"I see dreams that I don't recognize, familiar faces that I don't know, burden that I have no memory of, it feels like something a part of me was suddenly taken from me... . . I can't remember them at all" he added as he continued to cry

Hearing his words Horus, Cara, and Goddess Serefina seemed to notice just how much depressed Kaido was especially as he tries to remember his life before he was abducted

But as they were about to console him, the atmosphere suddenly changed as the once raged and sorrow emotions that Kaido felt suddenly went blank as if drowned into total nothingness

After that they heard a deep sighed from him as his mood suddenly changed, like an adrupt mood change

"I'm tired"

Unexpectedly the moment he said this Kaido emitted a huge EMP shockwave around the area lifting everything away from him, causing both Goddess Serefina and Cara to be blasted away

Luckily Horus managed to set up a barrier just on time to protect himself

After that the ground beneath Goddess Serefina suddenly shifted as they took a hold of her and spikes erupted around her

Seeing this Cara immediately tried to charge ahead to Kaido

"Kaido! Stop that!"

Seeing this Horus was horrified as he shouted

"Wait! Don't!"

But before she could react to his warning a spike suddenly pierced through Cara's abdomen which impaled her off the ground

Quickly before it's too late Horus teleported beside her as he cuts off the spike and started healing Cara

"Fuck off"

As Kaido said those words he once again stomped the ground causing another shockwave to assault them

After wards while still sitting he glared at Goddess Serefina as he growled

"Not so haughty anymore are ya? You couldn't do anything in this mortal realm, you may be omnipotent on your realm, but you have little to no effect on this side, and that is the reason why you gods often takes otherworlder to your world since you can't interfere to the natural laws of this world... . . Cause if you did, then only destruction awaits"

"How did you... . ."

But before she could finish, Kaido suddenly interrupted her

"Conclude this? It's basic logic you shitty Goddess, after I'm done with this bullshit of yours, I want you to Grant my desire, after that I want you to get the fucking out of my life, you should be lucky that I'm talking to you like this cause if you don't... . ."

As Kaido gestured that an earthen spear suddenly formed on his palm as he aimed at the goddess

But before he could shoot it out Horus quickly tapped unto him as he forced the soul extraction to quickly cancel everything out, thus returning Kaido's portion of his soul back to his body

When he disappeared everyone slump down on the ground as they sighed deeply

As Cara held unto the now healed wound, Horus immediately destroyed the restraints that were inputted on Goddess Serefina as she stated

"Was that enough? I know that he's currently unstable but I couldn't help to feel that somehow he's loosing himself"

"Don't worry at least we had sent to him our advise, he'll remember it later on, as for the reason why he's acting like that was because of a cursed sword that infiltrated his body causing him to return to his old cold killer self in the past" said Horus as he showed the broken sword

After seeing this Goddess Serefina gritted her teeth as she recognized the sword as once a holy sword made by the gods

"In the end were the reason that he turned that way"

"But atleast we turned the situation as what we wanted, now it's all up to him on how he should handle this situation, if my calculations is correct later point in the future, once he's strong enough he will remember everything we have talked here so there's no need to worry" assured Horus

"I hope your right" said Goddess Serefina
