[Endroga Kingdom, Royal throne]
Inside the quiet and solemn place in the kingdom of elves, a magic circle suddenly appeared inside the room as the air twisted and vibrated on it's activation
Soon after two silhouttes came out from that magic circle as they plop down on the floor
"Ugh!"
With a thud both Elijah and Horus landed safely on the ground, at the same time various situation of teleportation was also happening outside the palace, and at the Grand Kingdom as Alduin and some soldier safely arrived there
As for them the only person who welcomed them immediately was Queen Vivian who was the only person standing by the corner of the room
Quickly as a mother she rushed up to her son's sorry state as she quickly readjusted his twisted Mana flow in his body, thus causing his wild Mana to disappear and his hair return to their usual color of blonde
After that she applied the highest grade of healing magic she could apply while also turning to Horus who was pacing on the window back and forth and seemed to be thinking of something
"Just what happened? What happened that forced you to come out and rescue my son Elijah?" Asked Queen Vivian
When she asked that Horus however slightly glanced at her before starting to mumble to her
"It's happening, it's finally happening!"
"Happening? What's happening? Horus!!!"
With that in raged Queen Vivian stood up and ran up close to Horus, Horus in turn leaned forward as he stared straight into Queen Vivian's eye and said
"It's finally happening, he managed to do it... They're out! They're finally out!!!"
"Out?"
"The creatures who stayed dormant for years are finally awake... With this the phase one of the preparation is complete... " Said Horus excitedly
Hearing him mention that Queen Vivian started to remember something that she heard from Horus back at his tower, when 2 years before the summoning the goddess had a talk with Horus and gave him her plan and told them that they will summon someone and he will be honed in this world
*******
[Flashback]
Alone at that time and keeping quiet at the side while afraid fo provoking a God, Queen Vivian just stood quietly on the corner as she observed how Horus talked to Goddess Serefina
"We're going to summon someone... I don't know who, I don't know why, but he will be honed in this world where it is kill or be killed" said Goddess Serefina
"Is it for the war against the Demon king?" Asked Horus
"Demon king? No... This is for the preparation for the upcoming battle of life and death to an even greater for much stronger and deadlier than the Demon's"
"Much longer than the Demon's? I believe that's impossible" shrugged Horus
"That's because of your perspective of someone living in this world for 35000 years... But not us God's who have seen other world's, if we compare your situation then it would be like a frog in the well"
"Ignorant of an even greater power?" Asked Horus
"No different world has different strength, every world has a law of its own" said Goddess Serefina
"Is that so? Then may I know what's the name of this even greater threat?" Asked Horus
"If you want to then it's name is *****! You can figure out it's name by translating it through the Akashic Records" smiled Goddess Serefina
"I understand"
"I want you to aid him, and not only him but this world also need to prepare along with the other nine world's who are at the forefront of the even greater threat... We got only one chance to do this right Horus.. don't mess it up"
"Leave it to me, if we fail then it will be the end of us"
*******
After thinking for awhile Queen Vivian's elf ears started to flutter as she exclaimed
"You mean the three Calamity Class Beings are awake?" She asked happily
"Yes! He accomplished 2 of my three objectives"
"2?"
"Yes... He managed to convert himself" said Horus
"Are you serious? Then does that mean that the guy is already as Calamity Class Being?" Exclaimed Queen Vivian once more
"Exactly"
As for Elijah who was listening to the side and was forgotten by both Horus and Queen Vivian, he suddenly got curious about it
Soon after Horus remembered Elijah was inside the room as he clearly forgotten that he was there and accidentally let a secret out
Soon after he tapped the ground to restrain Elijah which surprised the latter, then used another magic with a tap as he placed the tip of his staff on his forehead
With it Horus used memory alteration on Elijah for him to forget about the conversation he heard
Due to that Elijah fell asleep as Queen Vivian caught him and apologized for her blunder
But Horus didn't blame her thus he only contemplated such happening as he gazed outside the window
"The wheel of the future started to turn to its course, with this let's see what would happen by then"
******
[Hidden City]
Upon hearing of Jack's death Ingrid putted more guards at the border of the forest thus elevating their security for any case of being attacked, but three days have passed there were still no sign of movements in the holy city
With this Ingrid started to gather companions that will accompany her, at this time she finally managed to get the consent of her father to allow her to go to the Demon's continent
For three days she talked to him about this situation and urge to go there, but as a father King Simon wasn't willing to let her daughter go to that dangerous place, but after seeing her determination of finding Kaido, he seemed to remember his old self who was also stubborn and wanted to follow Ingrid mother when she was still alive
Thus during those times his father was stricter than him, but he managed to pull through as he followed her
Now seeing the same determination on his daughters eyes he couldn't say no to it, this allowed her to got o the Demon's continent
As for General Stone he just shook his head as he chuckled on how Ingrid was really in love with Kaido that she will even dare to travel along a dangerous place just to find him and bring him back
With this Pablo the most trusted among the people was left in charge of the city, followed by Queen Empress Evelyn guiding him and princess Lily supporting him when he is tired of the working on the documents
After hearing the work even Pablo wanted to give up as it felt like he was working on a black company
But Ingrid was determined to find Kaido, and if she succeeded not only would the have a powerful defender, they told would be able to solve one of their problems thus bringing relief to them
The people who will join her on the search were the following
Ingrid's group:
- Sarah
- Anna
- Sui
- Melfina
- Luke
- Okou
- Zia
With this eight of them were going to travel, as for Zia who haven't showed up for awhile was always together with Sui as she was originally tasked to take care of her needs by Kaido
As for Luke he was ordered by Lily to provide companions for Luke who was the sole male in the group thus making Okou not feel awkward at all
Mostly the fighting main fighting forces of the city will go, thus leaving only few of them to tackle the other stuff
After that they prepared for their departure and returned to the city's plaza as they gathered on that spot
Soon after with Anna's enhanced and improved teleportation magic they started to activate the array as the whole vicinity brightly shined and teleported them away
*******
[Borders of the Demon Continent]
Within a moment a teleportation array appeared out of nowhere in the borders of the continent thus revealing eight people
When Ingrid and her group came and touched the ground they started to observe the area as they saw how contrast was the sky and ground compared to other kingdoms
The sky was red, the ground was dry red and the temperature was somewhat hot, with this they finally are bed at this god forsaken land of the Demon's
"Alright, from this point onwards the journey would be dangerous... Anna set the temperature to cool, Luke and Okou make sure to guard the rear well, as for the others stay alert"
With that they started to move, and just when they were going to depart, Sui slightly pulled Ingrid's armor that she wore when in battle maiden form
"Um... Ingrid onee-chan are we going to find Papa here?" Asked Sui respectfully
"Yes... Kaido's here... We just need to find him, don't worry it won't be long now"
Said Ingrid as she rubbed her head and assured herself
As for Sui even thought she herself has grown quite a bit, she still respected Ingrid even more especially when she found out that Ingrid was in love with her Papa, if things works out then she would be her new mother
She doesn't particularly hate Ingrid or whatsoever but atleast she was happy that she will have someone kind to take care of her if her determination bore fruit
With that Ingrid turned to Anna's way and said
"You still have Kaido's trace by that left over Mana right?" She asked
"Yes... With this we can find him"
"Great!!! Let's bring him back" she said
With that they started they're own journey at the Demon's continent that was full of danger
*******
Faraway from where Ingrid's group is Kaido and his crew were taking a walk down towards the stone bridge made by the demons to cross over the dangerous ridge of the Demon's continent
As they were walking Fengris were leading the way while Argos was having a conversation with Aileene about that old mage who can control time
As Argos was smirking on the side, Aileene however was pouting as she placed her hands on her hips and sometimes stomp her foot on the ground causing cracks to appear
As for Kaido he was at the far back of the group as he was currently thinking about the name that was stuck in his head
He kept thinking about it since for him that Beastman hero and the Archdemon seemed to know of his past, if by chance they would meet again, he would really capture them for him to interrogate about his past
"Ingrid! Ingrid! Ingrid!... Unknown person but familiar name...why is that?" He pondered
At that time Argos seemed to have noticed that Kaido was thinking about something as he realized what he was thinking after hearing him mumbling
"Looks like they've told you something important that it was stuck in your mind... Have you fully remembered your past?" Asked Argos
"Not yet... But I feel it that I was close to breakthrough from my insight... If given time I could answer my doubts" replied Kaido
"Is that so? Then I'm glad your not that putting much though into it, since worrying is bad for someone's health" said Argos
"Is that why you always sleep?" Said Aileene as she chimmed in on their conversation
"Yes... And it's not called sleep, it's hibernation" corrected Argos
"It's the same, your still going to sleep... What's the difference?" Asked Aileene
"She got a point" supported by Kaido as she followed up Aileene's claim
With that Argos just simply shrugged when suddenly from the front Fengris shouted and said
"And this people in some kind of a market that was abandoned after maybe hearing explosions on the Dark Forest that was near here"
With this they finally managed to get near the bridge as Kaido fully observed his surroundings
At that moment he suddenly felt as if someone was trying to locate him, thus he turned around at the horizon and squinted his eyes as he thought that he was just hallucinating
With it he turned around and headed together with his crew towards the bridge
