[Demon King's castle, Demon Continent]
On the platform in a empty space of the castle, two black flames suddenly emerge on it's platform as both Hepta and Belial comes out of it with the former quite injured
When they arrived Hepta suddenly lost all strength on her legs while Belial plump down on one knee as he stretched his jaw
As for Hepta she was somehow gasping for breath as bead of sweats kept pouring down her face
Her day just wasn't she was expecting at all, she didn't expect to get surprise one after the other when she confronted the hero at all
With a smash of her fist unto the ground Hepta complained all of the sudden as she curled up
"What the hell is this? Huh? This wasn't supposed to happen!!! This war was supposed to be a war of survival between our race against the other races of this world... To determine who will come up victorious and lead this world... How come there are so many freaks coming out one after the other? A guy who can use mana less magic, three people who are as dangerous as the demon king, and an old man that can control time itself... How are we supposed to compete against those freaks?"
Hearing her complain Belial stood up as he wiped his clothes and headed down the platform
"Don't complain... All we need to do is fight"
At that Hepta immediately asked Belial a question solemnly
"Do you think that we could win?"
With that question Belial suddenly sigh as he turned and look towards Hepta, but just as he did the latter immediately followed up her question
"Our race lost the war multiple of times against the humans, based on what the history depicts the demons only won when we have a powerful Demon King"
"Are you doubting our King's strength?" Asked Belial as he felt offended
"No I'm saying is that if we lose, everything that we ever fight for, all the lives that were sacrificed will be for naught... Demons, ghouls, undead, vampires and many more... All of them will be hunted down, humans will slave them, another years of oppression from other races... We all lost something cause of this and I'm pretty sure you also lost something right?" Stated Hepta
Hearing her say that made Belial flinch, for a moment his will seemed to waver as he immediately avoided gazes from Hepta
Soon after he rummaged inside his clothes and took out a pendant of some sort and said
"Not all humans are like that but... Their greed is endless, cause of it innocent people will lose their lives..." Said Belial
"Which do you think among all of us is in the right? Which do you think among all of us is in the wrong? The war was instigated which was supported by our own feelings but no matter what... I'll win" added Belial as he closed the pendant which contains the photo of one female Human in it
Hearing that Hepta suddenly let out a huge sigh as she stood up and took her halberd that was quite damaged
"Well... Just as you said... We can only fight" said Hepta
"Yes... But it's quite amusing really" said Belial as he started to chuckle
"Huh? What are you on about? Wipe off that smirk of yours it's irritating and scary" complained Hepta as she headed down the platform
"Oh my!... Sorry about that! But I'm just quite happy to see the princess of the vampire is still alive"
Hearing what Belial said Hepta immediately came to a pause as she glanced at him and freaked out
"What!?!? Princess of the vampires? Who? When? Where?" Asked Hepta
Apparently the existence of the vampire princess was quite an important existence in the past, she was the much anticipated next in line for the Demon king's position cause of her magic and Strength
Unfortunately one day when she was away and was busy dealing on something, some rebels suddenly emerged at the former vampire city in Arkham, and terrorizes the place as they killed the former royalty of the vampire lineage
Due to that the other races also thought that the vampire princess too was killed in the process of her weakened state, this in turn resulted in having Sirius the person who took over the position of the vampire king for himself and also the one who led the demise of the former vampire royalty
"Wait! The princess is a girl... And the only girl back there is..."
At that moment Hepta remembered the only girl that approached Belial and contended with him using her very own World Class Magic
"Oh my... Don't tell me" gasped Hepta as she couldn't believe what she had deducted herself
"I guess you weren't pretty stupid after all" commented Belial as he observed her reaction
With that Hepta once again approached Belial
"This is bad isn't it? Sirius won't be happy! If he learns of this, he will use every means at his disposal to kill that girl" said Hepta
"No need to worry for that, she had some freaks of nature allies with her and also she wasn't a little girl, she's a woman now... A very beautiful one, looks like your eyes got tricked... She's using her a suppression magic causing her to look like a kid" smiled Belial as he goes out of the room
With that Hepta even felt more interested
"So will she take her throne back again?"
"She should be since she is destined to be a Queen of her race" said Belial as he walked down the hallway

[Long Ridge Bridge, Demon Continent]
Peeking through a hole on his finger Fengris seemed to be analyzing the situation at the other end of the bridge that is 50 km away based on the distance and size of the ridge
While he was observing Argos however was gazing down below the gorge as he observed it's unknown depth, Aileene on the other hand was at the side stretching her back as she sighed, as for Kaido he was currently sitting on the cold stone bridge as he started using dark magic on his Esper powers
Not a moment later he somehow succeeded in creating black lightning and black flame, this in turn was followed by other application trial
In the midst of that boring silence Fengris somehow spoke that immediately broke the Ice
"Yep! There are guys at the other side of the bridge... I could see small dots moving around there, now what?" Asked Fengris
"Do we have to kill them? Or blow them up?" Asked Argos
"I think killing would be fine, but that would lead us to having our presence known to them" stated Aileene
"Then nope it is" said Argos as he sighed
"So how do we do this?" Asked Fengris
At that moment Kaido suddenly said
"We just need to pass through them right? Then we just need something to cover our presence completely... I think I got a pretty nice idea"
Hearing that all of them turned their heads towards him and said
"Oh yeah speak up"
"We just need to atleast have a spell that can cause Mana disturbance, while I myself will set up a fog to cover us and a very thick fog at that as we cause... Not only do we have a diversion, we could also safely pass without having our presence known" said Kaido
"But that wouldn't work to people who are sensitive to slight movement" said Argos
"Yes that is true... But we. Would just kill them immediately to avoid further attention to us" smiled Kaido
Seeing his evil smile that seemed to enjoy something bizzarre, they couldn't help but follow his words since no one can come up with a better idea
"Let's do this" said Fengris
"Alright!" Said Aileene
"Do as you wish" said Argos
Hearing them Kaido soon took a step forward and started condensing the atmosphere around them thus causing the fog
Soon after the whole place where Kaido and the others were, suddenly got filled with fog, without hesitation Kaido snapped his fingers as he manipulated the fog to rush up towards the other side of the bridge like a tsunami wave
Seeing that all four of them made their move as the run up together with the thick fog
Of course on the other side, many of them notices the thick fog heading towards them like a rushing water, this in turn alerted everyone as they thought it as a direct attack from the creatures at the other side
Soon demon mages filled the other side as some ogre blocked the path followed by golems
Among them were succubus too that seemed excited to experience their very first targets
Soon after struck with fear some mages started firing off spells towards the rushing fog
But this spells easily missed the four of them as they run up to them
Soon after the fog covered the other side of the bridge as everyone became alerted of their surroundings as they stayed active looking around, but due to the dogs thickness none of them could even see their allies through it which made them panic a little
Due to their ruckus Kaido and the others silently passed through them without raising any alarm
As they passed by and settled at the hill nearby Kaido immediately dispersed the fog causing many of them make an awkward expression as they couldn't help but feel embarrassed at their comical situation of being afraid of a fog
As for Kaido and the crew they somehow safely passed through them without raising any attention
Since they passed through the bridge, it only means that it won't be long till they arrive at the demons king's castle
"Those guys... Are pretty dumb" commented Argos seeing the ruckus down below
"Oh come on! give them a break... They're already trying their best" said Fengris
"Hahaha! Best... Yeah not really" reacted Aileene
But as they commented at the rowdy people down below, Kaido however moved his gaze towards the far distance as he observed their target location and seemed to imagine the Demon king's Castle far away
"We're close..."
But as soon as he took a step a slight drowsiness suddenly drowned him as he felt that his body suddenly got heavy
Seeing him reacting like that, the other immediately noticed him and tried to support him, but Kaido slowly closed his eyes as he murmured
"Looks like my body is too tired "
With that Kaido fall asleep on the hard ground

[Wasteland, Demon Continent]
The next day Ingrid's group suddenly came upon a place to stay during the noon as they saw a crumbling mountain due to some reasons unknown
Unfortunately Anna felt Kaido's presence here for a moment as she observed her surroundings
Currently Sui fell asleep after traveling for so long that she was laying down on Ingrid's thighs as the latter was gently carrassing her head
For a moment everyone felt flustered at that sight and somehow even the girls of their group gave her a wry smile
Even Sarah was surprised on how gentle Ingrid's movements can be just for the sake of one kid
Soon after Ingrid suddenly took something inside her clothes as she also warmly gaze at the necklace that Kaido bought for her back at the Eldion Empire before everything went haywire and even before Kaido made signs of changing and breaking down
"Don't worry Kaido... We will find you and if you've forgotten about us, then all we can do is to make you remember us" said Ingrid
With the necklace on her hand she soon stared out the far distance as she felt for some reason that she will be able to find him
With a sigh she once again carrassed Sui's sleeping face as she gently looked at her and seemed to imagined what would her future look like, however just imagining it causes her to laugh slightly as she once again gaze at the horizon
