[Demon Continent, Demon king's Castle]
Charging up towards Larval, Melfina herself took the lead of the charge as she splits herself into ten clones and started attacking him simultaneously
"Bunshi!"
With some clones holding daggers, while others holding short swords, and some holding knives, series of attacks came as all over Larval, thus forcing him to take on the defensive lines
"Insects! Do you think you can win?"
Tapping the butt of his staff unto the ground Larval casted multiple spell towards Melfina all at once
"Ground shaker!"
"Death swamp!"
"Hell flames!"
Due to that some of the spells successfully destroyed Melfina's clones as some got disintegrated, but on the other hand due to this Larval's full attention and focus was directed to Melfina, causing him to lose sight that there was another person who was attacking with her
Jumping up from Larval's blindspot Sarah dashed forward as she slashed her sword directly towards Larval
Of course due to the sudden shift of killing intent, Larval managed to notice Sarah's presence as he directly raise his staff to block the initial attack while erecting up a barrier to protect himself from Melfina's assault
With their attacks failed, Melfina took a huge leap backwards as she crouched down and inputted more force and power unto her hips, causing some of its muscles to strain so much that one can notice just how much power was Melfina putting on it
With a boom the ground got lifted as Melfina made a destructive dash and started casting spells along the way
"Shadow blade!"
Using such technique Melfina was able to ignore any kind of obstruction as it easily bypassed Larval's defenses, causing the latter to react to it and teleport out of her range for safety
But of course Melfina didn't gave up as she took out three knives covered by her own shadow Mana and threw them at the direction to where Larval has escaped too
Of course occasionally Sarah helped her as she relentlessly tried to shift Larval's attention towards her by actually attacking him
Swinging her sword repeatedly towards him, Larval started speed casting his spells to defend himself when suddenly a streak of knives covered with murderous Mana suddenly by passed him and cancelling his incantation
While the other two knives actually split direction of one went above him, while the other actually struck him on his legs
Gritting in frustration Larval took out the knife from his body when suddenly a sword coming from sarah struck him across his front while Melfina suddenly appeared next to him and struck him from behind
Of course due to larval being an undead such a thing was meaningless to him since he doesn't feel pain at a when being struck by attacks
Soon the skeleton face of his suddenly seemed to smile as it said
"Oh! How you must have wished that I have flesh and organs right? Too bad for you I'm an undead... I can't be killed that easily"
With the concentration of Mana unto his body larval actually managed to push back both Melfina and Sarah back once more as he raised his staff and said to them
"Oh you've better wish to dead right now, rather than being alive!"
With a tap larval begun casting a spell so peculiar that he directed it's all force toward Melfina and Sarah
*********
On the other hand as the rebel army stood up against Hepta, one can expect that there is a reason why vassals are quite strong as it was proven that some monsters got easily hacked down by Hepta as she makes her way towards the castle gates
"Out of the way!"
With a slash Hepta actually brought a giant down with a slash as she also destroyed some of the harpy and naga race along the way
"Don't let him through!" Shouted by one of the soldiers before a halberd bisected his body in half
Blood splashed everywhere as her halberd gets drenched by it everytime she swings
With a serious face and all some of them tried to get in her way only to get killed in the end
No one can actually stopped her advance, even Okou as he tried to stop her even though his shield got destroyed in one hit
"Heavy cleave!"
Swinging down his sword towards her, Hepta immediately clicked her tongue as she directly parried Okou's attack before kicking him in the guts and stabbing the tip of the halberd unto his shoulder
"You're overestimating yourself, what a disappointment" with that said she deeply inputted the blade of her halberd unto Okou's shoulder flesh before pulling it directly causing Okou's left arm to get ripped off his body
Due to that blood sprayed out as the sound of flesh got ripped and pain circulated around his body
"Ahhhhh!!!!"
In intense pain Okou dropped down to the ground as he squirmed with all his might and tried to stop his open wound to bleed out
Due to the pain Okou banged his head unto the ground as he tried to stay focus and not lose himself in the process of pain
Throwing Okou's left arm away with a disgust, Hepta then circulated the halberd to her right hand and plan to kill Okou off
Charging in from the side Seralyn actually took the initiative to attack Hepta, which In turn saved Okou's life in the process
But as a person with a goal in hand, Hepta immediately swung her halberd towards Seralyn to push her back and immediately ran off towards the earthen wall separating the outside force from the inside force of the castle
"Mountain splitter!"
With a slash from her she easily destroyed all blockage that Kaido did and blown them all away
Seeing this even Seralyn stood at the back with shocked expression as she couldn't believe Hepta's strength at all
"One strike!?! Just how strong are the vassals? How did father managed to get their trust?"
As Seralyn asked this questions, Hepta naturally entered the castle this leaving Seralyn with a from expression seeing that someone bypassed them
"Kaido's gonna kill me..."
*********
Standing infront of the castle door with bodies of Demon's, monsters, hybrids, special's littered on the floor, such scenery could only be called a one sided slaughter
Standing among the corpse Aileene wiped off the blood from her hand as both Argos and Fengris used their aura to destroy any blood that stained their clothes
Seeing Aileene with blood of her opponent's on her hands and nails, followed by the messy blood that plastered on her clothes, lips and hair, Kaido seemed to see Aileene as a bloodthirsty vampire just like those in the movies that he watched
"I'm pretty sure you drank some of their blood, so how does it taste?" Asked Kaido causing both Fengris and Argos to look up to Aileene with eyes full of curiosity
"I hate to say it but their blood taste bitter and smells bad" complained Aileene
"So you have preferences?" Asked Fengris
"Of course I have preferences! I like Kaido's blood out of all of them since his blood seemed to have multiple different taste that is different from the rusted taste of Human's blood" explained Aileene
Hearing that Kaido suddenly reached out for his neck as he thought of the fragmented memory of him being experimented on the lab, causing his hatred to boil up for revenge
Other than the memory of being in the lab tortured, experimented, and forced to do something, Kaido has no other memory even before he got captured by the curious scientists, he can't even remember his daily school life and normal childhood, especially his love life in the past
The only thing he can remember is that he has a goal to destroy all the organization that has connections on experimenting the persecuted Espers back on his world and turn the society that betrayed him into chaos, as he disrupt the twisted and corrupted government
With him stepping up into this pavement of stairs Kaido felt like he was so close unto reaching his goal of returning back to his original world
"Just a few more, I'm so close... Few more struggles and I'll be able to return"
With that though in mind mind he then slowly pushed the door to open when suddenly a cry from the gate came in, as the person charging forward raised her halberd and aimed for Kaido
"Don't you dare!"
When she did that of course, all three Calamity Class Beings intercepted her attack with great force causing Hepta to crash down on the ground so hard that if actually caused a trench to be made by her landing as she slid back
Opening up the door and letting the others come in, Kaido then asked Aileene a favor
"Hey! Can you take care of her?"
When he asked that of course the expression of Aileene seemed elated by it, causing her to seductively smile at him as she said
"Alright! Your big sis will take care of her in your stead" said Aileene even though she was still in her Loli form
Naturally out of all four of them Kaido was the youngest causing him to be the like a forth sibling for them
As Calamity Class Beings are such a rare race, each and every one of them, regardless of the age and gender, all of them regarded each other as a family
Just like what it implies, they looked out for each other which is apparent since Fengris who was once regarded as the youngest seemed to have a tight knit relationship with Argos while an annoying relationship with Aileene
While both Argos and Fengris also seemed to have occasionally visited Aileene's place
As a family whenever one of them gone rouge, it was their responsibility to end that person sufferings by dealing it within their scope
Due to that all of the Calamity Class Beings actually looked out for each other and cared for Kaido wince he is regarded as the youngest sibling among the Calamity Class Beings
With the door slowly closing Kaido then headed straight for the hall together with Argos and Fengris behind him, while Aileene was left behind to deal with Hepta
"Now what shall I do to you?"
*********
Back out in the battlefield due to fear and desperation to survive to return to their families alive, some of the empire troops actually betrayed their Ruler in this hopeless situation
Of course what they imply was reasonable since two heroes was down for the count as one was knocked out while the other is in a critical situation of bleeding out
As for Human race hero Raguel was actually restrained by one of the spells coming from a vassal
Seeing that all of them were beat up without getting to the Demon king, all hope of its troops were lost
Due to that betrayal King Emperor Ergo was then left on the ground gasping for dears life
Of course as a daughter of such ruler Lily immediately went over to him and tried her best to heal him up since whatever happens she is still his daughter
"Father!" Cried out Lily as she started applying healing magic on his wound
But unfortunately King Emperor Ergo slapped her hand away and forcibly stopped her from healing him
"Stop it! It's useless..."
"Father... Please..."
"You damned child... Didn't you... Hear me? I said it's useless..."
"....."
"....."
"Please let me heal you... You can't die like this" said Lily with a voice full of worry
"Stop it i say... It's useless... My people betrayed their Ruler... Do you know what this implies?... It means the Empire that I worked so hard to improve in all my years... Is finished"
"No..."
"I... I did everything for my home country, I even resorted to killing it's enemies... And look where I am now?... The same cold ground in where I also killed the people who oppose me... Such... A nostalgic situation" said King Emperor Ergo as his blood continued to spread all over the ground while denying any help
"I kill with a sword... Now I die by the sword... Heh!" Added King Emperor Ergo
At this moment Lily tried to forcefully heal him but his father immediately held her hand down
"Let me rest damn child"
"Our country can't survive without a ruler" stated Lily
"Then you be the ruler... I've done what I can... Your only like this cause you haven't seen enough suffering yet, your still naive... The world isn't kind to good people... You'll never be a great ruler like I am"
"...I know..."
"I'm tired... Soon... You'll know that ruling with an iron hand is the only way to survive, you'll be twisted just like me"
Seeing him like this Lily seemed choked up as an indiscribable feeling started to swell up
With him resisting any healing, it was already apparent that King Emperor Ergo himself will die of blood loss, bit it didn't matter now since he's already tired
He wasn't a villain of course so he won't curse the world of his misery, in his view everything he did of course was all for his empire and nothing else more
For him he did nothing wrong, so if his time has come, then so be it
As he thought of that a hand suddenly carrassed Lily's face as King Emperor Ergo touched Lily one last time
"I'll watch from the other side"
With his last breath his hand that was carrassing Lily's face dropped down lifelessly, and for some reason Lily started crying as the bond between her and her father seemed thicker than anything else at this moment
The way King Emperor Ergo carrassed her face was the same way he carrassed her when she was still in his arms as a child
With silent tears for her deceased father Lily finally broke down as she cried silently for the fallen Ruler
