[Demon king's Castle]
At the time that Kaido once more met Asuto, all the cloaked people that were busy holding off Argos, Fengris, and Belial in different parts in the castle, all suddenly stopped their attacks as they immediately retreated back as purple haze covered their tracks
Seeing that such an enemy retreated from their position of fighting them off, Belial on the other hand had Abad feeling of what happened as he immediately flew off towards the place where Kaido and Asuto are facing against each other
As for Argos he somehow met up with Fengris as both of them hurried over to where Kaido is located
*********
Faced against each other Asuto then looked at Kaido's condition as he said
"It seems you have your fare share of troubles"
"Is that so? Well it would've been easy if such obstacle wasn't pit on me... Isn't that right?" Asked Kaido as he squinted his eyes and smiled
"Indeed such unfortunate event" replied Asuto
"It's quite a disappointment actually... But after all only a person who can distort space just like that, could've made the whole castle into a gigantic sized maze" complained Kaido
"And what's disappointment in that?" Asked Asuto
"The fact that it messed with me"
At that answer the whole space suddenly turned chilly and quite that even Seralyn despite furious, felt chills all over her body
As for Kaido, he lightly tapped Aileene's shoulder to signal her to let go of him, in response she did what he wanted before stepping back a little and glancing at Asuto
"I sensed multiple presence approaching" she whispered
At this moment Ingrid and the other who came with her finally managed to arrive at the place where Kaido went and saw the demon king laying down on the floor with a black knight that they encountered in the bridge standing beside it with a bloodied sword
Seeing such a scene Ingrid and the other's immediately concluded what had happened inside this particular space
Moments later Belial blasted in from the window and immediately saw Asuto with a bloodied sword, was actually beside the Demon king
As if the world turned black all of the sudden, Belial released an insurmountable killing intent as he slowly directed his footsteps towards Belial
"You... You killed him... why?"
"....."
Seeing that Asuto intend to ignore him, Belial's gaze suddenly turned grim as he shouted
"Answer me!!!"
With a nonchalant gaze and a lifeless eyes glancing at him, Belial immediately knew that Asuto killed the Demon king without any remorse nor mercy upon seeing it's lifeless eyes
"I did" answered Asuto
At that moment Belial unleashed a tremendous amount of killing intent followed by his wild black Mana that it almost darken the room due to his rage
At the same time Argos and Fengris arrived and saw this scene as they concluded what had happened upon seeing everything in here
Meanwhile for Ingrid and the others, the moment that Belial unleashed his fury, turning the whole room into a darkened place due to his rage, immediately king Simon's protective fatherly side pulled Ingrid behind him as he raised his sword with his shaking body
Same to him General Stone also covered Sarah behind him, while as for Rebecca and Melfina, they both huddled together as they raised their weapon in alarm
Seeing everyone shaking in their boots, even Ingrid would've known that everyone that came together with her were scared out of their wits upon sensing Belial's rampaging Mana and oppressive killing intent that could choked you to death, all of this she knew herself cause even she was shaking in fear right at this moment as she felt like crying
"Such tremendous Mana!" Complained King Simon as he shook from fear
"Forget the Mana, in all my experience in life this killing intent is the most choking presence I ever felt" said General Stone as he too was shaking in fear
"How is this possible?" Asked King Simon
"I don't know my king, but all I know that this place is way dangerous than what we expected" replied General Stone
Not far from them Argos squinted his eyes as he felt a stinging sensation just from looking at Belial, even Fengris frowned from this pressure
On the other hand Aileene somehow who was still in his late teenage form was standing by the side as she felt like such rampaging Mana was a breeze of cool air
As for Kaido due to his having psychic barrier around himself, such pressure didn't affect him at all as everything bounce off him cause of his barrier
Although beside him he could clearly see Seralyn shaking on her boots as he grabbed her collar to support her fr falling on her butt
"Don't fall! If your going to lead in the future then you can't fall, as the hero of the throne you need to face such adversaries... Don't disappoint me cause you'll be a fine asset for me princess" said Kaido as he poured a huge killing intent on Seralyn which made her flinch
"Cause if you disappoint me, I'll have to eradicated you here, you got that?" Threatened Kaido
Seeing the villainous stare from Kaido, Seralyn felt even more afraid of him than she is afraid of Belial
As this happened on the side Belial finally lost its cool as his gloves hand erected out a huge demonic claw as he flashed towards Asuto
"Die"
As Belial sent his strikes towards Asuto, a series of attacks suddenly landed on him in different direction which blasted him away with a lot of injuries
Stopping his momentum using his demonic wings as an anchor to hold him in place, he then glared at the cloaked figures that surrounded Asuto as if they were his guards
At this sight even Kaido was surprised to see even more adversaries that he expected, what's more not only there were four cloaked figures standing before him, but also one huge cloaked person like a towering mountain standing behind Asuto
Seeing such a sight Belial became even more enraged as he shouted
"Asuto!!!"
With a flap he immediately dashed forward, but when he did this one of the cloaked figures lifted a bow as it shooted multiple arrows at the predicted places where Belial might appear
As expected Belial appeared in one of those place as an arrow struck at him, but due to his reflexes he was able to block such an attack as he sent out a air slash towards them
Seeing this the Mountainous figure behind Asuto reach out it's hand and crushed Belial's attack with his palm gripping unto it
At this sight even Kaido's gaze turned grim upon seeing how such mountainous figure crushed such an attack easily like crushing a toy
Using it's slow reaction of the mountainous figure, Belial aimed to destroy such figure first as he suddenly appeared behind it before plunging it's claws straight for it's head
With a sharp crisp sound all the eyes in the room widened in shock as Belial's claws couldn't even penetrated the hard skin of this mountainous figure
Seeing this all Calamity Class Beings shared their insights
"Hoh! What an interesting guy" smirked Fengris
"I'm amazed this guy is tough" complimented Argos
"I wonder who's stronger me or that guy?" Asked Aileene with an excitement gaze flashed before her eyes
Stunned by such toughness the mountainous figure immediately grabbed Belial's arm and crushed it's bones while another figure holding a sycthe cuts off its arm, giving Belial a pained expression before kicking his way out
Gritting his teeth, Belial stopped his bleeding shoulder as he used magic to slowly heal it
"Who are you guys?" Gritted Belial as he stared at this figures that surpassed his strength and toughness
At this moment Asuto answered
"They are... My pawns"
"!!!"
At this moment everyone once more turned silent as Asuto continued to speak
"I'll have you guys to let us go... In return we'll let you all live" said Asuto
At this moment Asuto raised his sword and cut through space creating a portal to pass through it one by one
Upon seeing then portal, not one of the people inside could see the area beyond the portal as it was covered in such weird energy, which gave them a mysterious feeling
When the five figures finally went through the portal leaving Asuto behind, all form of attacks coming from Belial charged in towards Asuto
At the same time Kaido manipulated the ground beneath Asuto to dragged him away from the portal while covering the rift with a psychic Barrier
"Do you think we'll let you escape?" Asked Kaido with a crazed Expression
With one word from Kaido all three of the Calamity Class Beings attacked
"Kill him!"
With them launching their attacks, Belial obviously used this opportunity to lounged everything
"Asuto!!!"
On the other hand inspite of this pressure Asuto simply sighed as he said
"That wasn't a request, it was an order"
Raising his sword Asuto suddenly mumbled something under his breath in a lightning fast speed and released his attack
Starting from his sword, series of beam attacks blasted randomly everywhere in a lightning speed that is impossible to catch on guard
Sensing danger king Simon and General Stone each protected their own daughters as they covered them with their body, realizing that there were nowhere to hide
In a flash everyone got engulfed by the attacks that such spell even assaulted multiple targets outside of the castle causing chaos upon it
As Belial, Argos, Fengris, Aileene, and the others got engulfed by such an attack everything beamed bright that almost all of them got blinded by such an attack
When the spell disappeared, so did Asuto and the rift that he created, which concluded that Asuto left whole they were distracted
Thankfully Aileene and the others who were close to Asuto at that time managed to survive due to their high density Mana barrier which saved them
But for other's that are way less powerful than them, they weren't such lucky
Covering Ingrid, King Simon carrassed his daughter's startled face as he spewed out mouthful of blood on the ground near her as he revealed his body littered with holes
With a smile King Simon pulled her daughter's head as he gave her a fatherly hug as he whispered his dying words
"I'm glad your safe!"
With those words all strength in King Simon's body fares away as he died on her daughter's shoulder with a face as if he's contented that his daughter was safe
With his fall, Ingrid was dazed for a moment, until she finally snaps out of her daze when Sarah cried near her for the death of her father General Stone who died the same death just like how her father died
With tears streaking down her face Ingrid finally cried as he wailed on her father's cold body
Seeing this even Kaido felt pained from it as he moved his gaze elsewhere to distract himself while whispering
"She's... Too innocent, this is the reason why I warned her not to come"
Seeing her crying even Kaido couldn't do anything as he looked away seemingly something deep inside him was also reacting
Perhaps it was his old self that has memories of the past, or something else
At the same time when everything was settled Seralyn immediately dashed towards the Demon king, her father and hugged his lifeless body inspite of everything that happened as she cried
With the death of the Demon king all the remaining troops of the Demon army surrendered as the war between all races finally ended with so much casualties in both sides
As the clans that joined the Demon king's army wept from their loss and their impending doom, the others quite silent inspite of their victory as many of their loved ones had died for this battle
Some cried for joy, while others cried for their loss, but no matter how the war ended both side did suffer a gigantic loss
Adding everything up till the very first day that the war started about 1 and a half year ago, all deaths from all races amounted to at least 5,456,980 deaths
Just like what Asuto wanted, this world which was strengthened by combat, suddenly weakened due to the huge amount of its loss in population
In the end whatever Asuto wanted to accomplish, he did it with such a great success as he successfully weakened them
As for Kaido the moment that the Demon King died, the mission of the heroes of this world has ended with a great achievement, but for him the moment the Demon king died, he finally saw the person who instigated the war
Seeing the person who instigated the war, was also like seeing a ticket back towards his own world
With his goal still implemented in his mind he will return and take his revenge against those people who did him wrong
At the same time Kaido's name as the one who defeated the Hero, killed hundred thousands of people in different races, and major hidden controller of the underworld in line with it's connections, spreads throughout the world as the people who didn't know him, feared him and entitled him as the villain in their world
Aside from being a villain some even entitled him as the root of evil, god of evil, and etc. Which caused some major cult to appear in some place
With the bypass of mouths and rumors his deeds not only spreaded wide but also greatly exaggerated
But no matter how this rumors go, those who truly knows him, knew the truth of his psychotic character, even though it was just a small part of the population in the world that knew of it
Set with a new target Kaido now aimed towards on killing Asuto to get what he wanted and achieve his own goals, thus the time of Kaido's return to his world draws near
