[Demon Continent]
As Argos got the consent of the Dragon Monarch, all three Calamity Class Beings were finally able to rope in some interesting folks of different species
As the Calamity Class Beings did well on their own job, Seralyn's group however also encountered something troublesome as the Naga's are quite pain in the neck
For most part Naga's are territorial creature, due to Seralyn's appearance with Belial and Marxcus the Naga's has somehow misunderstood a good appeal to an invasion
Luckily the misunderstanding was settled as Belial dominated all of the approaching Naga's while Marxcus protected Seralyn
With a few talks with the Naga war chief, Seralyn and her group had then successfully got the consent and agreement of the Naga
As they did well Sylvia also did quite good as the only challenge that the Ruler of both Incubus and Succubus was to have a match of illusions
In the end with a power boost from being a vassal, Sylvia then finally won hands down without much trouble at all
As for Hepta she had to travel quite deep inside the wasteland of the Demon Continent and meet up with the insect people
With insect people means all types of them from ants, Mantis, beetles to arachnid's in which all of them are in their humanoid shape
Out of all the insect people the most troublesome one was the Arachnid's as not only were they incredibly cautious but also somehow quite a pain when talking as they barely reply to any of your questions which will test one's patience
But patience was Hepta's worst forte of all as she was a hot blooded person and not that calm headed one
But in the end she somehow succeeded in one way or another or through some methods that only she can know
Meanwhile as for Larval he had to go through the depths of the dark Forest in another area as he searched for the Lich
After spending for what seems to be an eternal night, he finally met the loch in one of the underground chamber of his
Apparently the Lich was resting on its throne and was accumulating enough knowledge and power to overthrow the world
But Larval wasn't worried at all as he approached the lich who was oozing death energy around him and begun to have a conversation with the language only people of the same kind would know
After a few talks the flames on its empty socket suddenly lit with green fire as the Lich slowly moved and and seemed quite curious to the happenings outside in which really interest him
As they all did their jobs and assignment's properly, all it need was for the leaders to gather up and have a one whole strategy meeting for such a raid that will be conducted by strong species in their own traits
*********
[Black Castle, Arkham Capital, Demon Continent]
All in all as Sarah assisted Ingrid and poured her some water that she bought outside in the small shops on the Capital, she then gave her point of view towards this city
"Apparently the city in the Demon Continent are in a way no different from the human city's" said Sarah
"I know right? I went there at times and tried to explore this Arkham Capital, but I can't do so since the whole capital is way bigger than I thought" replied Ingrid who shares her view of the capital
"The Demon's here are really accommodating, they almost feel like human beings with their generosity and all" exclaimed Sarah
"Indeed! If not for the war, we could have already established a peaceful connections with the Demon's by this time" said Ingrid
Soon after she looked back at the passageway in which Kaido was still in the depth of the black pool and had never resurfaced after three days
After that she looked towards the capital and muttered some words to Sarah
"The situation and environment of the Demon's in the Demon Continent are really harsh... They just came out surviving after the war and now they are planning to raid some unknown land and do a last stand there" said Ingrid
"Last stand? That means whoever will win in the raid will decide the fate of this world! Then doesn't that mean that all people should have joined this raid?" Asked Sarah
"That can't be done"
"What does that mean?"
"Kaido is preventing on having so much Cannon fodder, in this raid numbers are meaningless if such advantage would be able to turn the situation arose and with just a snap" explained Ingrid
"Huh?" Confused Sarah then started to inquire more
Apparently Ingrid used her ability and reads Kaido's thoughts in which she found out the reason why he was gathering forces
The scale was so big that it even astonished her
The raid will be consisted of creatures that were in the depths of hiding to hidden threats of the world in which will be uncontrollable when they reached the Pinnacle
With this in mind she somehow imagined a battle on a different scale in which everyone will be at their last stand to resist such force
"I don't know how to describe it but based on what Kaido told to Hibiki back at the empire, it seemed the enemy had the ability to manipulate any beings to do their bidding... Meaning once they are exposed to the enemy's leader, they would be controlled, as such numbers are useless in this raid" said Ingrid
"The power to control others... That is indeed troublesome, looks like Kaido-dono is going to have some tough battle ahead"
"Indeed..." Said Ingrid
At that moment some surge of energy started to emerge from the depths of the underground as the land shook on which it alerted the whole citizens of Arkham Capital
Afterwards cracks and ridges started to appear along the city which created turmoil, while the red sky of the Demon Continent, suddenly turned darker due to the thickness of the clouds
Soon after it rained down somekind of weird phenomenon, instead of raining down water, it was actually braining ice and fire
As ice cold blocks fell from the sky, the moment it touches the ground such ice blocks would instantly turn into a puddle of lava
Such weird phenomenon were also happening in a large scale all over the Demon Continent in which it seemed like the world has gone crazy
On other places it was rainning acid, in the wide barren wastelands it was having a ice and fire tornadoes, in the place near the Demon king's Castle Lightnings from the sky were shooting upwards, in the bridge where one of the battle happened between the alliance and the demons, the gravity of that place suddenly shifted as such objects begun to float due to loss of slight pull from the gravity
As such the sea area of the Demon Continent, huge body of water started to ascend as if the pull of gravity was a mere joke and non-existent
Such a phenomenon was quite weird that even all the people living on such continent were surprised, of course such phenomenon also o cured to places where the others are located
But after what seems to be eternal, such phenomenon suddenly disappeared like it was nothing and everything went to normal
Little did they know that the world was acting weirdly due to the nearing resurface of Kaido which has been further strengthened by the black pool
Soon a body emerged from the black pool as it slowly walks out from the depths of it and somehow fully resurfaced on the ground
As Kaido walked through he could feel that his Mana was flunctuating from the additional boost he received
Under his wet appearance he then looked over and saw some tidy neat clothes prepared at the side as they are nearly stacked up
Remembering that Ingrid was at the castle, he then begun to smile and puts on his own clothes which was a black jacket, dirty white shirt, black pants and black gloves
After which he then slowly walked out from beneath the ground and resurfaced at the flooring of the castle
After that he walked out of the castle and saw Ingrid and Sarah who was feeling threatened by Kaido's presence alone
As for Ingrid for some reason her instincts were warning her to get away immediately since that was a natural instincts of a weaker person
But soon this instincts disappeared when Kaido actually smiled back at her, which was quite rare since Kaido lost its memories for some unknown reasons
"You... Your smiling! Do you... Did you remember something else?" Asked Ingrid
"Nope! But I do remember you being entrusted with me safety" said Kaido
"I did but who would attack you now? After all you are practically invincible at the moment... Even though your reputation in other kingdoms in the alliance are plummeting cause of your deeds"
"Is that so?"
"Yes it is! Apparently they thought of you as someone who is evil with all the accumulated sins you have committed... You killed innocent people, massacred a whole kingdom and city, killed a ruler, created problems for the alliance and many more... Apparently your tyranny spread out even in other countries especially in the elven kingdom wherein the relatives of the elves you killed were practically mad at you"
"Embodiment of evil" commented Sarah
"....."
"Congratulations your practically a villain in their eyes, the majority of the world that is..." Said Sarah
After that Kaido shrugged such a thing off as he then looked below at the ever wondrous Arkham Capital
After thinking for awhile Kaido smiled and said
"Come! There's something i wanted to do in the capital"
Hearing that both Sarah and Ingrid were curious and confused at the moment,but they still followed him otherwise
As they roamed the city below they somehow bypassed many stores as Kaido begun conversing towards Sarah and Ingrid on what they're experience in the place
Because of their talks, they didn't even notice the time as if such the three of them were actually close friends, of course no one would expect that they're were big figures in the society
After walking for what seemed like hours, Kaido then stopped at a certain booth and then saw something that caught his eyes
He then proceeded to pick it up as he examines such a ring with an embedded jewel as it's design
The reason why he picked it up was because such design was quite similar to engagement rings in his old world, thus such a thing caught his attention and what's more the jewel was actually a legit diamond and not a fake
After thinking it through he then asked for its price then bought it without any more words added
Of course both Ingrid and Sarah were curious at such artifact since the concept of engagement ring was non-existent in this world
If you wanted to marry someone, one have to give out presents towards the woman and it's family, such a tradition was still held out in different customs of the people in this world
After admiring it, Kaido then somehow thought about it and realized that it was useless for him
He didn't even know why he bought it at the sour of the moment, but after sobering up he then realized that such a ring was meant for a female users, as such Kaido then planned to dump such ring to someone else
After a though he then turned around and took Ingrid's right hand and puts the ring on her ring finger
Of course Ingrid was curious and Kaido was oblivious, with that there were no such big reactions for putting an engagement ring on someone's finger
"Ingrid... Will you keep this for me?" Asked Kaido as he slowly warmed up around her after knowing her for some time and in his memories
Of course treating it as an ordinary present and didn't realized that such act was like proposing to a woman, Ingrid then said
"Sure thing! I'll keep it safe for you"
With a smile Ingrid then held unto the ring tightly as if she was really treasuring it
*********
[Demon Continent shoreline]
Afterwards Kaido rendezvous with Anna who was informed of Ingrid's departure ahead of time in this particular shoreline
Since Kaido couldn't bring Ingrid back himself, he then had to rely on someone else
After talking for a while Ingrid then went over as Anna started the teleportation process
As the process were starting, ingrid held unto her treasured ring and necklace as she suddenly felt something was off
She then jerked and looked towards Kaido
At that moment Ingrid rushed ahead and tightly embrace Kaido into a hug which was unexpected for the latter as she said
"Please don't do anything rash, you must return alive got it?"
But instead of replying Kaido gave her a vague reply of just kidding his head and putting her back towards the teleportation process
For the last time before she could leave at that instant she suddenly heard something that even alerted Sarah and Anna
"Goodbye everyone, Goodbye Ingrid... I'll leave everything to you guys"
With stunned eyes Anna, Sarah, and Ingrid finally realized that Kaido was saying his goodbye
In a flash Ingrid used her ability to read minds and saw the vision that Kaido had scene while he was in the black pool
What she saw was Kaido laying down on a pool of his blood lifelessly in some random place
In other words Kaido will die
No matter what route he will take he will do
But when she thought of stopping him, the teleportation circle finally activated and brought them away from that place, this leaving Kaido behind with a face that seemed mournful
"Ingrid... You damn woman, you actually read and saw what's on my mind" said Kaido as he exhaled slowly
Soon after his demeanor change into seriousness and begun to move
Raising his arms Kaido then started controlling Everything from the sea
With the enhancement from the black pool which further strengthened his Calamity aura, he then had enough power to change the terrain of the world
With a though he then forcefully raised a huge wall of water around the Demon Continent, completely shutting everything out
(Reminded that the Demon Continent is so wide that it was practically a slight bigger than the whole America itself)
With it's wall around it, he had secured it quite tightly and made sure no interference from the outside will disturb his plans
After putting that up he then turned around and headed back for the Demon king's Castle to prepare for the huge gathering of monsters
