Honyopenyoko's appearance made people uneasy, so he had stronger undead protect the cities. due to just how many cities there were, the numbers were stretched out to cover a great amount. but Ainz just destroyed the Slane Theocracy, and many people wanted to fight back. not all could be tortured, so Ainz got himself a huge amount of bodies he could turn into undead
Criminals? They were all turned into undead, in the end, nearly every city got themselves at least 100 powerful undead at level 50+. but the vampire or the demon were nowhere to be seen, Momon searched far and wide, but he could never find them. the same was true for Honyopenyoko, some say they saw her. but it was truly hard to find her
so, as time went by, Ainz put all of his attention on trying to unite the races, which was harder said than done. the beast race was the hardest to have existed with other races, they had huge stomachs and most of them only ate meat.
there were even some who didn't fully support him and only did as he said out of fear. So, AInz had to step out and go to each kingdom one by one. he also felt like his kingdom was missing something. So, he needed a while while waiting for the demon gods to be free.
"where is he..." Shalltear said with a downcast look while sitting on a mountain, facing the mountain up ahead. she had searched far and wide for Dracula, and Ainz had told her to continue to play this act and even act slightly crazy. if she found Dracula, then she would be able to get a kiss from Dracula. so of course, Shalltear was all for it, she searched and searched, but she found nothing.
people were saying Dracula died fighting the demon, she guessed it was a part of the game, and finding Dracula was the next part of the act... but she was starting to get scared. it was even more so after seeing the fight Momon and Dracula had with the demon... it was too bloody for her heart to take it.
"I have to keep searching..." She said softly, yes the reward was cool and all... but right now all she wants is to be able to hold Dracula in her hands and tell her how much she missed him and that she was scary. after having some time to herself, she realized she was taking advantage of Dracula's kindness towards her. yes, she loved him, but it was no excuse for her actions. of course, Demiurge helped her get to this point of thinking, and she had a long time to think about it.
sighing, she grew a pair of wings and flew off. it's been 3 months of her searching, of course, at any time she could return to Nazarick, but that meant she failed. Ainz said there were closes to where Dracula would be, but she couldn't find or know how to find these closes. She knew this was also a test, Ainz wanted her to think, and not simply follow orders. but she found this hard to do, she returned to the scene of the battle where Dracula died and began to look around once more
she took out the recording necklace and went through everything once more, trying to find clues. she tried and tried, before stopping on something. Why was Dracula saying Calca's name? This was a simple thing that didn't seem big, but she was going to try again at this moment, so she headed towards the Roble Holy Kingdom.
The Roble Holy Kingdom, usually simply referred to as "The Holy Kingdom," was founded about 200 years ago, not long after the Evil Deities' reign of terror had ended.
Since the Holy Kingdom's territory was stretched around the north and south edges of a central bay, any mobilized forces would naturally be formed into two armies -- the Northern Holy Kingdom Army and the Southern Holy Kingdom Army. The armies each have their important locations which are the city of Kalinsha in the north, and the city of Dibonei in the south.
Due to the demi-humans that reside in the Abelion Hills being a constant threat to their nation, the Holy Kingdom built the Great Wall which is regularly patrolled by several units. However, due to the limited population of the country and the large scale to monitor it, the Holy Kingdom's military conscripts their citizens when they reach a minimum age to join. Every physically capable citizen must take part in the military, regardless of gender.
All of the Holy Kingdom's villages of a certain size have also been fortified. This gives the villagers enough fighting power to hold out for the regular army to arrive and also allows said villages to serve as military outposts. Thus, the villages of the Holy Kingdom were far better protected than those of other countries, and they could also function as military bases.
Their holy church has highly trained priests and disciples who are capable of using holy magic of an average up to the third tier and some even higher than that. As well as they are also capable of summoning Angels too.
they had the 9 colors. The Nine Colors are a group of nine individuals recognized by the Holy Sovereign. there was The Paladin Order, which was an order of holy warriors specialized in fighting evil monsters. they also had the Holy Kingdom Navy.
Compared to a kingdom like the Re-Estize kingdom, this one was far more... well... it was not embarrassing like the Re-Estize Kingdom, which just a few years ago, its king barely had any power over that place.
The Holy Kingdom is under constant threat of being invaded or getting caught up in one of the many wars of the demi-human tribes residing in Abelion Hills. To prevent this, the Holy Kingdom built the greatest defensive structure in the New World: the Great Wall.
The relationships between the citizens of the Holy Kingdom and the demi-humans are extremely bad. The Holy Kingdom has no desire to negotiate with them. However, when an army of demi-humans tries to invade, they sometimes pretend that; this is to draw out their leaders and assassinate them.
today for some reason, the Demi-Human were... not quiet. lately, after Ainz Ooal Gown demanded peace, they had tried to attack them, only to quickly learn their place. ever since, they had been quiet, not daring to even make a sound. so lately, Calca has been uneasy, not knowing if they were planning something or not.
of course, she was not scared of any of her people getting heart. look at those powerful undead standing outside the city wall, and protecting her kingdom. what did she have to worry about... right?
"My queen, the Demi-Humans are attacking." Kelar, Calca's closest friend ran in to report with a panicked look. Kelar was the younger sister of Remedios. As Calca was too king to do cruel and underhanded acts, Kelart was the one to do so in her stead to solidify her position as Queen and fend off her opposition.
"the undead..." Calca couldn't even finish her words, as Kelar spoke quicker than her
"They have an army of demons among them." these words caused Calca to go pale. she quickly rushed out to look towards the city wall, and indeed, far away, an army of demons and demi-humans was heading towards them.
"No..." Calca's soul nearly left her body as she saw a demon covered in flames land the others, it was too far to see... but she was sure thats the demon Dracula fought.
"call for Ainz Ooal Gown... the demon Dracula fought is here," Calca said in a shaky voice, her kingdom was done for if Ainz Ooal Gown or Momon didn't appear. she was sure one of them should be enough to finish things off since this demon had no wings and was missing an arm. they just had to hold off... she pried that they would hurry.
as if hearing her prayers, the evil lord of Wrath suddenly began running towards the city walls, with him starting to run, the army behind him quickly followed. The evil lord of warth was too fast, for something as long as it was, how could it be so fast?
but as it got closer, the more she began to notice something. something in the hands of the evil Lord, she covered her mouth slightly realizing it was Dracula's body. Using Dracula's body as if it were a spear, it threw him forward, sending Dracula piercing cleaning through a soldier. the evil lord jumps, landing on the city call while picking up Dracula's body.
"What a good sword." He said while swinging Dracula's body around, before slowly looking around, its eyes landing on everyone there. everyone stepped back, who would have the will to face such a monster?
"It took some time getting my hands on the demon gods you fear so much, but now they are free and under my complete control... now, I can enjoy all of the screams." the evil lord said while flashing before the nearest human. before anyone could react, it slammed Dracula into him, breaking the solider bodies, and causing him to scream in pain.
the evil lord looked at the sky, enjoying her screams. but after a moment, he wanted to hear more, so, he picked her up and began to burn her alive. The man's screams were loud, causing those who wanted to flee to find themselves unable to move their legs. these were trained soldiers. yes, they grew relaxed thanks to the undead... but it didn't mean they just grew ballless.
"I shouldn't waste all my time with you... bring me the children, they have the best children." The evil Lord of Wrath order, by then, demons had reached the city wall. meanwhile, the undead were all rushing to stop the evil lord, but he easily killed them without paying much attention.
chaos quickly swallowed the kingdom, and everyone somehow found the strength to start running, but where could they run when the whole city was about to be overrun by the undead? In the center, Calca watched this scene with horror at the cruelty she was seeing. her kingdom was going to fall... her people needed help, yet she was too weak and helpless to do anything.
"My queen we have to leave," Remedios yelled while running towards the queen who was just standing there. But Calca just stood there unmoving.
"h-how can I run and leave them?" Calca asked, leaving Remedios unable to say a thing. her queen was too nice, but this wasn't the time. gritting her teeth, she was about to forcefully take her away, when a scream filled the sky.
"You dare!" Shalltear's voice shook the heavens, causing the evil lord to be stunned while looking at the sky, only to see Shalltear who was going berserk. someone whose level 100 was fully revealed to the world, the shook everyone to the bone.
"Thats my love, my beloved. You Dare harm a hair on his hair!" Shalltear wasn't acting, she was angry to the core. the Evil Lord stepped back feeling this overwhelming strength, a scene which caused everyone to be shocked. they were even more shocked seeing Shalltear transforming, turning into her True Vampire form before she disappeared, at blinding speed, she grabbed the evil lord by his neck and sent him flying off the city wall, into the army of the demi-human and crushing them all.
she went Berserk, slaughtering all of the demi-humans and demons, while she bathed in their blood, her strength grew to its peak. the evil lord tried to stand, but Shalltear crushed its head killing it.
the demi-human and demons and turned to flee, a sight which caused the humans to walk up to the city wall to see what was happening. but the scene they saw only broke their hearts, there Shalltear held Dracula's body as if she were holding a child. yes, she realized this wasn't Dracula's body... but it was so life-like.
"Thats Honyopenyoko... what should we do?" Remedios asked with an uneasy look, they knew about this vampire. her approaches at the ReEstize kingdom had spread, and how crazy and delusional she was for Dracula,
"stay away from her... she is unstable. She might blame us all for his death," Calca said softly, her eyes complex while looking at that scene. a few months ago, Dracula came to their kingdom...
"My Queen, step back" It was night when Dracula appeared, his wings spread out for the world to see while landing on the balcony to her throne room, where she normally stood to get the best of her people. her guards all of course moved to protect her, but soon they realized this being was Dracula.
"Greeting, Holy something. I forgot the kingdom name. Anyway, I came here to invite you to a meeting being held soon. a meeting being held by Ainz. but worry not, he would not appear. where is the king?" Dracula asked calmly,
"There is no King, I alone rule this kingdom. My name is Calca Bessarez, Holy Queen Of the Roble Holy Kingdom." Calca said while walking towards Dracula, a displeased look on her face. who comes to another kingdom to invite the kingdom, and does not know the said kingdom's name.
"oh, the Rumble Holy Kingdom. my apologies. then as the queen, you're the person to speak to. so, would you be coming?" Dracula asked with a gentle smile, causing Calca's annoyance to grow,
"it's Roble Holy Kingdom." She said, what made her more annoyed was that Dracula seemed not to be trying to do it.
"Really? Rumble Holy Kingdom sounded better. your kingdom name is a bit lame." Dracula said under his breath, making a vein grow on Calca's forehead.
"you bloodsucker dare insult our kingdom?" Remedios said unable to take Dracula's words any longer. she pulled out her swords, to which Dracula raised his hands
"... geez, no wonder none of you are married. I came in peace and you're all angry?" Dracula said with a shake of his head, words which made everyone's face twist as everyone here just so happened to be an unmarried female.
"better unmarried than to have my heart cut out and given to another by the person I was going to marry." Calca didn't know where it came from, but her mouth just moved on its own. Dracula... no, not only Dracula, but everyone froze at her words. They turned to look at Calca who covered her mouth, before they turned to Dracula who had an annoyed look, but since he had no combat he became the bigger person.
"As a king, it's below me to lower myself to the level of a child... oh wait, you're a queen. truly, I feel sorry for your people. no wonder none of them wish to marry you." Dracula said with a shake of his head. Calca's face twisted in rage, the fact she was not carried was a sole spot for her.
Calca's major source of frustration is her unmarried status and the rumor that she is in a relationship with the Custodio Sisters which she denies. the sisters being her two close friends, Remedios and Kelart
"An unmarried man who had lived for ages... should he be pointing at others while not looking at himself? I'm only in my 20s, I can take my time. you are over 500 years old," She said causing a vein to pop on Dracula's forehead, he glared at her, and she met Dracula's eyes.
Dracula never met anyone who gets under his skin like this, the most annoying part about all of this was that he made up all of this, and it was being used against him.
"Well, I'm undead. I have no reason to not seek out love." Dracula said with a snort, to which Calca sneered deeper
"by the looks of things, you were over 30 when you became undead. you're telling me you've never been married even before you were undead. it sounds like a 'YOU' problem." She said making Dracula grit his teeth... this woman was hateful, the fact he had no combat only made him want to punch something. she was lucky she was too beautiful or else she could die.
on the other hand, Remedios felt chills seeing Dracula gritting his grit his teeth. Dracula hid it well, but she could tell this was not a being she or anyone else could hope to face. so she was quitting begging her queen to stop enraging this monster
"I should be going, you need not worry about coming to the meeting. who knows, I might be sick the day Ainz looks towards this kingdom." Dracula said with a sigh, causing Calca to freeze for a moment.
"Cough... Sir Dracula, need not take my words so seriously. In your eyes, I should be nothing more than a child, so please, don't mind the words of a child." Calca said softly, causing veins to pop on Dracula's words. With her words, he would be lowering himself to the level of a child if he did mind it. she was pretty much saying, you're old as fuck, and I'm not. so suck it up and take the loss.
"I see... then this Rum Kingdom would be at the meeting?" Dracula asked, causing Calca's forehead to be filled with veins. but she had to smile and nod her head. She easily knew Dracula wasn't even bothering to try and say their kingdom name
"yes, the Roble Holy Kingdom would be there." She said to which Dracula nodded his head slightly.
"than Calcum Bessbum would be expected. might I know who would be coming?" Dracula asked with a gentle smile, causing Calca's face to turn dark. she never wanted to throw a punch so much in her life.
"is something wrong my lady? please, if I said something wrong forgive me. with how long I have lived, I sometimes seem to forget things. you see, I'm more human than I am undead." Dracula said with a gentle smile,
"it's alright. Understandably, old age comes with some troubles. at which point marriage is truly out of the picture." Calca said with a gentle smile, Dracula's gentle smile froze.
"you unwanted, Ugly Witch." Dracula said in annoyance, Calca seeing Dracula take off the gloves also took them off.
"did I look like a 1,000-year-old mirror? please, don't scare you. if I end up remotely like you, I will end myself." Calca said angrily
"I'm curious, is the reason there are no guys around here because you fear they would lust for you, or that you're just unwanted? With how nobles are, the fact none have placed a guy near you paints a picture," Dracula said with a sneer, since this was her weak spot he would keep hitting it.
"At least I was going to get married, I rejected mine. the kingdom seems to have rejected you and you turned towards females. poor things, they must be forced to do unthinkable things to you." Dracula said with a pitiful look towards the female soldiers.
"Y-You." Calca pointed her finger at Dracula, unable to say anything. her face was bright red with rage...
"Are you alright?" Remedios asked seeing Calca lost while looking towards Dracula, she opened her mouth slightly...
"I seem to have been friends with that vampire," Calca said softly, remembering Dracula's annoyed look when he thought of her during her. Dracula got under her skin and brought out a version of herself she never knew she had, and she did the same to him. it was a weird friendship, but she couldn't help but miss that hateful bastard.
