(Side) Gaining Attention

"So, Birkyne how is the status for the hunt after this dhampir in the Johan duchy?" Ternecia asked her fellow partner

"He escaped all our attacks and killed the assassins we sent after him with ease at this point I doubt our servants can kill him anymore," Birkyne said while crushing his glass filled with blood

"So what do you intend to do or shall we help you?" Gubamon asked stroking his beard

"You can´t be seriously thinking we should handle this personally?" Ternecia asked grinding her teeth, alone her fraction lost enough personal that had enough power to destroy the entire duchy in the blink of an eye

"No, we still have a trump card in our sleeve and I personally want to see its full power" Birkyne smiled diabolically

"You can´t be serious this is a masterpiece that was bred for ten thousand years and you want to release it against a dhampir?!" Gubamon said hitting the desk before him accidentally crushing it to dust

"I am serious, or do you intend to going out personally and kill him?" Birkyne asked in a ridiculing tone and Gubamon sat on his throne again

"Well a little test of his power should indeed give valuable data about his power outside the test field," he said and Ternecia nodded

"Well it can certainly become interesting to watch this disaster ravaging the land," Ternecia said grinning revealing her fangs

"Then it is decided we will release our great weapon against the dhampir Valkorion," Birkyne said laughing while his servants covered in the corner from the resonating laughter which shooke the ground of their hidden meeting place

- Mirg Shield Nation -

The current Marshall of the Mirg Shield Nation sat before a prisoner hearing the reports they got from torturing him

"So it has been decided by the highest authority of the vampires to attack the Orbaume Kingdom?" he asked the information gathering officer

"Yes my Lord Marshall Palpapek the vampires are apparently concerned about a single dhampir who hunts down their followers and has overcome every attack they sent him" the man reported

"And they intend to release an experimental high ranking monster to kill him?" the marshall asked

"Yes apparently they want to test its strength in battle while exterminating a threat to them" the man answered

"Interesting if this monster is strong enough the entire army of Orbaume should be concentrated on this being" the marshall concluded

"Mylord if I may say something to this topic" his adjutant spoke up who till now remained silent and got permission to do so "Isn´t there the possibility that the monster will be killed by the target or the current S-Class adventurer and if we miss calculating there loses in this fight it could backfire us we haven´t regained our strength yet"

"This might be true but the S-Class adventurer is currently heading to the dark continent so I doubt we will ever hear of him again" the marshall brought in his opinion and smiled at the possibilities this accident could bring for him and his nation and started to prepare for war

- Alda´s Divine Realm -

In the three years since the unsealing of the Demon King´s Fragment Alda kept an eye on Valkorion whom he saw as an interesting existence even though he was an impure existence that was unnecessary in his ideal world

"To think he still hasn´t succumbed to Irae´s influence" Curatos the god of records noted as he and Alda were discussing their next steps

"It surely is remarkable but that does not excuse the events he set in motion," Alda said while rewatching the information they got from a vampire follower

"It certainly is a tragedy that this creature will be released and at such a bad timing at that" Curatos pointed out

"If I warn them they will surely misunderstand my intuition and will start doubting my ways since the one targeted is a child of Vida," Alda said thinking about his scope of ways to go

"Can´t this A-Class adventurer defeat it?" Curatos asked his lord

"I doubt this, even with the divine protections he is already close to retiring and his last big fight was years ago," Alda said and watched the coming event with concern in his eyes as the future was at a turning point

- Vida´s Divine Realm -

In her Divine Realm which resembled a sea of flowers, she sat impaled by her brother's divine powers unable to help her children weakened to the point she can´t protect them and has to sleep for many millennia to regain her strength

Vida once again woke after a long period of time and looked through the eyes of her children and believers and saw something promising yet something worrisome

"This Dhampir... his weapon is... the Sword of Wrath..." Vida said in a worried tone as she saw her child with the weapon which caused so many tragedies yet something confused her the sword didn´t take him over

"Why is he immune against the sword´s spirit..." she questioned as she went through the memories of Valkorion and Neria and saw the scene when Valkorion became enraged after Neria was hit from Capiro

"The Sword grows more powerful if the wielder is enraged this is nothing new but normally it should manipulate him and fuels the rage even more to the point it takes him over yet he carries it for 5 years now and the sword hasn´t done so but why?" Vida kept questioning herself since this is something no one had ever accomplished even people protected by Gods fell for the sword´s influence and became wild berserkers killing everything and everyone

"Well... I can´t tell how he does this so it doesn´t matter for the time being right Zakkart?" Vida said looking at the empty throne next to her with sadness for the loss she had in the great war 100.000 years ago

"Anyways I Vida in light of your achievements and in hope for your future hereby declare you shall become my Hero," Vida said seeing the great threat the two would have to face and hoped the title she granted him would somehow help them to overcome it
