Chapter 202: Seven Months Gone By

Volume 5 Demon Continent: War of the nations

[Endroga Kingdom]

In the aftermath of the kingdom siege where Queen Vivian was supposed to be captured, Kaido in turn caught the attention of the Vassal of the Demon king, Supreme Vampire King Sirius and was captured by him and dragged away

Due to the unforeseen event for one week the elves tried to rebuild their destroyed kingdom as most of them mourn for the dead

Both sides of counted and combined has a death number totalling 1,382 deaths on the battlefield for some are majority of the enemy side as they got almost wiped out by Kaido

Due to the vampires attack, the elves in turn grew furious as they suddenly gathered their forces that are scattered in remote areas of the forest where their power never reaches and tried to negotiate the tribal tribes there such as dryad's and fenrir's

Following that they planned a counter offensive and fought on against the Demon's that was positioned at the border of the Demon Continent

Due to Elf Hero Elijah's effort, they managed to drive the away with a casualties of 534 on the battlefield

After that they secured their hold unto that border to serve as a checkpoint for them to release their full force against them in the near future

Due to this achievements the Eldion Empire and the Grand kingdom both representative of their own race started to reach out to them as they invited them in a round conference that will be held in a few months

Due to this Queen Vivian reluctantly agreed to it for the reason that they wouldn't be able to handle everything alone

As this was decided after two weeks of staying in the Elf Nation, Ingrid in turn became the de facto leader of the group in second to Kaido's authority, due to them knowing that Kaido was somehow close to Ingrid they in turn voted for her to lead them with the consent from Melfina

As for the Melfina herself due to Kaido's being captured, she in turn dedicated herself to search every nook and cranny for him no matter how long it will take, but to do this one needs power cause the environment of the Demon Continent is really different from the three countries

With that dedication Ingrid promised her that she would follow her to the Demon Continent if needed

As for Sui she even though she was dejected, it didn't took her long before she dedicated herself to retrieve her Papa after seeing Melfina's dedication, due to this she once again rose up and bowed to look for him when she grew up no matter what it takes

Due to that others also rose to the challenge

The next day they decided to head back to the hidden village with the exception of Melfina who suggested that she would try to roam at the border of the Demon Continent to find the Supreme Vampire King and hunt him down with the intention to save Kaido

After being reluctant for a bit Ingrid in turn allowed her to do what she want

"Are you sure you can handle yourself?" Asked Ingrid worriedly

"Yeah! I got everything I need, don't worry I'll inform you if I ever received any news" replied Melfina

"Sure! We will be back in the hidden town, it seems like the empire is starting to move, the town might get entangled in all of this if they managed to accidentally find it, with that my presence needs back home" said Ingrid

"I know, you do your thing, I'll do mine... . . See you soon..." Farewelled Melfina

With a slight nod Ingrid assuredly let Melfina go, following that the others also said their goodbye's to her especially her sister before they separated ways

With the help from Horus after persuading him non-stop for about 7 hours by Elijah's antics, he in turn gave up upon seeing the too much energized Elf child minded Hero and agreed to teleport the group of Ingrid back at the port of Screa City

With a few goodbye's from Elijah, Sui in turn waved a goodbye to her elf friend before leaving

"Bye Elijah!"

"Bye Sui! But remember about the conference, I'll be in that continent and we'll try to visit you!!!"

"Sure! But buckle up first since you'll pass the sea which I'm pretty you have motion sickness!!!"

"Ugh!"

"Hahahahaha... . . "

"Your too cruel!"

"Well I'm Papa's daughter after all"

And with that they left

*********

[Hidden Town]

~1 week after~

When the group returned to Screa Port City through long distance link teleportation, Horus said his farewell as he deducted that this wasn't their last meeting

After that Horus left the scene, leaving the four women to prepare for departure

Firstly they have to inform about King Simon about the current situation and everything that they saw and experience during their travel which lasted for a month and a half

Of course King Simon welcomed them with open arms as he hugged his daughter for her safe return, alongside them General Stone was so proud for Sarah for accomplishing her job

When Ingrid told him their circumstances the vicinity grew silent as he try to process everything, on the other hand prince Johannes was quite perplexed by what to feel for Kaido's capture after all he still have feelings for her sister in which he wouldn't admit ever in front of Kaido if he wants to live

Not only that but the appearance of two Elderwood Guardian beside Sui was quite intimidating as Elderwood Guardian are only told to be in the myths as indestructible and emotionless creature

Not only that but the Elderwood Guardians beside Sui was quite tall that even the castle door didn't fit too well for their sizes

"So your saying that you're going to lead his people?" Asks King Simon

"Yes! I may be disposable for them but I'm the most trusted one next to Melfina and Sui" replied Ingrid

"Then why not push the responsibility to them?" Asks King Simon seemingly worried

But in return Ingrid gave him a awkward smile as she said

"Father! Did you hit your head to be mentally disabled? I already said that Melfina has scouted the Demon Continent which is more dangerous than our location and as for Sui, she is a Goddamn child!!!"

Hearing her swear at her father for the first time, both General Stone and king Simon including prince Johannes was stunned by her behavior and deducted one thing

(He changed her)

With that in thought somehow king Simon was crying in the inside as he realized that Kaido has tainted the purity of Ingrid

"Father I want you to prepare for war, it won't be long before the empire calls for your aid, they have already contacted the church crusade and have contacted the Beastman hero, plus they're holding a conference for the three races not far into the future, I want you to be prepared for the worst"

After hesitating for a bit king Simon nodded

"I understand... But I didn't expect you to lead them, I always thought that you'll be a leader someday but not this type of being a leader"

"Welp the roles doesn't change, it's still the same no matter the organization" replied Ingrid

"Agreed!"

As King Simon agreed to her decision she in turn decided to head back to hidden town the next day, so during the night the king indulge his previous moments with her daughter before not seeing her again for long, of course General Stone also spends some bonding moments with Sarah but in the end it was embarrassing thus ended up in a sword match

The next day the three of them which include prince Johannes saw them off at the castle gates before they disappeared into the horizon

With that another week has passed when they finally arrived at the hidden town which they were met with the now guarded Queen Empress Evelyn's soldier's

Due to unforeseen circumstances Queen Empress Evelyn has stationed herself in this small Town which eventually due to her help has now been upgraded into a City and a proper one at that, with that they now call it Hidden City which in the future will be named Riruko City to commemorate Kaido

Following that they were warmly welcomed by the other half of the group as they inquire to Ingrid everything that happened

After receiving the report of the siege, desperate war, and Kaido's past, they in turn suddenly turned gloomy as they felt useless for once again letting Kaido be captured

As for Melfina's circumstances they knew that they should trust her decision since out of all of them, she spends the most time finishing Kaido's dirty works

After receiving all the information they begun preparing for this so called conference of the races

"If this permits then the hidden town would be pressured by three nation's" said Lily

"Well it can't be helped" said Queen Empress Evelyn

"Not three but two!, The Elf Nation is with us" stated Ingrid

"Ah! Sorry it's a misconception" apologized Lily

"No worries!" Said Ingrid

"But if this happens then doesn't that mean the conference would be split into two factions?" Asks Pablo

"Well yes it would, so in the end if things didn't go well... . . There's a high chance of them fighting against each other instead" deducted Queen Empress Evelyn

"But our real problem is the church, they have like devout believer all over the human country and plus they even says that their religion is like salvation or other stuff" pointed out Pablo

"Your right! So we need eyes to observe their movements" said Ingrid

At that mention Luke spoke up

"Then I would help"

"!?!?"

"I can persuade the Adventurers Guild to do just that, but the problem is which guild would accept my request when one of the people in the wanted list?" Asked Luke

After thinking about it, Okou suddenly came up with an idea

"We could use the guild stationed at Guila town"

"The origin of Kaido's whereabouts?" Asks Luke

"Yes! I heard that guild master over their is quite afraid of Kaido's potential" said Okou

With that the observers are decided

"Then I suggest to include the Viscount Reinbach into helping us" suggested Rebecca

"Reinbach? You mean the guy that was indebted to Kaido?" Asks Ingrid

"Yes" answered Rebecca

"No worries your highness" said Marquez Lucio

".... Ingrid is fine" said Ingrid

"Sure, I have attended him and have known his personality, I can assure you that he's clean" said Marquez Lucio

"How can you say?" Asks Ingrid

"Gut feeling and intuition, but you shouldn't underestimate it Ingrid-sama, for my gut feeling and intuition is always on point" assured Marquez Lucio

After thinking about it I grid couldn't help but sigh

"So we're pulling every possible asset that Kaido has accumulated over the span of months? This feels like were preparing for war"

"Cause this is war child, and in war their could only be one victorious, the Demon's have United, it's our turn to do our best, were fighting on both side here, one is against the empire while the other is against the Demon's" said Queen Empress Evelyn

"Such complex double sided attack" pouted Lily

Unexpectedly all of them simultaneously agreed as they said

"Agreed"

"!!!"

With that they concluded they're talk as they prepared for the next possible outcome, the result of the conference

*******

[Demon Continent]

~Seven Months later~

Starting from the day of his capture, seven months have passed by then which totalled up to one year since Kaido was brought into the the world

For the last seven months Kaido was held inside a prison in an unknown place of the Demon's continent with only an isolated place and troops and soldiers can be seen

When Kaido woke up during the night of his capture, he suddenly realized that there's a magic circle embedded on his back that negates all kinds of power to conjure

Due to that he was left powerless as he can't even use his ability, what's worse was that Everytime he did that, the consequence of having science based power contact magic inside of him kicks in

With no choice at all he was left chained up alone in a cell that was rotten with dead like smell that made him puke for a few days before feeling empty in the stomach

As the Royal torturer of the Demon king, Sirius spends six months torturing Kaido until he spills the beans and agreed to help the demons, due to that every possible torture was done to him

Such torture even Included of trying to drink his blood by numerous vampires, but this was exempted as the moment they did that, six of the vampires died by drinking his blood which has contacted radioactive energy prior to his capture

Take note that radioactive is harmful for vampires

At that after lashing some bloody whips on his body for the thousandth time, Kaido just merely and weakly laughed at Sirius torture after enduring the torture for months now

"Ha... Hahaha... Hahahaha!!! Come on... . . Are you that a wimp? Even the scientist torture is much more harsh than this! Show me what you got you damn bat!" Growled Kaido

Losing his patience Sirius adruptly grabbed his hair as he growled

"Shut up! If I would like so, I could've killed you by now! Don't think your safe of death cause if I ever get tired of you then your dead meat"

"Hah! Threatening me? Your way too outclassed by me, if I were in your position, I would've have made my victim cry already"

"Shut up! If you want to live"

"You can't threaten me with death asshole! I've already experienced death, I'm not afraid of it anymore" said Kaido

"What the hell are you spouting now?" Roared Sirius

Luckily before he go crazy by Kaido's antics, he was summoned back at the Demon's king castle thus he quickly left the next day leaving Kaido bored again

After some time he spends seven months in the prison resulting to him only working out to relieve his boredom inside the cell

Due to that his weak looking fragile body suddenly got muscular for a bit as his biceps and abs got apparent and visible to others

Followed by his long black hair that reaches his back with a tinge of white due to stress and his glowing red eyes Kaido in turn celebrated his 19th birthday inside the cell

Due to his alluring appearance which is comparable to a vampire due to his red eyes, fair skin, and black hair, some succubus that passes through and serves the guards often got attracted to him thus resulting them to seduce him

But nonetheless Kaido ignored them

With his knowledge Kaido can feel that even though his body was well condition his health wasn't

Everyday due to the curruption of the cursed sword that was destroyed by Horus, he would feel that he was getting sickly and weak

Day by day he would feel like closing his eyes as darkness tried to probed him, not only that everyday he would also lose part of his memories in the past which troubled him at most

But in the end he couldn't help it

One day at the end of the seventh month, Kaido himself couldn't hold it in anymore as he finally fell asleep into deep darkness and started to dream of his past once more
