Chapter 297: Another New Target

Volume 6 The Void

[Demon Continent, Demon Queen's Castle]

~Two weeks Later~

Two weeks have passed since the eventful war on the Demon Continent, the world obtain peace by summoning heroes and defeating the Demon king like in the legends

After the fall of it's enemy's, all army's from different nation returned to their own kingdoms and countries

But unlike them Kaido himself stayed behind  on the Demon Continent and didn't return to the Hidden City

With the death of various king's in the war, many crowned people went and became rulers of their own Kingdom's and one of those was Prince Johannes

Just like what they talked about Prince Johannes became the king of Ingra Kingdom after the death of their king, of course Ingrid supported him as the king since she believed that Kaido must have it's reason why Prince Johannes became the King

At this moment Prince Johannes was now being called as "King Johannes"

Just like what his father had, king Johannes even ranked up a soldier that supported him to a General and assigned him to guard him just like the deceased general Stone

With the help from Ingrid, King Johannes was able to return the order of Ingra kingdom after a few days in solving all of their problems, from logistics to military and agriculture

Aside from him Lily, Luke, and Queen Empress Evelyn, returned to the newly under constructed Eldion Empire, with the castle slowly getting build up, the royal family now declared the stepping down of Queen Empress Evelyn from the Ruler's position and assigning Lily as the new Ruler of Eldion Empire

Starting from that moment Lily was now then called Queen Empress Lily, while the former Queen Empress Evelyn was now called Royal mother Evelyn

With the guide from her mother and support from the Adventurers, Lily was able to overcome the crisis in their empire thus almost constructing her as a responsible Ruler

Not only that with the liberation of Hibiki from Raguel, Hibiki was then brought back to the empire as he was taken care off by Queen Empress Lily or just simply Lily

As per the situation in the Demon Continent, Seralyn became the new ruler of the Demon's as the castle was easily reconstructed by the use of Kaido's elemental manipulation

As Seralyn became Demon Queen Seralyn, the new ruler of Demon's, she then reformed the ranks of the Demon's inside the castle in fact she also reassigned a new person to be the fourth vassal of the Demon Queen, whole the others such as Belial, Hepta, and Larval was able to still keep their own positions

At First Seralyn wanted to make Kaido as the fourth vassal, but of course Kaido rejected such offer and instead just chose to control Seralyn from the shadows and pretend as her royal advisor

So in turn Kaido stayed to finish his own goal of killing Asuto and forming ways to return to his own world

******

Walking alongside Larval and got assigned not only as his temporarily assistant and trainee, but also as the new fourth vassal of the Demon Queen and the youngest among the four, even Larval himself was quite speechless despite his long life as a vassal not only for the previous Demon king bit also to the current Demon Queen

"Still I can't believe that the young Queen would actually assign a vassal position to a Succubus... What is she thinking? What can they do in a war? Charm their opponent to death? Unthinkable" complained Larval as he walked along the corridor

But as he complained about this Sylvia then hovered near him as she heard him complain thus causing her to pout

"What's wrong with being a Succubus? We're all a Demon right? That's mean we have right to become a vassal too"

Glaring at her with his empty skeletal eye socket, Larval just gave an exasperated sighed as he shook his head

"You can't expect me not to complain, you guys didn't even joined the war, this not proving your credibility as an asset to this new era" said Larval

Of course many tribes and clans didn't join the Demon army in this war, this their numbers were quite limited as their species are

Example of species that didn't join the Demon king's army were the Naga's, Succubus, Indra and many more

"Just trust me! I Sylvia am swear to protect the Demon Queen at all cost" she swore as she hovered infront of Larval

Irritated Larval immediately pushed her aside as he said

"You don't have to protect the Queen"

Confused Sylvia then hovered near him and asked

"What do you mean? Are you saying that the Queen is a powerful being that doesn't need any protection at all?" She asked

Hearing that for some reason Larval snickered as he said in somewhat arrogant tone

"No... I mean in think anyone would be dead first before they got to her, after all that guy is beside the Queen and giving her orders on how to quickly rise her power"

"That guy? You mean the human that I saw at my arrival at the castle? The one near the Queen? I thought he was a slave" exclaimed Sylvia

Upon hearing that Larval became so speechless when he heard that the newbie vassal actually called Kaido a slave

"Your lucky he wasn't here, or else he might have killed you"

"Kill me? What can a human do..."

Just before Sylvia finished her words, Larval immediately cuts her off as he said

"He killed a Celestial being, nearly brought the whole world into chaos, not only humans but all other species feared him including some of the Elves who didn't know better... But what's more scarier is that he is being doted by all three other Calamity Class Beings cause he is the youngest calamity class being"

When Sylvia heard that, he movements became stiffed as she was shocked by the Revelations she just heard and the abnormal status and reputation that kaido had

Not only that but Calamity Class Beings were doing on him

In this world aside from few old people, many Demon's knew about the existence of a Calamity Class Beings and how it is depicted that it is rare for someone to meet them, much likely gather them

What's more the human itself is a Calamity Class Beings, an upper Pinnacle of power in this world

After being stunned Larval then led Sylvia towards the grand chamber in which they were being called upon by Seralyn

"Just remember to behave yourself" reminded Larval before entering the room together with Sylvia

Upon entering a serious atmosphere permeated the place as everyone acted casual with each other since they were acquaintaned

Around the table in which everyone was gathered stood the four Demon Queen's vassal Belial, Hepta, Larval, And Sylvia

Along them aside from Marxcus who was standing by the side were Argos, Aileene, Fengris, and Kaido who was sitting on Seralyn's chair while the Queen was nowhere else sitting on the armrest of the chair

Even though such sight could be called a blasphemy for such treatment, none could actually voice out their complain since Kaido has them all under him since he got the current Queen under him too

"Even though I'm the Queen..." Pouted Seralyn

"Stop pouting! I'm tired of standing all the time, just let me sit for this whole sorry for the excuse meeting" replied Kaido as he didn't get off the seat

At the moment everyone was gathered inside, the meeting then gone underway as the one that joined the war just knew exactly what was going through Kaido's mind

"Let's start the meeting!" Said Argos with a smile

For some reason even though she don't know the full knowledge about Argos, Aileene, and Fengris, she really thinks that they are human's or demi-humans since she couldn't feel any demonic presence from them

Starting from kaido, the person himself talked up

"What did you guys found out?"

With that Larval answered

"I've gone to the places where the the most contaminated purple energy was greatly used and plus successively got some bit's of it"

Hearing that everyone's focus shifted to him

"In the end I conclude that such energy didn't came from any known being in this world" said Larval

"Are you saying that it's from another world?" Asked Hepta

"Most likely" replied Larval

"Unbelievable! Who would believe such a nonsense?"

"I do..."

Hearing that they all turned their attention to Kaido, as the person himself easily believed such a word

"What? You've got to be kidding me? Have you lost your mind human? Why would you believe about such..."

But before Hepta could finish the atmosphere around her suddenly turned chill as her body got a slight frostbite from it, as Kaido said

"Shut up and sit!"

Pressured Hepta then sits back down which surprised Sylvia as she too felt the cold atmosphere, thus became confused

"Little to everyone here I'm from another world, thus such wording is true, if it came from another world then it's a possiblity that can't be set aside" said Kaido

Of course such information stunned everyone especially the other three, causing them to solve the fact that Kaido know nothing of their existence when they first met

"So? What's that strange Mana that can even compete with Calamity Class Mana in terms of corrosion?" Asked Fengris as he too had a hard time damaging enemies with strange Mana on their bodies

"After that I've searched for multiple possible outcomes from histories, and books in the relocated library... And just as I expected such record was found during the ancient era of the first millennium, it's called the Void" said Larval

"The void?" Asked Seralyn surprise

"A void energy..." Repeated Aileene

"In my research I found out that such energy had a huge percentage of corrosion as it's like a highly contaminated chemical, anyone not built for this kind of Mana will instantly die upon touch" said Larval

After hearing such information all of them begun discussing such information in their small little group

"What about the one who killed my father? Do you know about him?" Asked Seralyn as it was obvious that she intend to avenge her father

Sadly Larval shook his head as he replied

"The books only depicted the history of the Demon race, not the other race"

Hearing that Seralyn became dejected as Kaido suddenly spoke

"Don't worry about it's identification... I've already been searching for it, just focus on knowing what he's up to and how we can get to him"

With that all of them focused on Kaido

"What do you mean? Are you saying your investigating that person?" Asked Larval

"No more likely I'm skimming through the documents, after all I've requested them from a certain person who is as old as the world and the one who kept the akashic records... A book who recorded everything that happened in the multiverse" said Kaido

Hearing that everyone became even more surprised to hear that someone was as old as the world

At this moment Argos spoke up

"Since we knew that he entered a rift, me and Belial over there tried to get as much information from a slight opening of the rift that we created after pouring what we knew about it... But based on what he said that "he's paving the way" we could conclude that he's doing something more akin and slight similar to summoning"

"But due to it's location that we still can't enter by any means... We can't even get to him, much likely kill him" said Belial

At that thought larval said

"No we can enter it"

"!!!!"

With that they all turned to him

"With my magic and Sylvia's magic which involves illusion, we might be able to create a path that would be big enough for an army to pass through"

Hearing her being called out even Sylvia was surprised as larval assured them

"How long will it take you to do all this?" Asked kaido

"A week and a half" replied Larval

"Mostly almost a month of waiting..." Said Fengris

"Aren't we going to be late to stop him from doing something?" Asked Aileene

"No we could be just in time... If my speculations is right, then time in the void moves slower than in here, meaning we could still reach him in time"

Hearing that everyone then nodded

After thinking for awhile Kaido thought for a moment as he think everything thoroughly as he wanted to kill Asuto without giving him a chance to revive or anything similar to it

For a thought he must find a way to come up a solution to against the voided Mana

"If my speculations are right... Then void Mana has an ability that can corrupt anyone,and turn that being into a mindless voidwalker that would fight against its own allies... I think it's called corruption" said Kaido

"And when did you get such an idea?" Asked Argos

"Those cloaked figures... I... Was observing them since they seemed familiar yet peculiar, plus this Asuto guy and me are almost identical when it come to manipulating people to do their bidding... And if my prediction is correct, by tomorrow night... Asuto would have a talk with me to either force me to join them or kill me"

Hearing that all of them exclaimed in shock including the three Calamity Class Beings

"So he's targeting you?" Asked Aileene as she wouldn't let some random guy kill what she recognized as a family and youngest sibling

"And I'm targeting him... It's an equal trade don't you think so?"

"....."

"But regardless of whatever happens... I want all of you to stand by and let me... Have a few talks with him"

"And what will the two of you talk about?" Asked Aileene

"Right for our existence"
