Chapter 299: Mobilization

[Demon Continent, Demon Queen's castle]

After Asuto left with a threat towards Kaido, the person himself however made his move to raid the place where Asuto is located

He doesn't know what's it's plans yet but he won't give up, after all he's not in a hurry to do anything

With his goal of killing Asuto to gain his right to return to his old world and end this all, Kaido even felt more energetic than usual, since the time where he returns was coming near

On the way to the ground as everyone became rather busy, Kaido was doing a last check up before she sent anyone away

"In few days time were going to raid the place where Asuto is, at those times Larval!... I want you to figure out how to create a rift"

"I can do that much... But don't expect to much" replied Larval

"Don't worry I'll think of something by that time..." Said Kaido

After that he faced everyone once more and said

"Gather every strong clans and it's army with them... If they don't comply, then show them what we're capable of... After all this is not a drill nor a play"

"You can count on us!" Said Seralyn

And thus after a few exchange of words everyone begun to set off to different places in the following with their respected people who will convince the various places

(Naga clan, Abyssal Demons)

Demon Queen Seralyn

Marxcus

Belial

(Undead clan, Lich)

Larval

(Succubus, Incubus)

Sylvia

(Titan clan)

Hepta

(Fenrir kingdom)

Fengris

(Dragon Tribe)

Argos

(Vampire society)

Aileene

With those being assigned, Kaido on the other hand got a job of finding out how to get to the other side, since only by creating a rift of his own would he be able to do the raid and kill Asuto

As everyone left the area Kaido then lastly approached Aileene who has returned to her Loli form

"Aileene"

"Yeah?"

"Can you help me on something?"asks Kaido

"Sure! What can I help you with?" Asked back Aileene

"I want to cross planes but I can't use a huge teleportation magic nor a device... I don't even have money to spare"

Hearing that Aileene then put her arm on her shoulder as she smirked

"Is that all? Well that was easy"

At that declaration Aileene tossed Kaido a type of crystal and said

"That's a teleportation device... I've found that once before but since I know how to teleport using magic, that device really haven't been useful to me, so I hand it over to you so that you can use it... Pretty neat eh?"

Hearing that Kaido slowly nodded as he asked

"How do you use this?"

"Simple you just have to thought of the place that you want to go to, then it will bring you there... Pretty convenient right? I don't know who created that, but I can say that he's a genius" praise Aileene

Hearing that Kaido immediately thanked Aileene as he then saw her off and used teleportation magic to depart

With her gone, Kaido then decided to head off somewhere as he needs to do something first before going head to head against Asuto

Putting on his hoodie, Kaido then thought of the place where he wanted to go to, for some reason when he thought of a place, a distant memory of his showed him a scene of a castle

With that thought in mind he then disappeared from the continent

[Ingra Kingdom's Inner Castle]

Walking along the hallway with some advisors on either side of him, King Johannes then begin listening to the annoying voices of his ministers and advisers regarding the cultivation of land, improvements of military power, and about a political marriage for princess Ingrid to raise the power of the kingdom

Of course when King Johannes heard the third part, he immediately glanced at that Minister and glared while saying

"Don't ever mention that, if you want to keep your head" he warned them

"But your majesty! We can't let this be... The princess needs to be married off to raise our power, in fact I have few candidate kingdoms and their prince"

"He's right! You need to listen to us, even thought the late king did gave you the throne, it doesn't mean that your power should go to your head!"

"We haven't forgotten the treacherous deed you have done, but with the merciful late King Simon, your sins have been forgiven, thus you have no say to this"

Hearing that King Johannes begin to turn gloomy as he asks

"So you think I'm just a puppet who's easy to control? Don't make me laugh, if I could I would've obliterate you all, remember I almost destroyed the kingdom just for my greed" growled King Johannes

But contrary to his expectations, this nobles who doesn't know anything kept up their face as they thought that they were right

"And with that we still thought that you are an unworthy King, but with our help, we can slowly shape you up... So your majesty! Please cooperate with us and force your sister to undergo political marriage for the good of the kingdom"

With that King Johannes felt like his head would explode in fury upon seeing this ignorant nobles who doesn't know that someone was holding unto his life, and everyday he would always feel threatened by it

But as he thought of this, an arm swept up and was placed around his neck, for moment King Johannes somehow sensed the essence of death and its as if a blade was place before him

At the same time Kaido who somehow overheard their conversation spoke up

"You guys seemed lively! What are you talking about? Who's getting married?"

When he asked of this chills ran down King Johannes spines as he freaked his head towards Kaido who seemed to be suppressing the nobles who were still begging him to comply

"Kaido?" Asks King Johannes

Hearing his name, Kaido then glanced at King Johannes

"Do I know you?"

At that instant King Johannes seemed to remember the time when her sister Ingrid told him about Kaido's condition of losing most of his memories

"So it's true... You did lost your memories"

At this mention King Johannes glanced at his ministers and advisers who were fully suppressed to the ground as sweat streak pass them

With a thought he then ordered them

"Leave us! Also do not mention political marriages to anyone... My sister can marry anyone she likes, but I won't let you force her to marry someone she doesn't like" said King Johannes as he felt nervous all of the sudden infront of Kaido who kept observing him

("After all if I agreed, this guy would kill me") he thought to himself

Of course his ministers and advisers weren't stupid to oppose his decision since in just a few moments, the newly arrived person suddenly suppressed them as if they were ants

With fear swarming through their head, they immediately turned and walked away in fear that they might get killed

When they left King Johannes then glanced back at Kaido as the latter kept observing him

"For some reason, even thought this is the first time we've met, I have the urge to beat you right here" said Kaido

Of course King Johannes laughed it off

"Haha.... Please don't do that, in fact when did you get here? What's your purpose? And by the way I'm doing fine in shouldering all the responsibility of this kingdom just like you instructed" said King Johannes

Hearing that Kaido then reacted

"Huh? Isn't this the first time we've met? Stop joking around, as for the reason why I'm here... Actually I don't know why... Where am  I?"

At that moment King Johannes speculated something

"I bet your looking for my sister? Ingrid?"

Hearing a familiar name, Kaido then snapped his fingers in agreement

"Yeah! That's right! Where is that woman... Wait what? Both of you are siblings?" Asks Kaido in surprise

"Don't mind the little details, in fact she's not here... She's at the place called hidden City... Ring any bells? I'm pretty sure you've gone there before" said King Johannes

"I did... So she's there? I see no wonder I can't see her here, well anyway I have some use for her, since somehow I noticed she's devoted to me... So why not use her" said Kaido

At that moment King Johannes wanted to retort but lost the words to use

I'm a few moments King Johannes saw Kaido preparing to leave and his tired state of mind

"Kaido!"

"!!!"

"You look tired, your not planning on dying right?" Asks King Johannes

At that Kaido replied in an irritated form

"F*ck off! It's my life, I'll worry about it when the time comes"

Even though Kaido didn't really answered his question, he still took it as a no and saw him teleport elsewhere

"He really look tired though, I feel like he would die at any moment"

*********

[Hidden City]

Walking along the wide street of the city that was cultivated and improved by the former slaves, the people who were residents of this place and have lived here for more than a year now, had regarded such place as their home, inspite few of them leaving as they go back to their households

At first some merchants also called this aside from hidden City as the city of slave's

Of course crimes were still present here such as robbery, assault, and causing trouble, but such crimes were so small that it is almost unnoticeable

With the soldiers here that has kept the city safe, they were also assassin's who were hiding in the shadows keeping the city in order

At this moment Horus who was walking along the street of the hidden City and was heading towards the huge manor at the middle of the city to visit Sui, was currently with Cara her far off relative even though she was a Beastman

In fact Horus has a plan of leaving the record to her since he too wanted to go around and travel to various places, so all in all Cara was his successor as the guardian of the record

First time in this city of course Cara started looking around with eyes full of curiosity as she can't believe that such a city was made by former slaves and turned the desolate forest into their own home

But as she looked around Cara bumped into someone as she fell on her butt

"Ouch! Hey! Why are you blocking..."

But before she could finish, she suddenly saw Kaido glancing down at her with his cold red dark eyes as if kaido had turned into a demon himself

"Kaido?"

Of course as she spoke this out, Horus glance at Kaido himself and slightly opened his squinted eyes in surprise as he touched his white beard and somehow didn't expect to meet each other

"Kaido? Your here?" Asks Horus

Hearing an old voice Kaido looked at Horus and said in surprise

"You... Your Horus right? Great, I've got something to asks of you" said Kaido as he plans on asking Horus on how to open a rift

It must be noted the the three of them were standing before the huge manor, so anyone inside could clearly see them

But before Horus could answer, a child who was 9 years of age immediately ran over towards Kaido and hugged him tightly from behind as if she doesn't want him to go anywhere else any longer

"Pa... Papa!..." For a moment since Sui was so expectant of this meeting, as she longed for Kaido's presence she somehow immediately cried as she held him tightly after a long while of disappearance

Of course Kaido was taken aback as he plans to grabbed the girl and push her away

But the moment he touched Sui, some memories of his past such as him carrassing her head, returned to him

"What!?!" Alarmed and confused Kaido gritted his teeth as he shook his head ache off

At that moment he saw Ingrid who was wearing a one piece white long sleeved dress under her purple vest, looking like an ordinary woman from a city of his old world

For a moment he was stunned by this sight as he immediately shook it off after remembering his goal

Seeing the tired and dejected face of Ingrid after losing her father in the war, he suddenly felt wronged as he annoyingly spreads out his arm and said

"Do what you want woman!"

Seeing his arms spread out, Ingrid immediately ran over and cried on his shoulders as Kaido irritatingly comforted her by carrassing her back

Since Kaido wanted Ingrid to do something for him, this kind of treatment was a small price to pay since he doesn't care at all

For a moment both Sui and Ingrid felt a warm comfort spread all over them as if their fatigue was brushed away after seeing the person they longed for

Without saying anything Kaido looked away and wondered when will this end

Since he doesn't know how to comfort someone, he then said in a comforting tone (forced tone)

"... You did your best"
