Chaos asked something quite direct!

"Tell me already. How did they found a fragment? Has someone handled them to you or the wild demons? Do you know where there are more fragments? How do you know about them? Tell me." Said Chaos, as he finished eating his plate.

The red-skinned demon king suddenly felt a tremendous dread presence coming from Chaos, it made him feel in complete awe! He felt paralyzed, and couldn't move.

"I… I know because we used to have it…" sighed the King.

"What?!" asked Belphegor in shock.

"You mortals had such a special item? Don't you know how dangerous they are? My lord is the only one capable of controlling them." Said Abyss.

"I… We were foolish! It was part of the treasure of our ancestors… when they escaped from slavery, they utilized this fragment to lead us to a bright future, controlling wild beasts and more, they made armies of monsters to survive and also to eat… this way, they became a nomadic race, and after some time, they managed to settle down and make this Kingdom… However, in a war a dozen of years ago, the fragment was stolen when we were trying to use it over a large group of wild demons…"

"So when they came back, they used it to pressure you instead?" asked Chaos.

"Yes… It was… a taste of our own medicine." Sighed the King.

"I see… well, I will be taking it with me. I hope you don't mind." Said Chaos.

"W-We don't…" said the demon king.

"Good to know, King. How about the other questions I asked? Can you answer them?" Said Chaos.

The King got a bit nervous, but before such might, he had to tell everything he could to ensure his own survival!

He began to speak with everything he knew, telling Chaos that the nearby Kingdom of Onyx had secrets regarding more fragments, and that the faraway lands of Sandara, which were a giant desert of ashes also had another thing resembling a dark presence from a fragment.

"Kingdom of Onyx and Lands of Sandara… Got it. We are done here so we'll get going." Said Chaos.

"Eh? Y-You're not staying to sleep?" asked the King.

"No I don't have time." Said Chaos, jumping out of the window of the castle haver having eaten his fill, everyone else stopped eating too and followed Chaos.

"Woah, wait!"

The King asked Chaos to stop but he flew away quite quickly.

"A-And there he goes… We only know he's called Chaos and that's he can manipulate and tame these dangerous fragments… What is his purpose?" wondered the King, looking at him from the distance.

Chaos flew through the skies as he checked his status.

Chaos felt like his soul was growing bigger, now that his Mana had achieved the 2 billion mark, it had grown bigger, like a giant black cloud… however, it was also solidifying better, and becoming more complete.

"I suppose we are not stopping." Said Belphegor.

"I have a bad feeling about this… I feel like something could happen, and I want to be prepared." Said Chaos.

"Something could happen?" asked Abyss.

"Indeed. I don't know if it is just being overly cautious or not, but my priority should be to go pick the next fragment as fast as possible… If a bigger threat than the Paladin emerges… Something that could even be of an higher Realm than me… Then what could I do against that? I have rested enough these last days." Said Chaos.

Belphegor and Abyss nodded.

"And we'll be there at your side, my lord." Said Belphegor.

"Indeed! But won't you evolve?" asked Abyss.

"I've found a way to evolve while moving, just protect me in the meantime." Said Chaos, he manipulated his own blood using Bloodwork and then used Chaos Magic to cover himself.

The blood formed a crystalized blood cocoon, while the chaos covered this cocoon and seemed to be moving at a fast speed across the skies towards its next destiny.

"We'll do! Please evolve in peace." Said Abyss.

"Thanks."

Chaos, coated on his mobile cocoon, looked at his available evolution options.

[Available Evolution Options]

[Void-Devouring Dark Shadow Vampire Dragon]

[Chaotic Destruction Dark Vampire Dragon]

[Phantasmal Specter Crimson Vampire Dragon]

[Vampirus Draken]

…

There were four evolution options for Chaos!

The first three seemed quite in the mood of what he wanted to evolve, but the fourth…

What the heck was the fourth evolution about? One could think it merely made the "Vampire Dragon" words sound a bit different… and that was it?

It was perhaps the most suspicious of the four…
