[Ingra Kingdom]

As the flames submerged a shadow of a person who's armor can be seen melted to some degree that he shows some skin

Okou is holding up his himself as he throws away his melted shield and looked behind him and his surroundings

Everything that was once near him melted to molten lava while both Rebecca and Melfina was still intact with only a slight burn on their skin

As he knelt down Rebecca and Melfina immediately shot out behind Okou as they engage Agra in a fast paced sword and dagger battle

As they fought princess Ingrid and the king followed by general Stone arrived only to see a devastating see of molten rocks at one part of the kingdom

Seeing this destruction princess Ingrid saw Okou kneeling down and gravely injured for he is the one who withstood the terrifying attack

"Someone aid him!" Shouted princess Ingrid

As the healers was about to approach Okou glared at them and said

"Stay there it's not safe here!" He said with blood shot eyes as if he wants to kill someone

Hearing this the princess, general, king, and multiple people have no choice but to only side characters for this fight

As Melfina attacks from every angle of Agra while simultaneously dodging his attacks, Agra himself became enraged and flapped it's wings to stop Melfina from moving

As she stops Agra punched Melfina to her stomach that it made Melfina groan in pain as she crashed to a nearby statue

After that Rebecca got near to Agra as she slashed his face

Getting slashed in the face Agra immediately grabbed Rebecca as she opens his mouth to spew out flames

But before he could do it Melfina appeared next to him as she grabs his horns and redirected the flames in his mouth

"Pesky little insects!" Roared Agra

With that agar throws Rebecca to a steel post and shook off Melfina

Being airborne Agra clenched his fist and punched Melfina to the ground

As she crashed rings after rings of cracks appeared on the floor

Immediately Agra held up his cursed sword as he slashed down but Okou quickly reacted as he blocks the attack and shouted

"HEAVY FORTRESS!"

As the sword landed it.buried itself to Okou's shoulder giving Okou the pain he never felt for so long

Spewing out mouthful of blood, Agra immediately pulled out and slammed Okou to the alley and stared at the gasping Melfina

"Don't touch her!" Groaned Rebecca as she tries to stands up

Hearing her words Agra kicked Melfina away and approached Rebecca slowly

"Your skills are not bad! But your equipments are kind of dull how mortifying" mocked Agra

The moment Agra stood infront of Rebecca did the latter realize how enormous Agra was really was

"Tell me... Do you want to live or die?" Asks Agra

Clenching her stomach Rebecca gritted her teeth and said

"We would never betray him! So fuck off!" She cursed

Hearing her the demon laughs as he raises his sword but the moment he did a war cry suddenly shot out

"Don't let them die! Kill that demon!!!"

As that resounded the soldiers and other warriors and mages rushed up to him to protect the three warriors commanded by the princess

Seeing her rash order the king turned his head to the princess

"Why would you let them charge up to that demon?" Asks the king

But in reply to this the princess just smiled

"We can't let that person rampage in the city or else it will be the end of us" she said

Hearing her the general immediately understood while the king was still confused but still trusted her

Seeing the humans rushing up to him Agra immediately decides to rush to the castle after all time was limited for the success of the invasion

As he speds up his speed he was immediately intercepted by multiple warriors so he has no time to waste and immediately slaughtered them all

************

Back to where the last fight occured princess Ingrid ordered the healers to heal up the trio

Out of all three of them Okou was the gravely injured one as he was the one who was loosing blood quickly

The demon was too strong for them and their equipment was too weak for such opponents

This defeat gravely imprinted themselves in their minds as the first time they displeased Kaido so much and told themselves to better themselves whatever they have to do

In Kaido's future ruling the weak will have to perish and only the strong survives, the only thing to could do to repay Kaido was to become his sword and shield but they failed greatly this time and unable to even contend with the demon

************

From inside the castle Kaido was actually seeing everything and clearly saw how the trio got beaten up by a measly demon, he was truly disappointed on them for being defeated

As he stares blankly at an empty space he sensed the prince metering the castle so he immediately went inside the throne room

***********

When the prince entered the castle he was relieved to notice that there were no guards, after he walks for a few minutes he arrived at the door of the throne room

Just as he was about to enter Agra appeared beside him as he says

"They're done for!" He said

Hearing that prince Johannes became reassured of his success so he opened the door of the throne room happily

But the moment the door was opened a pressure so heavy that it halts the prince advance and surprised the demon Agra

When they looked for the source of the pressure they found Kaido in his black attire and black coat sitting on the king's throne releasing such oppressive aura

Looking at him now the prince felt like he is facing a monster he never saw before and as for Agra even though he knows the demon king was somewhere else he felt that like he was infront of the demon king himself

Kaido was truly enraged by the failure or his group but kept a composed face and inspite of that his aura of murderous killing intent spreads out of the room which made the demon and the prince send shivers down their spine

Due to his unstable composure Kaido stared at them with blood red eyes as if he's looking into their soul

As he stares at them he said

"Now.... Isn't it too early for you to be relaxed?"
