Wielder of Excalibur's POV

My name is Athena, an apostle of light, champion of the gods and also a half-god. For many years I lived without knowing the truth of my origin. After living on for 500 years, I finally found out that I was half god. It was when the I was forced to fight against the demon god Valefar. He had found a way to interfere with the mortal world and descended to kill all the inhabitants of Dalfar. That was when I awakened my godly powers and was given Excalibur as a helping hand since they can't interfere. A god cannot interfere with mortal lain because they are compromised of pure particles and cannot enter the mortal realm which contains different particles interfering with god's existence.

Since Valefar had come to the mortal world he had only 1/3 of his full strength so he was defeated but after being awakened as half-god even I couldn't fully maintain my existence in the mortal realm so I had to stay in the Heaven's Realm. Now, already 1000 more years have passed with the war going between Hyandra and Dalfar.

I was suddenly called by Opium the god of Lightning who had the face of a dead person. To say the truth after coming to the Heaven's Realm I learned about more truth about the world than these foolish gods suspect. It seems these current gods plotted to overthrow the previous gods to interfere with the mortal plain and make it their playground. After living for many years I don't mind whatever they do with the mortals since they are stupid idiots who wants to be controlled by these foolish gods.

I loath these gods... detest them enough to slaughter them but alas I can't touch their existence since I am half-human. It seems they plotted against my mother Revira god of light, the true god of gods for falling in love with a human and turned her into a relic... that is Excalibur my sword. After wielding Excalibur for a long time I finally heard a voice... an angelic voice. The angelic voice was my mother's voice... I didn't believe it at first but I was bonded together with Excalibur so I couldn't deny it as well. We got closer and closer to each other making me enraged every time I think about those stupid gods.

After years of hellish suffering from being unable to get my revenge, I found the perfect person to make me get my revenge. The cursed being... and more over Opium himself informed me about him and has already been going insane due to the prediction of Naktasa. It was already predicted that he would be killed but the new prediction has made him even more scared as the prediction stated that he was gonna get devoured. I don't know how he's gonna get devoured but for me it was a chance to kill the gods.

Even if I say that I can't be reckless.... it seems the cursed demon is a ruthless monster from what I heard from Cornulla. He massacred all the 2000 elves and even managed to wound Leila that psycho bitch who liked pain to scream in agony. I have to make him submit to me and make him my personal servant or else I can't hope to get my revenge.

In order to get my plan in order I will have to get total control over his base of operation that is his homeland Hyandra.. Demon lords castle. It might take 4 years to get a control over it since I don't want to use my power recklessly since I have to conserve it for fighting against him and I have all the time I need since he's stuck at Dalfar. It's time begin the subjugation of Demon lords castle.

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

Hmm... so that apostle is still alive. It seems underestimating my opponent isn't good since magic can basically make miracle happen. But still to retreat just like that... it must have been the damage that accumulated through our battle. I directed each and every attack fatal enough to disrupt her internal organs but when she didn't show signs of any damage I was really lost but it seems my worry was not necessary... and next time it won't be the same. I will beat her down.

"Umm... oni chan you are making a scary face.." Kresta tells while shivering. Haa... damn and there's one more problem for me...

It seems in order to save me she gave me the collection of life force she stored in her 18 years resulting her to turn into a 4 years old child. Well, I am a child who is only 6 years old but I do have the mentality of a 46 years old but it seems in her case her mental age has also turned that of a 4 years old child.

I am happy that she went out to save me even though we barely knew each other, but I am not grateful either. I didn't ask for her help or neither her sympathy towards me. I don't want to be in debt to anyone but since she saved me it can't be helped. I really am a crazy guy... I long to be loved but deny it at the same time. Maybe it's because someday you will eventually lose that dear person who you care about and I don't want to get hurt since it pains the most when you lose someone important to you if its is because of you.

And either way I can't trust anyone since you never know what might happen. Even if you love that someone, there's a chance that you might get betrayed so I can't trust anyone but myself. But it doesn't mean I can't look over them. Since, Kresta has saved me I will take care of her but I will not make the mistake of trusting her since the world is twisted place where sometimes logic doesn't make sense.

"Ne.. oni chan what are we going to do now? We are stranded here... and it seems our camp was completely annihilated by the remaining elven army.." Kresta seems to be worrying about these kind of minor things... but it doesn't matter anymore, I have already made up my mind.

According to Kresta, it seems that the apostle retreated to Heaven's realm by teleporting which means it's a perfect chance to attack the elves and most of my wounds are already healed. And even if that apostle has retreated to the elves it means I can just get my revenge early. My main objective now is to get my revenge against that apostle and the gods. I will make them pay for what they did to me. Even if the god wasn't there, he did beat me up indirectly so that means he's on my blacklist.

So, the current objective is the total domination of the elves. And I don't mean their territory.. what I will dominate is their very mind and soul. I will completely make them obey each and every command.. I need to conquer Dalfar as fast as possible in order to wage a war against the gods. Even I am not stupid enough to fight them alone.. I need an army who is very loyal who doesn't sway very easily. For that I will first conquer the elves and make them my loyal puppets... yes I will not allow anyone to get in my way... the gods will pay as will those who stand with them.

Now to start the subjugation of elves.. with that completed I will be one step closer towards goal to kill the gods. I don't know why these gods are after me but I shall not tolerate any insolence even if that being is the so called gods but I won't get careless as I already suffered the consequences. I need to find a suitable weapon as well... with that our destination was the elven city.

"Kresta.. we are going to get some elven maggots..." With that said I made a sinister smile while Kresta was looking at me like I was some kind of insane person.

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

Alucard's POV

*pant* *pant* I barely got away from there... even though I have given up on the war I don't want to die. And more so with the information I just got.. it seems that Akira my nephew has beaten back the apostle and with that we got some breathing space but the fact remains is that is he alright?

I have gone into deep hiding with nothing but water for my source of food. I need to search for Akira and as well as Kresta.. Kresta has also been missing with Akira and I can only hope that she is alright. Damn it I am almost at my limit... I can't keep running forever... I have to find them no matter what.

Hmm!? After going through couple of hours I see a land filled with blood and destruction... craters are formed everywhere and blood is spilled almost at each and every part of the land. When I take a closer look I can see body parts lying on the ground.. some headless body, some disgruntled upper body and only a head of an elf with no eyes.

After seeing that even I a veteran soldier can't keep my composure... I throw up seeing this scene but it won't stop me because since all of these are elf I can say that it was done by Akira because Kresta can never do something so gruesome. I keep walking to find a cave... where there was a boy with no right arm and a little white haired kyubi girl who looked similar to Kresta. I finally found Akira but because of lack of food I collapse there... Damn it... I shouldn't have thrown up what little I had in my body... I hope they see me when they are out on their way...
