Meanwhile, in the royal entourage, the other clone of Yotsuchi has just arrived, informing the king about the encounter with the venator and the misfortunes that would have happened and this worries the king. The clone tells details of Krane's death and the damage caused to Kain, he also mentions that the creature has a small girl under its care, apparently the baker's daughter... one of the bodies found torn apart at the bottom of the entourage would be her father.

Kaido heard everything the clone says, he's on the wagon next to where the king and the clone are talking.

Kaido's features are taken by pure horror, Kaido and Akane played whenever they could with Liane the baker's daughter since she was rarely able to leave the house due to her illness, the poor girl has weak bones that can easily break because of this her father cares a lot for the girl's safety, so she rarely leaves the house. And that day her father decided to surprise her by taking her to see the event that would be the gambit test and cheer for her friends Kaido and Akane.

Kaido without thinking too much about the consequences of his actions... He opens the door of the carriage where he, his mother and sister are and getting off starts running as fast as he can towards the end of the entourage. The boy was so fast that nobody there could stop him. Akane hearing all the commotion coming from outside gets out of the royal carriage in order to understand what is going on. Before Akarus can explain the situation to her, Yotsuchi's clone crumbles into mud and dirt.

"No... The clone... I don't have time for explanations right now, Yami I want you to stay here and take care of the entourage, along with the remaining Sakura Knights... I will personally take care of this threat!!"

With a cold expression Yami responds.

“Yes my king, I will!!”

Remaining there in the royal entourage only Yami and two more Sakura knights being the new recruit, Yard and the old, and experienced Adonis. The rest of the knights outside Yotsuchi, Lyard, Kain are in the capital with Sakai in order to ensure the protection of the kingdom. The order of the Sakura Knights is made up of 12 strong warriors who act as the Knights of the Sakura family, and as protectors of the kingdom.

Akarus leaves towards the end of the entourage, he quickly arrives there, but no sign of little Kaido. Akarus is surprised that the boy ran into the forest at such speed. Already in the royal entourage Kanami seems very worried about Kaido's safety, Adonis realizing this approaches her to comfort her saying.

“Don't worry so much, Kaido is a strong boy!”

Kanami without thinking too much answers Adonis, in a way that leaves him surprised and curious.

“That's exactly why I worry!!”

Meanwhile already inside the big forest Kaido runs, the boy is already out of breath but keeps running more and more into the dense and cold forest in order to help his friend.

Almost arriving at the place where the battle is, Kaido sees Lyard apparently passed out below a tree, possibly he was thrown with great force and far away, Kaido thinks.

He runs a little more and finally he arrives, Kaido glimpses the big tree in the middle, he is enchanted with that vision Kaido had never seen such a big and imposing tree. He takes a few steps towards the tree and sees his dear friend resting under the tree, apparently, she is sleeping he thinks.

Two more steps, two more steps and it was enough for Kaido to realize the horror he had landed in. He steps in a puddle, when he realizes this when he looks at the ground he sees that he was actually stepping on fresh blood, a lot of blood was under his feet. Kaido raises his face forward as he notices the body split in two of the young knight Kain, it is a sight of complete horror that makes the poor boy nauseated so badly that he falls to the ground and starts vomiting.

Kaido then hears noises of what seems to be a struggle, walking a little more trying not to vomit again, when passing next to Kain's trunk, he sees Yotsuchi who at that moment seemed to be fighting for his own life, Kaido could feel it somehow forms the fear coming from him.

Akarus already inside the forest, running as fast as a wild animal runs after its prey. He suddenly stops his charge inside, puts his hand under the hilt of Excalibur and says.

"Show yourself... It's no use disguising your presence anymore, I've already noticed!!"

From behind one of the trees, a hooded figure appears, who just laughs at Akarus without saying anything else.

“I don't have time for games get out of my way soon, or I won't be merciful!!”

Says Akarus already very angry.

The being present there makes an attack towards Akarus, in an attempt to deliver a direct blow to the head of Akarus, the same with an almost imperceptible movement of his sword, he splits the mysterious man in two, falling under the ground apparently dead.

Akarus starts running again when he dodges a blow coming from his back, when he turns around, he sees the cloaked figure standing, it's as if she hadn't suffered any damage from his sword strike.

“What are you… Definitely not human!!”

Akarus asks the creature without expecting to hear an answer but is surprised by the being who does. The humanoid creature in front of him seems to stare at him, even if you can't tell because of his cloak that covers him and then he says.

“The boy… I can feel it…!!!”

Boy, thinks Akarus, he's probably referring to Kaido, he finishes his thoughts by taking the sword in a slightly different wielding motion, it's probably going to be a big charging attack on Akarus' part.

“It's time to wrap this up, you've already taken up too much of my time, I'm going to tear you to pieces!!”

Says the King with great grandeur and attitude.

Gambit – Ragnarok

And then with a movement of his sword in a side cut, several particles around the sword that begin to unite and form ice crystals, when launching this attack from where Akarus is, this crystal grows in an enormous way, tearing the ground and going towards the hooded being, it's as if massive ice was created out of thin air. It is impossible for the humanoid creature to dodge this attack as it was delivered at such close range. It is noticeable the damage that the Akarus attack did to the flora and probably the fauna as well, a huge trail of ice as if it were a skiff that is only seen in the extreme north of Norfthurn Arbun. Several birds fly from the place, the noise in the place can probably be heard in the entire kingdom of Arbun.

Akarus, not wanting to see the outcome of his attack on the creature, thinks that that should be enough to at least stop it. With that in mind, he dashed deeper into the forest in order to locate the young Kaido as quickly as possible.

It seems the further Akarus runs the farther he finds himself until...

He arrives at a place with a single tree in its center and around it a large area without trees. The place smells of blood and wet mud, it has started to rain, a light rain that gradually intensifies.

Akarus looks with desperate eyes for Kaido and sees him... The boy finds himself just ahead of him looking towards the tree, a creature fighting Yotsuchi, who by the brief analysis of Akarus is already on his last legs and appears to be just winning time against that thing.

Akarus starts walking towards the boy, when he realizes that the creature has been advancing against them because Yotsuchi retreats from the creature right in their direction, that's because the knight probably didn't notice them there.

Before the confrontation of the two could reach kaido and Akarus, the creature is pushed towards the trees in the corner of the field by something that looked like chains, but definitely weren't... they had what looked like rosary beads.

Yotsuchi falls to the ground at the last second when trying to dodge an attack that would come from the creature. Sighing in relief and panting non-stop, Yotsuchi notices the two right behind him.

“Arrfff… Aarrff…what?? Hahaha... Looks like my clone did the job!!..."

Yotsuchi notices that both Akarus and the boy look to the other side where the venator was thrown and see three knights in black cloaks, both were positioned close to each other, but two of them were holding the creature by this kind of rosary with giant beads. The rosary was in the fist of each one wrapped in it, while its beads were looking towards the creature it was noticeable that the beads were increasing in size until close to the creature, they already took the form of beads that looked more like large pieces of rock.

The middle knight, who was probably the captain there, prostrates himself in front of the two and begins to recite what seems to be some kind of ancient song.

“Venator te revocamus ab hoc mundo, qui libram in regno nostro amisisti, teque ad velum chaos reddimus !!!...”

The knight recites the words while holding a very large book with black covers.

Yotsuchi is better able to turn around to ask his king.

“My king what is he doing… what is he saying??…”

Akarus, without taking his eyes off the man who begs the creature, answers his knight.

"It's a kind of sealing ritual for venators, he's using ancient words long forgotten by this world... I know this man..."

Kaido follows everything with his eyes, the boy seems extremely surprised with everything he is seeing, none of that seemed real to the boy's eyes.

Soon after the words are recited, the venator begins to howl and struggle more and more, the creature begins to be attracted to the book, still chained by the rosary beads, it tries to struggle in order to free itself from them, but without success it is attracted closer and closer to the book until next to the three knights the creature begins to be swallowed by a wind coming from inside the book that swallows the venator inside it.

The climate that used to be one of tension, fear, uncertainty and horror is no longer maintained.

Yotsuchi, still sitting on the ground, sighs in relief that everything is over and with him still alive, he laments that his companions cannot enjoy the same fate as he looks at Kain's remains.

"I haven't seen him for many, many years emm... the king's majesty!... I believe that since I was banished from the human kingdom, isn't it?..."

Says the tall man in the black cloaks and cloaks as he approaches Akarus, the man has an older look curly black hair with a bit of gray in it.

“Well, I see that the order has done him very well, he seems to me a new, more honorable and just man... or maybe it was his age hahahaha....”

Answers Akarus as if the answer is already on the tip of his tongue.

As the two began a brief dialogue between them, Kaido walked over to his friend Liane who was resting motionless under the shadows of the large tree.

Kaido crouches beside the girl, taking her hand, she is cold... Kaido looks at her... his face is pale, he touches her cheek subtly, she is cold...

“Noo… no… I couldn't make it in time…!!”

Kaido can't hold back his tears and starts to cry nonstop, but something isn't right. From the little boy, black particles begin to appear, it is as if water were flowing from the bottom to the top, but black, the boy's hair begins to take on a whiter tone.

Kaido cries with his hands on his face, his eyes no longer have the same color as before, his eyeball is black with a red iris and a yellow diamond detail.

From his forehead, a small white horn begins to appear, two black stripes take possession of his face, going from above his forehead to below his eye until they reach the mouth, one on each side close to the eyes.

His mouth gets bigger, his teeth sharper like a predator's... his mouth is now so much bigger than it was before that it's impossible for him not to salivate.

The air becomes denser, heavier, more rarefied, difficult to breathe, it's as if all the air in that place was sucked into a vortex.

Back in the carriage, Yami widens his eyes with a bizarre expression when he feels a huge pressure coming from the forest, before that he had even heard big bangs and what seemed to be Akarus's gambit, but now it's totally different, it's a force that stops the most sensitive ones can be felt from far away.

“It’s like the purest essence of chaos…!!”

Whispers alone Yami, looking at nothing.

Already in the carriage where Kaido's mother is.

"Noo... it will happen again... and I'm not there to stop it..."

Says Kanami with her hands raised to her face with an expression of panic and fear.
