[Demon Continent]
As the four calamity being gets themselves ready, Aileene in particular started gathering a large amount of Mana to transport themselves towards a particular spot in the human continent
At Kaido's request they plan on being sent towards the the part where the most highest point of Mana are being gathered, not only that but also qualifies as close to the Empire as well
It took her about quite awhile to find the preferred location, but after few squicks and turn of searching they finally found their desired spot due to it's Mana being mostly hidden from any detection for some reason
After confirming the location she reached out her hand and started drawing up the magic circle
Since the mass teleportation spell was supposed to be a space attribute magic, Aileene thought of something like an alternative way of achieving it, even though she herself was not capable of casting space magic
Using psyionic magic she can in turn touch at least the tip of space magic, which will atleast provide her enough means to do a psuedo-teleportation, all she needs now is Mana to co-op with it
With this large amount of man being gathered it is understandable that Aileene would be unable to use magic after this spell thus will leave her into pure close combat mode for the day
Taking atleast a whole day to recover from the Mana insufficiency means that they will have to atleast spend some time inside the kingdom for a day and won't be able to do a hit and run tactic
As the spell got completed Aileene eventually called out to the three other calamity beings who were just observing her magic formation from afar
"Alright! I'm finished! Hey! Get over here, were going to the humans settlement" she called out
"Human? It's been years since I've gone there" said Fengris
"So do myself, I'm just wondering on how much they have improved over the course of the years" said Argos
"In my opinion of slight feeling and memory i had good and bad ones of experience in that part of the world, well I'll clear it up once I'm there" said Kaido as he puts both of his hands on his pocket
Apparently Kaido's memory about the empire was still in a jumbled state, he somehow remembered the bad ones clearly, but for some reason he just have a hard time remembering the good ones
For him the good experiences he had experienced in that continent was somehow a blur and hazy distant memory
As everyone got themselves inside the magic formation, Aileene herself proceeded to activate the spell which blinded most of their surroundings for a moment before disappearing completely of their traces from the continent
******
[Hidden City's far edge of its border]
As the sky on that particular place darkened, a magic formation slowly started to draw itself out from the ground and shined it's brightest
After a moment that felt like a slowed minute, four silhouttes appeared on the middle of the formation which disturb the Mana that was gathering in that particular space
Their presence alone have already turned the weather grim until it most likely started to rain, which is apparent as Kaido's darkness aura was still leaking out due to him unable to properly conceal it
Cause of that the weather was slowly turning grim just of their presence alone, thus Aileene started complaining about it
"Hey! You should really control your aura, it's not even at the point of leaking, it already overflowing that even I am being drowned of it" she complained
"Kaido! Control your darkness aura atleast, it's quite inconvenient for us too you know" said Argos
"He's right!" Supported Fengris
"Conceal? Control? How?" He asked
"Seriously?" They reacted simultaneously
After hearing that Argos in particular stepped up and instructed him on how to actually do it
"Your mind is at distraught, your emotions are overflowing, you need to calm yourself like breathing in and out" he said
"But I am calm... I'm calm as I can be" retorted Kaido
"Surely you say that but your aura is leaking, alright how about try imagine a seal container and picture yourself as the jar that is containing a bunch of air inside" said Argos
"Yeah try that Kaido! After all controlling something in particular only needs a good mental visual image" said Fengris
"Logically that sounds stupid, but since you say so then maybe it is what it is... Fine! I'll try atleast" he replied
With that Kaido tried imagine an image of himself forcefully containing something inside his body, since he was born in a modernized world even though he lost mostly of its memory from back then, he would at least be able to have a mental image of.it from this bits of bits of hazy memory like a muscle memory or intuition
With that he compressed his aura and limited it's sourcing inside his body at most, proof of this succeeding was that the weather above them started to clear up as the darkness aura was being contained instead of overflowing
After that he somehow returned his attention back to their current situation
"This doesn't look like the empire" he complained
"That's because we're not in the empire yet!... Mostly this is the place where concealed magic are being gathered, if my experience serves me right, this thing is hiding something thus it's reason for the mana flow to be nearly undetectable even by the most advance detective magic" said Aileene
"Hoh! Doesn't that mean that the one who did such magic is quite capable and amazing caster?" He asked
"Indeed! But that is surely the case of beings below our ranks... . . As for us... " Said Aileene's as she placed both of her hands on her waist
At that moment Fengris came near the barrier and lightly tapped it, but due to it's action, the space however started to ripple out of control for a moment before returning to its original appearance
"It's quite fragile" he commented
"No it's sturdy! It's just that were already out of the norm for our strength that exceeds this barriers capacity, if we wanted to we could somehow take over this whole continent for ourselves" argued Aileene
"But still to think that a human is capable of such feat... Amazing!" Excalimed Argos as he looked up the barrier
"Is it really that amazing?" Asked Kaido as he placed his hand unto the barrier
But the moment he did so the barrier for some reason started cracking as the breaking point started crumbling starting from the place where he placed his hand
After awhile it finally crumbled on that particular spot thus traveling a different kind of lush green forest inside
"Crap! Looks like I broke it!" Said Kaido
"Whoa! Another extension of the forest! Something must have really been concealed here" said Fengris
"Don't bother about it you dumb mutt! We have a different objective here and we should focus on that" shouted Aileene as she directed it towards Fengris
"She's right! We can just explore this part in a later time" added Argos
With that the final decision was left to Kaido as he silently stared at the lush green forest at the other side of the barrier
At that exact moment he started remembering flashbacks of a forest from his past that somehow reminded him of this part, but since he have a different goal at the moment, he turned his back on that place and urged the guys to go on ahead
"Argos and Aileene is right! We have a different goal! We can't afford to get sidetracked" he stated
"Well! I'm fine with that" said Fengris as he gave up on his curiosity
After looking out on the distance in what seemed to be the location of the Empire, Kaido asked
"Now how can we get there?" He asked
"We could use magic to slightly allow ourselves to run fast or fly to that place? Or we could use Argos to carry us there..." Suggested Aileene
Hearing that Kaido chose the latter since the former actually would need them to Exhaust their Mana and stamina just to accomplish it
"The latter! It's more convenient!" Said kaido
"It's alright with me" followed up by Argos
At that agreement Argos begun to shift forward as he started to walk ahead to give a bit of space for his transformation
While walking his bones started cracking and his skin started scaling out before his body completely got engulfed in a black aura (darkness attribute) that obscure his transformation
Soon After two jet black wings spread out from that place before his size grew and the aura desintegrated thus showing up his Apocalypse Dragon form with the height of a four stored building
"Gigantic!" Exclaimed Fengris
"More like a huge lizard! Oh wait! He is a lizard" said Aileene sarcastically
"Well anyway we got ourselves a ride... This will be enough to get us to the empire! Everyone hop on" stated Kaido
Just as he said that everyone jumped over Argos back before the latter nodded and flapped his wings to bring them to the air and fly straight to the empire
Unbeknownst to them a single villager was hiding at some part of the trees right beside the barrier which was easily broke into by Kaido himself
The girl was coincidentally picking out some herbs on the edge of the forest when she suddenly heard and noticed a ripple in space being distorted and some voice being resounded behind the barrier
Due to fear of actually imagining the empire finally noticing the barrier, the girl hid herself completely out of sight, and due to her lack of Mana, the other four Calamity being thus regarded her presence as just an animal roaming the forest, thus saving her from being found out
But what surprised her the most was the voice that was so familiar to her at some point that somehow she remembered the voice in some part of her memory back when she was delivering at item to the central building where the person who was intended to turn the village into it's current city where mostly it's citizens were former slaves
When she took a slight peak over she somehow recognized the silhouttes of the person that has turned it's back on the forest, this suspicions were further strengthened when Kaido somehow glanced back at the forest for just a second
Upon seeing his face the girl completely remembered the person who went missing for atleast more than 8 months thus recieving no news of him by then, everyone of the citizens somehow lament that perhaps such person had already died cause of it's lack of communication, but all of those rumors were proved to be wrong as she saw Kaido's presence face to face
Even though he seemed different and his appearance was slightly changed, it didn't changed the fact that such person was Kaido himself
With such news that would break the ice for every officials of the hidden City, she was immediately determined to pass on the info towards the acting leader of the hidden City officials Princess Ingrid
"Kaido-sama! He's alive! He's here! Princess Ingrid needs to hear this... . . No everyone needs to hear this" she muttered as she quickly ran towards the city beyond the forest

[Eldion Empire]
After flying to what seemed like forever, the four Calamity being landed on a spot not far from the Empire's walls but is quite far for the guards to notice their presence
As they landed Argos in particular turned back to his human form with his clothes intact
"Alright we have arrived!" Said Argos
"We know" muttered Aileene
"But don't you think this place is too quite like, it's been glorified or something?" Asked Fengris
"Glorified?" Both Argos and Aileene asked in confusion
As they asked that they all turned their heads towards kaido who was staring down on a particular tombstone infront of it
"Kaido? Do you know this place?"
At that question Kaido seemed to calm himself down before baking it and replying
"Nope! It's not connected to me at all, so anyway let's get a move on" said Kaido as he turned his gaze towards the Empire's walls
"Well yeah! Now where to? It is your travel plan" said Fengris
"Heh! This will be more interesting, let's meet the King! Shall we?" Asked Kaido as he revealed a slight grin
After that the other followed suite via magic to travel from this point onwards
Back at the particular tombstone the words etched on that two stones were
