[Hidden City]
News about Kaido's reappearance spreads throughout the higher-ups of the hidden City
The first one who heard such news was Okou, at first it took him awhile to process out the information that was given to him, but after much deliberation he then started to panic and ran over towards the everyone about the recent incident at the west edge of the Hidden City
Upon reaching such news to Ingrid, joy and confusion filled her at the same time, she was happy that such news has arrived about findings of Kaido, but also confused on why didn't he enter the hidden City even though he should've known the place
Together with the code aide's or rather acquaintances of Kaido, Ingrid and the rest immediately headed straight towards the west edge of the Hidden City
Upon arriving they immediately saw the huge crack on the barrier that was displayed before them, with this the words of the girl that reported such incident to them are quite reliable
With this proof of activity, Ingrid immediately asked Anna about her analysis about the barrier whether this is done recently or may have been here all this time
Nodding to her request Anna then came forward as she examined the barrier herself, but upon contact on the surface of the barrier, black aura suddenly assaulted her thus pushing her a few miles back which shocked everyone greatly
"Anna! Are you alright?" Asked Ingrid
"Yes! Apparently I was assaulted by a left over Mana on the barrier, but Kaido-sama... . . That's impossible Kaido-sama doesn't have Mana and yet why am I assaulted by Mana if he himself was the one who touched it?" Asked Anna
"Are you saying that the girl lied to us?" Asked Okou with great confusion and dismay
"Yes! Or she may have been fooled by an illusion magic" stated Anna
"Then if that's the case then Papa hasn't really shown up yet" said Sui as she started to become disappointed after coming this far
"I'm afraid so... " Replied Anna
After hearing that everyone turned gloomy for some reason thus causing everyone's morale to plummet
But then Reinbach who was just at the corner observing the whole situation suddenly spoke up
"Didn't we have Anna-dono with us know a spell that can project the past happening?" He suggested
Upon hearing that Anna begun to realize that she can do such thing, while everyone else was shocked of such news since Anna only used that kind of spell when she was only together with Melfina, Jack, Kaido, and the Hero's party
Upon remembering it Anna immediately lightened up as she stood up and goes outside the barrier and started to draw the formation as she took out a crystal catalyst from her bag, the same type of crystal she used as a catalyst when she used the spell to cast it on the whole destroyed town
After awhile Anna begun chanting some kind of a long chanting spell with 8 words each 5 lines, after completing her spell she lightly tapped the tip of her staff on the ground thus causing a nonagon shaped spell formation to spread out beneath her
"Past Projection!!!"
After saying the name, the whole place begun reconstructing the scene that happened a few minutes ago on this exact place
Firstly what showed up was the three calamity beings namely Argos, Aileene, and Fengris talking to a certain someone who was forming up
Upon completion even though with slight differences fr the past image he had, it was no doubt that the person was Kaido who seemed to have gone a great transformation and switch In personality
On seeing him one more time, tears swelled up to everyone that was close to Kaido, which in this case was Sui, Okou, Anna, and Ingrid
While joy instead spreads out to people like Pablo, Reinbach, Eli, Lilith, Luke, Lily, Queen Empress Evelyn, Sarah
Sadly both Rebecca and Melfina was not on the venue but they were determined to tell her the good news that they received
Next up was that they were having a conversation at such they couldn't comprehend, and for some reason Kaido's attitude and behavior has reverted back to the same attitude he have when he first got to this world and before meeting everyone currently
"Anna! Can you insert some sound? It seems like we can't even understand what they're saying" complained Ingrid
"I can do that much" she replied
Upon hearing that Anna begun drawing up another magic formation and activated it thus making them understand the words that were coming out of their mouth
The first one they heard was Fengris talking about the secret of the forest that was hidden within the barrier, while Kaido seemed to try reprimanding him
Contrary to his arrogant attitude when facing his old acquaintance in the past, this time Kaido seemed to talk to them from an eye to eye basis which showed how much he respect these three unidentifiable people
Next up they heard Kaido's words on focusing on their main goal and not seemingly interested what's hidden in the forest
With this notion they further realized that Kaido have somehow forgotten about them, as if such memory about the were wiped out from his mind
Upon coming to this kind of resolution, they started to imagine the pain and suffering Kaido endured in the Demon Continent which led to him forgetting everyone and everything completely
"He... . . He doesn't remember us" stated Queen Empress Evelyn after examining the situation
"Or more like he doesn't have a memory about us, in which just showed how much he have gone through on the inner part of the Demon Continent" added Luke
"That is true since after all, he trusted this three new companions of his rather than us who have been with him the longest" deducted Pablo
"And the way he acted towards them is somehow full of respect and admiration as if indicating that such people were equal to him" added Reinbach
Upon hearing that they once again turned their attention back at the three new face they found
Even though that such group only consist of four members, Kaido's old companions during adventuring were dismayed yet jealous that Kaido found a more reliable companions than them thus lowering their morale and confidence
"Hey guys! What about the Mana on his body? Didn't Horus told us that his power doesn't do well with magic? And if two different forces collides inside his body then he will die?" Said Sarah upon realizing such an event
Upon hearing that everyone that was in the Elven Nation before, completely understood Sarah's words thus they became even more worried for Kaido in this kind of situation wherein Kaido has magic residing in his incompatible body
Unknown to them Kaido went through a hella of a transformation and flashbacks that somehow he needed just to push him further into Oblivion, also they didn't even know that by the day he spent getting closer to his goal Kaido was somehow slowly but surely sinking in the darkness within him
But after observing for a minute or two, Kaido didn't explode at all but rather looked healthy, buffed, clean, and more evil or devilish than before
"He didn't die? Did something happened to him to be able to reconstruct his body composition to enable him to atleast store magic inside his body?" Stated Pablo
"If that was the case then doesn't that mean that Kaido-dono now has the ability to conjure scientific power's and magic?" Deducted Reinbach who was later been known about Kaido's past after the meeting with princess Ingrid about few weeks ago
Upon observing Sui suddenly reacted to Kaido's Aura
"Papa! He's covered with something black, pitch black that seemed ominous... . . It is the same as the aura on the barrier just now, what's more it's not only him but rather all of them have black Aura an aura of darkness itself"
Upon hearing her they once again focused on his aura thus upon closer observation sent chills run down their spine
But most of all both Anna and Lily fell down shaking their whole body in fear of the insurmountable aura that was being hidden by the four of them
Upon noticing their reaction, everyone immediately attended their situation and thus the two of them shared their insights with everyone especially on what they found out
"Kaido-sama... . . He's completely covered, he's different" said Anna while shaking all over
"Kaido... . . He's not the same Kaido that we know before, if I compare it right then this version of his m is way powerful than his previous self" said Lily while also showing just how scared she is towards Kaido
Soon after a tear fell off her eye as if she was truly scared of Kaido, unfortunately this was further amplified by the other three people that are the same as him
"This guy's... . . Their aura is much more domeanering than Hibiki, if I compare he bought keep to them, I would say that the difference is so huge that Hibiki would be just asking for a beat up" she added
"They're monsters, they're beyond logic and limit of a human, Kaido isn't a normal human anymore... . . He's something else" added Anna
Upon hearing that Reinbach suddenly brought out a crystal orb that was often used by the Adventurers Guild when testing their newcomers
As he walked infront of them, he deliberately held the crystal infront of Kaido and display it, after that he held it towards the other people thus showing their status
Next up he searched for the similarities they have in common that led them different from your average humans and transforming into something ominous
After awhile the crystal orb found something that caused them to be curious about such title
******
Child of Calamity
******
Upon receiving that Ingrid immediately ordered for the immediate action on finding the meaning behind the title in which led to them having the same attribute with each other
Spoon after they heard Kaido's words of attacking the empire in which shocked Lily, Luke and Queen Empress Evelyn
At first they thought that it was a joke since the empire is heavily guarded, but if it is coupled with this three unknown people, then it might be possible, thus sent shivers ran along their spine
But what surprised them the most was the ending part wherein one of the guys suddenly walked ahead of them and started transforming into a huge her black dragon
Upon seeing this, not only marvel and fear could be seen on their faces but also confusions and shock, due to the story or rather rumor's that dragons have become extinct for about 800 years ago
But upon seeing this, they all was so shocked about the survival of a dragon in this time of age and era
With that they gazed at the leaving silhoutte of the dragon upon heading towards the empire
As they left Ingrid immediately gave instructions to the group of people
"We need information! Current Indo on the Empire's state, also looked up for the meaning of the title... It may held some answers on why Kaido is acting this way" stated Ingrid
With that everyone immediately nodded in agreement thus making them determined to know about the process that leads Kaido in this situation and behavior
"I'll tell Melfina and Rebecca about this" said Ingrid
"Can I come with you?" Asked Sui who suddenly showed up and showed more concern for Kaido than her
"Sure! Let's do this together"
************
[Eldion Empire]
Upon receiving the report of the successful voyage of the whole army against the Demon's in Screa Port City, king Emperor Ergo decided to held a feast for this kind of successful celebration with an intent to boost the morale of the empire
Of course Duke Agra agreed to such order of the King Emperor himself
He was also proud that his son was one of the guys who showed much results when fighting in the front lines albeit even if he was far from the main fight, thus enlightening him with full of enjoyment and happiness
"This is a great day for the empire to celebrate our victory right?" Asked King Emperor Ergo
"Yes your right your majesty! We should also announce this to our people later on to raise their morale" suggested Duke Agra
"That what I was planning on doing later, but I'm relieved to know that we have minds alike" said King Emperor Ergo
"I'll take that as a compliment" replied Duke Agra
With their joyfulness running amok in the air, they didn't notice that after some time of walking they have unintentionally entered the throne room together with six knights on each side
Unfortunately upon entering they were immediately pressured by a heavy atmosphere that they never felt before and killing intent that they never experienced before
Soon after they realized that they were surrounded by three people on their sides at behind them
What's more a familiar looking face was staring the down on them from the throne that he was sitting upon with his red eyes seemingly glowing in the shadow of the day
"You... . .bastard! Why are you here?" Growled King Emperor Ergo
Upon hearing this Kaido arched up into a smile
"Long time no see your majesty!"
