[Guila Town]
Inside a wooden structure of the Adventurers Guild, the Adventurers themselves were just celebrating their victory against the split army of the demon army that was headed for Guila Town
As everyone was merry and joyful altogether, Rebecca in her fully blue blue attire from head to toe could be seen rushing in inside the building and headed straight towards the second floor with a shock expression on her face
As she ran along, the people however naturally gave her a way as a respect from someone who took most soldiers out in one go
Soon she finally arrived infront of the Guild master office as she suddenly opened the door and forcefully let herself in
Inside the office she could see both Guild Master Ben stacked on writing on a mountain of paperwork's and Melfina who was wiping her sharp knife and was giving it a shine on the chair
After seeing her she suddenly felt sorry for the guild master of this town's Adventurers Guild due to his sudden loads of works
After she put that thought aside she suddenly called out to Melfina as she conveyed a surprising news
"Melfina!"
"Hmm?"
"There were news that Kaido was seen alive!!!"
After saying that Melfina's body stiffened in surprise as she suddenly bolted up after being stunned by the news
With hurried steps she quickly got infront of Rebecca and puts her hand on top of her shoulders
"Are you sure? Can you give me the details?"
"Yes I'm sure the news in genuine cause it came from Ingrid herself, apparently witness saw Kaido outside the barrier but didn't even enter, in fact it jusf observed the forest before leaving with his companions towards the empire" answered Rebecca
After saying that Melfina suddenly felt something like a surging hope after many months of searching for him, thus with a load thud she stepped up and asked for a carriage back to the Hidden Town
Of course this was immediately prepared through the order of Guild master Ben, thus they eventually left the Guila Town later at noon right after it's finished preparation

[Eldion Empire]
Breaking through the horizon a surging holy power streak through the airspace as it suddenly came to a halt with such forces that blasted every small details of the destruction away
From the far outer of the wall she could see people slowly abandoning the empire and started scattering all over the world
The destruction of the once great empire was too much for them to bear, with most of its citizens dead the people soon felt disheartened, broke, and quite sorrow from what happened to their beloved empire
Not minding the people below Raguel proceeded to head straight towards the source of the sign which was at the former place of the castle among the crashed debris
Soon after he landed on the former spot where the throne room of the castle was usually located
Even though the castle was uprooted from the ground and fall like a meteor, Raguel couldn't even comprehend just what was hidden in the rubble as he came closer to the source
Soon after he finally arrived infront a magic circle that was emitting its aura
"What's this? A decoy?" Asked Raguel
Even though he held such question, he still continued to observe until she finally decided to activat under its own free will
After he did just that an amazed voice rung out behind him, of course such voice was deeply imprinted on his memory as such guy was already provoking him to such an extent
As he quickly turned around he immediately swung his sword only to hit nothing but air while the projection of Kaido behind him still remained on his part
As if it already saw that coming the projection suddenly said
"Well that was rude, well anyway anything you do to destroy this is useless" said the projection
Hearing that Raguel eventually let out a sigh
"You... You really amaze me you know!... . . Everytime I met you, you would always I mean always show up with killing intent as if you wanted to kill me, but now that I've grown stronger... You decided that you'll skip through me and attack the empire completely" said Raguel
After that he came closer as he said
"Are you that desperate to win that you'll do such underhanded means?" He added
In reply to that the projection of Kaido suddenly smiled
"Well using every cards I can use is only the right thing to do right? And plus whoever said that I was afraid of fighting you? You've really grown arrogant little birdie... Are you that too much arrogant that you even found me annoying at times? If your so powerful then eliminate me right now" provoked Kaido
"Don't push your luck!!! You've already been lucky that you've escape my grasp the last time we met, the way I remembered you were all bloody all over... Such pitiful state... Why don't you just die by my sword? It will be an honor you know?" Suggested Raguel as he started to ridicule Kaido from their last encounters
However instead of being provoked Kaido actually laughed aloud as he said
"Hahaha! Your really a dumb one right? Are you just born stupid? Let me tell you little bird who pretends to be an eagle... . . You damn faker!... Once I've gotten serious no matter how strong you are, you will always fall, don't be so gung-ho of your own achievements... After all they're just achievements of the past not the present" said Kaido
"And your point is? Sorry I just can't comprehend the words of someone who's weaker than me" said Raguel
In fact Raguel was really trying to agitated Kaido to atleast release a little bit of pressure so that he could fully locate his whereabouts, meaning he's intentionally provoking him to make him let go of his guard
"Hahahaha! You really think your above me? Don't be naive birdie! Haven't you heard the story of Icarus wings?" Asked Kaido
"What are on about?" Asked Raguel
"Icarus who aimed too high was burned alive or so I heard from the hearsay, my point is don't think that you are way higher than me cause if you aim for that I'll truly will clip your damn wings" said Kaido
Soon his figure vanished and appeared behind Raguel as it whispered
"In fact it will really just be easy for me to clip it right now... How nostalgic"
With a thought Raguel irritatedly slashed the debris behind him before letting out a statement for Kaido who was trying to get to him
"Your really annoying, tell me why can't you just stay dead? If you don't seize your actions now, I would really kill you"
"Hahaha! Many people claims to kill me and yet here I am still alive and kicking" said Kaido as he spreads out his arm
After that the projected Kaido suddenly took a step further as he came close to close to Raguel and stared at his eyes with his bloody red eyes
"Are you that confident cause of your light attribute? I don't think that's the case right? Now tell me... Just what makes you so sure that your way stranger than me?" Asked Kaido
"Is that even needed to scoffed at? Don't be a child, the way you act now is way too childish... We both knew that were trying to irritate each other but aren't you afraid that I might track you down using this formation that you created? I don't know how or what you did to acquire something like this formation or knowledge but know this... You and I stand in way different league, you may be strong on your field but to me your just an ant" stated Raguel
After hearing that the projected Kaido suddenly let out a sigh as he said
"I see... . . We both see each other as a nuisance... Well nothing's new about that after all" he said nonchalantly
"You see me as an ant, I see you as an ant, we both want each other dead, you and I are really compatible... . . I don'tt see why we can't just merely destroy each other now... But it's not time for me to clearly destroy you, so how about this... I'll let you in by emitting a slight pressure, I want you to find me in an amount of time"
Hearing that even Raguel couldn't help but cocked his head in confusion
"Just what are you on about?" He asked
After that Kaido revealed a wide grin as he said
"Why don't you take a guess?"
After that silence filled the air as both the projection of Kaido and Raguel stared at each other without emitting any kind of noise whatsoever
After a while of a silence Kaido stated
"You have few minutes left available to find me, in fact I plan to ditch you after the spell to transport me away is completed, but since you made this conversation with you quite interesting, I'll let you in into something huge"
"What..."
"Two tombstone..."
"!!!"
"Two tombstone, that's the only thing I'll tell you, it will be your own power and knowledge to know what place that is... I'll give you a few minutes after all... That's how much your time is remaining before I leave... Let's see if you can catch me... Hero"
After that Kaido cracked into a laugh as if trying to mock Raguel
As for Raguel himself he begun to ponder the hint that Kaido has given and thought of two tombstone together in one location, until his eyes shot open as he remembered that in that past he ordered two corpses to be buried together in one location east of the empire
After thinking it through such description actually matched the hint
As he realized that he quickly opened his eyes wide open and seemed to look ahead at the East
Seeing that the projection suddenly grinned as it realized that Raguel came up with the right answer, so for a parting gift he said
"Hey!"
Just as he called out, Raguel naturally turned to look at him only to realize that the projection suddenly exploded right infront of him and it's flames engulfing his body whole
With a huge blast Raguel was blasted across the debris as Ash and dirt covered his armor
After being tricked into looking back like that, rage swelled up inside of him as he adruptly glared at the Eastern location of the empire
With a shout Raguel dashed off towards the perpetrator himself
"You damned insect!!!"
******
Of course since Kaido was somehow just near the empire, the moment Raguel shoots out towards them from the former castle's location, he somehow knew he successfully irritated him
With a thought he suddenly acme up with a great idea as this thought really lingered in his mind for quite awhile
"Argos!"
"Hmm?"
"Back in your days... What's your impression of the celestial race?"
"The celestial race? I think maybe... A group of irritating bunch" answered Argos indifferently
"Is that so?"
After hearing that Kaido couldn't even believe what he heard and even grew more curious
"How about do me a favor and deal with a Celestial race person to give us time to prepare to escape?"
"A celestial person? You mean someone is still alive?... Someone actually survived... Well that's new" pondered Argos as he found the news of a survivor quite surprising
After thinking for awhile he nodded his head
"Alright! Since he's here to obstruct us then maybe I can give you some time as long it's for stalling"
"Don't worry! Just beat him up but not to the point of near death" waved Kaido as if he found Argos confidence quite interesting
"If that's what you wanted..."
Some time after that happened Raguel was moving at a high speed at the East of the empire as he finally saw the location where the two tombstone was located
Soon as he released his deadly aura around his body a sudden pressure suddenly dawned upon him as it bore heavy on his shoulders
With an adrupt stop he started to look around for the source of that pressure until he found Argos flying right above him with his dragon wings sprouting at his back
"Sorry but I'll have you stay here with me for a bit... . . You must be the hero albeit at the same time a Celestial race survivor"
"Who are you?" Asked Raguel
"Me? I'm the Apocalypse Dragon Argos"
