Chapter 88: Ch 78 – Kaleido’s Reappearance
"Sigh, still no way to determine if I am getting close to civilization, and it's already getting dark," said Kyouma as he looks at the setting sun in the distance with the forest slowly getting dark.
"Let's just find a cave I can sleep at for the night," said Kyouma as his eyes and ears started to change with him gaining a sort of omniscient view around the area he was in as he employed a combination of many vision types and echolocation and in just a few seconds, he found a relatively deep cave in the dense forest below him.
With a single flap of his wings, he dive bomb towards the ground and as he was about to hit the floor, he stopped his fall by flapping his wings once more and landed on the ground on his feet without damaging himself.
"Please be a cool cave infested with monsters!" exclaimed Kyouma as his wings retracted back to his body while his lab coat returned back to normal, and with nothing to lose, he entered the cave of the unknown that may or may not hold secrets if he were lucky.
(A Few Minutes Later)
"… Sigh, there is nothing! Awwww, I thought I would have a cool adventure inside the Elven Continent but it's so boring, the only excitement was the giant snake that I fought" said Kyouma while inside the dark cave with no light source.
"Maybe once I get near the place of elves, there should be more danger and excitement there with more mana in the air and maybe more monsters and caves I could explore," said Kyouma as he sighed and look around the dark cave with nothing inside it.
"Fuck it, I don't know how magic works, and I'm lost so might as well hasten the pace by putting on my previous equipment," said Kyouma as his whole body started to get enveloped by new clothes that were a black cloak drape on top of a black shirt and black pants along with an iconic white mask that complements his white hair.
"You know what, I'll just activate all of my cheats! But only as my Kaleido persona, for mister K it would be only space control, there! My personas now have their own powers so all is fair!" shouted Kyouma as mana coursed through his body along with the knowledge of magic flooding his mind, but it was strange because once he loses his cheat, he will forget everything about magic except the feeling of mana so he still has decent mana control.
"God, mana really makes that much of a difference… Okay, it is already evolving my body even though I am not supposed to have mana at this point so once I learn how to control mana with my Kyouma persona, then I will let mana course through my body, but for now, I'll just seal my cheat except for when I am making magic tools" said Kaleido as he sealed his 3 No's Magic cheat with a single thought with his body reverting to a mana-less state which halted his ongoing evolution.
"Okay, so I am effectively sealing my two other cheats but it's fine, I still have my equipment by my side," said Kyouma as he crouched down on the ground and looked at the long-winded cave he was currently in.
With a grin behind his mask, he felt his body that was empowered with his magical equipment and with tensed muscles optimized to near perfection by his breathing, blood, and all other factors that were made possible with his Evolution cheat, he kick on the ground that resulted in a loud boom as he flung forwards at a rapid pace that was a shadowy blur to the naked eye that slowly makes his body get stronger due to the stress he was putting it on.
And in just a few seconds, he arrived at the entrance of the cave, and without stopping his movements, he leap out of the ground caving in the dirt around his feet as he flew high into the sky while looking at the moon in the distance covering the whole forest in a celestial glow but he didn't look at the moon for its beauty, no, he was using it as a guide.
"Forward, okay, so the f elves are just a few hundred kilometers from where I am at, I'm currently inside uninhabited land so the lack of elves is understandable, okay, I'll probably arrive there once morning comes so let's do this!" shouted Kaleido as he activated one of the enchantments on his shoes and with that, he hops on the air with a single kick like a certain technique from a certain anime involving pirates and magical fruits that grants powers to those who eats it.
(A Few Hours Later)
High in the sky, a certain being was seen running in the air at a rapid pace while the appearance of a vast kingdom was seen in the distance illuminated by the giant sun in the sky.
The kingdom is the main kingdom of all elves that houses the King or Emperor depending on what you want to call it as all kingdoms are interconnected and under the Emperor of elves.
The kingdom was full of houses and buildings entangled with the trees around them while surrounded by a natural barricade of trees that is guarded by elves with different professions.
"Bingo," said Kaleido with a grin as he halted his steps in the air and at the same moment, he rapidly fell to the ground as his cloak flapped with the wind brushing against his falling body.
With the elves, not would I learn their magic, I would be able to perhaps learn how to befriend the spirits and gain their help to manipulate the world around me and produce magical effects, and not only that, I recently learned that Imerda is beloved by the spirits so that must be related to her cheat.
But first, I must enter the kingdom and find a home for myself but it should be very easy because of a certain badge I am currently showing off on my chest.
As I was about to land on the ground, I activated my shoes again and halted my fall to the ground while putting a gigantic amount of stress on my body in the process and I felt my brain passing out but if I want to evolve, this is necessary.
With me now on the ground, I went in the direction where the kingdom is located and after a while, I saw the wall of trees in front of me with gaps between them protected by elves guarding the place, and just as expected, many saw me and instantly pointed their bows at me.
"Halt!" shouted one elf who seems to be the leader of the guards in this area as she landed on the ground in front of me.
"Hello, I am the A rank adventurer Kaleido, I would like to enter the kingdom," I said with a monotone voice as my natural acting talent took over my body while they are a bit spooked out by my appearance.
Just imagine, a person wearing all black including gloves that covers his arms and shows no skin, and also wearing a white featureless mask that also covers his eyes effectively making them blind, and with my white hair, I must be scary for them and I am sure of that once they saw my A rank golden badge.
"Let me check it for a bit," said the leader as I nodded and gave her my badge and adventurer card which she inspected with a magic tool to confirm if it was real and after a while, it was shown to be real and hastily gave it back to me.
"You may enter, sorry for the inconvenience mister Kaleido," said the leader whose face was covered by her helmet.
"No problem," I said in a monotone voice and walked towards one of the entrances of the wall and finally got inside the Elven Kingdom full of elves.
And surprisingly, many adventurers were here due to this being a great place to earn money by hunting the strong monsters of the elven continent, and not only that, the natural beauty is a great place to stay in as a place for vacation and learn the culture of the mystical elegant elves.
With a blank stare behind my mask, I looked at the wonderful infrastructures built into these gigantic trees made with the use of magic and the aid of spirits and there are already spirits in the air with their elemental bodies flying around.
"Yawn, game plan, get an Inn, learn magic and the spells of elves, and probably learn how to become friends with Spirits and become an Elementalist, this should be easy enough," I said while my body slowly evolves due the bountiful mana in the air spewed out by the spirits and this might bring some surprises if I stay here long enough.
