Chapter 60: Small Rest

"How many casualties do we have?"

I ask Luca and see him look at me and say.

"Lucky for us, no one died, but there were fifty people injured pretty heavily. We already brought them to the healing room."

"Good. What about the destroyed buildings?"

"We need a few days to reconstruct all of them, but it is not that bad. Nothing very important gets destroyed."

I release a sigh of relief and say.

"Good. I will leave this to you, Luca."

"Of course, boss."

I watch Luca leave to do his job and leave me with the guest from the other world. Byakuran walks toward me and says,

"Do you need some help with the construction, big bro?"

"Nah. We can handle this. You guys are guests to our city, after all. We will handle the aftermath. You guys have done enough."

Byakuran nods his head and says.

"What will you do after this?"

"We will attack more bases of the Tepes Clan and bring the fight to their HQ."

"We will come with you."

"What?"

I look at him in shock before saying.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course! My family just got a new recruit, which is a perfect exercise for them."

"Once again, are you sure? This will be dangerous, you know? A new recruit has a higher chance of dying in battle."

He only waves his hand and says.

"Don't worry. They know the danger of joining my family. We are arms dealers, and it is a dangerous job. If they are afraid of dying, they will not join my family."

I look at him for a few seconds before saying.

"Fine. You can join. Just make sure to tell them to follow orders, okay? We are hitting hard and doing this kind of tactic."

"My favorite tactic! When are we going?"

"Tomorrow. We need to strike while they are busy licking their wounds."

"Then I need to get going! I need to get the others here! Ciao!"

With that, he ran back to the teleportation room with his guardians screaming at him to wait. I shake my head and look to the side.

"What about you guys?"

I look at Aria and the others who just returned from burning all the corpses they killed. I am glad that they are friendly to me and my people because I just witnessed a portion of Arcobaleno's capabilities with my own eyes. They are monsters in toddler bodies.

Aria smiles and says.

"I think we will return to our world first before returning here."

"Eh? Return here?"

"Eh?~~~ You don't want me here?~"

"Snap of it, woman. You are married and already have a daughter."

"Fufufufu~ Fine. I want to continue to train my Senjutsu here, and I want to help you. If you and the others need to hunt some blood-sucking vermin, let my people be the ones defending this place."

I look at her for a few seconds before saying.

"Just make sure you are not getting hurt because I don't think I can survive if one of your elements attacks me."

I can feel her connection and see that she has already made a connection with Reborn. Her Sun is Reborn, the greatest hitman. Yeah. If she gets hurt, he will make my life harder.

"Fufufufu~ Don't worry. Reborn is a softy."

The innocent smile you and him use will not change my mind, you succubus.

"Suit yourself. Have you seen the mummy group?"

"The Vindicare? They have already returned to our world. I don't know what they are doing, but they said they have done their job, and now they must return to protect the Flame Jar."

"Right. Anyway, please be safe and say hi to Tsuna, will you? I will visit him sometime in the future."

"Will do!"

I wave at them as they walk to the teleportation room. However, when I turn around, I see Skull stay instead of going along with the others.

"Skull? Are you not returning to your world?"

"Nah! I like this world! I want to stay here for a little longer!"

He cheerfully answered my question. However, my sky flame tells me there is something that he is not telling. I smile at him and squad down.

"You know you can tell me anything, right? I will not be angry."

He hesitated for a second before saying.

"I think my flame is like yours."

I blink and let my sky flame loose. I watch as his flame connects to mine and embraces his cloud flame. I give him a massive grin and say.

"Welcome home, my Cloud!"

He takes out his helmet and gives me a gentle smile.

"It is good to have a home."

I laugh, pick him up, and place him on my head. Now, I only need lightning and mist flames left before my family is complete.

"Now… Tell me where you want to go for your show?"

"Wait. I can still do my show?"

"Of course! We lack entertainment, but your show might be the perfect one here. On second thought, let's not build it here but rather in Bucharest because it is hard to entertain the people from this side of the world."

"The magical one?"

"Yup. When you can fly and propel yourself to the sky using magic, motorcycle shows are not that attractive to them."

"Fair enough. Let's name it Lord Skull's Deadly Stunt!"

I laugh at his naming sense as our flame finalizes the bonding.

==||==

"My lord, the president wants to know when we can distribute the energy. They already have the necessary things to distribute the energy to Bucharest."

"Really? That fast. Tell them that they can come here tomorrow. The others will help them while we are busy hunting."

"Of course, my lord."

When Martha leaves, Skull looks at me and says,

"You guys are selling energy, boss?"

"Yeah. Do you remember the staff? We can produce a massive amount of energy that can feed the entire country."

"That magical staff? Man, I don't know how you made it. I can still remember the amount of flame it can produce, and it is scary because of how dense it is."

"It is a relic, after all. It is something that not many can have. With this staff, we create a machine that can produce energy endlessly. We sell the energy and get a legal income from the government."

"Do you need any help with the connection? I can help you make one. Well, as long as you can make me an identity here."

"Really? You can do that, Skull?"

"What? Even like this, I am still Arcobaleno, you know? I might not be Viper-senpai, but I can still make a spy network and make a connection to a higher-up."

"If you want to do that, sure. That will be helpful. As for your ID, I can ask the president to make you one."

"Great! I will start when the ID is done. For now, how do you want us to attack the vampires?"

"Oh? You want to join the hunt, Skull?"

"Of course. You are my sky, and it is my job to protect you."

"Let's wait for the others before we go into details."

When the others enter my office, I lean forward and say.

"With the West side done, we will now attack the north. We will attack all the bases around Ploiești City, and when we are done, we will attack Bran Castle. It is also known as the Dracula Castle."
