"Once we get home, Iāll give you the MIni Drone," he said.
It would be a good idea to purchase the Mini Drone link for Sheina so that her weapon could be upgraded in the future.
And thankfully, with 20,000 more Sand Dollars in his inventory, he had more than enough to purchase another Mini Drone for Sheina to use.
"Great!" Sheina cheered.
"Aww! I wanted one too!" Zion complained.
"Whereās your Diva? I donāt see it," Sheina said, teasing him.
The two once again bickered nonstop. Just then, they heard the sound of the tunnel starting to open up.
A couple of seconds later, they saw a violet slime pop out of the rift, with a stone knight by his side.
"Yahoo! Iām back!" Fudge exclaimed.
"Whereād you been?" Michael asked.
Somehow, Fudge slipped away when he wasnāt paying attention. He thought heād be able to keep the little guy from creating chaos by having him trapped inside the Droneās Pocket Dimension, but it seemed that it was useless.
"I was trying to find Grieve 2.0!" Fudge said as the stone knight picked up Fudge and put him on top of its head. "But look at what I found, Master!"
Fudge then used his shadow and revealed four boxes that looked like they were made out of stainless steel.
Michaelās eyes widened in recognition. "Is that..."
"Yep, Master! I found them while I was going around the Red Ravine rooms searching for 2.0!"
He picked up one of the boxes and twisted its top. Upon doing so, its folded up and revealed the flaming object inside.
It was a GodForge piece!
He picked up another box and checked its contents. And it was indeed another piece of a floating liquid surrounded by white flames!
Somehow, Fudge got 4 different boxes filled with GodForge pieces!
Opening up all the boxes, ChatJK5 estimated the total to be about 10 kilograms in total.
And with the 5 kilograms he found back in the first room they went through, then he would have 15 kilograms in total.
That would definitely be enough for him to finally transcend to the 5th stage of Body Formation!
"Where did you find all of this?" he asked Fudge.
"Hehehe, are you proud of me, Master? Thereās a lot of room that becomes in disarray after the chaos of the rift in space. And I found that some of the treasure boxes were also caught up in the flow, so all I had to do was scour the entire Red Ravine and pick them up!"
He didnāt think heād be this grateful for Fudge being so nosy, but in this case, it was an absolute win!
"Was there any more?" he asked.
Fudge shook his head. "No, Master. Because of the chaos in space, the entire Red Ravine has become unstable. Almost all the companies have already left the place, including the Major Factions in Metropolis."
It seemed that by Kuno summoning him created a lot more chaos than he could have ever imagined.
But if his guess was right and that he was forcefully transported to the Elven Kingdom, then it would make sense why there was so much chaos that happened.
"I guess itās time to go home," he said.
"Yes, finally!" Jaku cheered.
...
...
...
Michael transported everyone back to the Nation of Reborn to regroup.
Once they landed on the Rebornian mansionās courtyard, Sheina immediately clapped her hands and rallied her siblings.
"Okay, itās time for practice!"
"What?!" Zion shouted. "We just got home!"
"Nope... i wanna sleep...," Jaku said, already sleepwalking towards his room.
Sheina didnāt take no for an answer. "You said that I can rely on you guys. How can I do that if you canāt use any Aubility? So, weāre spending all our time training!"
Zion and Jaku immediately bolted out, with Sheina and Umisu chasing after them.
Once Michael was alone, he brought out his Drone and talked to it.
"Why didnāt you come out?" he asked.
A second later, Kuno manifested out from the Drone and landed on her feet.
She had been staying in the Droneās subspace all this time, simply observing everything that happened through the Control Room.
"Uhhh... I got shy, hehe."
Fudge immediately shook his head. "A ninja shouldnāt be shy. They should be proud! Come, Iāll introduce you to the Dragonborns. Theyāre nice!"
Kuno nodded. "Yes, they did look nice. Maybe I will do that... but..."
"But what?"
She then pointed upwards, seemingly pointing at the canopyās ceiling.
"I canāt go outside," she said.
Michael found this weird. "Why?"
Kuno demonstrated by slowly walking towards the edge, where the shadow of the ceiling no longer blocked the sunās bright rays.
As soon as her hand was illuminated by daylight, a sizzling sound echoed out as her hand got immediately burned, as if the sunās rays were literally scorching hot.
"You canāt go out in the sun?" Michael asked her.
"I donāt think I can," she replied.
Canāt go out in the sun... has blood powers... thereās no way. Is she really the Original Vampire?
However, that still didnāt make any sense. After all, Guillermo and the other Vampires could walk fine in the sun without their skin burning up. He found out from them that the usual cliches about Vampires werenāt entirely true.
Nah, nah. Iām overthinking it. Maybe itās just because she hasnāt seen the light of day in a thousand years,
he guessed.
He bent down and took out an umbrella from his inventory. "Here, use this."
Kuno fumbled around with the umbrella before she finally pushed on the button on the handle, opening it up.
"!!!!"
He showed her how to hold it properly, and she was able to finally walk out in the open without worry.
"Hehehe, this is nice," she said, twirling around with the umbrella.
"You should introduce yourself to Sheina first. No wait! Grieve first. Both of you have something in common," Fudge said, pushing Kuno by bumping into her legs.
He led her into the Rebornian Mansion where they all each had their own rooms.
Fudge excitedly burst open the front door.
However, Kuno didnāt follow after him.
"What are you doing? Follow me, junior!" Fudge said, but Kuno wasnāt budging.
She remained in front of the doors, standing still. She raised her hand, trying to cross the boundary, but as soon as she did, her hand got burned again, causing her to recoil.
"Ahh!"
There seemed to be an invisible barrier that prevented her from entering inside!
"Why arenāt you following me? Come inside," said Fudge.
And finally, after saying those magical words, Kuno finally felt the barrier disappear, allowing her to tumble inside the Rebornian mansion for the first time.
She canāt enter any private premises until sheās invited?
The more she learned about Kuno, the more accurate his guesses became.
Is she really?... no... thatās way too coincidental. How could I meet the Original Vampire just a month after finding out about her existence?
"Hehe, youāll meet everyone at dinner," Fudge said excitedly. "Thereās lots of good food to eat like pizza, fried chicken, and garlic bread!"
Kuno suddenly covered her mouth and nose.
"Garlic?"
