Chapter 413 Fire (12)
Nothing much happened after the battle, the people that participated just sat around the area to heal their wounds and wait to see if something would happen again. When the fire titan emerged, Aura was on the border of her territory and happened to see the titan emerging. Aura and her people also froze in shock when they saw that… they had never heard of monsters bigger than dragons. While they were in shock, the fight happened and eventually ended, and then they came to check things.
”You really saved us this time, our state has a great debt to you,” Aura said after deeply lowering her head.
”I didn’t do it alone, although the timing of their attacks was bad, they gave me the chance to finish the monster,” Billy said. “If the monster hadn’t fallen and lost its legs, I wouldn’t have the chance to kill it like that.”
”Putting that aside, did you see the core, Billy?” Kate asked. “The parts of the monster turned into ordinary rocks and ate scattered in the area, but there are no signs of the core.”
”I hit it and then that explosion happened… I don’t remember anything else,” Billy replied.
Billy was lying. He hated that such a thing was starting to happen more often. Still, he didn’t have any other choice since the core touched his body, and then he learned Fire Creation. How could he explain that to others? In any case, that raised more questions, could he absorb the core of all dungeons? Or was that core special? Since it could be used to power up a single monster, maybe the second option was the correct one…
”In any case, we are done here, Let’s go home,” Billy declared. “Can we leave the rest to you?”
”Certainly,” Aura nodded. “This state is truly indebted to you all, if one day you need help, I will do my best to give you a hand.”
Billy wanted to return with his wives as soon as possible, but they had to return with their students. Somehow, not a single one of them lost their life in the last battle. Still, they were wounded and tired, so the trip back will be a long one.
Riormi state lost a lot, to the point that a large area of their territory became a desert, and many towns and villages were destroyed. Although they couldn’t recover the human losses, they could recover from the economic ones. The core of the monsters had the fire attribute, and they could enchant weapons with them. It was hard to say for how long the core would work like that, but since they were a limited material, they were rather expensive. Naturally, Aura said that she would send their loot back to their homes at the suited time since they had killed most of the monsters.
”Apparently, our powers have some sort of divine factor… And since I absorbed the core, it seems that had some too,” Billy thought while he was driving the twins back home. Did the gods of this world create that thing? For what purpose?”
Once again, Billy was returning home after a big job with nothing much but more questions in his head. Aside from the headaches, muscle pain, and the fact that he will have to deal with his kids missing their mothers for an extra week, he only leveled up thirty times after dealing with that beast… he didn’t consider that a good reward to balance for all of those problems. Fortunately, he at least could check the skills that could be obtained using six hundred skill points… once again, he didn’t find the shadow clone technique. Still, he wasn’t surprised, only disappointed.
”What have you learned from this trip, kiddos?” Billy asked while he was parking his magic tank in his workshop.
”We are fourteen, we aren’t kids,” Samuel protested.
”So, you are fourteen… that makes me twenty-one,” Billy said. “Anyway, you need to grow a bit more, kiddo. Are you eating well? You need to rest properly between training sessions.”
”Do you use us to measure how old you are?” Samara asked while frowning. “In any case, what is with you so suddenly, Billy?”
”Nothing really, I am just making sure that you learned a valuable lesson,” Billy said. “In any case, did you piss your pants when that thing emerged from the ground?”
”That isn’t something you should ask your little sister…” Samara said and then sighed.
”We are family, there must not be any secret between us, but I guess I overdid it…” Billy said.
The twins found it weird that Billy still was acting somewhat like usual. On the trip back, he stayed more silent than usual, even though he was the one who contributed the most to the fight against that massive beast. In his place, they would have boasted a lot more, and they would feel like they deserved more respect. Still, when someone offered him words of praise, Billy just said that he didn’t do it alone… they felt that they could learn a lot from that, but it seemed boring. People train hard to have their accomplishments noticed by others… at least. That was how they felt since they were kids.
They felt even more weird when Billy only looked really happy when he found his kids. They could understand how come he was so happy, but that was something he could experience whenever he wanted. Defeating a massive beast like that wasn’t one.
”You sure took a long while to return,” Drew said.
”Christina seems happy in seeing you, but it seems Hector is looking forward to his mother more,” Camilla said while showing a forced smile. “Anyway, what happened.”
”Those two will tell the awesome tale of how they pissed their pants when a massive monster appeared,” Billy said. “I will play with my kids in the garden.”
”We didn’t!” Samuel and Samara protested in unison.
Billy ignored them and went to the garden. Instead of sleeping in a bad, he felt more reinvigorated with his kids.
