The rest of the enemy was rendered up pretty quickly.
Ibaraki dealt with the rest of the Jack-o'-lantern easily as the Boogeymen's fake bodies suddenly crumbled to dust.
Meliya was caught by the Vampire lord and was put in jail with a silver handcuff so she couldn't escape. Grigori looked so disappointed that the subordinate he trusted planned to kill him in the middle of chaos. The fact that she was the one who told him about the traitor… What a pity.
The barrier wasn't taken down yet as the aftermath dealing wasn't done yet. The damage to the city would also be reverted, so it was best to take care of the aftermath of the fight before he took down the barrier.
"Hmm…" Ibaraki returned to where Robert and Rebecca were.
Her fighting spirit had died down considerably after everything was over, and she changed into her turtleneck sweater Kai bought her as her Kimono was burned in the fire
"Master has yet to return. It's strange…" She muttered worriedly.
The barrier cut off the connection with the outside, and Ibaraki had just returned to her sane state of mind after rampaging to her heart's content. When she rampaged, she couldn't even feel Kai through their connection as her Oni instinct took over control of her body.
"Maybe he's still occupied with something?" Robert gave her a guess, but she didn't really take it for granted.
Ibaraki paced around nervously as she had a worried look. She wanted to get out of this barrier and immediately went to where Kai was.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do that until the vampires returned to their base. That would take around 3 minutes as some of them were injured.
The space in this barrier and outside the barrier was different. Even now, there should be people walking around the street at the same place and time but outside the barrier.
If they took down the barrier now before the vampires returned to their base, there would be a chance they would just pop up in the middle of the street and cause some commotion due to their bloody bodies right now.
"The problem is…" Ibaraki started, stopping at the edge of the roof and looking in the general direction where Kai was. "I have a bad feeling."
"Well…" Robert looked at Ibaraki and remembered the location of the light that showed where the person from Memento Mori was. "I don't know whether it is the person Kai was looking for or his friend, but I felt two signals from his direction. Maybe it's that Alchemist one and the Boogeymen."
"Then–" Ibaraki raised her voice, but she suddenly stopped. Even if she couldn't feel their connection, she still had a general direction of where Kai was. And based on what she felt, they were going back to Bucharest at a fast speed.
Her lips curled up into a happy smile. "Nevermind. They are going back."
"Really?" Robert asked with an amazed tone. "This barrier separated the real space and a created one, but is your connection with him strong enough that you can feel him?"
Ibaraki nodded confidently at Robert's question.
"That's amazing." He said, "Is the Vampire princess with them too?"
"I don't know, but it's great that they returned! I can feel Amber too, and they have already arrived in Bucharest."
"Is that so? I guess they will arrive in the hotel room before we get out of this barrier." Robert started.
"Probably," Rebecca added.
And Ibaraki nodded happily. "Un."
At first, she was rather worried that their connection suddenly became weaker. But when she felt his presence once again, her worry was lifted up.
The ones that attacked the city were weak, but they were many in number. With her strength, it was easy to beat them.
However, if she wasn't here, the casualty would be much higher, and the real world where normal people lived would also have been affected.
The vampires couldn't defeat those many Jack-o'-lanterns by themselves, and the Vampire lord would be greatly injured if Robert didn't stop Meliya.
There was something strange about that female vampire, but Robert didn't know what it was. The important thing was that Kai's goal had been achieved, and his duty was now finally over.
Robert looked at Ibaraki, who jumped down the hotel to welcome her master in their room.
Rebecca approached Robert and sat beside him.
"I'm tired." She said, "It's the hardest day ever in my life. Is it going to be like this from now on?"
"I don't think so, dear," Robert replied with a soft voice as he stroked his wife's hair. "This time is special. We might not get involved in something like this again. If something like this happened every month or so… the world would be destroyed long ago."
"You're right." Rebecca smiled. "What should we do after this? Returning to Los Angeles?"
"That's my plan. But we need to talk with Kai first and give him some suggestions to leave Romania as soon as possible. Due to what happened earlier, the situation in Romanian vampire society will not be as good as before."
"A traitor, huh?"
"Yes." Robert nodded. "I think we managed to avoid some suspicion because I saved the Vampire lord, but we don't know whether the other vampires also had the same plan or not. The spell earlier only detected the ones who had Alchemist's lingering Spirit Power."
'And it's better not to be involved in vampire politics and inner workings. We should be satisfied that we achieved our goal of finding the Boogeymen. However, I don't know whether Kai managed to kill that creature or not. We will know what happens in a few minutes, though.' He thought.
"Is it really that serious?"
"I don't know. But as long as the situation is like this, we can't even do anything. We are just guests, a tourist who came to Romania to find the Boogeymen. We have achieved our goals. Whether Kai succeeds or not, then it would be better if we return to the US as soon as possible."
"If he doesn't want to?" Rebecca asked worriedly.
"Then…"
Robert didn't know about that. But according to what he knew about Kai, the young man would definitely agree with his suggestion.
The Ruler wasn't a fool who couldn't think critically.
"If that happens, then I guess we are stuck here. I just hope Kai will make a good judgment this time." He stood up, stretching his arms and legs. "Let's go to
