Making their way back to Teriu, Kuromi made sure that Shiro took a rest so that her energy reserves could be replenished. The main problem of using Celestial Energy is that it is very limited and would only regenerate once you started to rest your body.

Sure it may be more powerful than mana but in terms of accessibility and efficiency, Kuromi still preferred mana over Celestial Energy.

However, there were some positives that came from this. Namely the fact that their enemies wouldn't be constantly reinforcing their bodies since the energy is limited. This gives them the opportunity to eliminate a large portion of enemies in an instant since without the reinforcement, they're essentially normal humans with slightly improved physical attributes.

In other words, they're babies with guns. As long as you deal with them quickly, they pose no threat.

As they arrive near the camp that some of the Shadow Guards had set up near where the battlefield is, Kuromi had them explain to her the general gist of what's been happening so far.

"So you're telling me that regardless of what the families in Teriu have been telling them, the opposing families don't care?" Shiro raised her eyebrow.

Since Phillip had told them that the lord had given the fake spell to the enemies, they knew that they had nothing to prove their innocence. Plus, with things escalating to this point, many of the families won't stop until they've checked through everything and made sure that nothing had been left untouched.

Not only that, even if they do believe in what the families in Teriu say, they still want to continue this battle since it's a way for them to eliminate a few competitors.

"Hmm… that's a little annoying. Well at least we've weakened the royal army a little. While it may not be much in the grand scheme of things, it will definitely help out with the next battle. If we can get ourselves some loot from the aftermath, that would be great as well. It'll somewhat fund our next battles in a way." Kuromi shrugged.

"But for now though, let's find a spot for us to stay in Teriu so that we can set up camp without being detected."

"If you're looking for a spot for us to stay, maybe we can go to the old compound? While it's been raided, we can use the ruins as a camp since we understand the layout well." Phillip suggested.

"Sure, depends on how many people are near the compound when we teleport in. If they have people searching through the ruins in case the spell was left behind, it'll be quite awkward now wouldn't it?" Kuromi chuckled as Phillip nodded.

"Of course. It is merely an option that could be viable." Phillip replied with a smile.

"Anyways, I'll go do some scouting now and try to see if I can set up camp. If anyone wants to come with me, speak up now. Just keep in mind that you must be able to disengage quickly and leave should things go south. While I may be there to help you teleport away, if I'm in a bad situation, you'll be on your own." Shiro said as she twirled a dagger in her hands. Since Kuromi was fine with planning with the rest of the group, it was better that she made the most of their time by scouting and setting up camp.

Waiting for a few moments, Shiro had three people volunteer to do the scouting with her.

Bringing up their info in her mind, she realised that they were the best choices right now.

"Good. Kali, Liam, Cert, stay close to me so that I won't have to use too much energy to teleport you to the city." Shiro smiled as they stood beside her.

"I'll see you later big sis."

"Good luck." Kuromi waved her hands with a smile.

Snapping her fingers, the portal appeared under the four of them as they teleported away.

"Say first young miss, has second young miss changed her way of calling you? I think she used to call you Kuro right?" Phillip tilted his head.

"Well I'd say Shiro is a bit of a tsun. She's embarrassed by things she's not used." Kuromi chuckled.
