The moment Arnold was out of the domain, he rushed over to the section of the home, where Orco was currently residing in. Seeing Arnold so restless even creeped Talos out. Talos was also in the room as he had been taking care of Orco, while making sure he did not have another outburst.


    Talos didn''t know it yet but Arnold was in a hurry because he got so lost in listening to the tale of Shiva and thinking about his new subss, that hepletely forgot about the ring he had made for Orco. And only now that he was done taking care of everything, did the thought of Orco entered his mind which made him feel guilty.


    "How is he doing?" Arnold asked Talos the moment he entered Orco''s room.


    "Everything seems normal. However, he still has no recollection was what he did to T-90." Talos replied, "I, however, can''t evaluate if it is for the better or not. On one hand, it''s better as it means that Orco can''t use his powers, at all. On the second hand, it shows that maybe he has no control over his powers and is like a time bomb that could explode any moment."


    "It''s better if a child so young don''t remember about something like that." Arnold cut Talos off as he took the ring out of his inventory and handed it to Talos, "What do you think about this?"


    "I can''t believe you actually did it. It''s quite impressive. I can see a rune imnted in your arm as well, is it the same one?"


    "Yeah, it is. Orco, could youe here for a second?" Arnold smiled at his eldest son who was once again ying with theva pups.


    "Coming daddy! Let''s race to see who is the fastest, okay?" Orco smiled at the pups as they nodded. The next second they all rushed with their baby steps towards Arnold and of course, the pups let Orco win as usual.


    "That''s my brave son." Arnold gave a heartyugh before picking him up in his arms, "Look, dad has a little something for you. You always wanted a ring just like mom and dad right? Well, there you go!"


    "Aw! It''s red. That''s my... favor... favu..." Orco was still a child and often had trouble pronouncing some words as he was still learning a lot of words. But that didn''t stop him from trying his best to do so.


    "Favourite?"


    "Yeah, that colour. Thanks, daddy!"


    "You''re most wee! Now, how about I put it where it belongs and then we''ll go and show it to your mom?"


    "Put! Put! Hurrrrrrry!"


    "Okay, okay! You''re even more impatient than I am." Arnold put the ring on Orco''s right index finger and wait for a second before making sure whether the ring worked or not.

    ''Looks like it''s working. that solves one of my problems.'' Arnold was lost in his thought but Orco did his best to snap him out of it.


    "Daddy! Let''s go and show the ring to momma!"


    "Alright, sheriff. I heard you. Talos, I need you to do something for me. But let''s talk while walking or Orco would rip off all of my hairs."


    Arnold exined to Talos everything regarding his new subss as they made their way to the master bedroom. They talked about the weird tasks, the risks of failing the fusion. Everything that Arnold knew about. And Talos had a few questions of his own.


    "So you can''t level up the subss like you level up the others?" Talos asked Arnold as soon as he was done giving him details about the new subss, "I wonder what did the elder meant when he gave you the subss to use your EXP."


    "Yup. It seems System sama fooled me again. I can''t use my exp to level up the skill as it would only level up once I start using the skills associated with the subss." Arnold replied.


    "And for that, you need toplete the given tasks yourself."


    "Correct. But I still need your help. I want you to locate as many dungeons as you can that are spawning fire and ice based monsters. I don''t care which corner of the world that dungeon is in, I just need those dam-" Arnold was about to curse in front of Orco, which was a definite no-no for everyone, or else Nina would rip their tongue from their mouths, "I meant, I''m serious about it."


    "I got it, master. I have just alerted everyone to be on the lookout for such a dungeon."


    "Well, that takes care of one thing. What about Bad-Breath andpany? Have they left for India yet?"


    "Their flight took off an hour ago."


    "Good. Also, while we are on the topic ofpleting tasks, has Devon made any progress with the slime, yet?"


    "Not much. I think I''ll have to apany him. Maybe the two of us together can figure out something about that."


    "Well... I think Orco is in safe hands now, so you can leave. Also, Natasha, just because you are invisible, it doesn''t mean I can''t feel where your hands are touching me." Arnold scolded her before pping her hand away from his butt.


    Earlier Arnold had instructed Natasha to keep a close eye on Orco. His instructions were simple. If Orco was to exhibit any signs of using his powers, she was supposed to immediately put him to sleep. However, seeing her indecent attire, he ''nicely asked'' her to make herself invisible around Orco, so he wasn''t exposed to her... inappropriate behaviours.


    "Hehe... My hands just slipped away..."


    "Oh, that''s too bad. Cuz you know, if my hands started slipping away, they might end up blowing your head into smithereens."


    "Yikes! Let''s calm down, please! I swear it won''t happen again, master."
