The idea of equipping my avatar with their grimoire was very alluring but after pondering over it for few minutes I realised that was not possible because even though I had multiple consciousnesses they all originated from a single mutated soul and this mutated soul happened to be already been contacted by a grimoire and there was no way around it. Understanding this my curiosity died and I was disappointed for being excited over nothing.

Right now with my second soul mutation, I was able to create 3 avatars using calamity daughter core. When my soul undergoes 3rd or 4th mutations I can create more avatars just thinking of this made me forget the disappointment earlier.

Next to catch my interest was the transformation skill I bestowed upon the avatars, interestingly only their first form was unlocked and their second form was still locked, unlike my transformation skill where both the first and second form were unlocked but the third form was still locked. I thought they should also have unlocked their second form since I bestowed them with my same transformation skill, but I was wrong. It seems though the skill I bestowed them was the exact copy there was a difference in the cores executing the skill.

Upon reading the unlock conditions for the second form of the avatars I further knew why? The unlock conditions for the second form of the avatars transformation skill are,

1.The parent core should unlock 3rd form.

2.1000 soul jades required for the creation of the second form’s body.

It turns out that the daughter core’s transformation ability is limited to one level less than the transformation ability of the parent core. Knowing this I could not help but feel a little displeased because this was limiting the avatars’ strength further as they cannot contract grimoire. Even though the avatars were of the same realm and active soul control as me they had their limitations.

If I wanted to use the avatars in real battle they at least had to unlock their second form, with zero card assistance and just their viltronian physique they were not a threat to an elite card apprentice of the same realm. So, I checked the conditions for unlocking my third form,

1. Evolutionary ingredients

2. 10,000 soul jades for construction of the third form.

3. ???(Explore by self)

Reading the conditions for unlocking my 3rd form I was confused. I could understand the first and second conditions but the third one puzzled me. What do you mean by exploring by oneself? How am I supposed to know what conditions are without the origin card info showing me?

There is only one solution for this that is to know the requirement of the dungeon calamity seed to meet its third transformation conditions. Since my origin card was designed after the dungeon calamity seed then it is bound to have some answers to the conditions for unlocking my third form. But the problem was that how am I supposed to get this info?

The general information regarding the dungeon calamity seed is public but the sensitive and crucial info like the conditions for the dungeon calamity seed to evolve are restricted and protected info. Any hint of me snooping for this information can get me into a lot of trouble with the related government authorities. If they knew Elliott gave me a dungeon calamity seed during the pre-investigation I would look very suspicious and may even end up on their watch list and be monitored for the rest of my life before some bureaucrat thinks they are wasting too many resources on me and it would be better to silence me once and for all.

This was risky and I had to be careful but it was not urgent as I could not satisfy the conditions for the third form without 10,000 soul jades anyway. So I left it alone to think about it once I had gathered 10,000 soul jades.

I wanted to head to the practice ground of Whiteburn manor and check out my second form, Kaiju from Viltronian Titan. But I had to suppress my urges and desire as this was my trump card. I did not want the Whiteburn’s to know about this.

Having explored the possibilities of my new origin card to some extent and knowing that my current surroundings were not fit for exploring other abilities of the card I decided to spend some time to master and exercise my active soul control now that I had a new skill that could assist me with it, Soul energy manipulation.

Location- Sky Blossom City, E-rank gate dungeon Stone workshop

Stone workshop E-rank gate dungeon got its name because of its inhabitant monsters, the stone golems. This dungeon is quite famous among the sky blossom city adventurers as all the parts of the stone golems can be sold for a good price no matter how damaged the ingredients are. All of them are going to be melted and reforged to get stronger and better ingredients.

“Officer! Was it not our turn to clear the dungeon? Why are you allowing that little tease to enter and stop us! If you are just going to go back on your promise, why bother to pre-register the dungeons.” Yelled an angry young adventurer at the guard guarding the dungeon gate, looking at his new low-rank equipment one could judge this young adventure had just started his career as an adventurer.

“Ross! Stand down I just received the confirmation from the guild vice leader, today’s raid has been cancelled. Ok, everyone clear up!” Said a bulky old man.

“What! Guild Vice leader called for this trivial reason?” Knowing that the guild vice leader personally called to inform them of the cancellation of an E-rank raid. Ross dignifiedly looked at the little tease in front of him and was scared knowing that she had a strong background enough for the guild vice leader to step in. With that, the party of 5 cleared the venue in no time.

“How dare he call me a little tease! I will gut him, castration should be better …” said the 17-year-old teenage girl in shorts that were so short that her g strings showed not to mention her braless top which left her extra healthy bunnies running wild in her tight top with her every movement.

A plain white-masked person dressed in black next to her looked at her and reprimanded her saying, “Cortney now you are the dog of the circle, you cannot just bite whoever you want without your master’s order.

Remember, a dead dog is better than a disobedient dog.”

Hearing the white-masked person Cortney just nodded in response and said, “Master your words seem less intimidating without the clown mask. And also why did you allow the tyrant guild leader to escape wasn’t the Circle’s order to exterminate all of them.”

“Clown masks are too noticeable to appear in the general public. As for letting Tyrant guild leader escape, his predecessors even though dead still have friends in high places who would not want to sit by watching the last descendant of their friend be murdered.

Who told you that my mission was to exterminate the allied guilds? My mission was to send a warning to your senior sister and teach her a lesson. I decided on massacring the allied guilds to show your senior sister the consequences of her defying the Circle’s direct orders. And also It has been too peaceful these years, cutting my dose of carnage..” The White masked person was Diana’s master, the mysterious clown masked person with the summon – twin winged cursed lizard.

“I do not get it why does killing the allied guilds hurt Diana?” Asked Cortney.

“You see your senior sister, she is not like you and me. She is a defective product, though she can be cruel, she has a disease called compassion and avoids unnecessary killing. For her massacring the allied guild and threatening her adoptive sister should be enough warning and a lesson.” The masked person explained nonchalantly. And then added, “You better complete your task fast, there are only two days till the tournament. If you miss this you will lose a good stage to gather subordinates. Remember even though I won’t compare you to Diana the same can not be said for other people in the circle.”

“I know, master! Soloing 5 E-rank gate dungeons in 2 days is a walk in the park for me.” Cortney assured her master as eyes beamed with strong fighting intention.

“Good! Now you clear this one, I will make preparations for other dungeons. If you can clear the task within a day I have a reward for you. Your senior sister helped me gather it.” Said the white-masked person.

“Great! Don’t forget your promise.” Saying that Cortney rushed into the dungeon gate without hesitation.
