Location- Sky Blossom City, Card Stadium, Arena

‘Aaaah’ under the impact of the enhanced holy rainbow of purification the humanoid blood creature wailed in pain and broke down into a puddle of blood as it hurriedly retreated backward.

Seeing that the enhanced combo skill did not kill Bloodette I was surprised and failed to notice that the blood puddle was not retreating but running towards unconscious Cortney. I did not understand what the blood puddle was trying to achieve by reaching Corey but remembering blood rule can recover upon consumption of blood I knew it was up to no good.

It was too late for me to act and stop the blood puddle as it was already pouncing on unconscious Cortney. Since the blood puddle was Cortney’s summoned Creature I think it will not harm her. But just when it was about to engulf Cortney a bright light barrier covered Cortney’s body.

“Good idea to use holy attribute against dark attribute rules but if the holy attribute is not strong enough it is nothing but a sunburn to the creatures with dark attribute. The dark attribute is like a cockroach, it finds a way to live in the harshest condition and with severe injuries. So always be on guard when dealing with them.”

“Luna, I can’t believe you. Did you just lecture about dark attributes? Stop boring people by giving them unnecessary lectures, you have your students for that back in your college.” Anna rolled her eyes at her cousin who lectured me about holy and dark attributes.

“What to do with this creature? It’s too weak for a supreme being and seems to have lost its reasoning under the influence of the world and its rules.” Luna asked Anna as she boxed in the blood puddle with a light barrier that seemed to have a holy attribute to it.

“By killing it, all you are doing is destroying its new body. Its consciousness will return to the seal. Only for it to form a new body from scratch. How about letting Wyatt’s ego elemental devour it? After all, its body is derived from the world rule ‘blood’. This way at least its body can be used as manure.” Anna asked Luna to give Bloodette to me. So that I can enhance the strength of my ego blood elemental by devouring it.

“I do not think it’s a good idea. Doing so we may be putting him in harm’s way rather than helping him. No matter how weak this creature is, it is a supreme being and its body is derived from blood rule. By feeding on it his blood ego elemental will try to break through to the next realm. With his current realm, I do not think he will be able to achieve it.” Luna expressed her concern.

“Yes, you’re right. I too do not think his golden grimoire will allow his Ego elemental card to break through to the higher realm because the Ego element card is already of the highest realm the golden grimoire can support.” Anna also thought deeply about Luna’s argument and agreed with it.

All the Ego elemental cards I created were of card lord realm strength. Which also happens to be the maximum strength my golden grimoire can hold. Unless I upgrade my grimoire to a higher platinum grade there is no way my cards can breakthrough to a higher realm.

“Hey, you boneheads don’t talk as if I am some kind of blood tonic. I will get back at all of you for today’s humiliation.” Bloodette finally regained control of her body. As she came to her senses she realized she was trapped by a light barrier. Ignoring that she hurriedly searched for Cortney. Seeing Cortney unconscious and alive. She was revealed but hearing the two card emperors planning to use her body as manure to nurture another blood elemental Bloodette was scared to death and also felt humiliated. But her strength was not enough to do anything about it so she chose to retreat to her seal for now.

“..”The blood puddle which was imprisoned by Luna’s light barrier suddenly spoke up. It seems Bloodette was no longer under the influence of the world and its rule. Soon it vanished in thin air.

“Fook, it ran away. We should have extracted its body as a card ingredient to use later. ” Anna exclaimed seeing Bloodette vanish in thin air.

“It did not run away, it just returned to its seal.” Corrected Luna.

“How is it any different?” Anna asked, rolling her eyes at Luna. She finally started to remember why she used to avoid talking to Luna.

“Wyatt, honey congrats on winning the tournament.” Anna congratulated me for winning the tournament.

“Thank you” I thanked Anna but I didn’t feel I had won. Because the card stadium did not have the atmosphere of a tournament any longer. The problem was the intervention of the Card emperor duo. The authorities and the school staff who did not come to my rescue were in a pinch, especially the school staff who held this tournament.

…

While Anna and Luna stepped out to capture the Blood Supreme. Lorenzo made a call to his niece, Corey’s mother. Despite having agreed that during the mission forbidden treasure all contacts will be kept to a minimum.

“Hello, Uncle Lorenzo. It must be urgent for you to call now.” Corey’s mother answered the call.

“Yes, something big is afoot. What is your mother’s current status?” Lorenzo asked his niece in a deadpan tone.

“She has already engaged the enemy.” Corey’s mother responded to the best of her knowledge.

” We still have time. Some new information has comr to light and I have reason to believe that the mission forsaken treasure is compromised..” Lorenzo did not believe that the Clown mask could see the future. Yes, she had the Tao Eye but it was stolen and there is no credibility to her words. So, He interrogated her using his rune ‘Balance’ which would help him discern if a person is telling the truth or not. And the results informed that the Clown mask was not lying. After having all his facts straight he contacted his niece.
