Date- 31 Mar 2321
Time- 13:42
Location- Sky Blossom City, Burger Empire
The Mountain golem and Mud golems summoned by Nick and Tow were holding off the deformed creatures that were summoned through the sacrifice of the single-horned cloaked figure. Ed and chief Denise were securing the civilians to a safe location. At the same time, I was faced with the perpetrator behind all this, the signal-horned cloaked figure.
Though finding a core in it was shocking but also found that this signal-horned cloak figure was similar to the one that sacrificed itself to summon the deformed creatures earlier. Seeing this, I had a strong feeling that the cloaked figure that sacrificed itself and the cloaked figure in front of us were the same. I can't prove it as one of them dead already but if the cloaked figure used that trick once again it's a different story. For now, I pushed all the questions to the back of my mind and walked toward the cloaked figure as capturing her would get me all the answers I needed.
*splurt* Suddenly, the cloaked figure melted into blood gore. Seeing that, I almost puked in my mouth. But abruptly, the blood gore started moving as if it were alive. The gore branched into small lines which formed a magic circle of some kind. Not knowing the purpose of the magic circle, I stepped back.
*flash* The large magic circle on the ground formed by the gore remains of the single-horned cloaked figure started to glow,
*Shriek* a loud shriek originating from the magic circle pierced everyone's ears. Hearing the sound, I knew this magic circle was another summoning circle activated through sacrifice. So I use Viltronian flight to gain a distance from the magic circle. I didn't know what type and rank of monsters were being summoned. I am confident about my strength but don't plan on underestimating my enemy.
Hovering in the sky, I look down at the magic circle while Hive AI scans my surroundings to caution me about any possible assassination attempt. Soon I noticed that the asphalt road on which the magic circle was drawn turned into sand, and rows of sharp pointy objects in the circular pattern surfaced with a hole in the middle, which sucked in the asphalt turned into sand. It appears to be a mouth of a creature.
*Whoosh*
A second later, those sharp pointy objects shot up into the sky. Revealing its entire body to me. The summoned creature was a 10 meters wide and 40 meters long earthworm-type monster. After the creature's whole body shot out of the ground into the air, it dove back into the earth. And then it kept circling the ground beneath me as I hover in the air. Seeing this, I couldn't help but compare the monster and its ability to a fish in the water because I felt like the ground was like one giant swimming pool for the earthworm-type monster. Making us land-dwellers it's pery.
While I observed the giant earthworm-type monster using my soul pupils, I noticed that no matter where I flew, the beast could triangulate my position and then swim in the ground beneath where I was hovering. This showed that this monster was also targeting me and me alone as it ignored all the other people that kept running right above it.
The earthworm-type monster was of peak card lord realm. Its realm and abilities made it a formidable opponent to get rid of. And also making it a good assassin, but unfortunately, it did not know I had soul pupils, and I could see it no matter how deep it roamed in the ground to avoid being caught by my mental exploration.
"Stone Viltrontian, I chose you." I summoned one of my A-rank Stone Viltrontians to deal with the earthworm-type monster. I had summoned the normal stone viltronian instead of the boss Stone Viltronian as this stone viltronian had comprehended a rule meaning suitable for this enemy.
A while back, I found that upgrading the calamity daughter core to the calamity daughter gem in the Stone Viltronians gave them the ability to comprehend rules. For example, Boss Stone Viltronian had comprehended the Petrification meaning of the Rock rule.
As for the stone viltronian I summoned right now, it had comprehended the Earth rule and its meaning, Earth Escape. The earth escape meaning allowed the stone viltronian to burrow through the earth like swimming in water. Quite similar to the ability of the giant earthworm-type monster.
"Stone Viltronian, calamity daughter gem second transformation, Titan form activate! Hunt that big worm down!" With my command, the Stone Viltronian turned into a giant Stone Viltronian titan and burrowed into the ground pursuing the giant earthworm-type monster. Seeing the titan stone viltronian head towards it, the earthworm-type monster did not run away, but it rushed to clash with it. It underestimated stone viltronian ability inside the earth, believing its ability gave it an edge over its opponent. Unfortunately, it didn't know that its opponent, too, had a similar power.
As the giant earthworm and the titan stone viltronian clashed underneath the city ground, the whole city felt the aftershocks of the battle in the form of large tremors, leading to the people misinterpreting the shocks as an earthquake. Now that the giant earthworm was busy, I could search for the perps responsible for all this in the surrounding vicinity without worrying that the ground underneath me would try to swallow me.
I scanned the surroundings with my soul pupils, and I found a hidden soul pathway over the rooftop of the burger empire. Interestingly I could identify these sets of soul pathways and arrangements. They belonged to the single-horned cloaked figure who sacrificed herself earlier to summon the giant earthworm-type monster.
Somehow this single-horned cloaked figure has escaped death and cheated the demonic ritual twice. I don't know how she did it, but there has to be a trick to it. But it does not change the fact that, despite her low realm, she was no ordinary opponent. The cloaked figure realized that I was peeking at her. So I rushed toward her at full speed before she could escape again.
