Chapter 652 Stone Craft

Date- 31 Mar 2321

Time- 13:50

Location- Sky Blossom City, Burger Empire.

As soon as the single-horned cloaked figure realized I had spotted her location, she activated some kind of clone card and summoned sixty-six exact copies of herself. Then all sixty-seven of them sacrifice themselves once again, turning themselves into gore slime. These gore slime joined together to form one big blob of gore. Then the giant gore blob morphed into an enormous humanoid blood golem, blood lord of card lord realm.

Seeing this, I stopped my advance and backed away to a safe distance. Observing how the cloaked figure could summon 66 exact copies of herself and use them to perform a demonic summoning ritual, I realized that her clone card was out of the ordinary since clones cannot be used in ritual sacrifice, especially not for a demonic summoning ritual.

Now that I have solved half of the cloaked figures' mystery regarding how they can sacrifice themselves to a demonic ritual and still stay alive, the claimed figure seemed less threatening. Did I feel threatened by it earlier? Yes, as what it did was basically equal to cheating death. But now that I understood the trick behind how it did it, I was no longer that threatened by it now.

The giant blood golem, blood lord, made an enormous blood sword and slashed at me. It, too, like its predecessor, targeted me at the command of its master. I dodged the incoming blood sword and yelled, " Stone Viltronian! I chose you!

Calamity daughter gem, second transformation, titan form!"

I summoned another one of my stone viltronian to face the giant blood golem. This, too similar to the boss stone viltronian, had comprehended Rock rule but the Rock rule meaning it chose at the bifurcation Point is, "stone craft!"

As the name suggests, stone craft allows the user to create magical items using stones. Higher the quality of the rock, the better the item grade. This was surprising and a waste of a good meaning on a monster.

Stone viltronian is a monster. It doesn't know any other fighting style other than using its fist and stone manipulation ability. Therefore a meaning as valuable as the stone craft, which requires a host with a strong imagination, is as good as wasted on a stone viltronian. But still, I think I can train it to use stone craft meaning more efficiently using the Hive AI.

With the help of the Hive AI, stone viltronian used the stone craft to create an enormous stone sword to counter the Blood Lord and its blood sword. Still, the moments of the stone viltronian were sluggish. It hasn't gotten used to taking orders from hive AI. But it was able to hold its ground against the blood Lord. Leaving them alone, I searched for the cloaked figure once again and found her in the middle of the civilians, secured by Ed and chief Denise.

Since the cloaked figure was hiding in a crowd, I did not dare to stare at her too long, fearing that I may alert her and trigger her to sacrifice herself with the other people surrounding her to another one of her demon summoning rituals.

Now I was in a tricky situation. I wanted to confront the cloaked figure, but she hid among the civilians. Even if I knew where she was, I could not face her worrying for the tens of innocent souls surrounding her. I thought of slowly nearing her and capturing her, but considering how cautious she is, that's not an option.

This situation indeed would render average card apprentices helpless but not me, as I had a calamity parent soul gem, which instructed my calamity daughter gem, Ed, to shift the civilians to a new place without attracting attention.

"Chief! We should shift these people over there. That place is more spacious. I think they will be safer there." Ed suggested to the police chief Denise.

"Sure, you do that and I will check if someone is left behind." After giving it a thought, Chief Denise agreed to Ed's proposal as what he proposed held merit. Considering the tumors of the earthquake are getting stronger and stronger, the narrow place they are in right now was not safe for their survival. They need to head to an open area far from all the infrastructure.

Soon the crowd of civilians followed Ed's lead to a much more spacious and safer location, away from the buildings and grounds with tunnels underneath them. As the crowd cleared the place, the cloaked figure in stealth moved to keep up with them at a languidly slow pace. Her slow pace seemed to be the side effect of her extraordinary stealth card. The cloaked figure could not keep up with the crowd, yet she slowly moved toward them.

"Found you!" As soon as Ed gave me the clear, I rushed towards the cloaked figure with my soul pupils active. Before I knew it, I grabbed the cloaked figure from behind and raised her above ground by her neck. As soon as I touched her, her stealth was deactivated. Though the stealth ability of her card was top-notch, it seem to have too many restrictions.

"How are you able to find me every time? None of the card apprentices in the lower realm has ever been able to see through my stealth so easily." Being caught by me, the cloaked figure did not struggle to free herself. Instead, she calmly asked how I could find her every time.

"I was able to find you every time thanks to my origin card Aura sight, duh! What kind of assassin are you? Don't you even know the origin card of your target? How irresponsible of you?

Now, tell me, why is the demonic cult targeting me? I never messed with you guys. So why are you people after me?" It was public knowledge that I had gained mama Wyatt's origin card, Aura Sight, which could discern people's auras. And yet this Demon cult minion asked such a silly question—

*Booom!*
