Location- Sky Blossom City, Dungeon Highway, Barren Lands, Blood Rock Cave Gate Dungeon

Sages have spent ages understanding Womankind but have failed. Womankind is a being that thrives in chaos. Trying to understand a being that thrives in chaos is our mistake. And today, I witnessed this in the flesh.

"No s.h.i.+t, it is already here," Bloodette yelled, feeling the alarm she had left on the edge of the bridge alert her of the invader from the river of souls.

"What?" Cortney and I cried out in panic.

"I said the demiG.o.d soul has already descended to the material plane and is currently in the girl's bloodline," Bloodette repeated herself, but this time she added more details.

"Are you sure?" I asked Bloodette, feeling no change in the cave. Sarah continued to glow in blood-red light while absorbing blood rule and energy from the blood rocks of the cave. Everything was the same. I guess my expectations for the demiG.o.d's entrance were too high. I was expecting an intimidating presence to fill the cave as the demiG.o.d souls descended, but I guess the demiG.o.d Redfall chose to be low-key until he handled more pressing matters.

"Bloodette put an end to your shenanigans and exit the dungeon seal, you guys will only act as food or nuisance with your presence here," I ordered Bloodette and Cortney. Since demiG.o.d Redfall had no intention of revealing his presence, I asked Bloodette and Cortney to make use of this time and desert the dungeon seal.

"Wyatt, what about you?" Cortney asked in concern. Even though I had already a.s.sured her that I had my means to handle the demiG.o.d soul, she did not seem to believe me. Who can blame her? Would you believe if a Card Soldier said that he could fight a Card demiG.o.d even if it is just a wandering soul?

"Yes, Wyatt. Don't act brave. We can return with more firepower." Bloodette also asked me to follow them out.

"Trust me, now leave. And remember, don't let anyone inside. That includes both of you too." I stared into Cortney's eyes and a.s.sured her that I had everything under control. Things in the blood rock cave will get serious soon, so I didn't want to be disturbed, and most importantly, I did not wish to have spectators witness what I was going to do next.

"Okay, got it. You be careful," saying that Cortney activated her innate blood rune collecting Bloodlette into it, she headed out of the dungeon gate. Running out of the dungeon gate Cortney regretted not having insisted enough to her friend to leave with them.

"If you want to, we can still go get him." Bloodette offered, feeling Cortney's regret.

"No, he asked me to trust him. I trust him. Let's just wait for him here." Cortney wanted to drag out her friend from the dungeon, but her gut told her to follow her friend's instructions.

"Okay, we don't have any place to be anyway. That reminds me, what did you mean earlier when you said I wanted to play the hero?" Bloodette knew exactly what Cortney meant and that is why it hurt her. She did not decide to sacrifice herself to play the hero at that moment she just wanted to save her friend no matter the cost, even if it was her own life. Why doesn't her friend understand that.

"Now that you remind me of that, how dare you? How dare you do something so colossally stupid? Who gave you the right to wager your life for mine?

Fortunately for you, you are hiding in the innate rune. Otherwise, I would have given a proper a.s.s whooping for your actions." Cortney fumed. She really wanted to whoop Bloodette's for her reckless behavior earlier.

"..." With every word that came out of Cortney's mouth, the fury that had been built up inside Bloodette started to disappear as she realized she had misunderstood her friend and her intentions. Feeling that Cortney valued their friends.h.i.+p as much as she did, Bloodette felt pleased and comforted. And finally, realizing how much worry her reckless actions have brought to Cortney, she apologized, " I am sorry."

"You better be. And you better not repeat the same mistake. Otherwise, I will never forgive you. And also, thank you." Who said there is no thank you or sorry in friends.h.i.+p? Words are necessary for proper communication, which is essential for building and maintaining a good friends.h.i.+p.

"Cortney, you remember you promised to bring me to many blood delicacies and high-ranking dungeons." Having patched things up. Bloodette showcased her shamelessness.

"Nope," Cortney did not bend to Bloodette's shamelessness.

"What? You promised. And according to your tao tongue physique, you should follow your promise." Bloodette complained.

"That was a conditional promise. Girl, don't try to act smart. Since you did not uphold your end of the bargain, I am not obliged to do anything for you." Bloodette acting-wise was not new for Cortney, Bloodette's unofficial mother.

The pseudopod head of Bloodette emerged from Cortney's body and made cute faces begging Cortney to have mercy on her.

"You two? How did you guys get out here? And where is Wyatt?" Having killed Yin Widow, Anna came to the blood rock gate dungeon escaping from Luna, arguing that she would fetch Cortney back to Southern Watch's custody. Due to the unexpected arrival of Yin Widow, Anna had to stop filling her mental strength into the dungeon relocation apparatus. With the interruption, the whole thing had to be restarted again. Therefore making an excuse, Anna left her task to old Lorenzo and ran here to play with her crush.

"Wyatt is inside the dungeon. He is dealing with a matter regarding his female subordinate." Cortney did not reveal the crux of the matter but vaguely answered Anna just enough to satisfy her. As for Bloodette, she immediately hid in Cortney's innate rune.

"What? With that red ant out here, how is Wyatt supposed to come out of the dungeon? Did you guys purposefully lock my Wyatt in the dungeon? What's going on here?"
