Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild association mall, Warehouse no.234, Card Lab
Looking at the three card’s info, I let out my breath in satisfaction. Pocketing the cards, I head out of the card lab. Walking out of the Card lab, I saw all three, Anna, Susan, Luna, and Lorenzo, meditating.
It seems they did not sleep and instead chose to focus on their active soul control.
As for Susan, being a professional, she could not leave VIP clients unattended, so she decided to meditate in the warehouse instead of going home.
Cortney and Clown Mask were also meditating in the opposite corner. It appears everyone has noticed my presence, and one by one, all of them got out of their meditative state.
“Good morning everybody, it looks like everyone had a productive night.” I greeted everyone and headed towards the shower next to my warehouse bedroom to refresh myself and change into new clothes.
“Where are you going? Was the card creation successful?” Luna questioned, seeing me avoid them, and headed towards another room.
“Well, the card creation was successful. I am heading in there for a change of clothes.” Having said that, I walked towards the room.
“Skill card – Purple Shine” Luna summoned her grimoire and activated a card covering the entire warehouse and everybody in it in purple light.
“This also works. Man, I gotta get myself one of those cards.” I felt a purple light bath me, my clothes, and soon I felt my body and clothes cleansed, purified, refreshed and re-energized. Not just me, the entire warehouse and everybody inside was washed and purified by the skill card purple shine that Luna activated. The purple light bathed the dust covering the ceiling, floors, and shelves of the warehouse.
“Let me save you the trouble of buying a cleansing card. If what you promised is delivered, I will give you a purification card.” Luna seemed to be very keen about the demonstration I promised and supposedly seemed to have forgotten the chain of command. So I turned to look at Anna.
“Grandfather promised Luna to help her build her military just like the Southern Watch under me and the Way Beyond Patrol under my uncle’s command. If what you promised is possible, then your cards will be helping her build this world’s first Mecha Army.” Anna explained. No wonder Luna appeared so eager than Lorenzo, Anna and chose to stay the night at a warehouse.
Not every card apprentice has the talent to forge their Ego Gem. And it becomes even more impossible to forge an Ego Gem in higher realms. Therefore the card apprentices widely believe that the card lord realm is the only realm where an average card apprentice has the highest chance of forging an ego gem. So many chose not to progress in the realm after reaching the card lord realm until they had forged their ego gem. The best examples of this are William Bright, Jack Whitburn.
But sometimes, some who reach the end of their age limit and life span choose to break through to extend their life span and survive. These types of card apprentices who are in a higher realm without an ego gem are weaker than the card apprentices of the same realm. And are not treated with the same respect as their counterparts.
To create an Armed force of the same level as the Southern Watch and Way Beyond Patrol under the Heatsend family, one will require an enormous number of mighty card apprentices with ego gems, which can take up to decades or more to gather. So, Luna had no way to form a powerful armed force in a short time. But mechas powered by broken rune energy gave Luna a new way to build the army she wanted as fast as possible.
“Luna, you are a researcher. What do you need an army for? I know you were always jealous of me, but trying to build an Army just because I have one isn’t it a bit much?” Anna blamed Luna for she only wanted a personal army out of jealousy and nothing else.
“Narcissistic much, Anna. Think whatever you want. Before you blame me, tell me why I can not have a personal army? Or is it because only you, the princess, can have one?” Luna blamed Anna saying that Anna could not stomach that her grandfather promised Luna a personal army.
“Uh-huh, so you accept that you want a personal enemy just because I have one.” While I was inside the card lab busy with card creation, the warehouse seemed to have been eventful because of these two cousins.
“Whatever” ignoring Anna, Luna turned to me and asked, “Wyatt, can we begin the demonstration.”
“Don’t get me wrong. How does the hierarchy work in your family? One second you act docile towards Anna, and another second you are at each other’s throat? Who is my client here?” I did not answer Luna’s question right away.
Because I saw Anna was pissed off seeing Luna taking the lead regarding the mecha cards. And also, I was confused. Who was I making a deal with? Anna or Luna? Sometimes they acted close, and sometimes they acted like rivals. Forming an agreement with Anna was okay, but Luna, I could not trust her. After all, she wanted to erase my presence from this world and turn me into a Heatsend family slave.
“There is no hierarchy in the younger generation of the Heatsend family.” Lorenzo answered since Luna and Anna were busy in a glaring contest. Younger generation? Old dude, both Anna and Luna are old enough to be called grandma.
“I gave you the runes, and I paid for the card ingredients. That makes me your client. Now you can begin the demonstration, Wyatt.” Anna’s argument was sound. Anna was the one who paid for the card ingredients and provided the three Fire, Earth, and Wind broken runes. By default, she was my client, and I had to answer her.
“Right here? Not possible. How about we go somewhere open and quiet? a dungeon would work.” Each beast mechas were about 20 meters in height. Summoning them in the warehouse would be the stupidest notion. So I recommended that we shift to a dungeon, preferably a gate dungeon, for privacy.
“Okay. Then let’s head to the dungeon.” Saying that, Anna summoned her grimoire and activated her mass teleportation card.
“Really Anna, how many times did aunty and grand aunt warn you not to use the teleportation cards unless it is urgent? We could have taken a cab to the nearest dungeon….” Luna seemed to have not finished her sentence, but soon all of us present in the warehouse were teleported.
“Where is this?” I asked, looking at my surroundings, it was a vast open grassland full of vitality, and strong wind filled the air.
“SS-rank Gate dungeon, Storm Horse Grassland. This is where I come to clear my mind.” Answered Anna. Hearing that we were in an SS-rank gate dungeon Susan, Cortney, Clown mask, and I panicked. Seeing this, Anna hurriedly added, ” Don’t worry, this dungeon is captured, so you guys are safe here.”
“Anna, if you were going to use the teleportation card, you could have taken us to the royal palace training grounds.” Luna suggested. Hearing Luna, a sudden realization dawned on Anna as she slapped her forehead for impulsively using her teleportation card.
“Forget about that. Since we are already here, let’s make the best of this.” Saying that I summoned my grimoire and took out the Gale eagle Rider ring and Terrain back Tortoise rider ring cards and handed them to Cortney and Clown mask. And asked them to equip it.
“Before I demonstrate the cards I have created, let me go through the cost and the ingredients used in the creation of these cards,
[A-rank Volcano Lion Beast Will x 1 card
A-rank Terrain back turtle Beast Will x 1 card
A-rank Gale Eagle Beast Will x 1 card
