“Well, your brain seems to work just fine when you want to escape work, if only you had used half of it to write your report, Redfall would be in custody but instead he is out there roaming, I cannot imagine how many innocent soul Redfall must have ruined in these three days.” Asong sighed and then looking at Anna she added, “I thought you had no idea about demigod Yin Widow’s grimoire.”
“Yin Window’s grimoire? I have no idea what you are talking about.” Anna took out a diamond grimoire from her storage card, and hearing Asong she still denied that she had Yin Widows grimoire.
“…” Shaking her head at her friend’s response, Asong asked, “Give me Yin widow’s blood. I will give it to my aid and use it to create a substitute.”
“About that, I forgot to collect her blood,” Anna replied while scratching the back of her head.
“What? Then how are we supposed to unlock the grimoire?” Asong glanced at Anna in irritation.
“How about we get her direct descendant’s blood?” Anna thought of a solution.
“Yin Widow’s had only one direct descendant, Redfall. Isn’t your purpose of opening her grimoire to find him if he has returned from the dead. God! Anna, why can’t you take things seriously. Who forgets to collect the corpse of a demigod? Do you know how valuable it is? Fuck, what would a prodigal like you know?” Asong blurted out in frustration. She did not mean to blame Anna but she believed that Redfall had been reborn and was scarifying innocent souls to regain his strength. Despite knowing all this she wasn’t able to do a thing because of the incompetence of her friend so naturally she was frustrated.
“I know someone who would have stored demigod Yin Widow’s corpse.” Anna suddenly responded. Unlike Asong who wanted to save every soul possible, Anna only cared about saving what she can. Mistakes happen and it is not possible to save everybody.
“What are you talking about? Didn’t you write in your report in bold letters that you killed her alone?” Asong wondered how childish was her friend to brag about her deed in a report using bold letters.
“Technically I was alone when I slew Yin Widow, but there was someone else she must have remembered to store Yin Widow’s corpse.” Answered Anna.
“Was it Ann?” Asong shook her head realizing her friend wasn’t bragging just lying. Well, Ann was Anna’s origin card so technically Anna killed Yin Widow by herself.
“Yes, since Ann is my summon technically I have killed a demigod all by myself,” said Anna, but it felt more like she was convincing herself.
“What about the devil? Was Ann present then too?” Asong asked Anna.
“Nope, that was me alone, all by myself. Ann was back in the base helping Luna defend the dungeon relocation apparatus from demon Worshippers.” Anna answered enthusiastically. Because killing a devil trumps a demigod any time.
“Good for you, Now—” Asong was going to ask Anna to call Ann but was interrupted.
“Ann is your summons? Anna, what do you mean by that? Ann told me that she was your twin sister.” First, what heck was the soul status candle card? And the fact that card apprentices can unlock the grimoire of a dead card apprentice using their blood, now the truth about Ann, I couldn’t keep quiet, I had to get some answers. If it was really possible to open a dead card apprentice’s grimoire using their or their direct descendant’s blood. And how can Ann be Anna’s summon, when I used my soul pupils on her I felt no difference between her soul pathway and a regular human’s soul pathways. If creating such summons was possible than my idea to create pleasure cards was in jeopardy.
“Well, Ann and I are twin sisters, or at least that is what my family and she claim. But the truth is she is my origin card, a high-level independent avatar/incarnation card that was created using my second personality. Though she looks like me she isn’t me. So if you were to mistake her for me, I will not forgive you.” Anna warned me with a stern gaze.
“Oh, okay—” learning that Ann was Anna’s origin card created using her split personality, I was amazed and sighed in relief, knowing that my pleasure card business was safe. Next, I wanted to ask Anna about the unlocking grimoire and the soul status candle card but was interrupted by Asong, “I am sorry Wyatt, but Anna, hurry up and contact Ann, we need to find Redfall before he does too much damage.”
“Yes, I have already sent her a message she will be here.” Anna said hearing Asong and then turned to me, “You wanted to ask something.”
“What is a soul status candle card?” I asked Anna.
“It is a high-level card created using the placenta of the newborn baby, often created by mothers to track their babies and their health,” Anna answered. Hearing her explanation of the soul status card I started panicking. Because I had demigod Redfall’s soul. If Anna can take out the soul status card from Yin Widow’s grimoire then how am I going to explain to them why I have Redfall’s soul? And why is stored in an unknown gem?
As all these thoughts flooded my mind, I started to panic, but my expression remained peaceful, as I asked, “Anna, is it really possible to unlock the grimoire of a dead card apprentice and take their card?”
“Yes, but it is expensive and complex,” Anna answered with a short reply and didn’t go into details and added, “We are going to perform it shortly you can watch.”
Hearing Anna, I understood why I had not heard anybody mention this method. If something was complex and expensive for rich ladies like Anna and Asong, the regular people can forget about being able to use that method. This was for the good as it would stop card apprentices from killing each other for their cards. After all, Card apprentice killing for higher-level grimoire is already enough problem.
