Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sun blossom city
In the air of the sun blossom city, time and again people could hear sonic booms. When the curious public came to the streets to look at the sky they saw the sky brighten up with various colors and numerous cracks spread across it oozing deadly energy, feeling an imminent threat from the crack formation in the sky the general public was thrown into chaos. Fearing for their life, from mortals to card students to card lords, every single one rushed to the nearby shelter as per the disaster guidelines that were prominent during the monster war. It has been decades since the monster war but the dread of the war was still fresh in the bones of the people, so it did not take them long to find shelter at the first sign of war.
At a time of urgency, the humanity that cannot be seen in the city during a regular day was seen in Sun blossom city, the veterans and survivors of the monster war from decades ago stepped up to help the young blood that had never experienced such disaster in their life. The general public, regardless of the realm hierarchy that had taken root in the bones of modern society, worked hand in hand to make sure that the casualty would be low and everyone in need of help gets tended to. Fortunately, though the cracks in the sky seemed deadly none of them miraclously ever reached the city thanks to the activation of the city array which isolated it from the outside space. Yet, the citizens of the sun blossom city did not let their guard down and hide in the shelter.
In a span of a few minutes, the entire sun blossom city was empty, the streets that used to be buzzing now had a graveyard silence. It was amazing how in face of common threats, mankind that was known for its greed can work together like a single entity to achieve what could have been deemed impossible on any given regular day. Thanks to the evacuation guidelines, a few minutes, that was all it took for the citizens of the sun blossom city to rush to safety.
Unlike card emperors semi-demigods were entities with divinity, no matter how little divinity they could use, it was the power that stood above the rules of the world, holding the equation to creation and destruction alike. So when it was released into the atmosphere the space around it collapsed exposing the world to the legendary void that was only accessible to the beings with divinity.
Under the constant barrage of attacks, the semi-demigods of the circle had to go around their escape route as they did not want a rogue attack destroying their teleportation array. But no matter how they tried to get rid of the allied semi-demigods off their backs, their opponents somehow continued to sniff their trail. Stressed on time the semi-demigods from the circle were getting impatient. And finally decided to sacrifice one of them so that the other could two could escape with the three clones of the boy captured by them. Though each of them was certain that the clone they captured was the original body of the boy, that was not the point right now, one of them, a semi-demigod had to stay behind so that they could retrieve the corpse of a mere card lord realm branch leader. That was how much the supreme leader valued Mike. He was willing to exchange a live and kicking semi-demigod just to get his hand on Mike’s corpse.
“Agatha, I don’t think either of them is a lich,” Number Nine said as continued to tail her target.
“I think so too,” Agatha agreed with Number nine because if a Lich wanted to escape neither was capable of stopping them. Seeing how their opponents were struggling to throw them off their trail she knew she may have overestimated her opponents.
“Then what are you waiting for, use the card the southern emperor gave you,” Number Ten suggested to Agatha.
“No, that is for desperate situations,” Agatha did not agree to Number Ten’s suggestion feeling that they could hold the enemy till the reinforcements arrived.
“They have all three clones of the boy, one of them got to be the original body, can the situation get any more desperate than this,” Number Ten believed that they should get the situation under control as soon as possible instead of waiting around for the reinforcement.
“No, we wait,” Agatha disagreed once again. Though the card lent to her by the southern emperor was strong and guaranteed success it came at a great cost if used by someone who did not possess the unparalleled bloodline.
Agatha had grown close to the boy and was willing to risk her life for him but the situation has not gotten to that point, therefore she held off from calling in the big guns.
“Watch out, enemy converging, they are up to something,” Number Ten reminded the other two as they argued about opinions.
“It seems two of them have decided to stall three of us while the remaining one escapes with all three clones of the boy,” Number Ten immediately deduced based on the enemies’ movements. But he would never have guessed that the enemy dare to underestimate them. So imagine his surprise when he saw only one of the enemy semi-demigods stay behind to stall all three of them while the other two escaped.
“I will take him on, you two follow the other two,” Number Nine made a decisive decision. She would rather hunt the strongest of the three but, unlike her Number Ten was wittier and Agatha held the trump card, so she felt that she was the one that should stay behind while the other two hunted the remaining enemies.
“Okay,” Number Ten and Agatha did not argue and nodded in response to Number Ten’s suggestion.
