After entering the hermit’s retreat I did not dare to relax my vigilance even for a second. As I was dealing with semi-demigods here. These people were one step away from establishing their divinity, who knows what they were capable of? I could not take any chances here, my life was at stake here.
Even though I was not out of the fryer yet thanks to my shopping spree at the silent auction, I was able to fair better than I expected. I was not speaking about the B-rank 100 clones’ escape card, the semi-demigods saw through that card in under a second and directly aimed for my three calamity daughter clones. But it was my fault for expecting a bunch of B-rank clones to fool semi-demigods. Fortunately, a few of the custom cards that I tweaked at the last second proved to be helpful, especially the Corpse wood coffin, Corpse wood stake, and the hermit’s retreat.
The Corpse wood sold at the auction was nowhere near enough to create a stake and a coffin, so I had to use my insights to grow the 15 cm corpse wood more than enough to make a corpse wood stake, and coffin and save a little of it for future use.
As for the hermit crab monster’s mutated shell, I bid for it after seeing an anomaly in its soul pathways but upon closer inspection, it turned out that the mutation in the hermit card monster’s shell was related to space ability. Now that was a surprise, I was not expecting a random ingredient I bid for in the auction to have space ability, which happened to be one of the most coveted abilities of the Space system, Sub-space. Thanks to this I no longer had to bother with multiple storage cards. This Subspace was still under renovation so I had not emptied my storage cards in here yet but once the renovations were done this space would house the most precious of all rare ingredients I come across.
If the silent auction was not rigged by Cheng then I don’t think I could have gotten my hands on these rare ingredients and cards. So it was a good decision to recruit him in my calamity daughter gem army. If not for the ingredients I procured in the silent auction, I wouldn’t have been able to capture Mike alive for the Blood fate plunder ritual.
Yes, I would still be in possession of his corpse, but the greater the time passes between the sacrifice’s death and the ritual’s time, the gains will be significantly less compared to the gains of a fresh sacrifice for the ritual. This meant if I tried to extract the origin card from his corpse, I would have fewer chances of getting the complete original card as it was.
Thankfully now I did not have to worry about that as I had made use of the corpse wood stake and corpse wood coffin to capture Mike alive. This way my sacrifice was as fresh as it could get. Summoning the corpse wood coffin, I opened the lid to begin the ritual for the blood fate plunder.
Soon the blood fate plunder rune hovered out of my calamity soul gem and hovered above my sacrifice, Mike Brown. Then using my thought I commanded the corpse wood stake that had taken root in Mike’s body to tear Mike’s heart to shreds, killing him in the process.
Once Mike Brown was dead the blood fate plunder rune hovering above his body began to shine with a brilliant red light attracting the blood from Mike’s body. Mike’s blood began to be sucked in and devoured by the blood fate plunder rune. A few minutes in, Mike’s body had dried up with no trace of blood in it and turned into ash leaving behind a platinum grimoire and a broken ego gem.
Once the blood fate plunder rune had devoured the blood Mike’s body had to offer, the blood fate plunder rune began to shine brighter than before. Soon the entire subspace was filled with blinding red light. So, I had no choice but to look away, and the next second the blinding red light ceased to exist and a red card took the place of the blood fate plunder card. Then floating card hovered in front of me, taking it I read its card info with great nervousness as I learned that Mike had two origin cards as the blood fate plunder card was done processing Mike’s blood. Other than his origin cards there was not much worth coveting. So having witnessed both of Mike’s origin cards in action and having experienced them first hand I knew which one of the origin cards I wanted the most, apparently it was called the Myriad Devil body. The bone Dragon origin card of Mike was attractive but compared to the Myriad Devil body it fell short.
