“Must be good to have a card emperor sugar mama to spoil you so much. But an elemental summon rune card? there should be a limit to how much you spoil your boy toy.” Corey was very envious of me owning Cloud Lord and she did not hide it.
“Must be good to be born with a golden spoon. ” I responded to Corey’s taunt by referring to her rich family. There are so many things where I want to correct Corey but choose not cause that would not help my case.
There are two ways to use runes one to turn runes into cards and the other is to derive rune’s power as an ingredient to create a card.
Corey mistook Cloud lord as an elemental created using the power of rules from the broken rune but the Cloud lord is not an elemental he itself is a rune, a broken rune to be exact. Those who comprehend element-based world rules after forging their runes can create elemental summon cards using the power of the rune they comprehended but Cloud Lord is a broken rune that is converted into a card to have the elemental physique. It is more of a walking talking rune than a common elemental.
The reason Corey was envious of the Cloud Lord is that there’s a difference between an elemental summon formed using the power of runes and a normal elemental summon. And that is the elemental’s summons command over that particular element rule.
Normal elementals are a mass of elemental soul energy with sentience and elementals created using a mass of soul energy influenced by world rules and runes are called Elemental summon rune cards. Unlike them, cloud lord is a rune with an elemental body. The vast majority of similarities between the two led Corey to misunderstand it as an Elemental summon rune card.
Using one’s own rune power to create an elemental and using a broken rune to create elemental are two different things.
Either way with my current power I should not be able to use a broken rune power to create Elemental summon rune cards. Rune cards have sentiences and they follow their master’s command. But rune cards created using the power of broken runes are different; they do not have a master so they recognize a new master. Usually, it is the person who created them using the power of a broken rune.
Corey was confused that if Anna created the rune card then its master should be Anna, why is it following my Command? Being contradicted by her speculations, Corey chose to credit Anna with mysteries that confused her.
“But, you do know that your Elemental summon rune card is not a match of my Ego Flame. Why don’t you accept your defeat so I do not have to break the new toy given to you by your sugar mama?” Corey was right, an Elemental summon rune card is not a match of Ego Flame but Cloud Lord was not an Elemental summon rune card it was also an Ego Elemental of sorts.
Ego Flame is a flame created by forging a fire element-based rune into a Flame with sentience quite similar to Cloud Lord except Cloud Lord is forged from a broken rune and Corey’s Ego Flame is forged from a complete rune.
Forging a Flame rule-based rune into an Ego Flame is a much more advanced process than creating a fire elemental using the power of a rune. This also meant Ego Flame is also a lot stronger compared to a fire elemental summon rune card. And an Ego Flame can give birth to Fire elementals but vice versa is not possible.
Similarly, Cloud Lord can also make use of the power of broken runes to create numerous Cloud elementals.
“Corey, how about less talk and more fists. Cloud Lord use meteorite hail.” This time I chose to go on offense instead of waiting for Corey to make her move. And with my command Cloud lord summoned dark clouds and then from them, ten basketball-sized hail fell on Corey with incredible speed.
“Incinerate, using Ice against fire your dumb aren’t you.” Corey waved her arm and a wave of fire engulfed the incoming ten basketball-sized hail and incinerated them.
“Lightning Rain” I did not bother to retort to Corey’s lame comments. And instead chose to end this as fast as possible. And with my command lightning started to shower from the aforementioned dark clouds aiming at Corey.
“Flame dance” Corey’s body flickered and danced like a flame as it escaped the lightning shower with ease. Escaping my Lightning rain Corey added, “My turn, Summon seventh hell eternal agony.”
Instantly the whole frozen magma arena once again started to burn with a dark red color flame as smoke from the flame filled the air. Once again forcing me to fly and leave the arena. Unlike Corey who had her time creating moves using ego flame. I had just created Cloud Lord and did not have any fancy moves like the one Corey had which literally turned the arena into a burning hell.
But Corey wasn’t done yet after summoning the seventh hell eternal agony she commanded, “Sinners of Agony, Arise.”
The dark red flame covering the arena started making wailing sounds and started to emit smoke in larger quantities. The smoke emitted by the flames started to get dense and denser. Then soon the smoke from the dark red flames started to condense and take shape into the form of creatures I had never seen before. All these creatures looked ferocious and had a huge built and bulky physique. The flame produced smoke nonstop and the new smoke started to condense and form dark smoke armor and weaponry which later was equipped on to the monsters.
Almost 30 something huge smoke monsters equipped with black smoke armor and weapons stood in the burning dark red flames. Looking at this scene I suddenly remembered something I had seen a while back. A monster army covered in black armor standing information in a burning land. I remembered seeing this in Corey’s eyes a while back.
“Shocked, there is more where that came from. At this point, you might as well surrender. You fought bravely but the result was already set in stone the movement you went up against me.” Corey preached
