Location- Sky Blossom City, D-rank Silver Beach gate dungeon.
“I guess you are finally ready to stand up for your demon-loving deviant ancestors.” Hearing the demon card apprentice’s finally come up with some quality trash-talk, Anna knew he was done stalling and ready to battle.
“You’re going to regret letting me complete my move. Infinite blood spring.” The demon card apprentice scoffed at Anna’s mockery as his preparations were finally done. With his yell, the forest of giant blood-red blossom trees started to spread.
Earlier the blood spring forest only covered the 5 km route to the D-rank silver beach dungeon, but now it was slowly spreading to swallow the entire military base built surrounding the D-rank dungeon gate.
When the Demon cult card emperor activated the Blood spring field card, he already had a plan in his head, that is, to swallow the military base into the blood spring forest. Making it easier for his minions to sneak into the military base and steal all the dungeon relocation apparatuses.
While the demon cult card emperor summoned the blood spring forest and stalled Anna, the roots of the blood blossom trees in the blood spring forest extended to the various corpses of the cloaked figure surrounding the military base, in which the cult card apprentice was smuggled.
Using the corpses of the cloaked figure as marks, the roots of the blood blossom trees circled the military base, meeting the condition for the demon cult card emperor to activate the skill infinite blood spring of his field card.
[Anna, you lazy bitch! What are you doing? If any of the parts of the dungeon relocation apparatus is damaged, the Royal family will lose a lot of money. Please stop trying to enjoy the battle and, for once, finish the fight quickly.] Ann sent a mental voice message to Anna after the blood spring forest covered the entire military base. She was thankful that the dungeon relocation apparatus were unharmed in this ordeal.
[Don’t worry, the demon cult minions don’t dare to damage the dungeon relocation apparatus. I guarantee.] Anna sent Ann a message assuring her that the dungeon relocation apparatus would be fine and wouldn’t be damaged by demon cult minions.
[How can you guarantee that? What did you do?] Anna’s assurance made Ann more frantic, worrying about the dungeon relocation apparatus.
[I didn’t do a thing. The demon cult is after the dungeon relocation apparatus and Luna, the core members of the dungeon relocation research. Since they want the dungeon relocation apparatus, I figure they would prefer it to be working. So they wouldn’t dare harm the dungeon relocation apparatus.] Anna reported nonchalantly. She was still not in a hurry to defeat the demon cultists and secure the military base.
[Why didn’t you report all this? And why are they after Luna?] Ann was surprised and irritated that Anna was sitting on so much information and did not think to report it others.
[I am the highest authority in this temporary military base. Whom do I report to? Now that you know you report to the others.] Anna was indeed the highest authority on the military base. Therefore, she had no one to report to and had to decide how to deal with the ambush on the military base by herself. And then command her soldiers accordingly.
[Wait! Why are they after Luna? I know she is the core researcher in dungeon relocation. Still, if they can get information that we are conducting a dungeon relocation test here, then they should have all the research work on the dungeon relocation done by Luna and her team. So why do they need her?] Ann didn’t understand why the demon cult would risk abducting the descendants of the southern royal family. Stealing from the royal family is one thing, but the abduction of the royal descendants was equal to declaring war on the royal family. No matter where the demon cult hides, the royal family would hunt them.
[Idiot, what is the use of stealing the dungeon relocation apparatuses if they do not know how to operate them? Why do you think the morning star university and the government agreed to allow our family to use the dungeon relocation apparatus? It is because we had Luna, one of the very few people who can operate the dungeon relocation apparatus.] Working the dungeon relocation apparatus was no joke. It required excellent skills and knowledge about the dungeon relocation and not something the could be mastered by practicing a few times.
Because in case of failure, the gate dungeon about to be relocated will destabilize and turn into a small black hole swallowing everything around it for a minute before getting exploded by the World’s Will. Unlike earth’s will, this card world’s will was awake, so it would not shy away from taking action against any potential danger to itself. Since all its creations are equal in its eyes, it rarely participates in mortal’s mundane matters.
Therefore, the demon cult required someone like Luna to operate the dungeon relocation apparatus. Without her expertise, they have no use for the dungeon relocation.
[I see. Finish the demon cultists fast. Grandpa Lorenzo said that if any one of the demon cultists set foot in the military base, he would make use of the formation. You have been warned, so don’t blame grandpa Lorenzo later for killing all the demon cultists and ruining your fun.] Ann mentally conversed with Anna and simultaneously reported Anna’s findings to Lorenzo and other high-ranking soldiers in the base.
[What the —] Anna wanted to cuss the old Lorenzo for giving her an ultimatum but was interrupted by Ann. The latter hurriedly reported Lorenzo’s latest discovery, [Anna, the demon cult people can transverse between these tall trees free. All of them are avoiding our soldiers and heading towards the center. This is bad, when the enemy is inside the trees, grandpa Lorenzo’s array can’t kill them because they immediately teleport from one tree to another. Cutting down the forest is not an option. The trees are resilient, they instantly regenerate and recover after being cut or burnt.]
