Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234
"Hybrid runes are runes formed using two or more meanings of the same or different rules. Forging this kind of rune requires a very high mastery of the specific rules and meanings involved. Here you are using various meanings as ingredients to forge one rune. To achieve such a feat, one has to master the meanings of rules used as ingredients at the tip of their fingers. Such precision can only come with high-level mastery.
Therefore despite its power, not many have forged hybrid runes successfully. I myself have only forged one hybrid rune, and it has made me invincible among my peers and older generation." Anna explained what a hybrid rune is, how powerful and coveted it is, and how hard it is to forge.
"To be able to treat rules and their meanings as ingredients and forge something powerful and coveted. Quite an exciting pitch you are selling. But don\'t forget to tell him what happens if he fails." Luna reminds Anna not to stop at the half-truth but to continue and address the problem with forging hybrid runes.
"What happens if a card apprentice fails when trying to forge a hybrid rune?" I asked with my left eyebrow raised.
"Anna, go ahead tell him." Luna encouraged Anna sarcastically.
"… If you fail when trying to forge a hybrid rune, then the meanings that you tried to combine to form the hybrid rune will have an explosion between themselves trying to repel each other. The explosion sometimes will be strong enough to kill you by detonating your ego gem, but if you are lucky, the explosion will be small, leaving a few cracks on your ego gem." Anna\'s voice did not sound as excited as when she introduced me to the hybrid runes.
"Only maniacs will try to experiment with hybrid runes. Forging hybrid runes has nothing to do with the synchronization rate of an ego gem. A high synchronization rate only means you comprehend more meanings than others does not guarantee in any way that you will successfully forge a hybrid rune.
Cus, you were dumb enough to try forging a hybrid rune and were lucky enough to succeed in your foolishness. Proving that God takes care of fools and drunkards. But Wyatt is neither, so I think you should not advise him into forging hybrid runes." Luna further explained that forging hybrid runes has nothing to do with the synchronization rate of an ego gem, contrary to Anna when she claimed that due to my high synchronization rate, hybrid runes would be my playground.
"You are done for." With that, Anna shoved Luna to lay flat with her belly on the couch as she sat on top of her back. Luna gave up struggling long ago because she knew her struggling made it more fun for Anna.
"For your information, my porky mouthed cousin, I did not forge the hybrid runes just because I wanted to, but when the mastery of a few of my rule meanings reached their peak, I felt a faint connection between a few of the meanings as if they would get along. Following that feeling, I forged my hybrid rune.
So me forging my hybrid rune wasn\'t just dumb luck but a given. I think when the mastery of your meanings is high enough and you have corresponding compatible meanings, then you can easily forge a hybrid rune. This compatibility between two meanings is hard to come by unless you are lucky or have a very high synchronization rate." Anna explained how her forging her hybrid rune was not just dumb luck and stood firm on her words that a high synchronization rate does help when forging hybrid runes.
"So, in the end, it was your luck that helped you forge your hybrid rune." Luna\'s porky mouth was her enemy, which she did not seem to realize or just did give a rat\'s ass about it.
"See, there are lots of other stuff that will require your attention as you progress, so don\'t waste your time at the starting point researching a mutation that happens naturally." Anna ignored Luna and advised me not to waste my time researching rule affinity.
"Anna, I will keep your advice in mind." I appreciated Anna\'s advice and her concern for me.
"So you are going to forge hybrid runes? Your funeral. Don\'t say I did not warn you." Luna seemed to think me taking Anna\'s advice meant ignoring her advice and got a little offended.
"As far as forging hybrid runes go, let\'s put a pin on that for now. I have barely mastered a single meaning and am yet to forge my first rune. Forging hybrid runes is still a long way down the road." I had yet to forge a normal rune. I was way too inexperienced and unprepared to think about forging a hybrid rune.
"Okay, I am cool." Seeing me explain myself, Luna acted aloof.
"Anyways, you two, thank you for your guidance. I will remember them while forging my very first rune." Shaking my head at Luna\'s aloof response, I thanked the two cousins for their guidance.
"No problem. If you really want to thank me, you know what I want. Bring that ass over here." Anna yelled and cheered like a hoodlum, starting at my behind with a passionate gaze.
"And just when I thought you seemed kinda dependable, you had to ruin it with your dose of sexual harassment. You can\'t help yourself, can you?" I have noticed that these two cousins are creatures of habit and do not seem to realize that. One is a porky mouth, and the other one is a hoodlum.
Seeing that it was already late, after thanking Anna and Luna for their guidance on rune forging once again, I decided to head to the rendezvous point that Van and I had agreed upon.. Outside the warehouse, Cortney and I summoned our hoverbikes and headed towards the blood rock cave.
