YM778.TV Chapter 1025 Bait?
Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sun blossom city, Circle’s Branch Headquarters
In the silent auction, I came across many exciting cards, two of which were the Corpse wood stake and the Corpse wood coffin. I specifically bring these two up because I was going to use them to capture Mike. As much as I want to use my blood fate plunder rune on Mike immediately, I had to control myself. As there were too many eyes watching. So it would be in my best interest if I were to capture Mike for now and use him as a blood sacrifice in the blood fate plunder rune’s blood ritual when I have my privacy.
I had to do this knowing that the Blood Fate plunder rule meanings would not be well received by the card apprentice community. They had no qualms about Blood Elixer or hematophagy meaning of the blood rule but Blood fate plunder, and Bloodline possession were frowned upon. As the former two even though could be used against other card apprentices had a limit to how much they can influence a card apprentice’s strength but the latter two broke the norms, these meanings were so influential that they could turn a card apprentice crazy over unimaginable power and prolonged life. So it was not a surprise the card apprentice society could tolerate meanings such as Blood forge and Blood Elixer would frown at rule meanings such as Blood fate plunder.
As I was contemplating why it would be best for me to not use blood fate plunder on Mike Immediately, Mike had begun to make his move seeing that Ji Feng was completely open and defenselessly fighting the bone dragon clones.
…
After Mike reported his suspicions regarding Ji Feng’s betrayal to the main headquarters. He and the three semi-demigods that had come to help him were ordered to stand down. And await further orders. Therefore despite an overwhelming advantage in the fight against the boy Mike chose to hold back for two reasons.
The first was the orders from the main branch. And second, was the fact that semi-demigods were watching their fight and had no qualms about stepping in to save the boy. So in this pointless battle, Mike did not bother to go all out and continued to entertain the boy but to his surprise, he proved to be more than what met the eye. To his astonishment, the boy’s physique seemed to have broken the limits of his realm and reached the peak a gold grimoire holder could achieve. That was frightening as it meant that if not for the golden grimoire limiting the boy’s physique then it would have been a lot stronger, maybe enough to overpower him without much effort.
Despite being limited by the bounds of his grimoire the boy had managed to stand on equal footing with him, therefore Mike could not help but applaud the boy acknowledging his strength. As much as Mike would love to nip this future trouble in the bud. He was bound by the orders from the main branch not to take action as having him kill the boy could be a conspiracy plotted by a third unknown organization. Though most of the details were unknown Mike chose to play around with the boy keeping the bigger picture in mind.
Soon, new orders from the main branch came asking them to retreat and give up the sun blossom branch. Though Mike was not happy with the orders he understood why, as the possibility of the circle being conspired against by an unknown organization was very likely, and all the circumstantial evidence pointed towards Matron and the paw clan. The main branch did not want to jump to conclusions and give the paw clan benefit of the doubt considering their decades-long alliance.
Therefore, he was given one more important mission before retreating: to capture Ji Feng, who was in the middle of all of this and seemed to the thread that, when pulled on, would unravel the entire web of mystery.
Having received his orders, Mike immediately made use of an explosion to switch places with a clone.
“Skill combo: S-Rank Demon Clone + Origin card Myriad devil’s hex, Absolute Replica”
“Myriad devil transformation, pebble body”
MIke’s skill combo Absolute Replica was one of the most advanced and proficient clone art. It not only allowed the clone to have the same soul pathways, arrangement and vibrations but it also allowed the clone to possess all his abilities and similar strength though the intelligence was questionable it was enough to pass as an original.
Having the Absolute replica take his place, Mike transformed into a pebble and once again neared Ji Feng but this time he did not dare to be unscrupulous as the last time. As he knew that Ji Feng seemed to see through his disguise. Therefore, keeping a distance from Ji Feng he monitored Ji Feng like a praying mantis waiting to strike when its prey was least expecting.
Soon Mike’s patience bore fruit, Ji Feng seemed to be completely occupied trying to fend off his skeleton dragon clone army, leaving his stance completely vulnerable to sneak attacks. The Skeleton Dragon clones were strong but they were still brainless undead, they had no concept of sneak attacks. So it was not surprising that when under a bind Ji Feng would focus on killing the skeleton dragon clones leaving himself completely open to sneak attacks.
This was a big mistake on Ji Feng’s part and Mike had no qualms about taking advantage of it to capture him and retreat following the orders from the main branch.
“Origin card, Myriad devil transformation – Colossal mouthed frog monster,”
With the chant, pebble-bodied Mike transformed into a foot-tall 4-pound frog. Based on its appearance, the frog monster appeared to be no different from a regular fat frog. But its mouth suddenly expanded about 30 meters wide and opened to engulf Ji Feng, the skeleton dragons surrounding him and the ground below them in one gulp.
