YM778.TV Chapter 1027 Loot
Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sun blossom city, Circle’s Branch Headquarters
Ji Feng was the most capable of all my calamity daughter gems so it was sad that I had to part ways with him this early. But I could not think of any other effective method to catch Mike off guard. Mike was not only overpowered with his origin card and platinum grimoire but also very cautious by nature. If Ji Feng or I had even shown a hint of action worth his suspicion, he would not have gone through with his plan and would have rather tried to think of a way less risky one. Therefore, despite Ji Feng’s usefulness, I had to sacrifice him in exchange for capturing Mike.
Ji Feng was a reliable array master and a capable card creationist. Not to mention a Card lord on the verge of breaking through to the Card Overlord realm. With the help of my calamity gem, a platinum grimoire, and some concentrated sliver of milk powder he would have been able to break through to the card overlord realm. As much as I would have liked him to break through to the card overlord realm before the fight, it would have been against the rules of a third-rate city and enough reason for Circle to turn up a political shitstorm.
Besides his realm, his status as a disciple of the Yin-yang harmony sect alone made him special compared to other calamity gems of mine. But with his recent action against the Circle and the interest of the Yin-yang harmony sect, his identity as a disciple of the yin-yang harmony sect had become more of a liability than an asset. So when faced with the predicament of scarifying Ji Feng to capture Mike, I did hesitate but not a lot.
*Boom*
After the explosion, I located Mike in the cloud of dust using my soul pupils, not waiting for the dust to settle I immediately rushed toward Mike chanting, “A-rank Item card, Corpse Wood Stake”
Soon an ugly 30cm long wooden stake appeared in my hand and then nearing the immobile body of Mike, I plunged the wooden stake through his heart with all my might. The wooden stake passed through Mike’s chest and came out his back sticking into the ground below him. The blood did not rush out of Mike’s mortal wound instead it was absorbed by the corpse wood stake.
As the corpse wood stake passed through his heart Mike groaned in pain, his eyes opened wide, if not for him missing his tongue and lower jaw he would have let out more than a grunt as a wooden stake passed through his chest and then his heart.
Mike wanted to struggle but he felt he could not move his soul energy, so he immediately tried to deduce what was wrong with him and figured out that it was because of the obstruction by the wooden stake sticking through his heart. Knowing this he grew desperate. With no soul energy to struggle or a lower jaw and a tongue to scream, Mike felt like he was trapped in his own body.
With the circulation of the soul energy being interrupted in his body, Mike returned to his human form unable to muster even the minimum soul energy to maintain his demon form. With that, his lower jaw and tongue stopped regrowing. Then his army of bone dragon clones vanished and Diana who had turned into a cat monster by him also morphed back into her original form, as there was no supply of soul energy for the bone dragon clones and the curse on Diana to continue to exist. The battle had finally come to an end with the sacrifice of Ji Feng.
“A-rank item card, Corpse wood coffin,” Not caring for Mike’s desperation I summoned an ugly wooden coffin and moved immobilized Mike into it. Sealing the coffin shut with Mike in it I unsummoned the coffin, returning it to its card.
With this, my reason to visit Sun Blossom city had come to an end. So I immediately used my grimoire to order my calamity daughters gems, Diana, and Cindy to no longer waste time here and return to the sky blossom city.
Thanks to the scavenging team that I had assigned earlier we did not have to worry about leaving behind any loot because of our hurried retreat. As they not only collected the grimoires of the dead circle members but also successfully raided the treasure vault of the circle with few casualties. Considering the loot, the casualties were negligible. Following my orders, my forces began to return to the carrier floater vessels and began the retreat.
As for me, making use of the cloud of dust that was yet to settle, I chanted, “B-rank Skill card, 100 Clone escape.”
With my chant, a total of 103 clones of mine escaped in various directions. Out of 103 clones, 100 were the regular B-rank clones while the other three were the calamity daughter clones created using my three slave consciousnesses. And one of these calamity daughter clones was carrying my calamity soul gem. Was I being too cautious and going overboard? No, if anything my preparations to escape from here was not enough. what made me think I need to escape even though I won the battle?
There was a good reason behind why I was doing this and that was none other than the Supreme leader of the circle and his secret. Like me, the supreme leader also coveted Mike’s origin card. Now that I had stolen something he valued I could forget escaping from the sun blossom city with my life. And I was not wrong to think this,
“HOW DARE YOU!!!”
A dominating shout thundered throughout the sky of the sun blossom city, and then three figures suddenly appeared right where I captured Mike and began to capture my escaping clones. But before they could complete their action, three other figures suddenly appeared opposite to them and interrupted them. Coincidently all six of them were in the semi-demigod realm.
“Circle’s balls seem to have grown larger…”
