Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sun blossom city, Sewers
“How sure are you about your findings?” Gray fur asked his team member who used this ability to trace the boy to the sewers—feeling that the teammate’s findings may not have been that accurate, because the result they got was not as he promised. Therefore Gray fur could not help but feel that they were being led on a wild goose chase.
“I am sure of it, the boy is within this sewer somewhere. He used some tricks to fool the Circle’s semi-demigods and now, he is using the same trick to hide from us,” Gray Fur’s teammate was quite confident about his abilities when it came to soul energy signature tracing.
“Buddy, I hate to say this but there is nobody here. Maybe you made some mistake in the calculations while tracing the boy’s soul energy signature,” Sniper, as a marksman had a very keen perception of his surroundings, and his range was very wide. Yet, he was not able to feel the presence of any other living being within the city sewers, not even a sewer rat. That was given considering that a semi-demigod presence was felt here a few minutes ago. Any wild monster would be too scared to even consider roaming anywhere near this area.
“No, I did not make any mistake. That boy is here. There are two possibilities as to why we are not able to find the boy here.
First, he teleported knowing that somebody was tracing his whereabouts.
Second, he is using some cards to hide his presence. That he used it back in the VIP room of the card stadium to fake his death, and now he has used the same card to not only fool the Circle’s semi-demigods but also hide from us.
The former is impossible considering that he was right here after the city’s space isolation barrier array’s rank was increased to SSS rank. Leaving us with the latter, the boy is hiding somewhere in these sewer tunnels.
Guys, trust me on this one. Have I ever let you guys down when it comes to soul energy tracing?” Gray Fur’s teammate explained seeing his teammates start to doubt his findings.
“No, you have always been right about these kinds of stuff,” Gray Fur said and others nodded in agreement as their teammate’s records spoke for him. Giving them a strong reason to trust what he was saying. So codename Sniper added, “Since you believe the boy is hiding in these sewer tunnels, why don’t we destroy them? This way either he will die with the destruction of the tunnels or will flush to the surface for safety.”
“That’s an idea but it has the risk of revealing our presence to the two other forces,” Gray Fur immediately denied Sniper’s idea and then said, “I will inform the semi-demigods not to act to help the Circle’s semi-demigods to retreat. Since we will need them to distract the allied semi-demigods while we find the boy.”
“While you are at it, why don’t you ask them to come to help us find the boy here,” The Flower Thief said feeling that another dozen pairs of eyes would get the job done a lot faster.
“That is not possible, because the closer they are to the other two factions of semi-demigods, the higher risk of them being discovered by them. But I will ask them to keep an in the outskirt of the city,” Gray Fur made the following arrangements feeling that if he were in the boy’s shoes he would do his best to get back to the sky blossom city. Therefore, he decided to have a dozen semi-demigods that Matron sent for their assistance monitor the city outskirts for the boy in case he manages to trick them and leave the city.
“That’s a good idea,” the other teammates nodded in appreciation of Gray Fur’s judgment.
“We know that the boy is within the walls of these tunnels. Now, how do we find him?” Flower thief asked trying to figure out their next course of action. With the Circle’s Semi-demigods keeping the allied semi-demigods protecting the boy busy they were free to hunt him down. They knew where to start and now they need to figure out how?
“If had a few more of those B-rank clones of the boy with me right now, I could kill them to locate him using the soul energy that transmits the news of the death of his clones to him. Too bad you guys killed them all,” Gray Fur’s teammate said remaining the rest of them that if they had not killed all the B-rank clones of the boy, they could have used the same method they used to trace the boy to these tunnels to pinpoint the exact location of the boy in here.
“There is no point in crying over the spilled milk, think of something else,” Gray Fur said trying to maintain the morale of the team but it was no help, so he added, “Come on people, our opponent is a card soldier for god sake, be it experience or strength we better than the boy. So let us not be outsmarted by the boy for the second time.”
Gray fur always felt that shaming people served as a better motivator than encouraging words. So he did not mind shaming himself and his team to help them keep their sight on the goal here.
Even Sniper who was not big on using his brain thought hard, as a card emperor he felt ashamed for being tricked by a card soldier. And he did not want that to repeat itself. So he could not help but give serious thought to how to get the boy out of his hiding without alerting the other two factions of their presence in the city.
“Though we cannot destroy the sewer tunnels, how about gassing the tunnels with some high-grade poison? Unless the boy wants to die of poisoning he will have no choice but to show himself.”
