It had been five hours since the dungeon seal unleashed its wrath on Bloodette. It did not seem to stop anytime soon. unable to handle the pain Bloodette lost consciousness 3 hours ago. Even though she was unconscious her body kept squirming and trembling in pain. Wyatt was shocked by the dungeon seal's prowess. He wondered if it was planning on killing her.

Just as this thought crossed Wyatt's mind, he felt Bloodette's energy signature sharply decrease by a major realm. Despite seriously injuring Bloodette to such an extent, the dungeon seal did not stop but continued to attack her mercilessly. From the looks of it, it appears as if the dungeon seal did not plan on stopping until it reduced Bloodette to the card student realm. That was until she was barely alive. Knowing that she could not killed until there was blood rule in the card world.

It appears as if the Dungeon seal was programmed to descend punishment on Bloodette when she reaches a specific realm. This condition seemed to have been satisfied when she called upon the power of the Blood Rule River into her body. The reason behind this was that to stop Bloodette from ever being able to cultivate the realm required to possess the power to break the dungeon seal imprisoning her to this dungeon.

The dungeon seal was able to intact despite its age mostly because of this ruthless cycle. It was using Bloodette as its battery to charge and maintain itself. The blood rule was dominant in this dungeon because it wanted to help Bloodette cultivate. As Bloodette cultivated with the blood rule power similarly the dungeon seal used the blood rule power she brought to charge and maintain itself.

As Blood Supreme of the card world, Bloodette would never be short of blood rule. Yet her realm continued progressing at a snail's pace for someone of her caliber. This was because the dungeon was leeching off her. Whoever it was that designed this dungeon must have hated Bloodette to put her through this cycle of never-ending misery.

*Sigh* Wyatt shook his head as he retracted his soul pupils after inspecting the dungeon seal. The only positive thing he could say about this situation was Blood Rule River's love for Bloodette. For Bloodette it turned a gate dungeon into the holy place of blood rule.

The worst thing about this whole arrangement was that Bloodette was the core of this dungeon seal. The dungeon seal was a prison and curse at the same time. The only way she could escape it was by killing herself and with was not possible as the Card World's blood rule would never allow it.

In this dark situation, Cortney was the only hope for Bloodette. Not because they were friends but because of the innate rune blood supreme that she had gained after forging her mutant ego gem.

From the looks of it, the Blood Rule must have gifted Cortney the Innate Rule 'Blood Supreme' to help Bloodette. The innate rune Cortney gained, was specifically designed by the blood rule to help Bloodette with her current situation. Thanks to the innate rune Bloodette no longer was limited by the dungeon seal to a certain extent.

By staying inside the innate realm, Bloodette was not only able to go outside to get the fresh air and meet the world outside but to cultivate outside of the dungeon seal. As the core of the dungeon seal, whatever Bloodette cultivated would autonomously be shared between her and the dungeon seal but the percentage of the share favors Bloodette when she was cultivating outside of the dungeon seal.

Such that, for a change, Bloodette will be able to grow faster than the dungeon seal. This way Bloodette will be able to grow to her peak before the Dungeon seal recharges enough to withstand the struggle of the original Blood Supreme. Giving her a shot at breaking through the imprisonment of the dungeon gate.

However, the blood rule's efforts have been in vain so far. It went to such an extent to help Bloodette but did she do? She was busy using this opportunity created by it to enjoy her newfound freedom. Playing with the orphans from Cortney's orphanage. Instead of focusing on regaining her strength and breaking free of the Dungeon seal.

The fault didn't entirely lie on Bloodette as she was not aware of the Blood Rule's plan. With her current spirituality, she was similar to a child. That was why she could get along with the orphans from the orphanage. Without the Blood Rule telling her it would be impossible for her to figure out the real reason why Cortney gained the innate rune 'Blood Supreme.

Bloodette's spirituality was not the only reason, the other reason was because when inside the innate rune of Cortney, Bloodette would have to use the senses shared by Cortney to practice the blood rule. Meaning, that inside Cortney's innate rune, Bloodette's affinity to Blood Rule was reduced to Cortney's affinity to Blood Rule.

This was why Bloodette prepared to cultivate her blood rule mastery within the dungeon seal and Cortney also preferred to cultivate her blood rule inside the duplicate innate rune created by Bloodette. Where her affinity to the blood rule would be boosted to match that of the Bloodette's blood rule affinity. Allowing her to comprehend blood rule meanings to ultimate mastery in considerably less time compared to had she done the same with her original blood rule affinity.

However, what Bloodette failed to see was that regardless of how easy it was to cultivate blood rule mastery in the dungeon seal considering the huge percentage of blood rule energy she shared with the dungeon seal she would never be able to ever overpower the dungeon seal.

Inside Cortney's innate blood rune, even though cultivating blood rule was much slower compared to in the blood seal. The percentage of blood rule energy she shared with the dungeon seal was very little. Meaning, that if Bloodette had chosen to cultivate in Cortney's innate blood rune then even though slow over time her realm would have overtaken that of the dungeon seal. Allowing her to break free from the imprisonment of the dungeon seal.

The Blood Rule's plan was almost perfect but it failed to consider that Bloodette's mind was not mature enough to notice what it was doing and even if she knew the opportunity Blood Rule had created for her, Bloodette who was used to cultivating at the speed of Bullet train would never have the patience to cultivate at the speed of a basic steam train.

This was where Cortney came in, the only reason Blood Rule would trust Cortney, to begin with, was because of her physique and origin card. It believed that Cortney would keep her promise to help Bloodette free herself from the imprisonment of the dungeon seal. However, just like Bloodette Cortney too had no idea of what the original purpose of her innate blood rune 'Blood Supreme was.

Had she known, she would have definitely advised Bloodette to cultivate inside her innate blood rune. Even if she were not to care, her physique and origin card would force her to force Bloodette into cultivating in the innate blood rune instead of the dungeon seal.

This was the reason why the Blood Rule was going out of its way to help Bloodette find Cortney. However, it once again underestimated Bloodette. In the worry for her missing friend and fear of not doing enough to find her, she attacked the dungeon seal relentlessly like a buffoon but never once stopped to do the only thing that would actually help her. All she needed was to ask where was Cortney and she would have the answers she needed provided to her by the blood rule. Just like how the blood rule helped her uncover the ident.i.ty of Wyatt who was in disguise.

The reason Blood Rule was able to tell Wyatt's ident.i.ty even though he had used Myraid Devil Transformation to disguise himself as a middle-aged card master was through the blood runes in him.

In a way, Wyatt's transformation was not complete, as he chose not to morph his calamity soul gem. He did not because he needed its abilities and also because if he were to completely morph himself into another person his consciousness would struggle to maintain its current persona and individuality as it would conflict with the persona and individuality of the person he had morphed into. Even if Wyatt morphed only a part of his calamity soul gem without in its center where his ethereal spirit was located the blood rule would still manage to tell him apart as it was not seeing from the physical plane put from the spiritual plane through the spiritual channel connecting his calamity soul gem to the spiritual plane

Had Wyatt morphed his calamity soul gem completely or chosen to close the spiritual channel then Blood Rule would never been able to tell him apart. But in Wyatt's defense, he had no idea that he would be facing the Blood Rule.
