Chapter 491: Compromise
Date- 29 Mar 2321
Time- 13:06
Location- Sky Blossom City, A-rank Ogre Field gate dungeon.
"Uurah!" A half dozen C-rank Ogres led by a B-rank Ogre noticed our group and let out a war cry as they rushed towards us.
"I want to drink blood straight from the tap!" Bloodette's tantrum had not ended yet. Seeing the incoming tanks of blood, her tantrum grew louder.
"Fine, you win. Every group of ogre we meet, you take half of them, and I will take the other half." Cortney finally gave into Bloodette's tantrum as she did not want to waste time bickering with Bloodette.
"Really? then what about the contract?" Seeing Cortney compromise, Bloodette showed a little conscious and asked Cortney how she would meet the quota required for the contract.
" I will raid this dungeon twice or thrice to meet the contract quota, so don't worry and enjoy your meal." Cortney decided to raid the A-rank Ogre field dungeon as many times as required to meet the number of Blood spirit cards quoted in the contract.
"Yea! That means more tap blood for me." Bloodette rejoiced hearing Cortney planned to raid the Ogre field a few more times.
As Bloodette and Cortney reached a cooperation, The 6 C-rank Ogres and the leader B-rank Ogre had come within 20 meters range of Cortney. Taking care of Bloodette she turned to deal with the incoming bags of wealth," Blood Spirit Sanctuary."
"Blood Quagmire," the unfortunate gang of Ogres, were caught in the blood pool, stuck and unable to move forward.
"Uurah!" The B-rank Ogre seemed to have little wisdom. Seeing that his legs were stuck, he instructed his subordinates to throw the stone clubs they carried aiming at our group. Interestingly the B-rank Ogre was smart enough not to throw his only weapon and only let his subordinates throw theirs.
*Whoosh* our group dodged the incoming stone clubs effortlessly. After all, everyone in the group could easily take on a dozen A-rank monsters, not to mention avoiding a few attacks from C-rank Ogres.
"Uurah Uurah" witnessing the strength of the group, the trapped B-rank Ogre knew it was not a match of its opponents and their trickery, so it started to howl, calling for reinforcement.
"Will you guys shut them up already. I am unable to bear the noise." The Ogre's howl was too unpleasant to listen to, so I asked Cortney and Bloodette to shut them up already.
"Sorry, my bad. 'Swallow.' " Bloodette activated another skill of hers. Soon blood tentacles extended out of the blood pool binding the limbs and mouth of the ogres.
"I will take the B-rank and two C-rank Ogres." Saying that Bloodette wrapped the B-rank and two C-rank Ogres into blood coc.o.o.ns, leaving 4 C-rank Ogres for Cortney as ingredients to create blood spirit.
"" Cortney let Bloodette be and walked towards the 4 Ogres to kill and sacrificed them.
*Slurp* The pseudopod face of Bloodette extended towards the three coc.o.o.ns. Under her instruction, one by one, the coc.o.o.ns joined to form a ball of blood as the bones and flesh of the ogres squeezed out of them. Then the fresh blood flooded into the Bloodette's mouth.
"That was satisfying." Said Bloodette looking at Cortney, who had successfully raised the Ogres as blood spirits and was preparing for the Blood ritual.
"Cortney, a moment. Could you leave a blood spirit for me to test my rune on it?" I interrupted Cortney as she prepared to conduct the blood ritual.
"Sure. Sorry, I was so overwhelmed with the new gains that I forgot you were also here to test your rune." Cortney asked me to forgive her for hogging all the monsters for herself.
"Thank you for understanding, and there is no need for you to apologize for such little things." It was great that Cortney did not mind me using my rune on one of her blood spirits.
"Okay, then. I will leave this one for you and turn others into cards." Saying that, Cortney started the blood ritual and morphed the other three Ogre blood spirits into cards.
I walked to the Ogre blood spirit left behind by Cortney for me, and then conjuring my ultra rune, I applied it on the Ogre Blood spirit. Previously I used my calamity daughter gem as a medium to use ultra rune on Bloodette's blood avatar because I did not have any origin core on me. But right now, I have origin cores, so I decided to conduct the blood sacrifice and blood ritual like I usually am supposed to.
After I successfully blood sacrificed the Ogre Blood spirit to my Fate plunder ultra rune, I extracted the blood rune from the remains of the blood spirit, placing it into my grimoire along with a C-rank origin core. I prepared to conduct the blood ritual to turn the plundered blood rune into a card. Once the blood rune was inside the origin core, I formed the origin core into the card
[Blood ritual successful!]

Restriction: The active range of the card is limited to C-rank.]
As expected, once again, my ultra rune did not plunder the abilities of the blood spirit, but it plundered the original method used to create the Blood spirit. The results were similar to the experiment I had conducted on Bloodette's blood avatar. But this time, I was not disappointed with the results as I aimed for the ability to create blood spirit, and that's what the Blood spirit card is. I had other arrangements for this ability.
