Chapter 1611 Blood Rule Explosion

Date- 13 April 2321

Time- 11:45

Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City, Dungeon Highway, Barren Lands, TSR guild headquarters / Blood Rock cave gate dungeon.

Once where for miles there was nothing but wasteland, now stood half a dozen majestic towering buildings surrounded by fancy infrastructures. If people did not know any better they would think the city was expanding but that wasnʼt the case. This was not the result of the cityʼs expansion plan but the expansion plan of the Tyrant Sun Raven Guild and the Fine Gold Merchants. They have shifted their main headquarters and office to the barren lands of the dungeon highway at the orders of their young leader Dalton Wyatt.

Interestingly the core tower was not occupied by the Fine Gold or Wyattʼs card boutique but by the small unknown adventure guild, Tyrant Sun Raven guild. This has always been a topic of gossip for the citizens of the Sky Blossom city.

Some believed the TSR guild could occupy the center tower instead of Fine Gold because it was the first business acquired by Dalton Wyatt and since Wyattʼs card boutique was too small to occupy an entire tower.

Some believed that the TSR guild was guarding something inside the huge vault of the Central Towerʼs basement. Regardless of the rumors and gossip, no one knew why the TSR adventure guild was given the central tower instead of Fine Gold or Fine Gold Guards.

Inside the basement vault of the central tower, numerous artifacts that told the history of the card apprentice were on display securely masking the hidden entrance to a gate dungeon, the Blood Rock cave gate dungeon.

Sarah George could be seen entering and leaving the gate dungeon multiple times a day without sparing a single glance at the artifacts worth millions but one artifact among them all would catch her attention every time she passed by it, it was a plaque that read, ʼkeep clam and ignore.ʼ This artifact had nothing special, some experts would even question if it was an artifact in the first place but for some reason, Sarah could stare at it an entire day without blinking.

As usual, while making her trip to the gate dungeon Sarah paused by the plaque, suddenly the plaque shone and morphed into an orb which then morphed into a fully grown human teenager. Seeing the figure, Sarah immediately got down on one knee, and bowing her head she said, ”Welcome, Master.”

Throwing on a fresh set of clothes, Wyatt looked at his surroundings and asked Sarah, ”Where is this?”

”Master, you are at the basement of the TSR guildʼs new headquarters in the barren lands,” Sarah immediately replied.

”So everything is going according to the plan?” Wyatt asked, understanding that Van George placed the morphed pseudo calamity soul gem he gave to him in a vault among other valuable artifacts.

”Yes, master. I was just headed to give Bloodette the promised monster blood,” Sarah informed.

”How are our reserves of blood rule pills?” Wyatt asked as he signaled Sarah to lead him to Bloodette.

”We have enough stocks to start selling blood rule in the market, Master,” Sarah reported sharing the records of Blood rule pills she had recorded to Wyattʼs grimoire.

”No, cancel all plans of selling the blood rule. Use them to recruit capable members with ego gems,” Thanks to the VR universe Wyatt was no longer short on cash to do small and risky transactions such as selling blood rule pills instead it would be cost-effective for him to use the blood rule pills to recruit capable members.

Wyatt planned to start recruiting members to build his faction once he moved to the central academic city after all, all the talents of the world gathered there. However, fate had other plans, and seeing the circumstances of the Freedom Fighters he decided to no longer delay his plan for anyone.

There were two reasons why wanted to go to the central academic city by joining Morningstar university, the first was to explore the card world and what innovations they had to offer and the second one was to start building his faction. He could do that in the Southern Capital but the people there had too much loyalty toward the Southern royal family so it was not an ideal place for him to start building his faction. Especially since one of the reasons he was building his faction was the Southern Royal family.

Either way, he had to start somewhere. After his central academic region plan failed, Wyatt planned to swallow the Freedom Fighters as his faction but thanks to Luna and Ned it was on hold for now. As of now, he was willing to take anyone because he could control the power and the loyalty of a card apprentice but not time. He needed time to grow his faction into something that could take on the whole world. With every passing second he could see a future where the whole world would be against him just as it was against Freedom Fighters today, Wyatt knew better than to underestimate a personʼs greed.

”Yes, master,” Sarah agreed to Wyattʼs command without any hesitation or concern.

”Um, ask Diana and Cindy to meet me at the lunch. Tell them to forward me all the project progress reports. Especially the card creation talent recruitment program,” Apart from time there was one other thing that he could not give to the card apprentice and that was talent. This was why he chose the central academic city which was considered a hub of talents as the ideal place for him to start building his faction.

”Yes, master,” Sarah nodded as she opened the hidden door revealing the Blood Rock cave gate dungeon.

Wyatt stepped into the gate dungeon and Sarah followed behind him. Arriving at the tunnel with blood rule rock walls, Wyatt saw the figure of Bloodette.

”Wyatt—” Bloodette seemed to want to say something but immediately closed her mouth. Her eyes suddenly shone brighter as she mechanically dashed at Wyatt. Feeling something was wrong Wyatt immediately used his soul pupil on her to find that her blood rule body was about to explode.

”Fuck!” There wasnʼt enough time for Wyatt to rush out of the dungeon gate so he pushed Sarah out of the dungeon gate and used his body to stop the explosion from rushing out through the dungeon gate.

Both Bloodette and Wyattʼs bodies vapourised in the explosion. As for Sarah who was pushed out of the gate dungeon by Wyatt, she was safe except for some first-degree burns. If she had not used her charcoal body transformation in a timely fashion and Wyatt had not used his body to close the gate and obstruct the blast, she might have suffered heavier damage. But because of the Calamity Daughter Gemʼs reconstruction skill, she recovered instantly.
