”I too hope the same,” Corey agreed with Wyatt. She was putting off deciding the undead devilʼs fate because she sympathized with her for being born from Corey Parkʼs corpse and because Belphegor used her just like how he used Corey Park. But she did not want her sympathy to cloud her judgment and do something she would regret. ”Um,” Wyatt nodded with a little concern seeing Coreyʼs internal struggle. But he proceeded to ask her the real reason why he brought up this topic, ”I kind of promised the Field Marshal that I would arrange a meet between you and her. So that is happening.” The only reason he brought up the undead devil with Corey in the first place was not because of his plans with the undead devil but to keep his promise to Field Marshal. Wyatt had promised the Field Marshal that he would help arrange a meeting between her and Corey that evening a few days before. However, he was stuck in the blood rule source and was unable to keep the promise. But he did ask her to give him some time he will make it happen. ”What? Why would you even do that?” Corey freaked out, here she was doing everything to avoid the Southern Royal Familyʼs trying to persuade her while the person she considered her rival/friend/boss was helping the enemy. ”I thought Little Beam would kill and use you to revive the will of Corey Park thatʼs alive in your demon core as ego flame so I asked the Field Marshal to look out for you—,” midway through Wyattʼs explanation he was interrupted by furious Corey, ”So in return, she asked you to arrange the meet? That bitch!” ”Hiss!” the snake head of the white bangle on Coreyʼs wrist turned to glare at Wyatt and hissed at him in dissatisfaction. ”How dare you cuss my grandma?” Aria who was still mourning the death of the card apprentice that Wyatt killed turned her rage towards Corey who blatantly cussed the hero of the south. Since she knew she could not do anything to Wyatt. ”No offense little Beam, you guarded her corpse for centuries thatʼs creep. So, you cannot blame me for assuming the worst,” Wyatt defended himself to the white snake. Meanwhile, Corey and Aria were standing neck to neck ready to kill each other. ”The Field Marshal is your grandma? I will call her a bitch again! What are you going to do about it you little bitch?” Corey snapped at Aria learning that she was related to the Southern Royal family. Seeing them fight over nothing, Wyatt was irritated and warned them, ”Aria, Corey, shut the fuck! Or I will help you guys shut up.” Then, he mumbled, ”Man, I really hate myself right now for stopping two girl fights in a row.” Shaking it off, Wyatt corrected Coreyʼs misunderstanding, ”No, that is not how it went, when I asked the Field Marshal to keep a watch on you she said it was her duty to protect the citizens of the south. On a different note, she talked to me about how the royal family owed your parents and that your safety was their top priority, feeling her sincerity I promised to arrange a meeting between you two. Besides, now that Field Marshal works for me you have no choice but to get along with her.”

”What do you mean by the Field Marshal works for you?” Both Aria and Corey asked Wyatt in unison. ”You guys will learn about it soon, but first let me handle that ant that tried to bite me despite my generosity,” Wyatt said vanishing from Corey and Ariaʼs side and appearing before the divine barrier protecting Adriene from JJ and Cervosʼs attacks while she healed herself. Feeling Wyattʼs arrival, Adriene focused on him to find him ball his fist to punch the divine barrier. Seeing this Adriene sneered confident in the defense of her inner goddessʼs divine barrier. However, just as Wyattʼs fist was about to clash with the divine barrier, Adriene found that her inner goddess withdrew her divine barrier returning it to its original size to just protect the inner goddess. Adriene was shocked finding that her inner goddess was scared of Wyattʼs attack. All her confidence from earlier shattered was replaced by despair once again. In her shock, Adriene was unable to react to the JJ and Cervosʼs attacks and was blasted off about a quarter mile like a doll hit by a train. Fortunately for her, their attacks missed her vital points though they did a huge number on her. Luckily having managed to make a distance between herself and her assaulters, Adriene did not use it to her advantage but just stood there in shock. JJ and Cervos rushed at her with their fastest speed preparing their strongest attacks to delete her from the face of this world but Adriene did not react and just stood there like a puppet with broken strings. The one thing Adriene could count on in her whole life no matter what, her inner goddess, just abandoned her. She would not have been so devastated if the divine barrier failed to withstand Wyattʼs attack however seeing how her inner goddess chose to protect herself and abandon her, Adriene was hit hard. Her whole will to fight and live another day collapsed let alone avenge her dead sisters. 

However, in the face of her impending death, as JJ and Cervos neared her, Adrieneʼs most precious memories flashed before her eyes. Especially, the day the Southern Ruler took on the whole world for her. Going through these memories Adriene had an enlightenment and yelled, ”Not today!” as a flame engulfed and vanished leaving nothing but smoke behind as JJ and Cervosʼs attack landed on it. With their target out of sight, JJ and Cervos searched for Adriene to find a flame that appeared a mile from their location taking the form of Adriene. They understood that she had used the fire ruleʼs flicker meaning to teleport to safety.
