“Why the hell is it taking you so long to open the boy’s grimoire?” Karl yelled at the semi-demigod in charge of the sun blossom incident.
Being yelled at by the supreme leader, the semi-demigod stood still with his head down in silence. He knew his silence would only make things worse by enraging the enraged supreme leader even more but he had made his piece with it.
This morning after returning from the sun blossom city having acquired the boy’s grimoire from the allied semi-demigods, the circle’s semi-demigod, tried to replicate the soul energy signature of the from the blood stains on the grimoire using the regular method but after the 8 hours long wait, to his blood did not belong to the boy. Realizing this he did not panic but frowned over the wasted effort and resources however he thanked his preparedness for having collected a few hairs from the boy and his clones when he held them captive. Since it was impossible to tell which one of the clones was the boy’s real body they planned to cast a small soul bewitchment curse using all three hair samples to determine the original body of the boy as the soul bewitchment curse would only affect the original body of the boy that had the a soul and not the clones but it did not come to that.
Now he could use one of these three hair samples to replicate the boy’s soul energy signature and it did not matter which one of these hair samples belonged to the original body of the boy because they all were made from the boy and his soul energy, that was enough to get the job done.
8 hours later, the semi-demigod finally started to panic. Yes, he was able to replicate the boy’s soul signature using the hair samples he had collected but the problem was the grimoire that he believed to be the boy’s grimoire was not the boy’s grimoire. HOw can this happen? He asked the allied semi-demigod to take an oath and everything, yet how were the allied semi-demigods able to dupe him. Now what? He could not go claim a refund from them as this grimoire was not acquired by honest means. What did this mean for him? Something worse than death awaited him. There was no way he could avoid it, it was only a matter of time.
And now, Karl looked at his semi-demigod subordinate who stood in front like a stiff statue unable to answer him, by now if he did not realize something went horribly wrong he might as well give up being the supreme leader.
“What went wrong?” Karl frowned and asked hoping the damage was small enough to be savaged but seeing how his subordinate was not even bothering to beg for mercy and prepared to face what’s to come the odds of the damage being small were less likely.
“The grimoire that we brought does not belong to the boy,” the semi-demigod spoke without emotion as he knew no matter what he did there was no way for him to struggle free from what’s coming.
“What?” hearing his subordinate Karl thundered as the damage was beyond repair. He lost one of his most prized collections.
“Since you have already accepted your fate, I will not delay it but before you leave any last regrets?” Karl summoned his grimoire and asked his subordinates if he had any last unfulfilled desires.
“Please spare my family,” The semi-demigod did not lift his head instead asked the supreme leader to end his wrath with him and not extend it to his family.
“Nonsenses, your family is my family, why would I hurt them, we are one after all,” saying that Karl activated his origin card adding, “I hate that it has to end like this but it was nice knowing a part of me this closely.”
Hearing the supreme leader, the semi-demigod was not surprised by his weird term of phrase, as he was indeed a part of the supreme leader.
As Karl’s origin card activated his semi-demigod subordinate instantly turned into a ball of soul pathways and arrangements, even his grimoire and ego gem had turned into a sequence of soul pathways and arrangements. But the interesting part was that at the center of this ball of soul pathways was a tiny phantom, which looked exactly like Karl himself.
Seeing this Karl let out a sigh saying, “You were one of the capable ones.”
After that he took out a refined common core usually used by card creationists and array masters, then he transferred the floating ball of soul pathways in front of him into the common core and then placed the core containing his semi-demigod subordinate’s soul pathways on the card creation page of his grimoire. Then he excited the soul pathway of the core that morphed it into a card. As the core morphed into a card the tiny phantom of Karl rushed out and merged with Karl’s original soul and the resulting card was a unique grade card with no card ratings or card durability, it was an origin card. And this origin card seemed to belong to the semi-demigod subordinate that Karl had just used as an ingredient to create this card.
Karl did not even bother to go through the origin card info and directly scarified the origin card to his origin card and sighed again muttering to himself, “This card doesn’t even come close to making up for the loss of the Myriad Devil body origin card.”
Then Karl closed his eyes and went through the memories of the subordinate he had just devoured to get the exact overview of the situation. And after a few minutes he opened his eyes and then thought, ‘This incident needs to be covered or at least the part about the disciple of the Yin-Yang harmony sect using the sect’s signature desolate punisher array to slaughter the customers he was hired to protect.’
