"Wait for it…" just as I utter these words, the puddle of blood rule left after the death of Bloodette's blood avatar shone brightly, and a card floated out of it and headed towards me. 

After the calamity daughter gem devoured blood avatar's soul energy, the blood avatar perished, meeting all the requirements of the fate plunder ultra rune. The corpse of the blood avatar was used for blood sacrifice by the copy of fate plunder rune in the calamity daughter gem. Upon sacrifice, the puddle of blood rule on the ground shone brightly as its essence entered the calamity daughter gem to fuse with the 'fate plunder' ultra rune and turn it into an ability rune copied from Bloodette's blood avatar. Fate plunder ultra rune's blood sacrifice was complete. Next, I morphed the calamity daughter gem into a card to complete the blood ritual. 

"Rune skill card: Blood avatar" taking the card, I read the card's name out loud. Learning the name of the ability stolen by the fate plunder rune, I was disappointed. I was expecting to steal all of Bloodette's skills runes in the blood avatar, but unfortunately, the fate plunder rune stole the only skill I did not want in the blood avatar. 

[Card Name: Blood Avatar

 Card Type: Skill Card (Active)

 Card grade: A-rank, Rare grade

 Card Rating: 6-stars

 Card Effect: The host is able to use blood elemental power or blood rule power to create a Blood Avatar.

 Note: The card doesn't provide blood rule power. ]

Blood elemental power conversation: this ability allows the user to turn soul energy to blood power to create a Blood avatar. 

Reading the card info, my disappointment towards the card grew. It seems me trying to be clever and find a bug in 'Fate Plunder' ultra rune to take advantage of it was all a waste. 

"What is it? Show it to me." Bloodette enthusiastically asked, seeing her blood avatar into a card. 

"Here, I handed the card to Bloodette." The experiment's results were not totally unsatisfactory. I got to know three important facts from this test, 

1. Calamity daughter gem is a suitable replacement of origin core in the blood ritual process of 'Fate Plunder' ultra rune. 

2. The Grade of the card formed corresponds to the realm of the creature sacrificed. 

3. The card durability and star rating of the card created are perfect. 

"Wow, did you just turn my blood avatar into a skill card? Is this the ability of your rune? But why couldn't I feel any movement of your rune?" Reading the card info, Bloodette asked in amazement. 

"Yes, it's the ability of my rune. As for why you could not sense the moment of my rune, I don't know." I answered Bloodette's question one by one patiently. The answer to the last question was untrue as I knew why she could not sense my rune. The shell of the dungeon calamity seed blocked Bloodette from eavesdropping on the activity of the fate plunder rune. 

"..." Bloodette was saddened that she could not get insight into my rune. Gaining insight into my rune was very important to Bloodette as she hoped that by mastering the same meaning as I, I would no longer look delicious to her. Which meant she did not have to act restrained in my presence. 

Just when I was thinking of saying a few words to comfort Bloodette, the bookcase opened, and a dark passage revealed behind it as a feminine figure walked out of it. It was Cortney. It seems she was done comprehending blood rule and forging her first rune. 

"Cortney, what the heck! You reveal our secret base to him. Quick close the passage before others see it." The Bloodette complained. 

"How am I supposed to know that Wyatt is awake from in there? If not for you begging me to make use of that dark room, I would not have considered choosing that room for rule comprehension, even if the concentration of blood rule is the highest in that particular spot." It seems it was not Cortney's idea to use the so-called secret room to comprehend the blood rule. Bloodette recommended it to her best friend, completely aware that the concentration of blood rule is highest at that spot in the entire cave. It seems Bloodette, despite her naivete, knew how to show partialism. 

"Fine, now close the entrance to my secret base." Bloodette gave up complaining as what Cortney said made sense but still urged Cortney to hurry and hide the entrance to the server base. 

"Ok, ok" Cortney hurriedly moved the bookcase to cover the hidden passageway before Bloodette became cranky. 

"..." Seeing Cortney do as she said, Bloodette nodded and then enthusiastically asked, " Cortney, which rune did you comprehend? You seem tastier than before." 

"Bloodette, what did I tell you about telling people they seem tasty?" Cortney asked, trying to discipline Bloodette. 

"I know, I know. But it's okay if it's just us, right?" Bloodette said, acting cute. 

"But don't make it a habit." Cortney melted to Bloodette's cute gestures and let her off the hook. 

"Okay, enough nagging. Now tell what meaning of blood rule did you comprehend." Bloodette urged Cortney to stop keeping her in suspense and tell what meaning she comprehended. 

"The meaning I comprehended is called Blood spirit. It allows me to extract Blood from my victims and sacrifice them to summon blood spirits. The blood spirits inherit egos and abilities from the sacrifice used to create them." Cortney finally revealed that she could turn creatures into blood spirits, and these blood spirits would inherit the ego and abilities of their past selves. 

"Gasp" Hearing the meaning comprehended by Cortney, Bloodette and I could not help but gasp. My gasp was in dread for Cortney's blood rule meaning, but Bloodette's gasp was in astonishment for the blood rule meaning comprehended by Cortney.
