Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sun blossom city, Circle’s Branch Headquarters

The enemy semi-demiG.o.ds were more coordinated and clear about their priorities than the allied semi-demiG.o.ds. Following the orders from the main branch, the circle’s semi-demiG.o.d prioritized capturing the boy over partic.i.p.ating in an all-out battle with the allied semi-demiG.o.ds. So once they realized that their opponent’s number was not greater than theirs they decided to fan out, capture the target, and retreat without leaving a trach behind. The circle’s semi-demiG.o.ds choose such a course of action because they were very confident about their capabilities and not because they underestimated their opponents.

“f.u.c.k, they are targeting the three clones. Stop them immediately,” Agatha who knew that the boy could create absolute clones that were as capable and similar as the original panicked seeing that the enemy semi-demiG.o.ds immediately target the three absolute clones among the crowd of B-rank clones. Her fear stemmed from the worry that one of these three absolute clones was the original and she did not know which one. So she could only rush after one of the clones while trusting the protection of the other two clones to Number Nine and Ten.

Agatha did not know Number Nine and Ten, therefore it was a big decision on Agatha’s part to trust them at such a moment granted that she did not have much choice in this case. Agatha was so desperate not just because Aba’s life was at stake but also because her future was at stake here. Because she believed the boy to be her golden ticket out of poverty. Who said there were no poor card apprentices among semi-demiG.o.ds and demiG.o.ds? It may appear like they have the power to get anything they desire but with an increase in the realm, the line of poverty for the card apprentices also increases. Most card apprentices could not meet this poverty line in their entire lives. Take the card lords of the Sky blossom city, in a third-rate city they make appear wealthy but their entire fortune was nothing in eyes of the card lords from second and first-rate cities.

Fortunately for DemiG.o.d Windsor, he has a were economical ability that allows him to ama.s.s more money as if he were printing the money. As his retainer, Agatha earned a decent paycheck but as a semi-demiG.o.d living paycheck to paycheck, Agatha couldn’t be more ashamed of herself. Therefore, she needs to protect this golden ticket that the world has thrown her way.

Not to forget he can now be considered her friend. This was the main reason why she desperately wanted to protect the boy. Yes, this has to be it as it sounded better than the last one.

Without communicating, the three allied semi-demiG.o.ds came to a tactical understanding and knew what they had to do. Not wasting much time they chased their respective opponents, but this one-second delay made a lot of difference in the battle of higher realms especially when it comes to the semi-demiG.o.d realm and above.

While the semi-demiG.o.ds finally acted, as if the boy could sense the danger, all three clones of his that were being targeted immediately summoned a grimoire, and each of them used a different set of cards hoping to outrun the semi-demiG.o.d chasing them.

Sensing all three clones summon grimoire and use them, the Circle’s semi-demiG.o.ds were confused. As clones cannot contract grimoires but these three did. But soon attributing this anomaly to trickery the enemy semi-demiG.o.ds ignore it and rushed to grab the respective clone they were chasing.

The three clones of the boy, showed a lot of intelligence, as they not only activated a set of cards to help them escape but they were able to skillfully use them. One of the three clones had used some kind of partial transformation card, growing beast ears, tail, and fur, he tried escaping to the city outskirts to hide in the wild. While the second one had a peculiar wing-type item, which seemed to allow the clone to flicker every second, this clone chose to run to a crowded place to blend among the people using a disguise. As for the last one, after running for a while it immediately burrowed into the ground to hide in the city’s drainage tunnels.

These detail did not escape the watchful eyes of the circle’s Semi-demiG.o.ds chasing the clones. The more they saw the respective clone they were chasing in action the more the circle’s Semi-demiG.o.ds became certain that the clone they were chasing was the original. So they could not help but show a confident smile as they captured the boy’s clone they had chased.

Even though the allied semi-demiG.o.d gave their best they couldn’t make up for the second of the head start they gave to their opponents due to their indecisiveness caused by a lack of coordination between them. As result, they were unable to catch up to the enemy demiG.o.d in time and could only watch as their opponents captured the target of their protection. The only thing card apprentices could not control in higher realms was time that was of course if they did not have the time rule mastery or time-related cards, so they had to be more decisive in their battles, but due to a lack of communication between them, the allied Semi-demiG.o.ds had dropped the b.a.l.l.s from the start.

Having captured their respective target the three enemy semi-demiG.o.ds immediately chose to retreat feeling certain that the clone of the boy that they had captured was the original. So storing the boy they captured in their respective trap cards they rushed to the hidden teleportation array that Mike had built in the various hidden spots for their retreat.

Seeing the enemy semi-demiG.o.ds were not only able to capture the target of their protection and would be able to successfully retreat the three allied semi-demiG.o.ds did not hesitate to launch attacks aimed at the enemy semi-demiG.o.ds right within the city without care for the casualties that would follow their choices. Compared to the threat of the southern emperor, the allied semi-demiG.o.ds felt that the mortal casualties were little price to pay.

The enemy semi-demiG.o.ds knew that after they captured the target their opponents would resort to desperate actions, so they were already prepared and expecting the allied semi-demiG.o.ds to attack. If possible they would try to evade their opponent’s attack and if not possible they would strengthen their defenses, endure the attacks and keep rus.h.i.+ng toward the hidden teleportation arrays like charging bulls without showing any notion of stopping. Because they knew if they stopped here to deal with the incoming attacks their opponent would entangle them with everything they got until more of them arrived blocking their retreat.
