“It’s getting late. Let’s head back.” I said to Cortney. Seeing all the work here was done, I planned to head back and learn about rune forging from Anna.

“Okay, let’s head back.” Cortney nodded in affirmation.

“Can’t you guys stay longer?” Bloodette pleaded. Having tested Cortney’s rune, she had separated from the innate rune.

“What for? Can’t you just come with us using Cortney’s innate blood rune?” I reminded Bloodette that she could follow us by entering Cortney’s innate rune.

“But the seal….” Bloodette recalled dejectedly.

“It could work. We should give it a try. If the soul pact card can allow you to level the seal for some time, then my innate rune could do the same. ” Cortney supported my theory and wanted to give it a try. So she enthusiastically suggested Bloodette not give up.

“You would do that for me?” Bloodette asked Cortney in surprise. After all, there were consequences to resisting the dungeon seal.

Bloodette had tried so many times to go out of the dungeon but was always stopped by the seal on the dungeon. Every time Bloodette attempted to resist the seal, she had to face harsh punishment.

At first, Bloodette thought her power was not enough. She was right, but she did not know by how much. So whenever she made a breakthrough in her active soul control or Blood rule, she would try to resist the seal placed on the dungeon. But to no avail, every time, her power was not enough. And the repercussion that followed as the consequences of her resisting the seal placed on the dungeon was very severe enough to break Bloodette’s will to fight. Finally, she gave up, deciding she would try once she achieved the zenith level of the active soul control and Blood rule.

Therefore this time, when Cortney suggested using her rune to con the seal placed on the dungeon, Bloodette could not help but hesitate. After all, she knew what the repercussions would follow as the consequences of her getting caught trying to con the dungeon seal.

Bloodette was not afraid of the punishment of the seal as it was nothing compared to the hope given by the innate blood rune of Cortney. But what worries her is that if they are caught by the seal of the dungeon trying to con it, then Cortney may also face the punishment of the seal of the dungeon. Bloodette had an undying body and the realm of a Card overlord so she could take the punishment of the seal of the dungeon. But the same was not true for Cortney, who was of the Card soldier realm and had a weak physique of a human card apprentice.

Yes, Bloodette was not worried for her. She could risk it following the hope provided by Cortney’s innate rune, but the hope provided by the innate blood rune was not enough for her to risk her friend’s life. Therefore Bloodette thought twice before agreeing to Cortney’s plan.

But the thought of Cortney being willing to risk her life for her so that she could get out of the dungeon was touching and moving for Bloodette. which made it even harder for her to follow Cortney’s plan. She would rather spend the rest of the eternity trapped in the dungeon than risk losing a good best friend like Cortney. Who did not think twice when it came to helping her get out of the dungeon seal.

“Yes, I would because you would do the same for me.” Cortney may look like a delinquent from outside and dress like a cheap girl, but her heart was golden and big enough to carry the wishes and regrets of her dead brother and sister from the orphanage. She knew the true meaning of brotherhood and lived by it. If someone would help her, she would repay them 1000 times. If someone crossed her, then she would repay them ten times. Her motto was simple: friends and family are more important than anyone. Repaying someone’s grace is more important than revenge.

And she owed Bloodette a lot of grace on that fateful night if Bloodette had not allowed her into the Dungeon. Then she might have been kidnapped by her pursuers and turned into a slave or worse.

“Okay, let’s do it.” Being encouraged by Cortney, Bloodette was infected by her enthusiasm and decided to try leaving the dungeon she was sealed in by leaving the dungeon hidden in Cortney’s innate blood rune.

Getting a green signal from Bloodette, Cortney used her innate rune, ‘Blood Supreme,’ to call Bloodette into the rune s.p.a.ce. Feeling the pull of the mysterious bond between her and Cortney’s Innate blood rune, Bloodette did not resist and followed the tug from the connection between her and Cortney.

Soon Bloodette shed her humanoid body and morphed into a liquid form which began to force into Cortney’s orifice than to the innate blood rune. Having settled in the innate rune blood supreme, Bloodette opened the Dungeon gate for us to walk out of the dungeon.

I head out first, and Cortney carrying Bloodette in her innate blood rune followed behind. I pa.s.sed through the dungeon gate without resistance, and walking out of the dungeon gate, I waited for Cortney, concerned that there could be some complications as she tried to step out of the dungeon gate. After all, she was not walking through the dungeon gate by herself. She was carrying Bloodette in her innate blood rune, who could not walk out of the dungeon because of the sea placed on the dungeon.

I patiently waited as Cortney finally gathered the courage to step through the dungeon gate. The seal on the dungeon limiting Bloodette to the dungeon was no joke. After all, the Ancient demiG.o.ds had placed the seal on the dungeon. There are severe consequences to resisting or deceiving the seal covering the dungeon. It’s not a surprise that Cortney is scared, even if that is what she wished to do with her whole heart.
