Chapter 958 Dilemma
Location- Sun Blossom City, Card Creation Association, Auction House, West Wing Hall
Ordinarily, when creating an Ego Elemental I did not require the grimoire but this time since I am under constant surveillance I had to use the grimoire card creation as a go-between. And I also made use of common core to turn the cards into a card because I planned to give two of them to Diana and Cindy who had not forged their ego gem yet. Ego elementals were like runes they could be stored in an Ego gem, and since they had been refined they did not have the same disadvantages as the broken runes when stored in an ego gem.
Out of 37 broken runes, I turned 35 of them into Ego Elemental summoning cards. I kept two wind rule broken runes of Haste and Sensory meaning each separate as I had planned to use them to upgrade the Elusive Aerial Puss summons card. Though this summons card was powerful in its current state it was nothing when compared to the Ego Elementals. It made use of soul energy and the Ego Elemental made use of rule power, so no matter how awesome the Elusive spirits’ skills were they would not hold a candle when faced with a Wind rule Ego Elemental. Therefore I thought it would be best if it were upgraded. Since I could refine the spirits of the broken runes with the help of the calamity daughter runes I was not afraid of them negatively influencing the Elusive Aerial Spirit.
First I placed the elusive wind spirit in the grimoire’s card creation page and he morphed it back into a core containing a Space trap array that held the elusive Aerial Puss spirit. To gain access to the elusive wind spirit I would have to open the Space trap array that is holding it, but once I open the array formation the spirit trapped within it will try to run for its freedom. Previously I did not face such a problem because none of my card ingredients had intelligence and consciousness but this one did and I needed to be smart about it, so first I conjured a calamity daughter gem and made a small opening in the space trap array I waited for the Elusive spirit to make a run for it just when it was halfway out I closed the array on it. With the back of the body trapped in the array, the elusive wind spirit was stuck. It struggled to break free from the array’s constraint and in time it would be successful but before that could happen I sowed the calamity daughter gem in it turning it docile.
Now that it had joined the ranks of my calamity daughter gem monster army, I loosened the space trap array once again. This time the elusive wind spirit did not try to escape instead it peacefully returns to the space trap array. Then I gave it the two wind rule broken runes. Which the elusive aerial puss stored in its very own calamity daughter gem. Now like my stone trolls the Elusive aerial puss too could comprehend rules depending on its talent. But for now, she will have to make do with the two broken runes. Yes, I just found out that Elusive aerial puss was a she.
Patching up the space trap array I morphed the core back into a card. While I was doing this I had tasked the Hive AI to analyze the Space trap array. Since I planned to use it to turn my stone trolls and other monsters into summons cards. That could be a very profitable business and a way to reward my forces for their contribution to the upcoming war. Not everyone in my force was like my calamity daughter gems, they were willing to risk their life and fight my battle because they had something to gain from it and if I did not make that something worthwhile then their morale for the next war would not be as enthusiastic as the current one. This did not mean that I was going to give everyone a summons card, only those with the most contribution as driving for the rest of the forces to more actively participate in the next war.
After upgrading the Elusive wind spirit did not evolve into a demon as the transcendent blood slime spirit did but like the stone trolls, it also gained the viltronian physique and the other skills of the calamity daughter gem. Now that I had upgraded the Elusive Aerial Puss summons card and the Hive AI was done coping the Space trap array. Next up were the energy sword cards.
When it came to these cards there was a dilemma, earlier Cheng had informed me that one of these eight Energy sword cards was a card apprentice’s fated ingredient. I hate the idea of coming between a card apprentice and their fated ingredient but I needed these cards for the upcoming battle. They would make good weapons for me to use when I transform into Gigamite.
I could leave these cards as it is but that was not possible as there weren’t as many item card slots to use all eight energy sword cards at once. Therefore I not only planned to modify these energy sword cards but also add them into one card. This way I will not have to worry about not having enough item cards to summon eight different weapons for my gigamite form.
Seeing me lost in thought Agatha spoke, “Wyatt, we don’t have time for you to daydream- wait sense it is night should I be calling it dreaming?”
Agatha’s blabber awakened me from my train of thoughts. This was an ethical dilemma so I decided to use her council on this one. So I said, “Agatha, What happens to a fate ingredient when someone else other than the fated card apprentice use it?
