“No, I am not threatening the Heatsend royal family Princess. I would be crazy to threaten the Southern Emperor. Please don’t misunderstand me. I am just reminding her that her actions could cost the lives of millions of innocent souls in the city. I do not want any trouble, and all of this can be avoided if you are willing to hand over the creator of silver milk powder, Dalton Wyatt.” Grinch was here to exchange the target for the city, not dig his grave. So he tried his best not to break any eggsh.e.l.ls as he spoke about the exchange with the death incarnation in front of him.

“Be it a reminder or advice or a threat. You mongrel are not worthy of talking terms with our Princess.” Anna was the southern emperor, but elders of the southern region like Lorenzo still saw her as their Princess. They will not tolerate any disrespect towards her. However, it’s another thing that Anna’s habit of having a ‘good time’ has not made it easy for the elderly to respect her.

“Old man, you done? If yes, I will activate the skill combo. If you want me to, I will leave this one behind for you to take care of.” Anna did not care about Lorenzo’s loyalty. This old geezer, when push came to shove, used her to protect his granddaughter. Putting a question mark on this man’s loyalty and integrity.

“Yes, Please. I will appreciate that.” Lorenzo was as shameless as they come, and the hypocrisy in his words and action did not bother him the least bit. He still considered him the no.1 loyal subject of the Heatsend Royal family.

“Okay, see you.

Positioning Rain Array, Activate

d.a.m.ned Arena, Activate

Skill Combo d.a.m.ned Raining Arena” Anna activated her field card d.a.m.ned Arena in combination with the Positioning Rain array forming a skill combo, d.a.m.ned Raining Arena. Shortly Anna disappeared along with the four card emperors, Leaving behind Lorenzo and Grinch.

“What the…” Anna disappearing caught Grinch off guard. And his words trailed, realizing he could not feel the presence of his team. Shortly after, he discovered that he could not contact the 20 card emperors hiding in the city. Finding out that all his allies were missing and he was left alone facing the Raining alchemist, Grinch was scared silly.

“Come, little Grinch. Let me help you understand the spirit of the holiday. And while we’re at it, why don’t you tell me more about the remaining card emperors in hiding.” Lorenzo grabbed Grinch by the neck, ensuring he had no room to struggle as he gave up on any hope of escaping.

“…” Grinch struggled frantically and tried using his rune cards, but none responded.

“Stop it, or I will break both your hands” annoyed by Grinch’s hands trying to claw himself free from his grasp, Lorenzo warned Grinch. Both Lorenzo and Grinch were card emperors, but in comparison to Lorenzo’s strength, Grinch’s strength was nonexistent

“Good, now tell me how many of your colleagues are still hiding in the city? Is five yes or no?” Lorenzo activated his rune ‘balance’ and began his interrogation.

“No.” Grinch was surprised to hear Lorenzo guess the correct number though he could mask his surprise, he still blurted out a lie, helping Lorenzo discern that the number he a.s.sumed was correct.

“Well, I will be d.a.m.ned. I got it right on the first try. Lucky me.

Now, tell me, where are they? they are outside in the city outskirts, aren’t they?” Lorenzo was glad that he got the number of hostile card emperors on the first try. Later he got more information about these card emperors that were in hiding.

“I don’t know.” Grinch did not know where Grey Fur and his team were because they separated from the rest of them, saying they had another task allotted by Madame Web.

“You are telling the truth. You really don’t know where they are.” Lorenzo was surprised to see Grinch tell the truth for a change. Seeing that he could not get any more info on the whereabouts of the hostile card emperors, Lorenzo decided to ask Grinch about other pressing matters.

“Tell me who sent you people and what do you want from Dalton Wyatt? Is it because of silver milk powder?” Lorenzo knew that the hostile card emperors were after Dalton Wyatt, but it was still a mystery who could gather 30 card emperors to adduct the discoverer of silver milk powder.

“…” Before Grinch could answer Lorenzo’s questions, he went silent. From the expression on his face, it appeared as if only his body was present here, but his consciousness was not. He seems to have turned into a vegetative state.

Lorenzo wanted to examine the Grinch’s body further and determine why he turned from a healthy living person into an empty vessel. Still, he soon received a distress signal from his granddaughter. So, storing Grinch’s body, Lorenzo hurried to the rescue of his granddaughter.

…

Positioning Rain array, as the array’s name indicates it is a positioning array. Within the range of the array, nothing can hide from the user’s perception. Unless, of course, they have a higher level of stealth abilities.

Upon activation, light rain showers the area of effect of the array. The light rain is unique as each of its droplets acts as a sensor and perceives its surroundings, and reports back to its host. The range of each droplet is about 500 meters so that even if the target is hidden in a structure like a house or building, the raindrops can snip the target out. And the living creatures within the array act as carriers for the droplets.

The droplets can perceive through any kind of stealth and cloaking abilities within the limit of the same realm as the user. These droplets can detect all types of anomalies as long as it’s within the limits of users’ strength. These droplets do not dry off quickly, not unless the array is turned off. Here the array acts like wifi, and the droplets act like smart devices. The droplets collect data and send it to the array but once out of a range of the array, these droplets are pretty much useless. This is how Lorenzo was able to locate the 20 card emperors that were hidden in the city.

When Anna used the positioning array in combination with her field card, d.a.m.ned arena, it helped her increase the range of her field card, d.a.m.ned arena. This way, Anna could drag anyone inside the scope of the array into the d.a.m.ned arena.

“f.o.o.k, where are we?” One of the Card emperors dragged in the d.a.m.ned arena exclaimed in surprise. One second he was hiding in a market, and the next second he was in something that looked like a gladiator’s pit.

“Where in the name of card h.e.l.l is this place? Is this a Colosseum? What the f.o.o.k happened? And why is it raining here too?” Apart from the usual confusion, this particular Card emperor was curious about the rain. He felt that this sudden turn of events might somehow be related to the rain.

“f.o.o.k the rain, I can not sense any rules in this place or connect with the world. Try summoning your grimoire; I cannot summon mine!” A Card emperor realized the weirdness of the place they were teleported to and exclaimed frantically, asking others to check if they could connect to the world or summon their grimoire.

“No, I too can not sense any rules or connect with the world. What the f.o.o.k, I can not summon my grimoire.” other card emperors started to take notice of the weirdness of the place. Unable to fathom a tiny bit of soul energy or rules, all of them panicked. Some weak-minded Card emperors faced a mental breakdown.

“Shut up, fools. We are in the famous d.a.m.ned Arena of the Southern emperor. In here, we cannot access soul energy or rules. Right now we are totally cut off from the world. So stop trying to connect with the world to access rules.

The only way to exit this d.a.m.ned place is to kill the Southern emperor. And don’t worry, according to sources, the southern emperor will also be under the same restrictions as us. With our numbers, we call kill her” One of the Card emperors seemed to be knowledgeable about their current situation and informed the panicking crowd about their current situation

“*Clap**Clap*… You are the first one to guess the ability of my field card. Interestingly, I made sure to keep my card’s information a secret by killing every soul that has entered this arena. But how did you know about my card? Guess I will be saving you for the last.

As for the rest of you gentlemen …
