My mind ran wild with various probable ways to use the fate plunder ultra rune. Just because I thought of a possibility doesn't mean it would work. I have to test all my theories about using my newfound power. And the only way to do that is by conducting experiments in controlled laboratory parameters. With that thought in my mind, I exited the meditative state and opened my eyes.
"Holy s.h.i.+t!" I yelled in alarm, being greeted by a close-up of Bloodette's face upon opening my eyes. Bloodette's face was just a few centimeters away from my face. Having looked at Bloodette's blood humanoid face up close for the very first time, I could not help but cry in surprise.
"Ahh!" My yell of alarm frightened Bloodette, who was too focused on whatever the h.e.l.l she was doing.
"Bloodette, what the heck?" I questioned Bloodette about the purpose and intention behind her actions earlier.
"Wyatt, what kind of rune did you forge? Which Blood rule meaning did you comprehend? You started to seem more appetizing than before, and I am getting a faint feeling that if I devour you, my blood rule comprehension will evolve to a new level and direction I have never explored before. I can barely hold back my instincts and stop myself from devouring you." Turns out Bloodette's earlier action could be explained easily with a few words that I had suddenly turned into the tastiest cuisine in Bloodette's eyes, and she was barely able to hold herself back from trying to devour me. So if I had awakened a few seconds later, maybe I would be in Bloodette's stomach, and that is a big if.
" Come on now, Bloodette, you can't go on asking people personal stuff like that. Since I know you, I know that your question is innocent and has nothing but curiosity behind it, but if it's a stranger, they might get offended. So remember that there are things you can think about but never speak out loud, and this one is one of them." I did not intend to answer Bloodette and instead spun it into a teachable moment for her.
"I know that. Cortney has taught me that before. She said, if I find some people are tastier, I should not say it out loud because that might scare them away." Bloodette seems to have an extra sense of blood which guides her to finding the prey with the most nutritious blood that could benefit her. A convenient ability for a foodie like Bloodette.
"Add this to that list." Like taking candy from a child, convincing Bloodette did not require a lot of wits.
"Okay" Bloodette nodded in understanding but still stuck close to me. And knowing what was going through her mind, I felt uncomfortable with her following me around in the cave as I looked at my calamity daughter gems harmoniously trying to comprehend blood rule.
"Bloodette! Was I the first to awaken?" I asked to start a conversation to make the current situation less awkward. If a blood humanoid following you round with her mouth-watering doesn't make you uncomfortable, then what does.
"No, you are last to awaken. Every one hour or so after entering the meditative state, these guys would awaken, then popping a blood pill, they would continued to meditate. That has been repeating for the whole night." Bloodette explained that I was the only one with a prolonged meditative period, whereas my calamity daughter gems could hardly meditate for an hour or so even with the help of blood pills.
It seems of my calamity daughter gems were compatible with the blood rule. Therefore, even with the help of Bloodette's blood pill and Blood rock cave, they were unable to show a high comprehension in blood rule. This was disappointing as I was hoping that the blood rule's boost would be enough for them to prepare for the upcoming war against the Circle Sun blossom branch. But no worries, my new ultra rune should be able to add the missing strength boost if they fail to forge a good rune despite all the help I have provided them.
"What about Cortney? Where is she?" I asked, unable to find Cortney in the crowd.
"She is in the hidden chamber. Our secret base. No one is allowed in the base except us two." Bloodette answered. It seems she did not grasp the concept of a secret base entirely. Otherwise, she would know that secret bases are kept secret for a reason.
"Bloodette, why aren't you helping Cortney comprehend rules and forge runes with your blood possession skill? With Cortney's innate rune, it must be a lot easier for you to help her now, right?" I could not help but wonder why Bloodette is not helping Cortney comprehend blood rule and forge runes. With Bloodette's understanding of blood rule, Cortney could form a dozen strong high-tier runes in a few hours.
"She said using my understanding to create her runes would destroy her foundation of blood rule so she will comprehend her understanding of blood rule and form her runes even if it takes a prolonged period to achieve that." Cortney seemed to have followed Anna and Luna's teaching and focused on increasing her understanding of the blood rule rather than taking a shortcut. I guess she will do fine if it's comprehending blood rule because her ego gem has a blood rule affinity.
"I see" while listening to Bloodette's explanation, I used my soul pupils to explore the blood rock cave to find the so-called secret base that was Bloodette too loose-lipped about. I found Cortney in a small 8×8 room hidden room behind the bookcase parallel to Bloodette's bed.. Cortney and Bloodette did not seem to have put much thought into placing the hidden room and followed the cliche by building the secret room behind a bookcase.
