Chapter 2450: Third Unranked Grimoire

Date: Unspecified

Time: Unspecified

Location: Myriad Realms, Card World, Southern Way Beyond, SSS-rank Titan Forest Field Dungeon.

"Go ahead, summon your grimoire," I ordered Redfall, hovering over the burning SSS-rank Titan Forest Field Dungeon near the Way Beyond at the Southern Border.

It took the three of less than five minutes to reduce this SSS-rank field dungeon bustling with gigantic trees and monsters into an enormous bonfire spreading across the entire field dungeon. Turning it into a perfect arena to meet the card apprentice holding Demigod Redfall’s origin card.

"Yes, master," Redfall nodded, extending his hand out. Soon, a few seconds later, a diamond grimoire appeared above his palm. Redfall retrieved it within himself with the expression of twins meeting after decades of separation.

Suddenly, Redfall began to glow brilliantly. Soon, the brilliant light emerged out of his body. On second glance, it turned out to be his diamond grimoire.

"Did those assholes rig the grimoire?" Lois asked, enraged but also confused, wondering how Redfall didn’t notice the trap. After all, it was his grimoire.

"No, it’s upgrading," I uttered in shock as this wasn’t the first time I was seeing this phenomenon. The other time was when my golden rank grimoire upgraded to an unranked grimoire.

"How is this even possible?" Redfall stole the words in my mind.

The only reason my grimoire upgraded to an unranked grimoire was because of the ’Breath of Erosion’ tainting Redfall’s soul separated by Dredre when I fooled her into trying to revive Redfall, who was pretending to be dead on my orders.

Most of the ’Breath of Erosion’ was used up for my grimoire’s upgrade while the rest returned to the river of reincarnation. That was to say there should be no more ’Breath of Erosion’ left for Redfall’s grimoire to upgrade. Yet, here I was watching Redfall’s diamond rank grimoire upgraded into an unranked grimoire.

This didn’t make sense unless there was more than one condition a card apprentice could choose from to satisfy to upgrade their ranked grimoire to unranked grimoire. Or maybe this had something to do with Redfall’s soul having come into contact with the ’Breath of Erosion.’

I had too many questions yet no time to find answers for them, for now, as I sensed the fluctuation in the space. Getting my signal, Redfall retrieved the third unranked grimoire this world has seen and welcomed his murderers.

"Kiren, if he ran away. I’m sleeping at your place tonight," a sleazy old man joked with the female group mate next to him as soon as the group of six appeared in the field dungeon.

"Sure, Olli, as long as you root out your third leg. My social circle could use a eunuch demigod," Kiren, a cyan-haired demigod, shot back at the sleazy old man, who finally glanced at Redfall and cried, "Why are you still here?"

Feeling the ‌creeped-out glances of his group mates on him, the sleazy old man explained, "I can always grow my third leg back, but never get such an offer from Kiren. Besides, I’m more of a tongue guy. I’m only satisfied when my partner is satisfied."

"Olli, stop. We all know you are still a virgin," the man standing at the center of the group and on the other side of Kiren said, unable to help but take a cheap shot at his sleazy friend.

"And now you guys know why," Ollie remarked, without denying that he was still a virgin. Then, leaning toward Kiren, standing next to him, he whispered, "I lied. Actually, I’m saving it for you."

"Motherfucker, step away from my wife," the man on the other side of Kiren screamed, having enough of sleazy Ollie hitting on his wife. He tried to let it slide out of consideration of their reunion and of course, Redfall. But the asshole didn’t know to quit when he was ahead.

"Cam, calm down. We can deal with him after we complete our objective," Kiren reminded her husband of their priorities.

"Tsk," Ollie clicked his tongue in annoyance, uttering, "Just because you married her doesn’t mean I lose my birthright to hit on her."

"Birthright?" Kiren asked in confusion.

"It’s every man’s birthright, nay, divine mission to hit on beautiful women," Ollie seriously explained with a holy undertone, and for a second it felt like he had achieved sainthood.

Cam wanted to punch Ollie in his self-righteous face, but Kiren signaled him not to. Suppressing his anger, he glanced at Redfall and grinned grimly, adding, "You are gonna wish you should have stayed dead."

"Finally! Cannibal Cam is the house people!" The only other female group mate besides Kiren announced aloud, then winking at Ollie she commended him, "Good job, Ollie."

"Happy to be of service, Your Highness Christina," Ollie thanked like a gentleman, completely opposite to his sleazy self. After all, he was in the presence of royalty. The Westerner Royalty, Princess Christina Chase, to be exact.

"..." Listening to the exchange between her friends, Kiren shook her head helplessly, fully aware of her anger issues. The more his rage builds up, the stronger he gets until it hits the limit and one of his other personalities surfaces, Cannibal Cam. This personality of his was. called Cannibal not because it fed on its own kind but because when it first surfaced it bit off the neck of the Card Apprentice, one entire realm above theirs, for trying to insult her before his eyes.

As Christina Chase was cheering for Cannibal Cam, one of her guards whispered in her ears recognizing one of Redfall’s comrades.

"Who? Dalton Wyatt? Are you sure?" Christina asked, eyeing the young man with the card master soul energy signature.

"Master, I’m surprised there are still card apprentices out there who don’t know about you. Was she living under a rock?" Lois commented, expressing her dissatisfaction that the group of card demigods before them didn’t recognize her master immediately and a few of them genuinely appeared not to know of him.

Ignoring Lois, Christina gazed at the boy and asked, "They say you are Anna’s fiancé. Well, are you?"
