<h4>Chapter 326: Titled Demon Core?</h4>


    Date- 27 Mar 2321


    Time- 16:06


    Location- Sky Blossom City, Card stadium, Arena no.2


    The mystery to the Smoke monsters immortality lies in the dark red fire covering the arena, the 7th hell: Eternal agony. This was obvious seeing how Corey would choose to not speak about these fires.


    The dark red fire stopped wailing with the disaster rain but it did not get extinguished due to rainwater. It kept burning unhindered. Clearly, it’s a special me with dark attributes and water did not seem to harm it in any way.


    The only time the fire showed any sign of damage was when it came in contact with the residue of the Holy Rainbow beam. Until now have been acting thinking the fire covering the arena is just a field skill but what if this skill has more to it?


    The mes wail and cry when theye in contact with the wind but go silent when in contact with water. What’s weirder is that they produce dense smoke despite not burning anything. How is that possible?


    My first assumption was it was a skill so it did not need anything to burn as long as Corey supplies it with enough power from the world rules.


    But soon I realized there are too many holes in this assumption even if the fire continues to burn by burning power from Corey’s world rule it can not produce such dense smoke. Seeing how long this duel is taking Corey would be stupid to maintain these mes for so longpromising her world rule’s power. When the mes have no contribution to the duel and require her to spare her attention to it during a battle.


    Despite all these disadvantages Corey continued to maintain the me. Raising many questions about my assumption? Is the me continuing to burn by burning the power of Corey’s world rule? Why does the me produce so much smoke? when the mes using World rule’s power as fuel produce zero amount of smoke.


    Answering these questions leads to a new assumption that these mes do not continue to burn by the burning power of Corey’s world rule, rather they use something else as fuel. The reason behind the dense smoke produced by the me must be the said fuel.


    One would think that someone with skills like Soul Pupils and Soul Echolocation would figure out the fuel of the me covering the arena sooner but the thing is that the fuel for the 7th Hell: Eternal agony was inside Corey so I mistook that the mes fuel was the power of Corey’s world rule and did not investigate further.


    But now that I have new questions to find answers for I investigated the source of the fuel for the mes inside Corey. And finallynded on a pitch-ck bead. Surprisingly this bead was in the same location where an Ego gem should be. Seeing no ego gem nearby I believe this ck bead is Corey’s Ego gem. I decided to explore it but just when I was about to investigate further I got notifications from the grimoire,


    [Host has discovered – Titled Demon Core property of subject Corey]


    [Would the host prefer to use Cmity Soul Gem to peek or invade the Title Demon Core? (Peek/Invade/Decline)]


    ‘WTF is a Titled Demon Core? Isn’t this Corey’s ego gem? It does look a lot like a ck-colored Ego Gem. If it is not an ego gem why does Corey have it? And what do you mean by Peek or Invade?’


    Using the Soul pupils to investigate the power source of Corey’s mes I discovered that what I believed to be Corey’s Ego Gem is a titled demon core. I had no idea what the title demon core is. But seeing how it has a demon in its name I guess it must be powerful.


    Many questions ran through my head regarding Corey’s titled demon core, seeing how it allowed Corey to use the power of world rule. I believe it is something like a monster core. This exined a lot especially Corey’s physique which gave her a pair of horns and a detachable tail. The Titled demon Core gives Corey the ability to use the power of rules and a demonic physique quite simr to my Cmity soul gem.


    Assuming the Titled demon core is something simr to a variant monster core I was left with another question: what does the Cmity Soul Gem mean by Peeking or invading the titled demon core? Is it something simr to a mental attack?


    I won’t know unless I tried it. So, I decided to peek into Corey’s titled demon core first to know what I am getting into. Because if this is something like a mental attack then I bet Corey has a way to defend and fight against it. If I, Who knew nothing got caught in this my end up bingmb at Corey’s mercy.


    [Peek]


    [Cmity soul gem using Soul pupils and Soul echolocation to Peek into the titled demon Core…]


    My vision blurred and the scenery changed to a panorama view of a burningnd with dark red mes. When I concentrated further in the mes I saw numerous ck figures of various shapes and sizes living in it. These ck figures were very simr to the smoke monsters summoned by Corey. I remembered that I saw the same sight once in Corey’s eyes and the tournament arena.


    What are these ck creatures? Why do they live in dark red mes? How many of them are there? Inside the titled demon core as far my sight could see I saw numerous ck monsters covered in the dark red fire. With these many summon monsters Corey might as well subdue the whole sky blossom city and the nearby cities. If not for her realm holding her back this army was enough to gain control over the whole southern region. I finally understood, Corey did indeed have the ability to be arrogant. Just as I was about to leave I suddenly heard a thundering roar


    “Who goes there?”


    I turned to see the source of the roar. It was Corey but this Corey’s physical body waspletely made up of dark red-colored me.
