    Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sun blossom city, Sewers


    As I rolled my pebble body to find a way outside the sewers I suddenly felt the city go quiet. I was not talking about the city’s regr hubbub, but the booming sound produced by the semi-demigods fighting in the city airspace. What happened? Why did they suddenly stop? Did they leave the city airspace and take their fight somewhere else? Or did the circle’s demigod manage to escape? Now that would bring the fight to a halt. After all, with the enemy sessfully retreating who were the allied semi-demigods supposed to fight? That was a possibility but if that were to happen then I would be very disappointed by the capabilities of the allied semi-demigods. Not only did they let the enemies capture my clones but also let them get away with it, which can only be exined as a huge letdown.


    Inside the sewer with my sense trapped in a tiny pebble body, the world had suddenly grownrger for me. Yes, my gigamite physique allowed my pebble body to do what no other pebble could, but it was still a great challenge to cover 100 meters with a body less than 1mm in size. Therefore, I felt being up to date on the semi-demigod activity took less priority, feeling that with my new rune card I had managed to ovee the huge disaster upon me.


    But it did not take long for the world to remind me that I was wrong to think that. When I used the B-rank 100 clone escape card to summon 100 B-rank clones hoping that they could make a good cover for my cmity daughter clones as they escaped to the bounds of the city, but it was a waste of effort as the semi-demigods saw right through the B-rank clones and directly went after cmity daughter clone not even bothering to waste their energy to destroy the 100 B-rank clones.


    Yes, even after my cmity daughter clones were captured my 100 B-rank clones were still free and trying to escape to every corner of the city. This made me regret the decision of having my cmity daughter clones carry my cmity soul gem. If not for my quick reaction and ditching the cmity soul gem along with the debris produced during the process of the cmity daughter clone burrowing into the sewer tunnel, my cmity soul gem would still be on the cmity daughter clone as it was captured by the circle’s semi-demigod and trapped in their grimoire.


    That was a matter of the past and not of concern now but the B-rank clones of mine were, as a minute ago something unknown had started to target and hunt them one by one. I do not know who was tracking my B-rank clones spread across every corner of the city and hunting them down methodically but it was clear that they must hold quite a grudge against me to do something so tedious and pointless. Hunting my B-rank clones would not harm me in any way unless they believed that it would.


    The only reason for the enemy to do that would be if they think that my original body was hiding among the 100 B-rank clones and not the three prefect clones captured by the semi-demigods. Seeing how easily they were able to track my B-rank clones and methodically kill them, I bet whoever was behind this incident was no ordinary card apprentice.


    Which meant they should know that my B-rank Clones were independent clones created using little soul energy with the sole purpose of misguiding my enemies, yet they resorted to something so tedious as hunting down my clones one by one could only show that they wanted to erase the slightest possibility of my original body hiding among the 100 B-rank clones and not the three prefect clones captured by the semi-demigods. This showed that whoever was behind this was very cautious and did not mind wasting extra time just to explore and erase even the tiniest possibility of my survival.


    The only enemy of mine that I knew would be willing to go to such lengths was Matron and her Paw n. Knowing that Cole was Matron’s pawn, I was expecting to cross paths with them soon even though they already made arrangements to use the Circle to kill me. That was because Matron’s hatred for the Wyatt family was at such a petty level that she would not believe I wasid to rest unless her pawns had confirmed that with their eyes.


    Another reason why I believe it was Matron’s goons who were hunting my B-rank clones was that Circle already believed that they had trapped my original body and were busy retreating, they did not have time or petty motives to pull something meaningless like this.


    Now that the paw n had shown itself and begun to scrutinize the entire sun blossom city just to erase any possibility of me surviving today I who had grown confident after plundering Mike’s origin card could not help but be cautious, remembering the dread of five card emperors jumping out of the mouth of an empty beast just to kill a lowly card soldier like myself, right in presence of my card emperor security detail.


    Right now the only thing that worried me was my location. I was at the spot where one of my cmity daughter clones was captured. Since the paw n was doing everything in their power to not leave any stone unturned, they will definitely visit this ce to check there was no malpractice involved when the circle’s semi-demigod captured one of my cmity daughter clones here.


    And when they do visit this ce, they will definitely find a rolling pebble as an oddity even if no soul energy could be detected from it. Therefore I had to move out of the sewer as fast as possible but that was almost impossible with my current body unless I made use of a little soul energy. On the ount that my pursuers were very sensitive to soul energy with them being card semi-demigods and all, I was keeping my soul energy usage to a minimum. Hoping that I would be able toe across a sewer rat or any other creature as soon as possible such that I can transform into them, which give me more freedom to use my physical advantages to escape from this city as soon as possible.


    I was so keen on escaping to sky blossom city because only when either of the forces knew that I was under the protection of a demigod or someone with the capability of a demigod would they finally stop hunting me. As unless they want to start a war there was no way for them to send a demigod after me. And at this point in the growth of both the Circle and the Paw n, it was not clear if they had Demigods amidst their ranks. But ording to Clown Mask’s alternate future vision, these two organizations did show numerous demigods in their ranks when one of them took down the government and the other took down two royal families.


    As I continued to reach the exit rolling my pebble body suddenly came to a halt as my spirituality found a distortion in space not far from where I was situated. The origin of the disturbance was a weird-looking floating mask-type creature that I had the opportunity of seeing a while back in the Sky blossom city card stadium. Seeing this creature travel stealthily through the empty space while scrutinizing the sewer tunnels I couldn’t be more proud of my decision to not make use of the soul energy unless it was necessary.


    Soul pupils at its core were my eyes seeing the world through my soul. So though the pebble body I was currently transformed into did not have eyes, I could still use them thanks to my soul and its spirituality. Or rather I could use them more freely in this body than in my original body. Not just soul pupils but also the soul echo, this body was a lot more sensitive to vibration than the ears of my original body.


    As I got used to my new body the soul pupils and soul echo that were part of my cmity soul gem effects seemed to form some kind of synergy and evolved into something more advanced and I called it Soul Radar as with thebination of soul pupils and soul echo I could not only hear the vibration of the surrounding soul pathways but also feel and see them, therefore, this effect mostly made use of the vibration of the soul pathways to map the soul pathways in my surrounding.


    It was hard for me to believe that Soul pupil and Soul echo skills were more suitable for my pebble body than my original body, but considering that in my current state I would be more rtable with a stone elemental than a pebble it made sense. Because a pebble with spirituality was the rough definition of stone elemental.


    Seeing the empty beast scrutinize the sewer tunnel, especially the hole through which my cmity clone burrowed into the sewer I stopped monitoring the empty beast with my spirituality. Since the demigods know when a person calls their name, it only felt reasonable for me to assume that the card emperors and semi-demigods could find out if someone was peeking at them. Therefore shutting all my pebble body senses I yed deadying on the sewer floor motionlessly waiting for the empty beast to leave.<!--
