“What the…,” Carrying a block of ice encasing a human-sized egg made of molten flesh and blood Colleen rushed to the outskirts of the city to find two giants fighting. She immediately identified the two giants as Agent Lois and her granddaughter’s useless fiance. She had only gone for a few minutes but the battle outside had progressed to the point where she found it beyond her comprehension. Where had demigod Backster and Ann gone? And why was a card soldier oozing the power of a demigod?
“I smell a devil,” Colleen muttered and turn to look in the direction where she smelled the presence of a devil only to find badly wounded fusion Anna/Ann lying in the embrace of the boy on whose left shoulder stood a jet-black monster worm, devil in disguise.
It did not take long for Colleen to figure out that the boy was oozing the power of a demigod because he had made some kind of deal with the devil to borrow its power to save Anna. Coming to this realization Colleen’s first reaction was the joy that her granddaughter had found someone willing to sacrifice themselves for her but soon it was replaced with rage and she vanished to appear behind the boy freezing the jet-black monster worm on his shoulder into a block of ice. Then she shattered it into ice shavings.
“Grandma,” Anna/Ann uttered in surprise at Colleen’s arrival.
“Well aren’t you enjoying your time,” Colleen mocked her granddaughter for not knowing the place and time for romance and asked, “Where is Backster? I need his ability for interrogation.”
“About that…” Anna/Ann did not know how to answer her grandma that they not only failed but also required the target of their protection to protect them. If it was someone else, Anna/Ann would not bother with such a silly dilemma but it was their grandma, the only person that Anna cared to prove to.
“Girl, don’t waste my time. They have your cousin Luna,” Colleen asked Anna to not waste time informing her that the attackers had also kidnapped Luna.
“Aaarh,” Anna/Ann screamed in pain as they separated back into two separate individuals. This process was a gruesome scene, unlike their fusion process. Because the damage they suffered would be inflicted on both their bodies. Had it been a complete fusion, wounds of this range wouldn’t have been a problem for them and healed within seconds. They did not want to show such sight to their lover so they did not separate before and chose to powerlessly lay in his embrace. But now that they heard that the culprits had kidnapped Luna they had reached a decisive decision.
Being separated from Anna, Ann immediately said, “Grandma, that semi-demigod with legendary physique teleported Demigod Backster and Baylor to some place, I haven’t seen or heard from him since then.”
“Useless buffon, how could he be trapped by a semi-demigod? I blame my luck,” Colleen did not hesitate to call demigod Backster buffon for being trapped by a semi-demigod.
“I have an idea where Lois might have teleported them,” the boy suddenly spoke surprising Ann, Anna, and Colleen but they held back their surprise as the boy continued to say, “Send a text to them informing them that their body has been compressed and transferred into the mid-section of their spiritual channel. To get out all they have to do is command their spiritual channel to send them out. That should do.”
Finding that the boy not only knew where Lois had teleported the two demigods to but also knew how to get out of there Anna immediately hugged him and prepared to kiss him but she was stopped by him saying, “Orignal body gets jealous easily.”
Hearing the clone of the boy Anna was dumbfounded but immediately said, “Fine, I will save this kiss for him.”
“Girl, stop flirting and heal yourself,” Colleen threw a high-grade potion at her granddaughter asking her to have some restrain and heal her body.
“I have sent the text to demigod Backster,” Ann informed and took the potion her grandma passed to her and began to heal herself.
“I do not have time to deal with you. Come let’s find a quiet place to interrogate the perp I caught,” saying that Colleen prepared to leave but she paused and turned to look at the boy’s clone and said, “I trust that you know what you are doing.”
In response to Colleen’s words, the boy’s clone nodded. Finding the boy’s nod genuine Colleen nodded before vanishing with Backster following behind her.
“Well, my grandma seems to like you. This is the first time she has so openly shown her approval to one of my lovers,” Anna said to her lover’s clone who turned to look at her and said, “Demigod Baylor is missing.”
“I did not share the information with him, we can deal with him later,” Ann informed that she had only sent the text to demigod Backster and not demigod Baylor.
“No, I mean Demigod Baylor has already left,” the boy’s clone said unable to find Demigod Baylor’s spiritual channel’s end in the physical plane.
If Demigod Baylor was still trapped in his spiritual channel then the clone should be able to find Baylor’s spiritual channel’s end in the physical plane in the surrounding vicinity where Demigod Backster appeared but he did not. This could only mean that Demigod Baylor had freed himself long ago and had escaped or was in hiding somewhere.
Ann and Anna did not bother to ask why the boy was so sure that demigod Baylor had escaped Lois’s trap instead they believed in him and Ann shared the information with her grandma’s grimoire.
But then a Jet-black monster worm appeared on the Clone’s shoulder and said, “I thought she would never leave.”
