An invisible pressure formed on the minds and hearts of Cervos and Adriene. It was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper was hanging over their heads. They could feel the coldness of the scythe's blade on their skin. They stared at Corey in utter shock as they could not understand how someone so weak and defenseless could give them such a feeling. No matter how they tried to deduce the situation they could not figure out what the grim warning they kept getting from her was. Cervos and Adriene's instincts were right Corey was weak, too weak compared to their strength. However, the sense of foreboding they were getting was not from her but from the white snake bangle she had worn on her left wrist. Unfortunately, the difference in strength between them and little Beam was leagues apart so they could not pinpoint her. If not for Beam controlling her aura out of consideration for the city below being instructed by Corey, then most of those gathered at the edge of the void would have fallen unconscious unable to withstand her insane sinister aura, and plummeted to their deaths. These people had no idea how lucky they were. The people they considered their enemies were actually unknowingly looking out for them. Seeing the sudden retreat of Cervos and Adriene with the arrival of Corey, the onlookers frowned. They did not know what about Corey could cause Cervos and Adriene, the two of the most powerful people among their generations to retreat. Clearly, it wasn't her realm. So, the crowd was puzzled by their reaction and many among them grew curious about Corey. "You had to involve me with you guys, huh," Corey said causally walking next to Corey and Aurelia. "What do you mean involve, you are our gang leader," Aurelia responded with a cunning smile. Knowing Corey was weak to flattery, unlike their boss. In name, the Bright trio were the leaders of the Bright Lions but in strength, Corey was the gang leader of the Bright Lions. "You have grown stronger," Corey said being reminded by Park. She liked to pretend to be smart in front of the gang members using Park's knowledge. Sometimes she did not even bother to change words and would just narrate what Park said word for word. "Obviously, I have a new set of cards," Aurelia replied moving the wind in the surroundings. "No, I am not talking about the cards. It's your soul and physique, they have grown stronger. Making your presence more dominant. Did you by any chance evolve your physique? How did you achieve that? I don't see any change in your realm," Corey asked what Park wanted to know having noticed the change in Aurelia's energy signature. "Ohoh, you noticed it, did you? I am not supposed to go into detail about it but it is the result of our boss's reward. Impressed by my dedication and work ethic he helped me grow stronger," Aurelia bragged with a haughty laugh. "Wyatt, did?" Jaya asked in shock. "When did you meet Wyatt?" Corey enquired finding it surprising that Wyatt took time from his busy schedule to reward Aurelia. Listening to Corey, Jaya and Aurelia looked at her in disdain conveying, 'Which rock are you living under?' After all, Wyatt's visit to the city's orphanage was so huge that the entire Southern region was fuzzing about. Even snobby kids from the Southern Capital came to the city to clamor about the incident. They found it surprising that Corey who lived in the city had no idea about it. "Are you two itching for a beating?" Corey threatened, however to her surprise both Jaya and Aurelia did not back down. "Bring it, with my wind control I think I can face you flames now," Aurelia said while Jaya confessed, "Just so you two know, I have forged my ego gem, it's a mutated one and came with a unique trait."
"Congratulations!" "Thank you, guys!" Aurelia and Corey congratulated Jaya together feeling happy for her. However, neither of the three had forgotten about their rivalry. Their expressions switched faster than the wind. "I haven't seen you two for a day or two and you guys have already developed a rebellious mind. Come, let me change that," Corey declared exerting her realm pressure on Aurelia and Jaya. It was decent, it could render an average card lord motionless but not the likes of Cervos, Adriene, JJ, Aria, and the other faction leaders in the crowd. "What the heck? She is nothing special."
"Seeing Cervos and Adriene's reaction I thought she was strong but this is nothing." "What is wrong with those two to retreat from someone so weak?" "This is disappointing. Boo!"
"Were they tricked or what?" "If they were tricked, I feel ashamed for them."
"Finish them already!"
"I am bored." Having gained a clear understanding of the strength of the three country girls, the crown began to clamor asking Cervos to finish what he started. After all, it was he who wanted to capture Jaya, unfolding the following events.
"Am I mistaken? Or is that girl purposefully hiding her strength to lure Cervos and others?" Adriene muttered to herself. Every fiber of her being screamed danger as she activated her origin while in the immediate vicinity of the country girl. Even her father and relatives who were powerful demigods did not give her such feeling but some random country girl did. So Adriene felt it was best if she stayed out of this. But, she could not help but ponder what if she mistook, the country girl wasn't hiding her strength— then all three of the girls would die at the hands of Cervos. Therefore, Adriene could not bring herself to sit this one out and monitored Cervos to respond based on his reaction. "To heck with this!" Cervos screamed feeling provoked and rushed by the crowd's words. Then, he decided to attack as planned willing to risk it. His realm once again began to rise sharply reaching Card Emperor realm and then he chanted aloud, "Corpse Summoning: Nine-winged devil dragon!" "Corpse Puppetry: Corpse Possession!"
