After arranging the Calamity Daughter gems, I found myself a comfortable spot and entered the one with the world state. As usual, entering the world's womb in the spiritual plane, I was greeted by numerous energy streams surrounding me. I used my mastery of the Blood rule once again to find the fat stream of the Blood rule.
Previously I ended the one with the world state to learn how to forge runes. Now that I have returned with the knowledge to forge the runes, I knew that my mastery of the blood rule's meaning 'fate plunder' wasn't sufficient enough to form a rune of it. I had decided to heed Anna's advice and increase my comprehension of the blood rule's meaning, and once I fully understand the meaning, I will consider forging a rune.
Currently, I have Advanced Mastery in Blood rule and Intermediate Mastery in the meaning of 'Fate Plunder.' According to the grimoire, this level of mastery in the rule and its meaning is enough to create a basic rune, but what I learned from Luna and Anna told me that even though my mastery is enough, my understanding is not enough and forging rune with my current understanding of meaning 'fate plunder' will only create a half-assed rune with way too many flaws.
Therefore without hesitation, I decided to dive into the bloodstream along with my three slave consciousness and continue my comprehension into blood rule's meaning 'fate plunder.' Let's hope that advanced mastery will give me a little inside into what actually is the ability of the meaning of 'fate plunder.'
Heading into the meaning 'fate plunder,' I once again witnessed the mystic of the meaning waiting right there for me to unravel it and dig out its most profound secrets and explore all the infinite possibilities of it. I was going to uncover all of its secrets even if it meant I had to demolish it brick by brick bare to its origin and scrutinize it. And that's what I did.
As my comprehension of the meaning continued and went deeper into the mystic, I started to see the meaning in a different light. It was no longer a vast mystery waiting for me to be uncovered. Instead, it began to appear like one huge question made up of many tiny questions. And that's when I knew that if I were to find answers to these questions, then my mastery of the meaning would advance, and I would have a newfound understanding of the blood rule's meaning, 'fate plunder.'
Answering these tiny questions was like untying small knots at a time. Some were harder to undo than others, but I did not give up or omit them. I persisted to the end and undid them one by one. With every knot I untied, I would gain a little insight into the meaning, 'fate plunder.' With every insight, my curiosity into the meaning would increase, and I would get enthused to untie another and go on.
Finally, the long-awaited notification sound of the grimoire sounded, giving me a break from the intense speed run into the compression of blood rule,
[Intermediate mastery of blood rule's meaning 'fate plunder' has advanced to Advanced Mastery.
Note: please increase your mastery for further information.]
With the grimoire announcement of my advancement to advance mastery in blood rule's meaning 'fate plunder', my understanding of the meaning had reached a new height, and now I knew what the ability of this particular meaning was.
*gasp* Knowing what the meaning I comprehend is capable of, I could help but gasp in fright. The ability of the blood rule's meaning 'fate plunder' gave me a scare. I couldn't help but shudder to imagine this meaning in the wrong hands like the Circle's supreme leader, Sansa Baylor.
The ability of the 'fate plunder' is very outrageous and horrible. It is so dreadful that even I am having second thoughts about forging a rune using this meaning. This meaning possessed the power I was searching for in order to lead a chill life. But for some reason, I had a feeling that if I forged a rune using this meaning, my life would be bound never to be peaceful again.
This blood rule's meaning is giving me real bad vibes enough to abandon comprehending it here. But if I were to do that, I would have to abandon the entire blood rule. Because without gaining complete mastery in this particular meaning, I could not switch to other blood rule's meanings.
I did not mind giving up on the Blood rule as I had a lot of other rules to choose from, but here in the blood rule, I had found a hint to unlocking the third form of my calamity soul gem's transformation skill's third form. So if I decided to abandon the blood rule, it would also mean I would be abandoning my calamity soul gem's transformation skill. The transformation skill is one of the few skills I could share with my Calamity daughter gems. Giving up on it would decrease my strength by a lot and would be considered idiotic on my part.
This skill was also the trump card of the daughter gems. It made up for their other lacking areas in terms of strength and physical prowess. Not to mention that after the third form of the transformation, there were still fourth and fifth forms to the skill. Abandoning the blood rule meant me giving up such a sweet skill that could drastically increase its user's physical prowess with negligible side effects. Plus, the blood rule's meaning 'fate plunder' also had powerful abilities which could be of a lot of help to me in my fight against the supreme leader and the Matron.. My enemies had armies of capable and powerful card apprentices, not to mention the paw clan was entirely composed of Card emperors and semi demigods. How am I supposed to fight such guys if I give up on formidable trump cards, like the transformation skill of the calamity soul gem?
