'What the f.u.c.k is going on?' Wyatt yelled in his mind as his body had fallen asleep.

When Bloodette removed the barrier, a thin wave of soul energy entered the blood rock cave along with thick and pure blood rule energy, was.h.i.+ng over Bloodette and Wyatt who stood right in front of the gate.

As soon as the ominous soul energy touched them both Wyatt and Bloodette instantly fell asleep. Well in Wyatt's case, only his physical body fell asleep while his spiritual body was saved by the sh.e.l.l of the dungeon calamity seed covering his calamity soul gem.

Bloodette had fallen into a deep sleep, similar to the one that Cortney was in. His spiritual body tried to awaken Bloodette in all ways possible but she was not responding to any of them. Wyatt immediately concluded that Cortney had not slept for days without any reason she had run into an unknown trouble. Wyatt too would have completely fallen prey to whatever was affecting her like Bloodette if not for his mutated ego gem. So he did not dare to step into the gate to fetch Cortney without fully grasping the situation.

Praising himself for using the cover of the dungeon calamity seed to create his viltronian core and then ego gem, Wyatt's spiritual body gazed into the gate trying to gauge the situation. This time he focused on the background instead of the asleep Cortney. But all he saw was a world in various shades of red. Considering this was the Blood Rule Source Wyatt guessed, 'Red represents the Blood Rule and each of its shades represents its different meanings.'

Even with different shades, it would be hard for the naked eye to differentiate things in the red world from outside but fortunately for Wyatt, he had Soul Pupils. Using them to scan the background carefully, he found various red creatures were asleep along with Cortney in that area, Wyatt did not notice them earlier with the red landscape masking them. Wyatt wondered if these were the so-called Blood Rule Slaves that Bloodette warned him about.

Unlike Cortney who had fallen asleep haphazardly, as if she was thrown there, the asleep red creatures looked like they had fallen asleep heading in a certain direction. Wyatt wondered if that was the direction where the ominous soul energy was coming from. If these creatures were the Blood Rule Slaves as he guessed then as the guardians of the Blood Rule Source they should be trying to remove the anomaly responsible for the ominous soul energy that was causing everyone it touched to fall asleep.

By the position where the blood-red creatures had fallen asleep, Wyatt guessed that not all of them were of the same strength. He guessed the creatures that were able to fall further in the direction from where the ominous soul energy was coming from were the strongest and those behind were weaker.

Regardless, seeing the source of the ominous soul energy was nowhere in sight Wyatt believed that it was far away from the gate. Since he had no idea when the gate to the Blood Rule Source would close, Wyatt planned to enter it and retrieve Cortney at the fastest pace his spiritual body could.

Navigating the surroundings of Cortney for one last time from the other side of the gate and finding that there was no threat in sight as the ominous soul energy in the atmosphere was putting all the rule slaves in deep sleep, Wyatt prepared to retrieve Cortney.

Wyatt could not help but sigh thinking maybe Cortney was lucky that she felt here of all the places in the Blood Rule Source. Thanks to the ominous soul energy she had instantly fallen asleep otherwise ignorant of where she was she would have tried using soul energy or comprehending blood rule. As a result, she would become the target of the Blood Rule Slave's wrath and ultimately die before Bloodette and he could come to her rescue.

Shaking his head, Wyatt's spiritual body stepped into the Blood Rule Source and felt the embrace of blood rule. As someone who was comprehending blood rule, Wyatt felt like a thirsty person who had found an oasis in the middle of a desert. However constrained by time and fear of the unknown, Wyatt did not dare waste time thinking of what not. Nearing Cortney's body, he mobilized his celestial energy to carry Cortney. Then he hurried back to the gate.

However, Wyatt soon felt an ominous presence gain on him from behind. Knowing that he could not reach the gate before the unknown presence caught up to him, he used his celestial force to launch asleep Cortney into the gate.

Wyatt could have chosen to launch both of them into the gate but then neither of them would have managed to enter the gate as the unknown presence was gaining on them that fast. Doing simple math he knew, that to increase the speed he had to reduce the load. So Wyatt chose to stay behind and send Cortney through the gate while using his celestial force to coc.o.o.n him bracing for the impact of the unknown presence

"Futile effort," Wyatt heard a majestic voice from his behind. With no option, he turned to face an unknown presence to find a giant blood fog shaped like a serpent with three pairs of huge bat wings.

Glancing into the glowing eyes of the majestic presence Wyatt immediately knew what it was

"Interesting, for a mortal, this one seems to be immune to my innate ability," the blood fog serpent's words interrupted Wyatt's train of thought.

"Don't tell me there are more beings like that devil," the blood fog serpent continued to mutter to itself aloud.

"No, this one is different from that one," blood fog serpent's glowing eyes scanned Wyatt's spiritual body from head to toe. then it addressed him asking, "Mortal, tell me what is your kind?"

"Esteemed Elder Anesthesia Dragon, I am a human," Wyatt answered
