Just as the mountain golem’s egg form of the summon integrated Nick was descending to the ground, in the mid-air a few figures appeared in its path, they all were oozing the breath of a card lord, these figures seemed to be planning to intercept the free-falling mountain in mid-air.

These figures were none other than the group of card lords that the Commissioner sensed hiding behind the mob of a hundred thousand delinquents. They were also the source of the late Travis and his fellow gang leader’s confidence, giving them the courage to blatantly disrespect the Sky blossom city’s police department’s commissioner and the police chiefs.

The enemy card lords showed themselves because they knew that the impact of summon-integrated Nick would kill more than half of the delinquents they had gathered. So they had no choice but to show themselves to intercept summon-integrated Nick’s Meteorite Jump.

However, the enemy card lords weren’t the only ones watching out for their juniors. Behind the city borders up in the sky, a fine gold floater hovered and on its deck, the leaders of the Fine Gold, TSR guild, and the Tiger squadron could be seen monitoring the progress of the fight down below.

“I will take care of this,” Old Ben said as he prepared to use viltronian flight to get to the enemy card lords.

“I will tag along,” Diana volunteered but was immediately rejected by Old Ben, ” Miss Diana, I know you want to help but this old man can handle this.”

Without waiting for Diana to argue Old Ben took off from the deck of the floater yelling, “Hybrid Rune: Blood Ignition, activate.”

Diana prepared to go help Old Ben regardless of his rejection because there were almost a dozen of enemy card lords but was stopped by Van who said, “Sit back and enjoy the show.”

“…” Diana frowned, she did not understand what gave Old Ben and Van the confidence that Old Ben could face a dozen enemy card lords all alone. Diana had seen them fight in the sun blossom city but she could not judge their strength back then because she was busy defending against Mark’s never-ending skeleton dragon clone army. She knew they were capable and strong however she was not sure if Old Ben was capable enough to take on a dozen card lords by himself. Still, she decided to trust the two for once because their young boss seemed to value the two a lot.

Then when she focused her gaze on Old Ben who was advancing toward the enemy at an insane speed she found his skin had turned red and red vapors were oozing from his body resembling the steam from boiling water. She had seen him do something similar at the sun blossom city fight but back then the vapors oozing from his body were not this intense and the redness of his skin was also lighter than present. It seems Old Ben had gained higher achievement in rule power.

Diana’s speculation was right Old Ben had indeed gained a higher achievement in his rule power, he had created a hybrid rune Blood Ignition using his ultimate tier Boiling Blood rune of blood rule and ultimate tier Ignite rune of fire rule.

[Rune Name: Ignite

Rune Tire: Ultimate

Ignite also allows the user to ignite the soul power of inanimate objects or beings with lesser mental strength than themselves. Which could be used to ignite the target’s soul pathways resulting in the explosion of the target.

Caution: Please refrain from using Ignite on oneself when the soul energy is low, you may end up igniting your soul pathways.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Note: The user can also ignite the soul pathway of targets with higher mental strength with their permission, providing them the explosive power and speed of the rune.]

[Rune Name: Blood Ignition

Rune Tier: Hybrid

Rune Rule: Fire and Blood

pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ

Rune Info: The blood ignition rune is a hybrid rune forged by fusing the Boiling blood meaning of the blood rule and Ignite meaning of the fire rule.

Blood Ignition allows the user to ignite their boiling blood rune, explosively increasing the effects of their boiling blood rune.

Caution: Igniting the Boiling blood rune will not only explosively increase its status buff but also madness debuff. Igniting the boiling blood rune to the fullest will lead to permanent madness debuff. ]

Permanent madness debuff was enough to scare off any card apprentice from ever using this hybrid rune but not Old Ben because this hybrid rune was a perfect match with his origin card’s side effect. Old Ben’s origin card, Emotion Olfactory Lobe, allowed him to smell other’s emotions at a cost which was Emotion paralysis.

This side effect of Old Ben’s origin card was a safety mechanism of his origin card such that Old Ben’s mind would not be influenced by constantly smelling various emotions of those surrounding him and undergoing something called emotion overload. However, this also became a perfect safety mechanism for Old Ben against his new hybrid rune’s permanent madness debuff.

Thanks to his origin card’s emotion paralysis effect, Old Ben could use his hybrid rune to the fullest without worrying about its side effects. When Boiling blood rune was used to its fullest it gaves Old Ben a 1000 percent boost to all his states but when used under the effect of the hybrid rune this boost increased exponentially.

Under the effect of the Blood ignition hybrid rune Old Ben reached the enemy card lords at an insane speed and in a blink of an eye, he ignite each of their soul pathways before they could react or counter, soon they explode in the sky like fireworks. Old Ben’s figure flashed again as he collected their grimoires, then he land back on the deck of the Fine Gold floater. His skin color had returned to normal and his body was no longer oozing steam of blood vapors.

As Old Ben landed next to them, Diana and Cindy looked at him in awe, despite being card lords their sights had barely registered what just happened. They saw Old Ben’s figure flash by the enemy card lords twice, once before they explode and later as he collected their grimoires. Both Diana and Cindy did not understand why someone with such monstrous strength was working under a teenager. Then they nodded their heads hearing Van comment, “Show off.”

…

Boom! The dust covered the sky as the 150 meters wide mountain collided with the ground leading to an earthquake of large magnitude covering a small area.

Despite the mob scattering beforehand the impact of the summon integrated Nick’s meteorite jump had managed to dwindle their numbers by half. Because when the 150 meters wide mountain collided with the ground a large-scale landslide occurred. The landslide spread to the surroundings of the area of impact and buried everything in its path 10 feet deep. The impact of 150 meters wide meteorite was devastating, the damage would be on a larger scale if the height from which it descend was greater than 3000 meters high.

“ROAR!!” Summon integrated Nick then morphed from egg form to humanoid form and let out a thunderous roar. Then immediately he began to grab huge chunks of the ground, asphalt road, and throw them at the delinquents escaping in their hoverbikes, cars, taxis, and bus. Except for the few at the front of the mob and the end of the mob almost all of them were crushed by the meteorite jump or either buried in the landslide that followed.

Under the impact of the meteorite jump, the dust covered the entire area, those at the front of the mob may have managed to survive the landslide caused by the impact but they were blinded by the fog of dust covering the place. So they did not notice that the hundred 110 meters tall mud puppets came together to form a 110 meters tall thousand metes wide landslide which very much resembled a tsunami of mud. The mud tsunami swept away all of the delinquents and continue to advance toward the delinquents at the back who were running for their lives in their modified hover bikes and cars. As the mud tsunami advanced its speed did not slow down as it was using the mud sliding technique to keep advancing and swallowing everything in its path, except one, summon integrated Nick. It was not that the mud tsunami was avoiding the friendly but summon integrated Nick was 180 meters tall, to him the mud tsunami was like a mud wave similar to the waves of the ocean at the beach.

Vivian, her army, and summon-integrated Ed who were following behind the mud tsunami did not stop their advance despite summon-integrated Nick and Tom having annihilated most of the enemies. While the remaining enemies were being pursued by a speeding mud tsunami and large chucks of the ground raining from the sky. Vivian and Ed were pissed at Nick and Tom for hogging all the fun. But they could do nothing about it however to their surprise the huge hands of summon integrated Nick picked Vivian’s giant fairy guards and began to throw them at the escaping delinquents. Seeing giants rain from the sky, the escaping enemies suddenly lost all hope of escaping this place alive.

Behind the city borderline, the commissioner sighed and asked Denise, “Chief Denise is your nephew really the leader of these monsters?”
