"Cortney, I am sorry. Because of me, all of us are going to die here!" Bloodette started crying after her efforts to destroy the girl's bloodline turned out to be a waste. 

"What do you mean because of you?" Having been assured by her friend that the situation was not as dire as she thought, Cortney had calmed down.

"If I had not wasted time to peek at the river of souls, we would have had more time at our hands to figure out a working solution. I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Bloodette explained how all of the problems were her fault. 

"You do know that we can abandon the girl and leave the dungeon seal. After the demigod soul descends, it will be trapped in the dungeon seal. We have no obligation to die with a random girl. You did all you could now come out. Let's leave the dungeon seal and come back with help who can deal with a demigod. " Cortney did not believe that her friend had the ability to handle a demigod, but she trusted that the southern emperor should know someone who could. Therefore instead of risking her life for a random person, she chose to retreat and return with bigger guns. 

"What? So I was worried for nothing? Are you saying I risked my life for nothing? Tell me you are kidding. " Hearing Cortney Bloodette was stunned. Soon she felt as if she was being punked. And finally, she was enraged, delayed but blazing hot. Ready to aim at the first person in her sight. 

Not one but two times Bloodette risked her life. Each time it took a lot of courage and guts on her part to do what she had done, knowing her action may lead to her early demise. But for her friends, to save their young lives, she decided to sacrifice her life. 

Yes, she hated being trapped in the dungeon seal, and every minute spent trapped in it was like staring into an empty void that would turn any sane person into a crazy one with every passing second. That did not mean she preferred death over being alive, even if it meant she had to live through the nerve-wracking craziness. In the end, even if she had lost her freedom trapped in the dungeon, at least she had a shiver of hope that one day she would be strong enough to break the dungeon seal and claim her freedom herself. 

"Yes, now come out so we can head out of the dungeon seal." Cortney did realize Bloodette's fury, but she did not care as this was her punishment for Bloodette to try and act the hero. 

"You guys…. " Hearing Cortney's response Bloodette wanted to throw stuff and create a mess to express her anger and gain the attention of her ungrateful friends. But she held in her rage because the demigod was about to descend, and they did not have time for this. 

" Get over it and hurry up, will you." Cortney knew of Bloodette's dissatisfaction, but she did not care. Yes, she was touched that Bloodette was willing to sacrifice her life for her, but how could she continue to live knowing that her life cost her a good friend's life. 

The blood egg connecting to Sarah slowly morphed into a humanoid and pounced on Cortney, yelling, " You guys are doing it on purpose. Do you think it's funny to bully me, or is it because you believe I am too easy to be bullied?" 

The humanoid Bloodetted turned into a blood sheet and wrapped around Cortney. And then a humanoid head extended out of the blood sheet tying around Cortney and glared at her, " Tell me do I look like Mark to you guys?" 

Bloodette wanted to leave this conversation for another time, taking the dire situation into consideration but getting a casual response from her ungrateful friend, she decided to have the conversation right away. And have the things settled asap. 

"Bloodette, get off me." Cortney struggled being taped by Bloodette. 

"What the heck? You guys better empty the cave before the demigod soul descends. Otherwise, you will serve as snacks to him and a distraction to me." I yelled at Cortney and Bloodette. These two gals fought pillow fights at such a dire period. Do they no longer care for their lives? 

"And you, you too are no good. Do I look like a plaything to you? I went out of my way to help you, but then it turned out you did not require any help. I have had it with you 'it's a secret' nonsense." Bloodette yelled in a grievance, remembering how she exhausted herself to find the cause of abnormality in the girl only to know her help was not required. 

"Girl, have you gone mad? Leave here immediately otherwise, I cannot guarantee your lives." Realizing that Bloodette seems to have held in her resentment about our alteration earlier while figuring out what's going on with Sarah. And now, finally, all her accumulated rage has burst out. Unfortunately, the timing couldn't be worse. 

"I don't care. You two should realize that I am not easy to mess with. Until both of you get it, I am not done here." Bloodette seemed to be adamant about proving her point. And it appears she will not leave until we give a reasonable explanation or ask for forgiveness. But seeing the look on Cortney's face, I inferred she did not want to compromise for now or ask for forgiveness. 

"Bloodette, you selfish bitch. First, you try to be the hero, and now you want me to beg for forgiveness because you couldn't act hero. Bitch let's die together." Cortney yelled and stared right back into Bloodette's glare. 

"What the fock? You gals do know that the demigod soul will descend any minute, right?" I cussed, not understanding these two girls' problems. At this moment, I suddenly realized that the saying 'all girls have a nut loss' was true. 

"No shit, it is already here."
