Wyatt had very little knowledge of the rule source, he didn't actively seek information about it knowing that he lacked both the strength and means to locate the rule source and enter it. After learning about rule slaves, Wyatt understood some things one cannot overreach for or it might cost one everything.
Such was the case of the rule slaves. These people overestimated themselves, they either lacked rule affinity to understand the mysteries of the rule source or lacked the strength to fight the rule slaves guarding the source. There was a lesson to learn in all of the rules.
"Didn't I tell you, I have been to the Blood Rule Source before?" Bloodette responded, it appeared that was all the explanation she was planning to give on that matter.
"You encountered blood rule slaves during your visit and the Blood Rule Stream informed you about them," Wyatt guessed, to which Bloodette nodded in agreement and added, "I had no idea that trying to comprehend blood rule at source would spell such a disaster. Fortunately, the Blood Rule Stream acted and masked my breath with its in time otherwise, I would have joined the ranks of Blood Rule Slaves."
With his soul pupils, Wyatt learned that Blood Rule Stream had not descended in Bloodette's body but merely used it as a key to open the gate to the Blood Rule Source. Before proceeding to open the gate, the Blood Rule Stream glanced at Wyatt with Bloodette's sanguine eyes before resuming its purpose.
Soon the blood rock cave began to drip liquid blood rule which gathered at Bloodette's foot, forming a puddle of liquid blood rule. The puddle was 6ft in diameter and a few inches deep. Soon the puddle froze reflecting the reflections of Bloodette and Wyatt. Then suddenly the reflection on the frozen puddle morphed to reveal a scarlet world. Ignoring the background, Wyatt focused on the sleeping figure in the front, it was Cortney. Expect for her deep sleep she appeared to be fine.
"Cortney," Bloodette's sudden shout awakened Wyatt from his contemplation.
"Last chance, Wyatt, you can still choose to stay back," Bloodette reminded Wyatt glancing at peacefully asleep Cortney.
"It doesn't appear that intimidating," Wyatt said looking into the gate.
"Not intimidating, huh? The gate is not open yet, there is a thin barrier stopping the mysteries of the blood source leaking into the dungeon seal," Bloodette rolled her eyes listening to Wyatt underestimate the Blood Rule Source.
"Ah, I see, the barrier is for my protection," Wyatt scratched the back of his head not knowing how else he could assure Bloodette that she did not have to worry about him losing himself to the mysteries of the Blood Rule Source.
"Yes, it is," Bloodette's worries were not unfounded because she knew the limits of a mortal. If not for worrying about Wyatt she would have rushed to Cortney's side.
"Aren't you sweet but let us not keep Cortney waiting," Wyatt looked at Bloodette with warm eyes, feeling his efforts to help her were not a waste. Then with a subtle smile, he declared, " Let us go bring Cortney home."
"Yes, let us bring Cortney back," Bloodette too declared and finally removed the thin barrier between them and the Blood Rule Source. As soon as the barrier vanished both Bloodette and Wyatt instead of entering the gate fell on the floor of the Blood Rock cave.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
