Location- Sky Blossom City, Dungeon Highway, Barren Lands, Blood Rock Cave Gate Dungeon

I had exited the meditative state to experiment and play around with my first Ultra rune. But Cortney and the rest of my calamity daughter gems were in a deep meditative state. Therefore my plans of testing my new abilities had met a road bump as I required Van's help to enter an A-rank dungeon to find monsters to try my ultra rune on them. And also, I did not want to ditch Cortney, so I had no choice but to wait for now. But Bloodette's gaze that constantly lingered on me as if I were a piece of meat made me regret my choice of waiting for Cortney.

"Damn it, Bloodette. Will you stop staring at me with your mouth-watering?" I let out a cry in frustration.

Bloodette's current state reminded me of my dog eyeing the food on my kitchen counter back on earth. The dog wants to steal the food on the counter, but it's controlling itself from doing so. The dog showed self-control because I was right there, and Bloodette showed self-control because she thought of me as a friend. Even though the ideas behind self-control shown by Bloodette and my dog are different, I can see the same mixed expression of desire and hesitation on both their faces.

"Yes." Bloodette yelled, snapping out of her daze, and then slapped both her cheeks, thinking, 'Wyatt is a friend, not food!'

*sigh* letting it a sigh, I shook my head, seeing Bloodette slap herself. That's when I understood that Bloodette must be more uncomfortable than me trying to suppress the urges that came naturally to her. Here is was complaining about feeling uncomfortable with Bloodette's gaze when Bloodette was changing her natural self to be a better friend to me. I felt small in front of Bloodette's big heart.

I do not know what Bloodette went through to deviate from her predecessor's blood-thirsty ways to her current cuddly teddy bear ways. Therefore I decided not to make Bloodette worse about herself for the natural feelings that came to her and help her feel good for trying to suppress her natural urges to be a good friend.

"Bloodette, do you have some Clone skills on you?" Yeah, I decided to keep ourselves occupied by testing if my Fate Plunder ultra rune worked on Clones.

"Yes, I do. But do not use it because I have better stand-in skills, like Blood Avatar and Blood Incarnation. Why do you ask?" Bloodette replied without giving it much thought? She was an open book and did not know the word privacy. You ask her anything about her, and she will answer to the best of her knowledge. I think Cortney should have had a talk about this with Bloodette, yet she spoke so openly to me because we were friends.

"I want to test the ability of my new rune. And aren't Avatar and incarnation the same?" I planned to keep my new rune abilities private, but Bloodette's innocence infected me. So I decided to involve Bloodette in my experimentation.

I cannot directly use my ultra rune on Bloodette because she is of card overlord realm and the maximum authority of my rune is only up to the realm of my golden grimoire, the card lord realm. Therefore I decided to see if I could use my rune on clones instead. Fortunately, Bloodette had Blood Avatars and Incarnations which is way better than mere blood clone skills that I was looking for.

"Oh really! Great, tell me what I have to do?" Hearing it had something to do with the new rune I forged, Bloodette agreed to my request with great enthusiasm because she wanted to know what kind of Blood rule meaning would make her go crazy and think of one of her friends as food. She felt by participating in my experimentation, she could gain some insight into the meaning I have comprehended. Then she can use that insight to comprehend that particular meaning by herself so that her friend does not seem appetizing anymore.

"Before that, could you explain to me what a Blood Avatar, Blood incarnation is, and the difference between them." In excitement, Bloodette had forgotten to explain to me the difference between an incarnation and an avatar. I had a hard time understanding the difference between the two skills. After all, in the dictionary, they are the same.

"A Blood Avatar is a high-level Blood clone ability where I can create Clones of myself using condensed rule power and bestow them with an ego of myself. This ego possesses all the skills and knowledge I own and has the ability to act independently without my instructions but will never go against my interest.

A Blood Incarnation is an ability where I bestow ego to the conjured Blood rule power and then have it possess a living being. Then that living being under the influence of my ego will become my incarnation. The ego here also has all my abilities and knowledge. I can act independently and will cross my interests. I have never tried Blood incarnation, so I can give more info on whether the living being influenced by my ego will retain its will or not. " Bloodette explained the abilities of the skills Blood incarnation and Blood avatar. Since Bloodette is mostly stuck in the blood rock cave dungeon, she never got the chance to create a blood incarnation.

"Both of them are fantastic skills. For now, Blood Avatar will do for my experimentation. What is the maximum and minimum realm of the Blood avatar you can create?" Clones are always weaker than the original body, so I hoped that Bloodette's blood avatar was of the lower realm so that it could fit the criteria for experimentation.

"My proficiency in this skill is very high. Therefore, I can create as many as blood avatars possessing the strength up to my current realm. How many Blood avatars should I create and of what realm?" Hearing Bloodette give me a positive answer. I was overjoyed because I did not have to wait for others to awaken any longer and could directly begin experimentation of my ultra rune.
