"Sure, you have a fancy card, good for you. Let's talk about work now. How about we first take care of the devil and then we can fight over who will get the boy," the vice-captain of the central government team proposed. He was impressed by the time hack card but he would not give the bookworm of Morningstar University satisfaction by showing it.
"Sure but whoever lands the last hit gets to keep the devil's relic, unknown chain item, and its core," the leader of Morningstar University teams agreed but also proposed a wager.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKilling the mohawk devil came first for both factions because neither of them wanted to waste any more of their one-time-use time-related skill cards and the best way to do that would be to kill the mohawk devil with the time rule mastery.
These time cards were precious and expensive as they were created by buying time rule power from the card apprentice who has time rule mastery. There were very few people who attained time rule mastery which resulted in the limited supply and the very high demand for it in the market together leading to the heavenly price of the time rule power.
Time rule power was the most expensive thing across the myriad realms let alone the card world. This was the reason why these time cards were only one-time-use skill cards and not permanent skill cards.
With both the factions joining hands to kill the mohawk devil, thanks to their various capable cards they could easily kill it despite its time rule mastery but after killing it the question of distribution of the loot between the two factions would arise. After all, the loot of the mohawk devil was very attractive.
Especially, its hourglass relic, unknown chain item, and its devil core which contained its time rune. All three of these were very precious items, even equipping one of them would increase these card demigods' strength by leaps and bounds. The devil's time rune in particular.
So it was not a surprise that these demigods would covet them enough to join hands with the enemy and forget about their real priority to kidnap Dalton Wyatt.
"I agree. Let us begin then," The vice-captain thought that his counterpart in Morningstar University's forces made a sound point so he immediately agreed with him.
Or at least that's what he wanted his enemies to think. Because while the demigods of the two factions were busy dealing with the mohawk devil, their teammate Ada would kidnap Wyatt with the help of her origin card, Mobius presence, then leave before anyone realizes what transpired.
"Great, but before we start I think two demigods from each of our forces should stay behind to protect Wyatt. What do you say?" The leader of the Morningstar University forces recommended that two members of each group should stay behind to protect Dalton Wyatt. With this, he unknowingly put up a huge hurdle in his opponent's plans.
"Sure," the vice-captain of the central government team did not let his emotions give him away and calmly agreed to the opponent's recommendation.
'Vice-captain, what do we do now?' one of the demigods mentally asked.
'We proceed with our plan with a slight change. Ada will use one of the SSS-rank items we gave her to ambush and kill demigods of Morningstar Univeristy then kidnap Dalton Wyatt and leave. As for you guys you pretend like you have Wyatt to confuse remaining enemies,' the vice-captain improvised the plan on the spot. Though this one was a lot riskier than the previous one still it was worth a shot.
Leaving two demigods from each of their factions behind to protect Dalton Wyatt, the members of both factions circled the Mohawk devil. Seeing the demigods block all its path the mohawk devil stopped retreating and yelled, "You insects are seeking your death."
"No, we are seeking pork. Say, do you happen to have any pork?" the demigod of the central government faction who insulted the mohawk devil previously insulted the mohawk devil again.

Both the factions though confident in their numbers and cards did not underestimate the devil, its relic, and time rule mastery. They planned to encircle it and slowly kill it.
However, to their surprise the mohawk devil which was attacking the funny demigod suddenly paused and the bulky golden chain starting the huge hourglass relic on its back extended from both ends, long enough for the mohawk devil to use them as whips.
Holding the whips made of the unknown bulky golden chain in each hand, the mohawk devil skillfully used them through his mental strength such that each one of the chain whips skewered through one demigod and then wrapped around another demigod.
The funny demigod and the other three demigods attacking the mohawk devil from behind were either skewered by the chain whip or wrapped in it, rendering all four of them immobile.
The mohawk devil used two chain whips to take down three demigod attackers and its demigod prey in a blink of an eye. Seeing this the rest of the demigods were shocked. What was more shocking was that the speed of the chain whips, it was as if they were traveling through time. And they were, by making use of the leaked time rule power the chain absorbed earlier from the mohawk devil and the hourglass relic.
"Not so funny now are we," the mohawk devil scoffed looking at the demigod who insulted it repeatedly. Then it added, "You are lucky. Normally, I would show the meaning of hell to those that dare to insult me but today I do not have the luxury so I will give you and your friends a painless death. Sacrifice."
With the command of the mohawk devil, the chain whip began to absorb the vitality of all four demigods, shocking the remaining demigods who could only watch as their comrades died in front of their eyes.
