“Leave this to your daughter.” 

Field Marshal’s voice was not loud but it reverberated throughout the vicinity of the dual gate Dungeon. 

With the echo of these words the storm that had formed in the vicinity of the dual gate dungeon slowly receded however the dark clouds still continued to pour heavy rain and loud thunder claps sounded after brilliant lightning flashed by time and again. 

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm This development signified that the World’s will had agreed to the Field Marshal’s request to leave the descent of evil in the vicinity of the dual gate dungeon to her. It was a very rare sight to see the World’s will communicate and respond to a card apprentice in the Physical plane, even rare sight than seeing a card apprentice communicate with the world’s will and get its response in the Spiritual plane.

Getting the approval of the World’s will, Field Marshal Heatsend got back on feet. Then she gazed at the red light curtain carrying the array of bright rune circles and frowned. 

The World’s will had warned the Field Marshal that the red light curtain wasn’t just summoning the dark forces but had connected the surrounding space with the space of the dark realm. 

The array of rune circles on the red light curtain surrounding the dual gate dungeon had morphed into a gate connecting the Card World to the Dark Realm.

According to the World’s Will the only way to rid the gate formed by the array of rune circles on the red light curtain was to annihilate all the devils and their demon army that enter the card world through it. 

Summoning Devils and their demon army was nothing new but connecting the card world to the dark realm through the red light curtain had pissed the World’s Will. 

Field Marshal Heatsend has never seen or heard about Devil Worshipers having such a devil summoning sacrificial ritual. This was the first time Field Marshal had come across a devil summoning sacrificial ritual capable of connecting the card world to the dark realm. 

However, this did not faze the Field Marshal’s confidence, instead it only excited her, she could not wait to kill some devils for good for a change. 

Minutes passed but no devil or demon came out of the gate created by the array of rune circles on the red light curtain surrounding the vicinity of the dual gate dungeon. Field Marshal grew impatient and then her pupils suddenly illuminated like shimmering stars in the night sky as she stared into the red light curtain. 

Seeing what’s on the other side of the gate connecting the card world to the dark realm, the corners of Field Marshal’s mouth arched upside into a smile. Then her intimidating ambiance sweeped into the red light curtain gate as she ordered, “Come out and greet your death.” 

…

“Why are the devil and their demon army not pouring out of the gate,” Ada who was watching the devil summoning sacrificial ritual unfold from afar asked in impatience. 

The devil summoning sacrificial ritual demonstrated by her swarm of card lords was a new ritual that she had recently learned from Arnas particularly for this mission. Arnas hadn’t provided her with much detail about the ritual except for revealing that this ritual was thousand times stronger and more efficient than the one she had been previously using. 

However, so far except for brilliant light works Ada had yet to see the ritual at work, it has been minutes since the necessary sacrifice for the ritual was successfully conducted but so far no devil or a demon had been summoned. 

As someone who has conducted her share of demon summoning, Ada knew that the demons and devils will be thrilled to be summoned to another world and would immediately appear after appropriate sacrifice for the summoning ritual was made. However, right now it was contrary, the devils appeared to be taking their sweet time to get here. 

“Team leader, what’s the hold up? Why are the devils and their demon army being summoned?” Ada asked Arnas through the common secured network using her grimoire. 

“They are afraid,” Arnas’ voice thundered in the secured network, shocking the members of both the teams using the secured network to keep in touch and update about their respective missions.

“What?” Ada asked, feeling she heard Arnas wrong. 

“The reason the devils and their demon army is not pouring out of the gate created by your devil summoning sacrificial ritual is because they are afraid,” Arnas repeated herself with a deeper voice emphasising the seriousness of her words. 

“How can the devils be afraid? What are they afraid of?” Ada asked Arnas in disbelief. 

To Ada who practiced demonic arts devils were akin to godly existence, they were unparalleled and there was no being strong enough to threaten them. So listening to Arnas say that the Devils were afraid of coming to a lower realm was shocking and unbelievable. Therefore she demanded her immediate superior for an explanation. 

“They are afraid of death. To be exact Field Marshal Heatsend. Unlike us the devils can gauge her true strength,” Arnas answered. 

From the way Arnas answered Ada it appeared as if she already accepted something like this to happen and it was within her calculations when she came up with the plans for the mission. 

Listening to Arnas the members of both teams felt goosebumps racing all over their body. They too like Field Marshal Heatsend were Card demigods but it would take a team of them to handle a single devil, that too, with the help of the suppression of the World’s Will. 

Alone, none of them dare to fight a devil. However, in the case of the Field Marshal the devils were afraid of facing her in group of four and hesitating to enter the card world. Just thinking that they would have to go against her next if the devils failed to do the job had them sweating through their clothes. They prayed that it should not come to that.
