“Now that we have solved the mystery of your mutated ego gem. Next, we should deduce the skills of your innate rune, ‘Blood Supreme.’ Try using it.” I asked Cortney to use her innate rune to see the difference between a normal rune and an innate rune.

“Okay, how do I use it?” Cortney asked, agreeing to my request.

“Find the innate rune in your ego gem and show your intent to use it. Feeling your intent, the rune will activate just like using cards.” I explained based on my experience with the broken runes.

“Uh, Huh.” nodding in agreement, Cortney began channeling her focus into her ego gem.

Soon Cortney’s skin turned red just like before when Bloodette had possessed her using the blood rule meaning ‘blood possession.’ Cortney opened her eyes, showing her morphed black sclera and red pupils.

“…” Soon, Bloodette and Cortney reacted and turned to stare at each other. Both Bloodette and Cortney had confused looks on their faces.

“Bloodette, are you also feeling a connection between the two of us?” Cortney asked Bloodette as she gazed at her dearly.

“Yes. I, too, feel a mysterious connection between the two of us. What is this mystical feeling? It’s as if you are the other half that I have been missing my whole life.” Bloodette also felt the connection that Cortney felt between the two of them.

” I have the similar feeling as if you are the other half that will finally complete me.” Cortney agreed with Bloodette, expressing that she felt the same as Bloodette.

“I feel the connection is pulling me towards you. The pull is getting stronger with my resistance.” Bloodette felt an invisible pull from the connection between Cortney and her. Not knowing what this unknown connection is, Bloodette subconsciously resisted it.

“Really? Stop resisting. Let’s see what happens.” Cortney advised Bloodette to stop resisting the call of the connection between them.

“Okay, if you say so.” Bloodette hesitated but soon, she agreed with Cortney’s advice and stopped resisting the pull from the mysterious connection between the two.

“…” As Bloodette stopped resisting the, I saw Bloodette morph from her humanoid form into liquid and directly enter Cortney’s body through her orifice. After that, Cortney’s red skin and morphed eyes turned to normal.

“Did I just swallow, Bloodette?” Cortney yelled in panic after feeling her strength rise as her orifice swallowed liquid Bloodette. If Bloodette just possessed her similar to previous possession, then her skin and pupils should have remained red. But they turned to normal after swallowing Bloodette. Therefore Cortney felt that she had swallowed Bloodette for good this time.

“…” Seeing the changes in Cortney, I also began to suspect the same as her. After all, the innate rune was called blood supreme.

“Bloodette! Bloodette! Answer me,” Cortney yells hysterically, trying to get a response from Bloodette.

‘Oh, shit’ was my first thought seeing Cortney not hearing a response from Bloodette after she was swallowed by Cortney’s innate rune Blood Supreme.

“Bloodette! Bloodette! Are you there!” Cortney shouted in distress, not hearing a response from Bloodette. Her suspension started to get larger.

“I am here!” Finally, a pseudopod face made of blood extended out from Cortney’s left shoulder and responded to Cortney’s cry.

“What the hell!” I yelled, seeing Bloodette’s face extend out of Cortney’s left shoulder. That caught me off guard.

“Ahh!” Cortney, who finally saw the whole picture and could not help but cry out loud in a scare. Who wouldn’t if a blood pseudopod extended out of your shoulder resembling your friend’s face.

“Ahh!” Bloodette also screamed.

“…” Seeing the comical scene in front of me, I was without words.

“Why are you screaming?” Cortney asked Bloodette, having finally calmed down from the scare of watching Bloodette’s head grow out of her shoulder.

“Why don’t I get to scream when you and Wyatt both get to do it?” Bloodette spoke in the logic only she could understand.

“We screamed because you scared us!” Cortney argued.

“FYI, I was shocked, not scared,” I made it clear to Bloodette and Cortney that I was not scared but shocked. Yes, I was shocked. And then continued to ask, ” Bloodette, what happened after Cortney’s body swallowed you?”

“About that, I was not swallowed into Cortney’s body but in her innate rune. This rune helps me reside in it and share all my powers with her.

When inside the rune, I can not only share my powers with her but can also share all five of Cortney’s senses. And this is easier than partial blood possession. I could spend eternity in this innate blood rune.

I did not answer Cortney’s call earlier because I was deducing how to use the Innate blood rune. It’s very simple to operate this rune. I mastered it in a minute.” Bloodette explained the use of the innate blood rune and why she took so long to answer Cortney’s call.

“So all this strength filling my body is your shared power. No wonder I feel so strong. And a lot closer with the Blood rule.” Courtney finally knew where the new power in her body came from.

“Interesting” hearing the benefits brought to Bloodette and Cortney by the innate rune ‘blood rune’, I was intrigued. This ability of Cortney’s innate rune changed my perspective of different kinds of meanings of rules and their runes. Who would have thought that Blood rule would forge a bizarre innate rune? A rune with the ability to store Bloodette in Cortney’s Ego gem. A space-related rune forged from blood rule, very interesting.

The innate rune blood supreme had the ability to create a nurturing space for Bloodette in Cortney’s ego gem. Within this space, Bloodette shares her powers with Cortney and experiences the world through Cortney’s senses. The rune did not restrict Cortney’s moments. If she willed, she could extent out of Cortney’s body like a pseudopod

This rune sounded just like my monster orb item card. Which had the ability to capture monsters and help the card apprentice nurture and train them.
