Card Apprentice Daily Log

Date- 5 April 2321

Time- 04:12

Location- Southern Region, Blossom district, Sky Blossom City, St. Raymond Cemetery

Having equipped the marker card Lois appeared right at the spot in the cemetery where she had disappeared. Ann, Baylor, and Backster instantly became aware of her presence and realized that Lois never teleported away but was hiding using her physique.

Agent Lois paused to check the location of the boy in her grimoire and learning that he was hiding 60 miles away from the outskirts of the city she dashed towards the opposite direction at the fastest speed she could fathom.

Seeing this Baylor asked Ann, "Southern Emperor, is the direction she is heading toward where Wyatt is hiding?"

"No, but let me confirm," saying that Ann texted the boy's grimoire the ring's coordinates asking, 'Is this where you are hiding? Or did you ditch the ring there intentionally?'

Ann did not have to wait long, she received an instant answer from the boy while the two temporarily allied demigods pursued the fleeing Lois.

[Ann,

Yes, I am hiding right at these coordinates. And why would you think that I would ditch the ring? With so many people cursing me every day I would have died already without this ring on my finger.]

[Wyatt,

Hang tight, I will come to get you, once it is safe.]

After getting assurance that the boy was in the position indicated by the ring, Ann began to wonder why was Lois running. Was she fleeing? Ann did not buy it as she did not like that Lois was able to flee after attacking the southern royal family. Disappointed Ann informed the two demigods that Lois was not heading in the direction where the boy was hiding so they could stop pursuing Lois.

"Southern Emperor, I will catch her and bring her to justice, " replying to Ann, Backster did not wait for her to answer but rushed to capture Lois to show that the southern region was not the place where she could come, create trouble and go as she pleased.

"Wait…" Ann wanted to ask Backster to stop his pursuit of Lois and return to stand guard along with her, after all, they still had one uncertain variable to handle General Baylor.

But before she could ask Backster to come back, General Baylor followed suit with Backster in his pursuit to capture Lois, saying, "I will help him."

General Baylor really did not want to follow Backster and help him capture Lois, what he wanted was to stand guard to the boy with Ann, but he knew if he stayed behind Ann he would not be comfortable so he decided to help Backster capture Lois so that all three of them can stand guard to protect the boy without making it awkward for him.

But his actions had the opposite effect on Ann because she thought this was the plan Baylor and Lois were working on. Baylor would sympathise with the boy and gain their trust, later Lois would run separating Ann and Backster, then Baylor would follow suit to help whoever ends up pursuing Lois and once they were far enough, Baylor would team up with Lois to kill whoever between Ann and Backster had followed Lois. Then Baylor and Lois would quickly return to kill whoever between Ann and Backster stayed behind to protect the boy. Lastly, together they would search for the boy to kill him in cold blood and leave in time.

With such a narrative in her mind, Ann called Backster, saying, "Demigod Backster, return, it could be a trap…"

Before Ann could finish her explanation to Backster, the fleeing Lois suddenly turned around, then with her left eye closed she opened her right eye wide, in an instant, a brilliant white light shone on Demigod Backster and General Baylor who was behind him before they vanished.

Witnessing this the goody-two-shoes Ann cussed, "Fuck!"

And without wasting a second she turned around and hurried toward the location of the Boy. She planned to meet him and use Anna's teleportation card to send the boy to the southern royal palace, where he could be safer.

Knowing that her trap would only be able to slow demigod Baylor and Backster for a few minutes at most, Lois immediately rushed to the direction of the location indicated by the marker card. As for Ann, Lois did not consider her a threat even though Ann's realm was enhanced to that of a Demigod by borrowing power from the array covering the southern region. Not to mention, Ann's destination seemed to be in the same direction as hers. This saved her some time, she will handle Ann on her way to the boy.

"Anna, bare with it, I have no choice," Ann said aloud as she felt the presence of Lois behind her becoming stronger and stronger which meant that with her current speed, Lois would soon catch up to her. Then Ann suddenly felt the presence of Lois vanish from behind her and appear in the mid-section of her channel connecting her to the world's will. Ann no longer hesitated and instantly used the ace in her hands yelling, "Origin card additional ability, Alter Ego Possession."

With that, the barely conscious Anna had been summoned from the unparalleled arena and began to merge with Ann, just then Lois who had shifted her body to the mid-section of her channel, teleported to the mid-section of Ann's channel, then instantly appeared behind Ann.

Lois did not wait for Ann to execute her killer ace and attacked the two merging figures of Ann and Anna but they were in an ethereal state, Lois's attacks just passed right through their bodies as they combined to form a single wounded body. That was because severe wounds on Anna were now shared with Ann while Ann's healthy body was shared with Anna, so though the new body was wounded it was not that severe compared to Anna's previous condition.

As the newly possessed body of Ann opened its eyes, it was greeted by a sneak attack from Lois, to which Ann's new body reacted beyond the concept of physical speed and caught Lois's incoming punch with a single hand and uttered, "Bitch, it's our turn now."

This was Anna in Ann talking.
