"..." Listening to Agony little Baem did not dare to face her, it kept its head down as it resisted her orders and continued to shelter Wyatt. Unlike how it dared to bare its fang at Belphegor when faced with Agony the little Baem remained docile like a house pet.
Little Baem's actions came as a huge shock to Agony because she could not recall an instance when Baem did not listen to her words. Ever since she was born Baem was there for her even more than her father. In her heart, Little Baem was more of a parent/guardian to her than a pet snake.
As a result, Agony grew a little curious about the human Baem was trying to protect. As that human was not only able to force her father to resort to one of his desperate measures but was able to gain the favor of Baem who remained cold and heartless to everyone except her.
However, noticing her father's patience waning thin Agony scrubbed her curiosity and continued to persuade her pet, "Little Baem be a good girl and come to Mama, I will give you 75 tasty treats." Pointing at the seventy-five demigods.
The demigods who wanted to get a clear stance of the sinister snake before they commenced their attack felt insulted being treated as a mere pet treat by the Corpse devil. Still, none of them dared to break formation or provoke the devils without the green signal from their captain as they did not want to make the snake devil their enemy if they could avoid it.
"..." Little Baem kept her head down and remained silent continuing to shelter Wyatt with her body. Seeing this Agony frowned now she was starting to feel jealous of the human that little Baem was going to such lengths to protect.
Unlike other devils, the corpse devils get born with the realm of the refined corpse that was used for their birth. Being born to an SSS-rank corpse puppet Agony was born a devil, and did not have as much experience as the other devils that advance to the devil realm step by step. Her life experience was very little. Belphegor made sure of that as it would be easier for him to brainwash and control her that way.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Devil did not have a concept of sharing or compassions, so Agony who had no life experience hadn't even heard of those words. Hence, seeing her little Baem show such concern for a human suddenly felt numerous emotions in that interval which took over her mind as she yelled, "Come over here, this instant."
…
Under the shelter of Baem's body, Wyatt focused all his energy and mind on refining the true artifact as his own. Now that it had lost its connection to the devil. He could make use of the genuine refining technique of the card apprentice, Card Creation. Now that the relic was ownerless, it was just another card ingredient and Wyatt planned to treat it as such.
Though card apprentices can turn any relic into their origin card using the free origin card slot in their grimoire Wyatt was not sure if he should use his last empty origin card slot to turn the rue relic into his origin card. Wyatt was on the fence about this because he wanted to sure about what were the effects and requirements of the hourglass relic. Heck, he did not even know the true relic's name.
Besides even if he were to use his empty origin card slot to turn it into an origin card his calamity soul gem would try to swallow it. Just like how the first time he tried to refine the Dungeon calamity seed into his second origin card, his first origin card Soul pupils tried to eat it, giving birth to the Calamity Human core, now known as Calamity soul jem.
However, after that altercation occurred Wyatt passed out naked for hours in the Whiteburn family card lab. Right now he could not risk that so he decided to play it safe by refining the true relic into a card. With his current power, Cursed Blood Refining, and SSS-rank Curse Blood Corruption it should not be hard for him considering that the relics were rankless and gradeless.
Hence, even a card student could turn and use them as their origin cards that were with the approval of the conscious of the relic if it had one. Willam Bright and the false relic he used to turn into his origin card were good examples of this. The false relic that Willam Bright used not only had a conciseness but for some reason it had taken fancy to him and liked to play tricks on him.
With that his intent clear, Wyatt immediately summoned his grimoire. Then opening the card creation page he placed his left hand, to which the hourglass relic was attached, on it along with a common core. Preparing to refine the true relic into a card.
However, just as the miniature arrays on the card creation page lit up and were going to turn the hourglass relic into a mass of soul pathways, it stopped sucking on his life force letting out a cry which Wyatt heard in his soul.
The relic began pleading with him to not refine it into a card and it was willing to accept him as its new master. The invisible tendrils extend out of the true relic's consciousness trying to interact with Wyatt's mutated soul, begging him to accept it as his servant.
Wyatt was shocked to find that the true relic that did not bow to the combined might of his mutated souls, Hive AI, and two curses immediately became docile sensing the miniature arrays on the grimoire's card creation page. Wyatt was fascinated by this turn of events and wanted to further explore it but the situation outside was turning into the worst possible scenario so he immediately accepted the true relic's pleading and then it quietly entered his storage card.
"Thank you for buying me enough time Baem—" Walking out from the shelter of Baem, Wyatt thank her but then he found himself without words and his gaze stuck on the 6.5 ft tall female devil.
