“Yes, if you have a high-tier soul energy manipulation card, then the creation of the Rune item cards will become as easy as creating any other card.” Hearing Anna say that I have a soul energy manipulation card, Luna started to weigh the application of soul energy manipulation in creating Rune Item cards. And was surprised to think how much time one can save while creating a rune item card with the help of a soul energy manipulation skill.

“Brat, Aren’t you a lucky fellow to get your hands on a soul energy manipulation card? Do you have any thoughts about selling it? I can give you a reasonable price.” Lorenzo did not hide his intention of buying my soul energy manipulation card.

“Old man, unfortunately, I cannot sell it to you. I don’t have a soul energy manipulation card, but the soul energy manipulation skill is a part of my origin card.

“…” Anna looked at me with questioning eyes as she clearly remembered me telling her that I had a soul energy manipulation card. Later remembering what had transpired in the VIP box, Anna apologized through her eye gestures. For revealing my info without my permission when I had already made it clear that except for her, I did not trust anybody in the Heatsend family.

“It’s a part of your origin card. No wonder… I almost thought you had successfully extracted the soul energy manipulation skill from the creature soulpole.” Luna sighed in relief, knowing that I did not have a soul energy manipulation card. Instead, it was a part of my origin card. Researchers have been trying for centuries to successfully extract the soul energy manipulation skill from the creature known as soulpole but have failed devastatingly and given up on this project.

“More about the Ego Gem Shell, has anyone ever tried implanting it in another card apprentice. To check whether we can artificially help a card apprentice forge an ego gem.” I asked this because my Calamity Daughter gem gave its host the abilities of a demon core and an ego gem, even if they had not forged either of them.

“Many people have considered what you have, but the result was a failure with devastating and inhumane consequences. There are two main reasons why implementing an ego shell in a card apprentice failed,

1. Ethereal Spirit is missing – The first reason is apparent, and that is the condensed Ethereal spirit of a card apprentice. If a person has not formed their ethereal spirit, implanting an ego gem shell in them will result in their soul being sealed in the ego gem shell, and the body enters a state of coma.

2. Soul energy impurity – the ego gem is formed out of the original card apprentice’s refined soul energy which will be considered impure when implanted in the body of another card apprentice. This has dire consequences on the ethereal spirit of the card apprentice accepting the ego gem shell.” Luna explained the implications of taking a shortcut to forge an Ego Gem.

“…” Hearing Luna’s explanation, I was shocked and lost in thoughts thinking, how does my calamity daughter gem give its host ability of demon core and Ego gem without any side effects? Wait, there is a considerable side effect to implanting a calamity daughter core in a card apprentice, which will turn the soul of the said card apprentice into a slave since this side effect did not affect me in any way. I always thought of it as a capable and valuable skill.

I think that the ability of the calamity daughter gem to turn its host into the slave of the calamity soul gem’s host somehow explains the reason how the calamity daughter gem is able to give its host the ability of the demon core and ego gem without other deadly side-effects similar to that of implanting an ego gem shell in another card apprentice.

The reason why the ego gem shell implantation process is a failure is because of the ethereal spirit and soul energy purity. But my calamity daughter gem doesn’t face any problems with the rebellion of ethereal spirit and soul energy purity because it forcefully enslaves the host.

The working and the creation of a rune item card had helped me come up with a theory as to how my calamity daughter gem works. Though just an idea, it gave me a lot of understanding of the dungeon calamity core. The more I understood about the calamity daughter gem, the more I felt that it was nothing magical. It is a clever and advanced application of the theory behind the rune items. Well, getting another dungeon calamity core can help explore all the theories I had just come up with. And this brings me to the question of what a false relic is?

“Dr. Lorn, What is a false relic?” I asked the question that just came to my mind. I was curious about this because both my dungeon calamity soul and my soul pupils seemed to be false relics. I need to know what does it take for one to create such powerful weapons that could turn an ordinary high school student into a existence with infinity potential.

“False relic… ” Luna was in a good mood finding a diligent and talented student like myself and was not hesitant to answer any question I asked her. But unfortunately, before Luna could explain the false relics, Anna interrupted her.

“You two do not forget why we are. Luna, we are not here to hear you give a lecture, and Wyatt, you can get the answers to all your questions in the top 10 universities’ libraries or with the faculty. Now let’s get back to the demonstration of your cards.” Anna knew the concept of Rune items and False relics being an alumna of the Morning Star university. And she did not want to spend her morning learning about rune items and false relics once again. Hence seeing Luna about to lecture on false relics, Anna’s patience exploded.
