Date- 18 April 2321

Time- 23:07

Location- Card World, Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City, Blood Rock Cave Gate Dungeon, Dungeon Seal

Walking out of the dungeon seal Wyatt immediately entered the Field Marshal's celestial space rule domain covering the entire city. 'How did you get outside of the celestial space rule?' Field Marshal Heatsend mentally contacted Wyatt in curiosity, discovering his presence in her celestial space rule domain. She knew her celestial mystic dimension the best, so she was impressed that Wyatt managed to escape the mystic dimension without fulfilling her conditions for him to leave the dimension. Considering that Wyatt was able to help Clown Mask escape her confinement in a subspace from miles away this was nothing. So, the Field Marshal wasn't surprised rather curious as to how he was doing it.

'If you are free enough to spare time to talk to me why did you mute the mystic dimension and not answer your son's call for help? I almost killed your son and old Henricks along with the undead,' Wyatt said as he tried to pinpoint the Field Marshal's location unable to feel her presence in the direction of the orphanage. He could not feel her presence within the limits of the city. So he searched for signs of Corey and Little Beam. 'I had to mute it because I have met a slippery enemy. He tried to assassinate Asong Young amidst the chaos. I needed to concentrate to deal with his tricks, so I muted the mystic dimension,' the Field Marshal explained, for her to call someone slippery her opponent must be a skilled assassin. After all, her unique eyes weren't just for show. Many capable card demigods have paid with their lives for underestimating them. 'Does the celestial space rule domain not able to limit him?' Wyatt asked. With the Field Marshal's celestial space rule domain covering the city, it should be impossible for opponents who dared to enter it to escape her grasp. 'I think he has a special physique or origin card that allows him just slip through anything, even my celestial space rule domain wasn't able to hinder his moment,' the Field Marshal said in frustration. It was not that the opponent the Field Marshal faced was too strong but he was just too good at running. He was similar to a mosquito in this case. The Field Marshal can squash her opponent like the pest he was but he would somehow manage to slip away just when she thought she had caught him. Her frustration was similar to the frustration of a mortal who kept trying to kill the mosquito but missed repeatedly.

'Where are you right now?' Wyatt asked, unable to find the Field Marshal or Corey. 'I am hiding in the void, waiting for the pest to make his move,' the Field Marshal informed. She seems to have taken this personally. 'Don't tell me you are using Asong as bait,' Wyatt remarked, knowing for her slippery opponent to leave his comfort zone and make a move the Field Marshal had to dangle an attractive bait, Asong was it. 'So what if I am? I have to put an end to this threat today, I don't plan to babysit her for the rest of her life or do you plan to do that?' the Field Marshal was right, Asong was not a part of the Southern Region, there was no need for her to go the extra mile for her. Still, she did what was in the best interest of Asong in the long run. So what if she put Asong's life at risk a little unless Asong wanted to live the rest of her life in fear of being assassinated, she had little choice but to cooperate with the Field Marshal by becoming the bait to lure out the slippery assassin after her life.

'I was just checking, anyway I am heading to Asong's side to check on her. If the assassin shows up maybe I can deduce his unique ability so that you can be better prepared to face him next time,' Wyatt said as he headed to where Asong was temporarily residing. 'Sure,' Field Marshal agreed even though she strongly felt that Wyatt would not need to do that because she would definitely catch the assassin next time he dared to make a move on Asong. Soon, Wyatt arrived at the location where Asong was temporarily housed. He did not head to meet her. However, her security detail who seemed to have healed had noticed his arrival. They might have informed Asong about his arrival but Wyatt was in no hurry to meet Asong. He used soul pupils to scan the surroundings feeling that the assassin might be hiding out somewhere nearby to kill Asong when he felt like it was the right moment. While searching for any signs of the assassin, Wyatt noticed that the Field Marshal's celestial space rule domain had shifted a little, even though it covered the entire city, its primary focus was Asong and her immediate vicinity. With this, it would be impossible for the assassin to get close to Asong without getting detected. With such arrangements for the assassin to escape the Field Marshal's hands, again and again, Wyatt could not help but wonder what kind of special ability it was that caused even one of the top ten strongest to clench her teeth in frustration. Wyatt scanned the whole neighborhood with his soul pupils twice but there wasn't any sign of the assassin or anything suspicious. He even had the Hive check the soul pathways of the surroundings he had recorded using his soul pupils just to be thorough. After all, the assassin's ability was able to hide from the Field Marshal's unique eyes. Just to be on the safer side Wyatt had the Hive AI check the recorded soul pathways for any sign of abnormalities. While he did that, Asong walked out of her villa to receive Wyatt, she did not seem to be shaken up despite multiple attempts on her life today.
