Date- 1 April 2321

Time- 10:49

Location- Sky Blossom City, Southern Watch military base.

"How would I know that? Isn't it your job to discover why it did not find my master?" Corey answered with questions. The best way to avoid being caught up in your own web of lies.

"You are begging for an ass-whooping. Answer properly!" Anna thundered as she heard Corey throw the ball in her court. And to her surprise, Corey's questions were reasonable.

"I know you are not the type to acknowledge responsibility. So let's play evidence. I show my proof of why my master's existence was real and not a story I just made up. And you show your evidence to prove otherwise." Corey made a sound argument.

"Why go through all that trouble? Just call your mysterious master over." Anna suggested.

"Nope, I can't. Master visits me when she wants to." Corey answered plainly.

"What if I were to imprison you deep within the Tartarus? Or better yet, execute you publicly tomorrow morning? Your Master, if real, should come to your rescue, right." Anna said this to scare Corey.

"Master won't come to rescue me because, according to her, if I can't handle my day-to-day problems, I am better off dead. Because being caught by demons and devils is worse than death." Corey narrated.

"..." I was stumped as I heard Corey cook up a story on the spot. The story she was using felt oddly familiar. It seemed like I had read it somewhere. However, most of what Corey spoke wasn't a lie because she did have a master teaching her, her ego fire Corey Park.

"Girl, do you think you are funny?" Anna would like to believe Corey's story, but in her mind, that meant the state's array formation erected by her ancestors had a loophole.

"I am not. How do you explain the martial arts skill cards I made? I have never practiced martial arts in my whole life. Until I met my master, that is." Corey decided to argue with facts supporting her story. This way, the lies she was spewing would sound more acceptable.

'She is lying.' Just when Anna was about to consider that the state's array formation erected by her ancestors had a loophole, a mysterious voice in her head answered, telling her otherwise.

"Who!" Spooked, Anna blurted and searched for the source of the voice. Her sudden reaction caused everyone else to become alert. After all, she was the strongest here. If someone could spook her, then others stood no chance.

"Little lady, get hold of yourself. I don't have enough time, so listen carefully. I am one of your ancestors. I am talking to you through your unparalleled arena card.

Usually, it shouldn't be possible, but we took the liberty to use the grace bestowed upon you by the world's will for killing the devil to create this opportunity. So don't let it go to waste. Learn soul whisper and enter the Unparalleled arena to talk to us.

Next, I will pass you a method to open a gate to the dark realms. The place you people refer to as the demon realm. You should have already learned from Devil feastus that the Devil doesn't really die if you kill them in this world. But there is a way to kill them permanently. That is to kill them in the presence of an open gate to the Dark realms.

But remember, you will only have a two-minute window to kill the devil in the presence of the gate to dark realms. Because after that, dark realms start to suppress the world's will, in turn reducing the suppression of the world's will on the devil. So don't open the dark realm until you are sure that you can kill the devil in the next 2-minutes. Otherwise, you will die in the devil's hand, and with your death, the gate to the dark realms will close." After narrating his purpose, the voice claiming to be Anna's ancestor mentally passed her the method to open the gate to the devil's realm.

"It seems I still have time left." Said the voice after transferring the method to open the gate to the devil's realm to Anna and added, "That girl in front of you isn't simple. Instead of an ego gem, she has a dem—"

"—" The voice suddenly went silent midway. It seemed to have finally run out of juice.

The voice claiming to be Ann's ancestor left her with too many questions. Thankfully it had given her a way to get answers to those questions. That is to learn soul whisper and enter the Unparalleled arena. As Anna was contemplating the information provided by the voice, she was awakened from her trance by Ann's cries, "Anna! Anna!"

"What?" Anna replied in annoyance.

"I thought I lost you." Ann hugged Anna tightly in her embrace.

"Get off me, you idiot." Already confused, Anna was puzzled by Ann's behavior. No matter how hard she tried, she could pull away from Ann's embrace. Giving up trying to push Ann away, she turned to me and asked, "Can someone tell me what is happening here?"

"Don't you remember what happened? You were in a trance-like state for about 5 minutes. I don't know if this is a twin thing, but all the time, you were in a trance, Ann kept weeping and wailing that she could not feel you. She was devastated. The whole base is in red alert." I answered Anna explaining what happened when she entered a trance-like state.

"What happened? That girl made it sound like somebody stole your soul." Lorenzo returned immediately from his patrol around the base to search for assassins after learning Anna awakened through the base's array.

"Nothing. I just received the World's Grace for killing the devil yesterday." Said Anna.

"Why is it delayed? Isn't it supposed to be given by the world's will right after one kills a devil?" Lorenzo wasn't new to World's Grace. According to what he knew, Anna's case was odd.

"It is a little complicated. I will explain it later."
