"Arhhh!" getting the entire upper right side of her body chewed off by a corpse dragon, Adriene screamed in pain. Yet, she managed to shove Dargonoid JJ off her and retreat before he could bite her head off ending her life. Having retreated Adriene found no time to collect her breath and thoughts let alone stabilize her wounds as JJ and Cervos came at her recklessly without caring about their defense and sole intention to kill her. Seeing this, Adriene yelled out loud, "Divine Barrier!" With Adriene"s chant, the golden barrier covering Adriene"s inner G.o.ddess extended out of her mutated ego gem and covered Adriene"s entire body in a golden-translucent eggsh.e.l.l barrier. The barrier was created right in the nick of time to save Adriene from JJ and Cervos"s attacks. Clashing onto the golden barrier JJ and Cervos"s attacks failed to make a ripple on the barrier let alone break it. However, this did not discourage JJ and Cervos"s they continued to attack the golden barrier covering Adriene relentlessly following Wyatt"s domain effect that was manipulating their bodies to kill her. "Humph!" Inside the divine barrier, Adriene stared at JJ and Cervos"s in disdain before focusing on stabilizing her injuries and tending to them. Ignoring JJ and Cervos"s attack, trusting her divine barrier was one thing but she did not appear to be worried about attacks from Wyatt to see how she chose to heal herself instead of trying to escape. Adriene appeared to be very confident in the strength of her divine barrier. Meanwhile, Corey moved to Wyatt"s side saying, "I did not think you would kill them but I am impressed."
"What do you know about killing?" Wyatt asked Corey seeing how c.o.c.kly she approached him. It was one thing if these words were spoken to him by Park however Corey was overestimating herself to say those words to him. "I have killed my share and adding the ones I killed in my past life, my kill count is higher than yours," Corey remarked, feeling belittled by Wyatt. "Past Life?" Jaya and Aurelia blurted in confusion. Ignoring them, Wyatt said, "That is nothing to be proud of," Recalling he killed an entire hybrid race of Human-Viltronian back on earth. "Tsk," Corey clicked her tongue seeing Wyatt ignore the fact that he was the one who belittled her about her kill count and took the moral high ground. She felt there was no winning with Wyatt.
"How"s Beam taking to the news of Park?" Wyatt asked Corey eyeing the white scaly bangle on her wrist, recalling that the last time he met Corey and Park, they were planning to tell about Corey"s ego flame Park to Beam. "She took it too well," Corey replied brightly. Then, she continued, "As a matter of fact she helped me clear my confusion about my ident.i.ty." When Corey introduced ego flame Park to Beam, she did not react as Corey and Park were expecting her to. She showed interest in ego flame Corey Park and stuck with Corey Bright. When asked why she was ignoring Park, she replied Park was just a remnant memory sponging of Corey Bright who was the true Corey Park. With Beam"s a.s.sertion, Corey Bright came to terms with her ident.i.ty. However, it was still far from the point of being cured. "That"s good to hear," Wyatt was happy that everything worked out well for Corey and Park. Then, he asked, "What does she plan to do with Corey Park"s corpse?" "She said that it is a gift for me and I can decide whatever I want to with it," Corey replied, appearing a little creeped out to talk about the corpse from her past life. "So, what do you plan to do with it? Let me warn you Belphegor had refined it into a corpse puppet which has evolved into the undead devil," Wyatt asked Corey even though he himself had his own ideas for the undead devil. "I don"t know. Honestly, I am too creeped out to talk about this topic. Can you keep it until I decide what to do with it?" Corey asked, surprising Wyatt. He thought Corey would ask him to dispose of her corpse considering that it had evolved into the undead devil and was controlled by Belphegor. Wyatt was hoping that in the guise of disposing of the undead devil, he could ask Corey if he could make use of her. However, seeing Corey still wasn"t sure about what to do with Corey Park"s corpse he felt it was going to be difficult for him to get full custody of the undead devil from Corey.
"What"s there to decide? It has evolved into an undead devil and is controlled by Belphegor, our best option here is to dispose of it. If you are too creeped out to do it then, I will take her off your hands," Wyatt offered. He gave it a shot hoping that Corey no longer wanted to talk about this topic and would just let him decide. "No, give me some time. I will tell you soon," Corey rejected Wyatt"s offer decisively. It seems she could not make up her mind to kill the undead devil. All the card apprentices saw devils as enemies and hated them. However, Corey who had her past life memories did not see devils as enemies or hate them. She was open-minded about their existence as long as they did not harm her interest. After all, in the past life dark races have been kinder to her than human beings. Therefore, she could decide what to do with the undead devil that was born from Corey Park"s corpse.
"Fine," Wyatt agreed, seeing Corey was considering this matter very seriously. Hearing him agree, Corey expressed her grat.i.tude to him, "Thank you for understanding Wyatt." "Well, whatever you end up deciding I hope you make the right choice."
