Carrying a frozen block of ice containing a human-sized egg made from molten flesh and blood Colleen arrived at a quiet place far from the fight between her grandson-in-law and Agent Lois. Soon DemiG.o.d Backster appeared right beside her and asked, "How do we go about this?"
"I will monitor him from outside here, you use your item card hearts mirror to listen to his heart," Colleen mentally conveyed to Backster and then following Colleen"s order Backster used a silent chant, "SSS-rank rune item card- Heart"s mirror."
Summoning a fancy mirror made entirely of a diamond interestingly it did not reflect anything, but when demiG.o.d Backster pointed it at the block of ice containing Agent Uri hidden in the egg, it reflected the image of Agent Uri. Agent Uri"s reflection looked very childish and naughty like a child who was up to no good. Seeing this Backster nodded at Colleen and then looking at the egg frozen by Colleen in a block of ice he said out loud, "I know you can hear me from in there."
"..." the egg frozen in the block of ice did not reply to Backster it remained the same, frozen.
But it seems that was all Colleen and Backster wanted, as they seemed to be satisfied getting no reaction from the frozen egg. Then Colleen and Backster turned to look at the reflection of Agent Uri which was reflected on the Heart"s Mirror rune item, it suddenly spoke, "Yes, I can hear you."
Getting the accepted answer, Backster then proceeded to ask, "Where have you hidden Dr. Luna Lorn."
This time the egg did not remain responseless instead a sound could be heard from within it yelling, "I don"t know."
Like the previous time, Backster and Colleen ignored the frozen egg and looked at the reflection of Agent Uri reflected on the heart"s mirror rune item and it answered Backster"s question, "I have buried unconscious Dr. Luna Lorn in an underground tomb 500 miles west from here."
"Did you set up any trap?" Backster asked the frozen egg, and this time it replied, "Yes, without me you cannot get her back alive."
Whereas the reflection of Agent Uri on the heart"s mirror rune item said, "In a hurry, I did not have the time to rig the tomb with traps."
"Let"s go," having gotten the relevant answers Colleen carried the frozen egg and headed toward the location of her grand niece. While demiG.o.d Backster silently followed behind her.

Soon Colleen and Backster arrived at the location where Agent Uri had buried Dr. Luna Lorn only to find that the underground tomb had been dug up and Luna was missing. Seeing this Colleen and Backster used every sensing ability in their a.r.s.enal to check the tomb and its surroundings to locate anything suspicious but their effort found them no clues or sense anything suspicious.
Backster immediately summoned his Heart"s Mirror rune item card and pointing at the frozen egg he summoned Agent Uri"s ethereal spirit"s reflection on his Heart"s mirror and asked, "Who else knew that you had hidden Luna here?"
"I had shared this location with my handler," Agent Uri"s ethereal spirit answered.
"d.a.m.n it, we are late," Colleen cussed believing that Agent Uri"s handler had someone extract Luna.
DemiG.o.d Backster who had experience with these kinds of situations immediately thought of where the card apprentice who has Luna might be and enquired Agent Uri"s ethereal spirit, "Where is the rendezvous point of your current mission?"
Listening to demiG.o.d Backster"s question, Colleen"s eyes shone understanding what Backster was trying to achieve by asking Agent Uri"s ethereal spirit this question. And looked at the reflection of Agent Uri"s ethereal spirit"s reflection eagerly as it answered the location of their mission"s rendezvous point. Then Colleen and Backster dashed towards the location immediately.
A whole minute after Colleen and Backster left, a figure carrying unconscious Luna surfaced from within the tomb. It was none other than DemiG.o.d Baylor. He was somehow able to escape Colleen and Backster"s search.
But to DemiG.o.d Baylor"s surprise as soon as he surfaced from the tomb, Colleen suddenly appeared a few miles away from him out of nowhere. Scared, demiG.o.d Baylor summoned a portal and jumped into it carrying unconscious Luna before Colleen could reach him. Colleen made use of the fastest speed to catch up with Baylor and she did but an invisible shield stopped Colleen from entering the portal, soon the portal vanished leaving behind angry Colleen in a vast wasteland, all alone, yelling at the top of her voice out of frustration, "Aaahhh!!!"
Thinking of the possibility that the villain who has her grand-niece might still be hiding in the vicinity while heading to the rendezvous point of the enemy Colleen had left a mark a few miles from the tomb, which would not only help her to teleport to that location instantly but also monitor what was happening in its surroundings. Colleen"s intuition was correct but unfortunately, she was one step too late.
"d.a.m.n those freedom fighters," Colleen cussed Baylor and summoned her grimoire to texted her sister-in-law informing that demiG.o.d Baylor was a freedom fighter.
Freedom Fighters is an extremely powerful organization led by an unknown leader. They are the only force in the world that directly and openly opposes the World Government and seek to dismantle it. They are particularly against the four royal families and the n.o.bles of the central region who benefit from the corruption of the World Government. The only reason they were able to survive despite opposing the World Government was that they hide in the worlds connected to this card world through reverse dungeons.
