Field Marshal Heatsend hid in space and watched the disappointing display of her descendant. She did not expect JJ to win or put up a fight against Wyatt but she did expect him to give his best such that his loss will be a honorable one. However, seeing him make basic mistakes, she could not help but be disappointed in his performance. Blood Rule has always been the enemy of Bloodlines, this was the basic every Bloodline user knew. Therefore, all the Royal descendant's final assignment to their Bloodline mastery was to find a way to negate the influence of blood rule on their bloodline. Most end up comprehending and mastering the blood rule while some get their hands on fancy cards that would give them resistance against the blood rule. Considering JJ's age and realm he should have recently begun his bloodline training. So, JJ not being prepared against Blood Rule influencing his bloodline was not surprising. However, JJ wasn't just any kid, he was a royal descendant with the most potential. Not to mention, he was the one who challenged Wyatt. Since he knew his enemy should he not have known beforehand that Wyatt's blood rule mastery might hinder his bloodline and come prepared? To make such an obvious mistake showed how unprepared JJ was and how his arrogance had led him to underestimate Wyatt's powers. Ultimately, now it would cost him his life. What bothered the Field Marshal most was the question, where did JJ find the resources required to sacrifice and summon an SSS-rank Nine-winged devil dragon? JJ's idea to sacrifice resources to the card world's will to borrow its power wasn't new. Many in the past had hypothesized it, worked tirelessly on it, and come up with two basic steps to achieve it, communication and sacrifice. Establishing a communication channel between the card world's will and the card apprentice is an essential step during a sacrifice ritual. It allows the world's will to understand the card apprentice's plea and demand appropriate sacrifice for it. Theoretically, this was how the sacrifice ritual should work.

However, even if one manages to establish a proper communication channel with the world's the sacrifice ritual will be mostly onesided with the Card apprentice taking the lead with proposal and begging. The world's will would rarely respond or make any demands. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

If we try to understand the sacrificial ritual as a basic exchange, it would be easy to understand why the card world's will would never show interest in the card apprentice's sacrificial ritual. It was because everything that the card apprentice had to offer to it in sacrificial ritual had originated from it. So, basically, the card apprentices were giving back what the world had given to them to the world while making an additional demand. How did this make sense? Ever since the sacrificial ritual was introduced to the card world by the demons/devils, many capable card apprentices have tried to understand why the sacrificial ritual methods introduced by the demons/devils were successful but not the methods introduced by them. Not to mention the sacrificial ritual of demons/devils had miscellaneous intent toward the card world while theirs did not. The reason why the sacrificial ritual methods created by the demons/devils worked even if it would harm the intention of the world's will and the card apprentices' sacrificial ritual methods would not work even though they were genuine in their ritual was that the sacrificial ritual created by the demons/devils had more to it than just offering human sacrifice. It facilitated an exchange between the Dark Realm's will and Card World's will. So, when a demon/devil worshiper conducts human sacrifice to summon demons/devils the offering they offer to the card world's will to open the portal to the dark realm would actually be used by the card world's will to conduct an exchange with the dark realm's will and as a commission for making this exchange between two realms' wills possible, the card world's will and the dark realm's will would fulfill the meager demand of the demon/devil worshiper. This was the reason why the card world's will would facilitate the demon/devil worshipper's sacrificial ritual even if it harmed its interest and not because the card world's will had any attachment for its children or something like the ancestors of the Heatsend royal family had thought to comfort themselves by believing in a higher power. This was the reason why all the sacrificial ritual methods independently created by card apprentices failed but the sacrificial ritual methods created by modifying the method created by demons/devils succeeded. However, without understanding the core principle of the sacrifice method created by demons/devils altering it totally was not possible. They could only alter it to make it so that the portal from the card world to the dark realm would be summoned by sacrificing any resource and not just human sacrifice. This was the modified sacrifice method the ancestors of the Heatsend royal family used to chase down the devil in the dark realm and permanently kill them. However, things changed when the genius who was said to be the hope of the South was born into the Heatsend royal family. Unfortunately, he soon fell off the pedestal and came to be known as the prodigal descendant. Unknown to the world this genius turned prodigal descendant of the heatsend royal family was the one who figured out the core principle of the sacrificial method made by the demons/devils. Understanding the core principle of the sacrificial method, the genius turned prodigal descendant of the heatsend royal family understood the real reason why the sacrificial methods created by the card apprentices failed, it was because the sacrifice they were offering to the card world was of no interest to it. Therefore, the genius turned prodigal descendant decided to use the corpse of the slayed demons and devils as an offering to the Card World's will since they were not born using the Card World's power. As such unknown to the card world, he had become one of the card apprentices who was successful in conducting a direct sacrificial ritual with the card world without involving the dark realm. The genius turned prodigal descendant of the Heatsend royal family wasn't the first card apprentice who learned that the card world's will would accept demons/devil corpses as a sacrificial ritual. Using the trial and error method many powerful card apprentices with various means at their disposal were able to figure this out unlike the genius turned prodigal descendant who figured this out by understanding the core principle of the sacrificial ritual method created by the demons/devils. This was why even though the other card apprentices, despite knowing that the card world's will would accept demons/devils as sacrifices, were never able to create a sacrifice method that would conduct a direct exchange with the card world's will without involving the dark realm's will. Hence, their progress in using the sacrifice method to have the card world's will help them was stunted compared to what the genius turned prodigal descendant of the Heatsend Royal family was able to achieve. Using his research work JJ was able to create his own sacrificial ritual. Even though ultimately what they did was modify the sacrificial ritual created by the demons/devil to create their sacrificial ritual what they had achieved was incredible. Being able to ask the card world to help them choose a certain rule meaning at the rule bifurcation point and help them summon higher-rank monsters to aid them in combat, both of these were only an echo in the infinite possibilities of what the sacrificial ritual can achieve. The perfect example of this was the devil merchant code created by the dark races. The dark races had indeed explored the sacrificial ritual method to the extreme while the card apprentice struggled to copy them. Though the findings of the genius turned prodigal descendant of the Heatsend Royal family regarding the sacrificial ritual method and his achievement in it were not known to the card apprentices community, Field Marshal Heatsend did not find JJ summoning an SSS-rank Nine-winged devil dragon surprising as the demon/devil worshipers were award sacrificial methods by the demons/devils that would allow them to summon monsters. Many card apprentices have used these sacrificial methods to create modified methods to summon high rank monsters that did not involve human sacrifice. Still, these modified methods were rare and were not available to common public. Therefore, the Field Marshal could not help but ponder what sacrifice JJ used to summon the SSS-rank Nine-winged devil dragon. Considering that JJ had summoned a being equivalent to a demigod the sacrifice could only be either human sacrifice or demon/devil corpse sacrifice. Only these sacrifices would be accepted by the card world for such a huge exchange. Either of these sacrifices was near impossible for JJ to obtain but one was easier than the other so the Field Marshal really hoped JJ did not take the easier route.
