"I too hope the same," Corey agreed with Wyatt. She was putting off deciding the undead devil's fate because she sympathized with her for being born from Corey Park's corpse and because Belphegor used her just like how he used Corey Park. But she did not want her sympathy to cloud her judgment and do something she would regret. "Um," Wyatt nodded with a little concern seeing Corey's internal struggle. But he proceeded to ask her the real reason why he brought up this topic, "I kind of promised the Field Marshal that I would arrange a meet between you and her. So that is happening." The only reason he brought up the undead devil with Corey in the first place was not because of his plans with the undead devil but to keep his promise to Field Marshal. Wyatt had promised the Field Marshal that he would help arrange a meeting between her and Corey that evening a few days before. However, he was stuck in the blood rule source and was unable to keep the promise. But he did ask her to give him sthe will make it happen. "What? Why would you even do that?" Corey freaked out, here she was doing everything to avoid the Southern Royal Family's trying to persuade her while the person she considered her rival/friend/boss was helping the enemy. "I thought Little Beam would kill and use you to revive the will of Corey Park that's alive in your demon core as ego flso I asked the Field Marshal to look out for you—," midway through Wyatt's explanation he was interrupted by furious Corey, "So in return, she asked you to arrange the meet? That bitch!" "Hiss!" the snake head of the white bangle on Corey's wrist turned to glare at Wyatt and hissed at him in dissatisfaction. "How dare you cuss my grandma?" Aria who was still mourning the death of the card apprentice that Wyatt killed turned her rage towards Corey who blatantly cussed the hero of the south. Since she knew she could not do anything to Wyatt. "No offense little Beam, you guarded her corpse for centuries that's creep. So, you cannot blme for assuming the worst," Wyatt defended himself to the white snake. Meanwhile, Corey and Aria were standing neck to neck ready to kill each other. "The Field Marshal is your grandma? I will call her a bitch again! What are you going to do about it you little bitch?" Corey snapped at Aria learning that she was related to the Southern Royal family. Seeing them fight over nothing, Wyatt was irritated and warned them, "Aria, Corey, shut the fuck! Or I will help you guys shut up." Then, he mumbled, "Man, I really hate myself right now for stopping two girl fights in a row." Shaking it off, Wyatt corrected Corey's misunderstanding, "No, that is not how it went, when I asked the Field Marshal to keep a watch on you she said it was her duty to protect the citizens of the south. On a different note, she talked toabout how the royal family owed your parents and that your safety was their top priority, feeling her sincerity I promised to arrange a meeting between you two. Besides, now that Field Marshal works foryou have no choice but to get along with her."

"What do you mean by the Field Marshal works for you?" Both Aria and Corey asked Wyatt in unison. "You guys will learn about it soon, but first lethandle that ant that tried to bitedespite my generosity," Wyatt said vanishing from Corey and Aria's side and appearing before the divine barrier protecting Adriene from JJ and Cervos's attacks while she healed herself. Feeling Wyatt's arrival, Adriene focused on him to find him ball his fist to punch the divine barrier. Seeing this Adriene sneered confident in the defense of her inner goddess's divine barrier. However, just as Wyatt's fist was about to clash with the divine barrier, Adriene found that her inner goddess withdrew her divine barrier returning it to its original size to just protect the inner goddess. Adriene was shocked finding that her inner goddess was scared of Wyatt's attack. All her confidence from earlier shattered was replaced by despair once again. In her shock, Adriene was unable to react to the JJ and Cervos's attacks and was blasted off about a quarter mile like a doll hit by a train. Fortunately for her, their attacks missed her vital points though they did a huge number on her. Luckily having managed to make a distance between herself and her assaulters, Adriene did not use it to her advantage but just stood there in shock. JJ and Cervos rushed at her with their fastest speed preparing their strongest attacks to delete her from the face of this world but Adriene did not react and just stood there like a puppet with broken strings. The one thing Adriene could count on in her whole life no matter what, her inner goddess, just abandoned her. She would not have been so devastated if the divine barrier failed to withstand Wyatt's attack however seeing how her inner goddess chose to protect herself and abandon her, Adriene was hit hard. Her whole will to fight and live another day collapsed let alone avenge her dead sisters. 

However, in the face of her impending death, as JJ and Cervos neared her, Adriene's most precious memories flashed before her eyes. Especially, the day the Southern Ruler took on the whole world for her. Going through these memories Adriene had an enlightenment and yelled, "Not today!" as a flengulfed and vanished leaving nothing but smoke behind as JJ and Cervos's attack landed on it. With their target out of sight, JJ and Cervos searched for Adriene to find a flthat appeared a mile from their location taking the form of Adriene. They understood that she had used the fire rule's flicker meaning to teleport to safety.
