"I have already made contact with my old squadron, Master Wyatt. They are awaiting your command." Old Ben did not disappoint me. He successfully took charge of the tiger squadron, as promised.

"Good job," praising old Ben, I turned to look at the others who were still in a meditative state trying to reach higher comprehension in blood rule and said, " let others be. Van, please arrange for us to raid the A-rank Ogre fields gate dungeon. And also, buy lots of C-rank, B-rank, and A-rank origin cores. I want to try my new rune and test the limits of my abilities."

"Sure, master Wyatt. Give me 15 mins to make arrangements." Van happy obliged my request and headed out of Blood rock cave to make arrangements as per my request.

"Bloodette, we will be leaving soon. Do you want to follow us, or will you stay in the dungeon to comprehend the meanings you gain insight into from Cortney?" I asked Bloodette whether she would be leaving with us, worried for my calamity daughter gems that would be left in Blood Rock caves comprehending blood rule. I don't want them trapped in the blood rock caves with Bloodette not here to open the dungeon gate for them.

"I will follow you guys out." A blood pseudopod resembling Bloodette's face extended out of Cortney's neck and answered. Apparently, she did not need the boost of the blood rock cave to comprehend blood rule as the blood rock cave had formed due to her presence.

"Then what about these guys? How will they walk out of the dungeon if you are not here to open the dungeon gate for them?" I reminded Bloodette that she could not leave her house because she still had guests inside it. Wouldn't they be trapped in her home if she left?

"Don't worry about that. They can exit the dungeon as they please. Only entering the dungeon requires my presence and consent." Bloodette explained that her presence is not required to exit the dungeon. They leave anytime they want, but re-entering the blood rock cave dungeon would require her permission.

"Good to know that. Then let's head out to the A-rank Ogre Fields gate dungeon." Leaving a note for my daughter gems on how to exit the dungeon, Old Ben, Bloodette possessed Cortney, and I exited the dungeon. Since Bloodette was hiding in Cortney's innate rune there was no problem as she exited the dungeon.

"Old Ben, do you have a vehicle card?" I asked Old Ben as Cortney and I each summoned our hoverbikes.

"Yes, I do, Master Wyatt. 'Come forth, my Chariot.' " Replying to me, Old Ben summoned his vehicle. I thought Old Ben had named his vehicle Chariot, but to my surprise, it was an actual hovering chariot. Instead of the horse drawing the chariot, it was powered by a soul energy-powered engine like the rest of the hovering vehicles.

"Old Man, you got style." Cortney complimented Old Ben, admiring his gold-plated hovering chariot.

"Thank you, young miss. Back then, during the monster war, the chariot series was quite popular as it did not pose a lot of restrictions to the rider's movement and range of actions. Nowadays, they have stopped making hovering chariots as hovering cars and Bikes have become a trend. But I still prefer a hovering Chariot. I guess you can call me old school." Old Ben politely thanked Cortney and had a decent conversation with her. Anybody watching would think that there's nothing wrong with old Ben as if he does not have Emotion paralysis and is not implanted by a calamity daughter gem.

"Hovering Chariot is dope, old man. I think I will be buying one for myself too." Cortney being a gearhead, really appreciated the old-school hovering chariot.

Setting our destination in the grimoire, we three head to the A-rank dungeon on our hovering automotives.

Location- Sky Blossom City, Silver Beach Dungeon

As we headed to the Ogre field gate dungeon, I noticed great disturbance near Silver beach dungeon, which was on route to our destination. The disruption was none other than the southern watch members who were here to relocate the silver beach dungeon.

"Good afternoon, Wyatt." Just as I was thinking of leaving, Anna noticed my presence and greeted me.

"Good afternoon, Anna. When did the dungeon relocation squad arrive?" Replying to Anna's greeting, I asked about the arrival of southern watch soldiers.

"Yesterday night, an hour after you left. Since then, we have been busy setting up all the apparatus for dungeon relocation. We want to get this job done as soon as possible before other forces realize what our family has been up to." Anna replied with an exhausted sigh.

"Exhausting? You are busy bossing around while the soldier and I attend to all the work here. What are you exhausted about?" Taking notice of our presence, Luna also came over to greet, but hearing Anna complain about exhaustion, she could not help but question her.

"Your highness southern emperor." Old Ben hurriedly got down the Chariot and saluted Anna, showing his respect as a soldier to the southern emperor.

"Who might you be?" Seeing Old Ben salute her, Anna recollected seeing him before and tried to remember who he was.

"Ben Francis, Captain of Tiger Squadron, Sky Blossom City regiment." Old Ben answered, he may have a calamity daughter gem, but His will was not restricted.

"Ben Francis, I remember that you received a medal from my grandmother for your honorable service during the monster war. It is always a great honor to meet a hero." Anna respected Old Ben for his service. Anna remembered that her grandmother had invited old Ben and a few of his friends to join the southern watch, but they all rejected the offer saying their duty was at the sky blossom city.

Anna members her grandmother sighing, seeing a great talent wasted by his chivalry. Anna never understood why her grandmother valued Old Ben but now, sensing Old Ben having formed his ego gem on his own. Anna knew there was some truth to her grandmother's words.
