I let the malicious intent of the devil skull mask continue to influence my ego gem despite knowing its intentions for two reasons. The first reason is that I believe in the capabilities of my Calamity Soul Gem. I was confident that the malicious intent of the devil skull mask would not be able to breach through the shell of the dungeon calamity seed covering my calamity soul gem. Even if it was the devil himself who attacked, he could not break through the shell of the Dungeon calamity seed. Let alone a mere malicious intent of a card apprentice with a demon core.
The second reason for doing so is that I wanted to buy enough time for the Hive AI to hack into the Cloaked figures grimoire and get the original bodys location and card info on the cards she had equipped. The indirect link between me and the Cloaked figures grimoire is present because of the malicious intent of the devil skull mask entering my body. So, if I were to get rid of it, then the connection would be lost, and I would lose the only chance to track the location of the cloaked figures original body.
Therefore, I patiently wait and let the malicious intent do its best while my Hive AI hacks into its masters grimoire. Once I get the original cloaked figures location and its card info, I can put an end to this and seek retribution on it.
It took a while, but soon the Hive AI was able to hack into the Cloaked figures clones grimoire. First thing it did after gaining access to the enemys grimoire was to record the card info of all the cards equipped by the enemy clone and send them to me. Then it proceeded to track the original body of the cloaked figure by triangulating its location through the frequency that the original body uses to deliver its commands to the clones. That would take a while, and meanwhile, I went through the card info of the cards equipped by the original and shared it with the clones.
Reading the card info of the cloaked figures origin card Devil Skull Mask I finally understood the trick behind the cloaked figures countless clones and limitless Demonic summoning ritual. Unlike the cheap imitation clones of the average card apprentice made using soul energy or rule energy, the clones of the cloaked figure were perfect clones made using a living person with flesh, blood, and soul. Three necessary things for sacrifice in a demonic ritual.
No wonder the cloaked figure could use its clones for conducting the demonic summoning ritual. Its clones are made up of living people, top-grade sacrifices for any demonic ritual. Not to mention the passive ability, Devil Spawn, which allowed the cloaked figure to undertake limitless demonic rituals without facing any severe repercussions. This ability was like the Cloaked figures personal get out of trouble-free card.
With the help of the Swarm Devil Broodnuns innate ability, Swarm, the Cloaked figure, can create as many perfect submissive clones of himself as he wants. And with the passive effect of the Devil Spawn, the cloaked figure could perform as many Demonic rituals as possible without facing any severe backlash. Making the Cloaked figure an expert demon summoner with an infinite demon army at its disposal.
Apart from that, clones seem to share the thoughts, abilities, perspective, memory, behavior, and senses with the original. Meaning that the clones made using Devil Skull Mask can share the grimoire of the original. This ability was similar to what I created for Debra Khan and her skeleton Centaur Knight.
With the help of the ability share effect of the Devil Skull Mask mixed with the Swarm mind skill, which allowed the original to control and command the clones remotely, the original Cloaked figure could rain terror on any place in the realm with her clones from the comfort of its home and never get caught.
The combination of the limitless demon army summoning and infinite range to control them made this card very overpowered. Just imagining that a person could attack a city with the waves of demons to destruction from the comfort of their home had me feeling a chill on my back. I dont know the capabilities of higher realms card apprentices, but for Lower realm card apprentices to face this situation would lead to their total annihilation. Though I was able to handle the demon tide, I was having a hard time tracking the original body. Without getting rid of the original body, it was impossible to put an end to this mayhem. If not for the cloaked figure being careless right now, I would have never been able to track the original body. Yes, the Hive AI had finally successfully tracked the location of the original body of the cloaked figure. Knowing the location of the demon cult follower, I was astonished because this is the last place a person should be expecting to be hiding a demon cultist, the Central Academic City.
The holy city of humankinds knowledge, that was where the original body of the cloaked figure was hiding. Knowing this, I was surprised as the Central academic city was the hub for this worlds most innovative and most intelligent beings. How the heck did a demon worshiper manage to hide there without getting caught? A holy place like the central academic city should be the last place to spot a demon fanatic. But it seems the central academic city is not as safe as the people make it seem.
Having found the location of the cloaked figures original body, I realized that up till now, I was fighting a meritless battle. Since I didnt care about helping the city, the only merit of fighting the cloaked figure was hunting it down. But, now that I know its original body is in the central academic city, I realized that face to face with the cloaked figure is not possible any time soon, so I decided to end the charade and leave this mess to the city to take care of.
