Soon, the group found themselves in front of a room, with a door hanging open like someone had exited from it not too long ago. Inside, a bunch of furniture lay clattered together at the center, while the rest of the room was empty. It was as if some kind of suction force had pulled all the furniture in the room together, forming a pile in the middle. “What happened here…?” Acaya muttered. “Five people left this place not long ago,” Iris said, using her Oculus Angelica to search for the…-

“SKREEE!” The Phantoms jumped forward all at once, eager to tear through the group of humans with their long tentacles and sharp claws, then feed on their flesh with their rows of sharp teeth. But of course, the Ghost Hunters of the House of Crimson Moons weren’t just going to let them do that. “Hmph.” Shadow’s body began glowing a black aura as he seemingly entered the ground, teleporting from shadow to shadow. The Phantoms were powerless as he suddenly jumped out of their own dark…

“W-Wha… but how…” Acaya muttered in shock, not wanting to believe the people who were supposed to be their allies had sabotaged them. “It’s simple,” Iris continued, picking up where Qi Ling left off. “They passed through this path before us, so they knew those Ghosts were going to emerge out of the ground and start attacking. Because of that, they barricaded the exit on purpose in the hopes of getting us killed.” “I… I can’t believe it…” Acaya groaned, crouching down and…

“Everyone, DUCK!” Suddenly, multiple blasts of purple energy came flying towards the group from both their left and right, like tadpoles burning with purple flames. “Wha-!” The group immediately all ducked, letting the magic attacks soar above their heads and disappear into the fog on either sides. The Wraiths had spaced themselves perfectly so that their attacks would not hit one another on the other end, forming an offset line. Several seconds later, dull explosions could be heard in the…

Soon, the self-introductions were over. Of the two Theocracy of Light Regiments, there were two Healer Angelicas, two Pharaoh Angelicas (sand manipulation), another Oculus Angelica, a Nightstalker Angelica, a Lightbearer Angelica, a Stormbringer Angelica, a Waterwielder Angelica, and an Earthshaker Angelica. With the final three of this set plus Tian Long, all four elemental Angelicas were gathered — Flamebreather, control over fire, Stormbringer, control over lightning, Waterwielder, control over…

Since the Healer didn’t have night vision like Iris did with her Oculus Angelica, Finn used The Star card of the Cardmaster Angelica to light the way. As an aside, he found out he could actually use cards from the Cardmaster Angelica even after he switched to a different Angelica, so long as the activation process had already completed. The Healer had already healed his own wounds, and was now working on Qi Ling. He closed his eyes and hovered his hand over her glistening forehead, lined with beads of…

Immediately after stepping through the portal, the group found themselves within the same pitch-black realm once more. Flashes of white lightning streaked across the dimension, but there was no rain. Asteroid belts soared violently, unconstrained by the gravity as if this was deep space. The group stood on top of a grey rock, just barely visible. In front of them, several more rocks lay levitating in the air, rotating slowly and acting as a bridge. And at the end of it all… a cathedral stood. It was…

“S-Storm…” Fanatic muttered. “You really… betrayed us and told everything to that bastard…?!” Suddenly, Storm disappeared and dashed in front of Fanatic in an instant, lifting him up by the collar. “Wha-!” “Listen closely, middle schooler… Heartbeat is hundreds of times better than you scum. I betrayed you? No, no, no… you betrayed me first.” “G-Guh…” Fanatic was frozen still at Storm’s new speed and strong grip, sweat forming on his forehead. Finn and the others from…

– The Next Morning – The members of Squadron 154 and the Big Five (Four) gathered in the front hall once again, where Lei, Elder Hua, and Jim were. It was the day of the Temple Raid, the day to get rid of this accursed Emperor-level Ghost hiding within District A once and for all. Raiju was now residing within Finn’s body, since he would be coming along for this mission as a final trump card. He normally hated doing this since it ‘gave him no leg space’, but Finn did not want the other teams…

“Alright, kid, pick any of the 21 cards ya want, and focus on it!” Jim instructed, folding his arms. Finn did as told, concentrating on the Magician Card, symbolizing arcane power and magic. “… What next?” He asked, a red glow surrounding his body. “Mm, the Magician, eh? Not bad,” Jim said, recognizing the red glow. “But the hard part comes now. Raise yer hand in front of yer face, holdin’ yer middle n’ index fingers up, then pour mana into it.” Finn raised his right hand in front…
