Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sun blossom city
Just as Number Ten and Agatha were about to get past the enemy as Number Nine engaged him, they heard the enemy chant, "SSS-rank, Curse Card, Death To All"
"Fuck, everybody, stay within a kilometer distance of him," Hearing the enemy, Number Ten cussed as a black halo appeared on each of their heads. Number Ten facial expression got uglier as he knew the exact ability of the opponent's card, so he instructed them to stay within 1km of the enemy. It seems their opponents were not underestimating them, they were more decisive than all three of them combined.
"Agatha immediately uses that card, the situation cannot get more desperate than this," Number Ten gave up on chasing the other two semi-demigods of the circle and yelled at Agatha to use the card.

"..." Agatha frowned as Number Ten's action was not what they had agreed upon. But seeing the black halo covering their heads and the desperate expression on Number Ten's face she chose to follow his instruction and use the card after giving it a thought.
"Quick, before they escape from the area of effect of the card," Number ten could not help but add seeing that Agatha was still considering his words.
Agatha, Number Nine and Number Ten were not weaker than the trio from the circle if anything they were stronger yet they fell short compared to the enemy trio because the level of coordination was unprecedented, they were in a state that can only be described as 'single mind three bodies'. Not to mention the decisiveness they showcased, they did not hesitate to sacrifice one of them for the other two to escape. In face of this, the advantage of strength that the allied trio held could not gain them the upper hand that they could have with a bit more coordination and decisiveness.
"SSS-rank Trap card, Heaven's Sanction," Agatha finally chose to heed Number Nine's words and activate the card given to her by the southern emperor. Fortunately, for Agatha, the other two enemies had circled back to the city to access the hidden teleportation array in the underground of the circle's destroyed branch headquarters. So they had not managed to escape the area of the effect of the trap card used by Agatha.
It can be said that Agatha was very lucky when it came to her timing of activating the trap card given to her by the southern emperor as the two semi-demigods of the circle who thought that they had gotten the allied semi-demigods off their backs headed straight to the hidden teleportation array and accessed them only to find that the isolation barrier protecting city suddenly was strengthened from A-rank to SSS-rank and they could not escape using the teleportation array as it was only of AA-rank.
"You better give me a worthy reason for this, or you got an enemy in me, mister," Agatha said to Number Ten with a grave expression as the bill of using the trap card came due. For now, she was fine but once she deactivates the trap card, she will have to recuperate for months to come as the price of accessing the strength of the array formation covering the southern region without the unparalleled bloodline following through her veins was not small.
The A-rank space isolation barrier array covering the city had its rank raised to SSS rank because it was being empowered by the array formation covering the southern region as the additional effect of the trap card, Heaven's sanction, used by Agatha.
Now that all three of the enemy card semi-demigods were trapped, Number Ten's expression finally eased and he explained, " Death To All is a newly created card that has quickly risen to popularity as the number one curse card. Western forces first used it to clear the SSS-rank gate dungeon in the shortest amount of recorded time. Thanks to this card, they could even clear an SSS-rank field dungeon in a record-breaking time.

The halo you see on your head is an effect of the curse called the blessing of death. It appears on the head of the user and all his enemies within the 1km range of him.
If you are out of the 1km range of the user, you die.
If you kill the user, you die.
The only way to end this curse is to wait."
"How long?" hearing Number Ten explain the curse card used by the enemy Agatha let him off the hook. fortunately, she was not too hot-headed earlier and choose to follow Number Ten's instruction otherwise she would be dead right now. This was one of the reasons why she hated curse masters. These fucking asshole force you to play a game of life and death and never tell you the rules of the game.
"Until the halo on our head disappears, which could be anywhere from an hour to a day to a month or even a year. It depends on the price the user has paid to activate the curse card," Number Ten said grimly. If not for the southern emperor's signature trap card tarping the enemy within the bounds of the city, Number Ten would not be as relaxed as he was now.
"..." Number Nine quietly nodded to Number Ten's explanation. Number Ten was what you call a textbook card nerd, thanks to that he was a walking encyclopedia of cards used across the five regions. This was the reason why she chose to let Number Ten follow the other enemies along with Agatha controlling her impulse to take on the strongest enemy on the battlefield.
"Wait, from what you are saying we cannot kill that bastard?" Agatha asked in annoyance.
"Killing them was never on the table. Even though I am not sure which one of the three clones is the Boy's original body, since it is being held in their trap card, if we kill them the boy will forever be trapped in their grimoire," Number Ten reminded Agatha. Though there were aways to access a dead card apprentice's grimoire, Number Ten would rather make a safe bet.
