Wyatt attempted various methods to remove the hourglass relic from his possession, but he only sensed its eerie vampiric power becoming more potent. The devil wore a sinister grin while observing Wyatt's efforts to free himself from the true relic yield no results. Within his three rule domains, he could have effortlessly seized the Hourglass relic by harnessing the combined force of his three rules to enhance his swiftness.

However, Belphegor opted against that course of action. Recognizing that Wyatt's eagerness to obtain his true relic before him might cause him to abandon caution, Belphegor anticipated that Wyatt would unhesitatingly seize his downfall driven by greed, without harboring any suspicions.

"Kid, knowing your greed for my relic has spiraled into your undoing, how does it feel?" Belphegor inquired of Wyatt, clearly amused. He derived immense satisfaction from the entire scenario and found himself thoroughly entertained by it.

"Cursed Blood Refining, let's see if you devour me first or I enslave you," Dark blood poured out Wyatt's body and covered the entire hourglass relics body. His plan was simple to use curse blood refining to break its connection with the devil Belphegor and have the consciousness of the Hourglass relic submit to him before it drains him dry. 

Wyatt contemplated the idea of detaching his arm, to which the Hourglass relic was stubbornly attached. However, upon observing the devil's self-satisfied expression, he abandoned that plan. Instead, he opted to employ the Curse Blood Refining, a skill of the Blood Curse meaning of the blood rule. Previously, he had used it to refine curses but now his goal was to sever the relic's bond with the devil and force it into submitting itself to him.

If Wyatt had been just a Card Master, he would have been unable to refine the relic before it drained his life energy completely. However, with his newfound power from the fusion of twelve SSS-rank curse incarnations and his connection to the celestial force of the Card World, attempting to refine the true relic through his cursed blood didn't seem implausible and appeared achievable.

Sensing the malevolent energy emanating from the Blood rule power covering the hourglass relic, the eerie smile on Belphegor's face gradually faded. As he started to sense his link with the hourglass relic being disrupted and weakening, a look of disbelief and anger contorted his monstrous face. With determined urgency, he charged toward Wyatt with his full strength, intent on preventing him from utilizing the blood rule to refine the hourglass relic. 

The wind appeared to surge to life, aiding Belphegor's swiftness as he closed in on Wyatt leaving a fiery trail in his wake, fully intent on ending his life and seizing the hourglass even from his lifeless body. Wyatt, however, paid no heed to the devil's approach. His attention remained fixed on the task of refining the hourglass relic, using his method of refining it with his cursed blood.

Just a short distance from Wyatt, the heedlessly advancing Belphegor encountered a powerful, unseen force pushing him away, preventing him from getting within a few feet of Wyatt's immediate surroundings. When Belphegor attempted to exert his strength to overcome this repelling force and continue his charge, the force manifested as a spectral vision of a world, creating the illusion that he was contending against an entire world itself. 

Witnessing this apparition of the world encasing Wyatt within it, Belphegor couldn't help but recognize that, despite his efforts to avoid underestimating Wyatt, he had still gravely miscalculated. The devil believed it wasn't entirely his fault; it was a consequence of Wyatt's astounding rate of advancement. From the onset of their confrontation, Belphegor gradually comprehended that Wyatt's capabilities were expanding throughout their battle. Although Belphegor had encountered numerous prodigious individuals throughout his existence, none had exhibited the remarkable degree of growth that Wyatt demonstrated. Every instance Belphegor believed he had vanquished Wyatt, the young man would inevitably return even more resilient than before. Astonishing the devil. 

After successfully eliminating all five devils and the last of the six demon army, the group of 75 demigods of the southern royal family assembled gradually around the three overlapping rule domains conjured by the devil. Their combined attention was focused on the central figures within these domains. These towering beings stood amidst a turbulent tempest, suspended above a volatile expanse of molten magma. Their profound presence emitted an essence reminiscent of celestial entities. The robust, fiery figure resembled a sun, while the graceful, slender form evoked the likeness of a blue-green, resplendent full moon.

At this moment, a pair of persistent thoughts circulated within each of their minds that stemmed from the inability of their mind to fathom the reality unfolding before them. They grappled with the astonishing realization that the card apprentice confronting the mohawk devil, originally regarded as a mere card master, had truly evolved into a being of remarkable prowess. 

Equally perplexing was the fact that this very card master had adeptly managed to confront and contain the most formidable among the six summoned devils – an accomplishment that had demanded the combined efforts of almost seventeen demigods to overcome a single devil among the other five.

"Captain, any idea how he is doing that?" A demigod from team one asked her captain. 

"Judging from the cursed energy mixed in his energy signature isn't apparent?" the Captain of team two replied before his colleague and then continued to add, "I read in his file that he borrowed the power of a devil to defeat Agent Forger aka the Miracle. Do I need to say more?"

"What cost do you thing the Master Wyatt is paying for his current power?" the female demigod member of team one from earlier asked in concern. 

"Now that is interesting of all, his file read that he claimed he managed to win a wager against the devil so he did not have to pay anything for the power he borrowed from it. The way I see it this boy is clearly an adrenaline enthusiast, a reckless gambler, or a liar."
