Wyatt took an oath in the presence of the blood-rule source that he would help the Elder Anesthesia Dragon get out of the blood-rule source safely and help it regain its ability.

By bringing the Dragon out of the blood-rule source in his monster orb card, Wyatt had not only managed to help the Dragon get out of the blood-rule source safely but also helped it regain its ability as he had promised in his oath.

Back in the Blood-rule source, the Dragon was lost because of his greed. By this, Wyatt did not mean it by trying to pit the celestial blood-rule slave and deviant devil against each other and became the final victor with their demise. He meant it literally.

This had to do with the deviant devil's blood rule domain which had managed to stripe the Dragon's innate dream escape ability.

The only reason the Dragon was so confident in its innate ability was because many powerful and smartest beings had tried and failed to stop the Dragon's innate dream escape ability. So the Dragon believed that when beings of that caliber were unable to stop the Dragon's escape then the deviant devil and the celestial blood-rule slave too would not be able to stop its escape using its innate dream escape ability.

However, the deviant devil surpassed its imagination, it not only managed to stop it from escaping but also stripped its innate ability from it. Though from the Dragon's perspective, it looked like its confidence and greed became its downfall. When actually it underestimation of the deviant devil's brilliance became its downfall.

The Dragon would agree that it underestimated the deviant devil but it would not know how much it had underestimated the deviant devil because since the very beginning of the battle the Dragon's every move was within the calculation of the deviant devil. When the Dragon foolishly believed that it was playing the deviant devil and the celestial blood-rule source to complete its agenda.

When Wyatt looked back at the battle between the Dragon and the deviant devil, he could not help but wonder if the devil was so powerful why did it not actually subdue the Dragon from the get-go?

Wyatt understood that if the deviant devil came in hot to subdue it the Dragon would instantly escape using its innate dream escape ability, but the Dragon did mention that the deviant devil's muscles had saved the 'awakened form' born from its dream field in its muscle memory.

So if the deviant devil did not want to let the Dragon escape using its innate dream ability shouldn't it immediately transform into its awakened form that was born from the dragon's dream field such that it stood a chance to put up even a bit of struggle if the dragon were to escape?

Instead, the deviant devil never showed the sign of entering its 'awakened form' that was born from the Dragon's dream field. That's because it had other means at its disposal to counter the Dragon's innate dream escape ability.

Wyatt clearly remembers, that as soon as the dark filth covering the Dragon summoned the devil, the first that to come through the other side was not the deviant devil but the devil's blood rule domain. The devil had not even stepped into the blood-rule source but it deployed its blood-rule domain wide enough to cover the Dragon and Wyatt.

Why do that? That was because was the crucial part of the deviant devil's plan to counter the dragon's innate dream escape ability. From the looks of it, the devil's compression of the blood rule was not on par with its strength but on par with the dragon's strength. Meaning, that the proficiency of the devil's blood-rule domain was not something one would expect from an apex ruler class but an uncommon ruler class like the Dragon.

That showed that the deviant devil's comprehension of the blood rule was not strong enough, blood-rule wasn't its main rule. It can be because of many reasons such as lack of aptitude for blood rule but considering the deviant devil was an apex ruler-class being backed by a ruler-class family he could afford a few realms will fragments to make up for his lack of blood-rule affinity. That leaves us with only one assumption, that the deviant devil started practicing the blood rule recently. Explaining why for someone of its strength its conjured blood rule realm was on par with that of the Dragon's.

What must be the reason for the Dragon to not use its main rule and use blood rule to confront the Dragon? Aside from the fact that the Dragon was in the blood-rule source, the only other reason was that the Devil had found a way to counter the Dragon's innate dream escape ability in the blood-rule. Which explains why it only recently dewelled into blood-rule mastery.

As for the Dragon being in the blood-rule source, as far as the Deviant Devil was concerned, it was a lucky coincidence helping it mask the true reason it was using the blood-rule domain when its main rule was something else entirely.

The reason why the Deviant Devil deployed its blood-rule domain through the dark filth portal even before it stepped in the blood-rule source had to do something with the blood-rule meanings used to forge its blood-rule domain. There were mostly miscellaneous and obvious blood-rule meanings that can body could recognize, but hidden underneath them was the blood-rule meaning that the Deviant Devil had prepared to counter the Dragon's innate dream escape ability.

This blood rule meaning did not immediately stop the dragon from using its innate dream escape ability, it needed time for it to work its magic. This was why the Devil deployed the blood-

rule domain even before its arrival and stalled by talking trash to the Dragon. Like how the Dragon was buying time the devil to was buying time for its plan to work.
