Chapter 1022: Spiritual Infancy [Bonus Chapter]
The fight was over, Sam left Nali to settle the wager and left the city instantly. He didn’t even bother to take out of the shuriken and knives on his back. Because, even though he could feel them on his back, they didn’t go into his skin.
They were blocked within the fabric mesh of the feather coat.
Sam ran into the forest and after making sure that none is there, he took out a wooden mannequin, he usually made clothes on and put his feather coat on it.
He looked at the back of the coat where the shuriken and knives are still stuck.
He injected fire elemental energy into the coat and it started glowing with golden light. He noticed that even if he injected the energy normally, it is flowing differently within the coat, most of it is going towards blades that were stuck in. The fabric mesh loosened there making the blades fall down.
All of this happened without Sam’s help. He was surprised and closed his eyes to try and form a mental connection with the coat but he couldn’t find any spirit in it, at least he couldn’t contact it.
After some thought, he took out the shadow sword and asked.
“I think the coat developed a spirit, but I cannot connect with it? What should I do?”
[How would I know you brat? But from the looks of it, there is indeed a spirit, you are just incompetent. Ever thought in that angle?]
Sam doesn’t know why the shadow sword is cranky but he didn’t bother and threw it inside, before taking out the Lightning blade. The saber which he got from Arman but rarely used.
“Do you understand what the current situation is? Since you are sent to help Arman, you might have an idea.”
The Saber Examined the coat and said.
[The spirit has formed, but it is in the stage of infancy. This happens sometimes in the natural spirit formation. When the spirit is formed naturally in the early stages of its formation, it would understand a few things naturally and one of them which is also the main factor for the type of spirit formed is the nature of the job of the weapon it is staying in.
Since the weapon is essentially the body of the spirit, it tries to understand its purpose properly to act that way.
This problem wouldn’t happen in the swords and other normal weapons as the purpose is easy to understand. In fact, if this is a normal armor, it wouldn’t have a problem. But since it in this form, it is being confused a bit.]
“So, what should I do to make it form properly?”
[You just need to fight and find a way for the coat to absorb as much as external damage. Since it is based on fire elemental objects, fight a fire elemental creature and let the coat take heat. That would simulate and it would cross this confusion state and slowly generate the spirit.
If all goes well and there is enough simulation, you would be able to make a faint connection instantly and within a month the spirit would be formed.]
“Thanks.”
He threw the blade back in the divine dimension and thought of what to do next.
If what Saber said is correct, then he doesn’t have to stop fighting, but he shouldn’t leave it to chance. He needs to find an opponent who is good with fire elements and need to take a lot of hits blocking with the coat instead of dodging them.
He looked through the notes in the places he wanted to visit for sparring matches and found the nearest one that could fit the requirements.
A tribe of Demi-giants.
Fire demi-giants to be precise.
The descendants of giants but not complete giants, beings with massive stature compared to humans and the beings with higher elemental affinity and physical strength than average humans.
That would be the next spot.
After that, he went to the cliff where the guards found them. He said to Nali that he would meet him there.
As he waited for them, Sam looked at the large vertical crater he created in the cliff and got an idea.
He took out the scythe and channeled his energy as he swung it a few times on the cliff.
After he was done a string of words appeared on the wall.
‘SAM WAS HERE’
The letters are massive and they would be visible from a few hundred meters even if no one focused here.
He then stabbed the tail end of the scythe into the wall in the middle of those letters and left it there.
All this while, everywhere he went there was a sign of presence. His organizational branch, or a disaster he brought up on the locals and so on.
There is no reason, why there shouldn’t be any sign here. He didn’t get the thought in the first two places, so he decided to start now.
As Sam was satisfied with the words, Nali made his way there along with a bunch of guards.
They looked at the words in awe as they exuded a faint aura of the scythe.
“Thanks for escorting my friend here. We will take our leave.”
Then Sam and Nali walked deeper into the forests and once they went to a desolate place, he took the dimensional drifter and both of them disappeared.
They reappeared at their next stop.
A planet in a different realm, which is closest to the star and is burning throughout the year.
The Planet that was ruled over by the Fire-Demi Giants.
The whole area surrounding them looked like the insides of the volcano.
The rock is red hot and lava streams flowed everywhere.
The trees are sparse and even the ones that are there are of an extremely rare kind. There is no sign of any forest as such in the surroundings; the most they found is a patch of trees.
Soon, they reached the nearest civilization. The city of the Fire Demi-Giants.
This planet is also an extreme place like the Tundra realm, but here there are other planets and they are connected to this with the wormholes, and this place is also not as extreme as the Tundra realm. So, there is little others could do to swindle them and the Demi Giants are aggressive by nature, they would kick the asses of whoever tried to take advantage of them.
The flow of people in and out of the city is decent.
Everyone they saw is tall. The shortest person they saw is at least seven and a half feet and he is a teenager who might grow more.
They all looked at Sam and Nali with smiles and invited them to their shops.
Sam courteously rejected them with a smile while Nali became extremely nervous.
Soon, they reached the administrative office from the direction of others and asked an officer.
“I would like to meet one of the elders of the Demi-Giants.”
Sam revealed his cultivation level and asked directly.
The first two places threw him in some kind of sticky situation, the third one was slightly better, he doesn’t want to create an unnecessary nuisance for himself so, he might as well take the direct approach.
“May I ask your purpose?” The officer asked calmly.
“I am a wanderer at the moment and I am traveling between different realms. I would like to have a sparring match with the strongest Demi-Giant in my cultivation level. And I would appreciate it if an elder was presiding it so that we can keep it all official.”
“Oh.”
The Demi giant was surprised a bit but still informed the elder.
Soon, Sam got a meeting with the Elder and they quickly cut a deal for a wager, and Sam was led to the fighting stage.
It is actually a cliff behind the city where many Demi-Giants are training.
The process was smooth.
Sam took out the reaper sword and got ready.
Even though he selected the place directly, he still picked the restriction himself.
Only using reaper sword, no elemental energies, and no styles.
But this is enough for him.
The reaper sword is one of the weapons he used most frequently.
Since the coat is generating the spirit, then the sword wouldn’t be that far away.
Luckily he gets to use it now.
He got ready to fight and his opponent is also ready as well.
The man he is facing is around nine feet tall with a large and muscular build.
He held a large battle hammer in his hands and swung it twice in the air as he looked at Sam coldly.
Both of them got ready as the Elder himself acted as the referee.
The giant ran towards Sam as he swung the hammer.
The giant hammer covered in flames came towards Sam who crossed his arms and blocked it directly.
The hammer landed and a flaming explosion covered him.
Everyone thought Sam was stupid, but he is smiling under that veil of flames as he looked at the spot where the hammer landed. The sleeves of the coat and he could see the changes of the energy he is injected into the coat because of the energy vision. It is working.
