Chapter 1244: Capture
Chapter 1244: Capture
For the next three days, Sam just waited as he looked at the two portals. But there is no movement whatsoever. The people that are stuck inside the formation with explosives are feeling panicky by now. They thought, they would be saved by their Fire Sect Leader and the Grand Elders.
But from the looks of it, they knew that their captors are looking forward to their arrival than them. On one hand, they want the sect leader to come and rescue them, but on the other hand because of the excitement Sam and the group are showing, they felt like if the sect leader and the grand elders came, and they died, the captives wouldn’t be useful to Sam.
For some odd reason, they didn’t want to find out and even felt that the situation they are in would freeze like that without any changes.
But the reality doesn’t work that way and they knew of it too. When the Portal showed the signs of someone arriving, they understood it even more clearly.
The Grand Elders arrived and as soon as they came, what they saw is Night Ghost standing in front of them.
He made a move and started beating the crap out of them while his ghosts also started working, after a while when they are beaten down a bit, they were made known of the explosive formation and what would the result be, if they didn’t anything funny.
After they were also captured, there is only target left.
At this moment, Sam went to meet Paras.
“How are you feeling?”
“A bit empty.”
“Seems like you are lot better than I thought.” Sam replied and said.
“Did you get the answers you are looking for?”
“Yes. But I didn’t feel what I thought I would feel when I got them.”
“Revenge always works that way. It fuels you with purpose and motivation throughout your whole life and then leaves you completely empty after that purpose was gone. At least, you are not going crazy over it and trying to kill yourself. From my experience ninety percent of people with your level of vengeance would always committing suicide.”
“I don’t want to die. I just…”
Sam didn’t push him and just waited for him to continue.
“Even though I got the answers, and knew the real reason for all of this happening, that only made me angrier first and then when I clearly digested the power and status of the people that are the cause of this, I felt so powerless that this whole purpose seemed empty.
All the effort I put in, all the lives I have taken, all the distance I travelled, All of this seemed meaningless.”
Sam thought for a moment and said.
“Do you know why Agni and Agun started working with me?”
Paras didn’t know the answer and just looked at him.
“They wanted to kill a god. The God Hou Yi. Because that guy possessed the leader of the Solar Fragment at the tribe and raped a woman. He saw her through this idol ritual which she is conducting and couldn’t control himself in the face of beauty and proceeded with this method.
It is neither his body nor his genitals, but for the brief moment in which he could feel her, he decided to take her in.
The Tribe chief rejected her because, he felt like he didn’t do anything to her and didn’t want to accept someone else’s ruins. The God Hou Yi didn’t care about her, in fact he would have already forgotten about her.
But the woman, got pregnant and twins are born. They don’t know who their father is. Biologically it is the tribe chief, but he didn’t take them in, mentally, it would Hou Yi, but he didn’t even care.
This is the story they told me when I met them. They knew they are hitting their peak of their potential and they are not going to go so far. They knew they cannot even fathom getting back at the God that ruined their lives, but she directly told me, that she wanted to kill Hou Yi herself.
Even now, she went back to the organization branch and started training kids with just my word, because she believes that I would be fulfilling her promise to let her land the final blow no matter what her strength is.
So, if you believe me just like she does, I would let you have your vengeance, the true vengeance.”
With that, Sam stood up and walked away. At the same time, Kiran ran over to inform that the Fire Sect leader came, but there is a small problem with that.
When Sam arrived, he was dumbfounded by what he saw.
Inside the Thunder Prison, three people are standing. One of them is obviously the Fire Sect leader and the other two are different. One dark elf lady and another person who seems to be her guardian.
Sam recognized her.
“You are that disciple of Vardar, aren’t you?”
“People call me Eleven now. And it would be better if you leave me now, before I get angry.”
“You are one cocky little girl. Why don’t you rein in your temper for a moment and stay put?”
Saber Monarch said from the side as he held a saber over his shoulder. The guardian looked at the surroundings vigilantly. He knew that he cannot escape the thunder prison for now. That is the first thing he tried.
“No matter what this is, we are sure that this has nothing to do with us. So, let us go and we will forget this ever happened.”
He spoke calmly, but Sam ignored him and looked at the Fire Sect leader.
“I am waiting for you to come, but you brought guests, if you hadn’t brought them over, things would have been a lot simpler.”
“Who are you?”
“Me? I am the guy who is responsible for the ruin of your whole legacy. I am the destroyed of the Five Great Sects, among many other organizations of course.”
“You? You caused all of this?”
“Yes, by the way, your four other sect leaders are dead.”
The Fire Sect leader was dumbfounded. He didn’t want to believe it, but when he thought of where Sam and the group currently are, he couldn’t help but believe him.
“Okay, now there are three ways to do it. The first one is, I will kill all three of you and leave this place.
The second one is that you kill yourself, and I will leave the other two to go back to wherever they came from.
The third one is that guardian would kill you, so that they could leave. You guys choose.”
The guardian gulped at this, because he knew he couldn’t kill the sect leader. He is not that strong.
“I cannot kill him. I am weak.” He directly blurted out without thinking. The sect leader looked at him coldly but he didn’t dare say anything. After all, Vardar has that guardian’s back. If anything fishy happened, he would be the one that has to pay.
“Well, then I would pick the first option. All three of you will die and I will leave the sect alone, Vardar wouldn’t be able to find you guys and wouldn’t know what happened. Since I will leave the sect alone and go away, he will take it out on the remaining Sect members.”
“Is there any option, in which I could live?” Fire Sect leader asked calmly.
Sam thought for a moment and turned to Paras.
“It is up to you.”
Paras too a deep breath and thought of the memories he has seen in the four sect leaders. That time, he could clearly see the fire sect leader in those memories, but his role is different from the rest.
After some contemplation he said.
“Give us your heirloom and we will leave you alone. Anyway, you wont be able to live here. With your sect weakened you will be going to that backup place of yours. I don’t really care whether you live or die.”
With that he turned around and left.
Sam raised an eyebrow and looked at the Fire Sect leader.
“You are in for some luck. So, you better cherish it. I won’t give you the same choice if I were him after all.”
The Fire sect leader looked around and gritted his teeth, before he took out his spatial ring and threw it to Sam.
He caught it and looked inside.
It has the last piece of the heirloom, Sam needs.
He opened the wrist screen and selected the Five Great sects. He didn’t care about the gods’ presence in the temple and just called for his teammates.
“You guys go back and come back after an hour.”
Sam said as he looked at the grand elders. They did as they were told and Sam removed the formation there.
Then his friends followed his instruction and removed the formations in different sects, before finally gathering at the Thunder Prison.
One after another, they started using transference scrolls as they appeared in cave residence, and finally Sam did the same as he called the thunder prison back.
Both the prison and him disappeared with only a difference of a second and finally the Five Great sects or at least what remained of them were free of him.
