Chapter 1281: Reversed Trapping
Chapter 1281: Reversed Trapping
Sam felt like a Dumb Fuck.
That is what he wanted to call himself. If not for the fact that he didn’t want to embarrass himself before these pipsqueaks, he would have yelled that out loud. And he should thank the fate that he was in a different body and is now literally a different person.
Otherwise, he would never know where to keep his head from then on. At least, this head would be gone when he meets Sivan once again.
There is one more thing he is really grateful for and that is the fact that his friends are not here to see this.
If his three friends and particularly Philip has seen this state of his, he would never ever hear the end of this for the rest of his life, and maybe if possible that asshole would follow him to the next lives to come and yap about it.
It is that embarrassing.
Sam really lost himself in the feeling of finding these perfect candidates and just didn’t care to investigate as much. He became cocky too as he felt that he had nothing to worry about in the middle of these weaklings. But he was really outdone.
First Sivan and now these little brats, he has been suffering defeat one after another and he couldn’t help but feel frustrated and luckily, he has perfect targets standing in front of him.
First Ghost looked at Sam and then at the rest of the Government Expedition squad who are dying one by one far away.
“This is the favorite part, whenever we do this. I can’t help myself but explain my grand plan every time. So, you have no choice but to hear about it as you suffer that pain.”
He spoke to Sam in a calm tone.
“Actually, we are not three or four people. I am a single entity. I am a ghost chimera created by the merging of a few thousand specters and I took over the combined consciousness of this all.
This place didn’t turn into the Dark range because of the dead elephants. I am the reason for this. A cocky piece of shit buried me here. I was a specter and I was sealed here, buried completely by a necromancer who nurtured me. But I hate to be a part of that guy. I don’t like him and I don’t want to be his weapon.
So, when I tried to rebel, this is what I got.
But too bad, he chose the wrong spot. The Dark elephants, that came over here died miserably and this triggered the seal that was placed on me. That bastard wanted to use me as a weapon in a desperate situation. He didn’t want to give up on me completely. Now, he cannot do that though.
I am now free. I must really thank that elephant race. Once I am out, I used all the skills I stole from my previous master to make this place as it is. Everything in the place is my servant and everything does what I say.
Once we devour you, then we will no longer have to limit ourselves to this place. We will take over the town and the continent and the planet.
And this little purgatory formation you have given me and the information in your soul will be your greatest contributions for my raise.
One day, I will raise ahead of all the other creatures and everything will be consumed by death.”
Sam couldn’t help but feel even more embarrassed by his words. This is the lowest point in his life. Even being outplayed by Dayus and Sivan is not this embarrassing. At least one of those guys is a player and another one is extremely talented and intelligent, this specter, however…
This is an utter disgrace.
Sam looked at the First Ghost and said.
“You are right, I am really stupid.”
As soon as he spoke, he suddenly walked out of the formation as if nothing happened.
The three ghosts were stunned. They clearly saw the painful expression Sam had as he walked out of that place, it really did hurt him. So, there is no way he could have just come out of that place like that.
But what they don’t know is that Sam’s consciousness didn’t just have his soul. He has Sivan’s remaining dormant soul as well.
The purgatory tortures the soul of the victim. If this is his original body and his soul wasn’t forcefully duplicated, his regular mental energy is more than enough for him to overcome this purgatory formation.
But now that he doesn’t have that, the alternative is to either suffer the brunt of the formation with his soul and kill these guys later or to let the suffering completely go to this dormant soul and kill these guys now.
And for some reason, he doesn’t want to give this specter any satisfaction of his suffering, so he went with the first option and as an added bonus, the dormant soul would become an easy pick for him to absorb.
The three ghosts moved away immediately and the Sentient Undead, which is also part of the specter came at Sam.
That is the only thing that could match him in direct combat. The three bodies or the three ghosts would be easily killed.
Sam extended his left mechanical hand upwards and channeled his energy.
The Sentient undead’s body suddenly stopped in his tracks and was lifted up by an invisible force.
The three ghosts had a shocked expression, but soon they saw something spectacular when they tilted their heads a bit.
The mechanical arm projected an arm condensed purely out of energy and caught this guy in the spot without letting him have any chance to move.
And the condensed energy is actually transparent, at least at the start, it is slowly showing.
Sam channeled a wave through the energy and…
*BOOM*
It exploded directly.
The body of the sentient undead turned into meat pulp. The only reason, he didn’t use any of these attacks, is that he wanted to test his combat ability with these limbs. He didn’t have any practice after he attached these objects to him and now the undead was a perfect target for the practice.
He was just having some practice and felt that there is still some chance to let these guys capture this thing. But now he doesn’t have to worry about that.
The undead body is mashed.
Not even the bones are spared.
There is a large crater and a corporal specter is standing in the middle of it. It looked just like a normal human, but Sam knew better than that.
He created an energy barrier around this specter and let him crash around while he used the mechanical arm to project the energy arm and pick the formation flags of the purgatory formation.
He stabbed those flags in a triangle around this specter and made it go crazy.
*SCREEEEECCCCCH*
The screeching sound was heard and even the commotion of the undead creatures and their fights didn’t stop that screeching.
All the undead creatures are diverted towards Sam and the three ghosts started running away.
But Sam didn’t plan on letting anyone go.
He kicked on the ground with his mechanical leg and an energy explosion happened at the same time it boosted Sam out of that place.
With that single kick, Sam arrived right in front of the three. He kicked the first ghost and grabbed the other two with his remaining two arms.
The kick killed the first one and the specter fragment inside of him flew away and merged with the main fragment inside the purgatory.
Sam threw the other two into the formation and soon they started screaming. All of a sudden, the undead creatures that were charging at him halted in their tracks.
Without anyone controlling their motion, it is impossible for all these creatures to move and since their bond wasn’t cut off, they are not going to go berserk.
He looked at the specter struggling inside purgatory formation and walked towards it. Then he started channeling his energy into the formation to make sure that the energy never runs off.
“LET ME GOOO.”
The specter screamed on top of his lungs. But Sam didn’t care. He just channeled his energy and created hell for it.
After half an hour, Sam finally opened his mouth.
“You have two choices. You either die trying to get out of this formation or you become my slave. I will place my soul imprint on you and you would be locked forever with me.
You have no freedom, no choice, and no peace.
But the first option wouldn’t be as short as you think it is.
I will not let you die and I will not let you feel at peace.
This torture will go on for a year and I will add the formations attached to this so that the energy output will increase. I will hire people to capture specters to add to the purgatory and torture you until you feel like you are better off disappearing and wishing for it but never obtaining it. The choice is yours.”
