Chapter 824: Special treatment
Chapter 824: Special treatment
Sam is really pissed right now, even though he prepared himself for something to happen, he didn’t expect that they would land directly in the middle of a space lock.
If only he was a bit more cautious, he would have appeared in a different location altogether.
It would be a lie if he said that he never expected a group of feathered waiting for him, but he didn’t expect them to stay with a formation and everything set up right at the location.
So, even his minor preparations are for naught in that situation.
At this moment, he moved towards the walked feathered rapidly. When they saw him coming on the harbinger, they are shocked. Even though they saw him following their captain, they felt that he wouldn’t be coming any time soon, so they are moving leisurely.
Now they don’t even have time or strength to fly away as Sam did a number on those wings which is the reason for them to walk now.
When Sam neared them, he took out a large metallic ball. It is large enough to be considered a boulder and it is at least on the size of an elephant head.
Sam lightly threw the ball into the air and ax kicked it into the ground straight with the golden flames enveloping his leg.
The fire elemental energy was spread through the ball and it was activated while falling down.
It hit the ground with severe impact. By now the feathered already started dispersing. But it was of no use, the ball was activated and purple smoke came out of it along with some orange flames as metallic spikes launched out of it.
Those are the spikes of sea urchin. The orange flame and purple smoke are the combinations of the bio-fuel and the poison. Which act as fuel and go through the intrinsic formation of the spikes that shot themselves out of the ball.
The spikes tore through the air and lodged themselves into the bodies of the feathered. The poison was injected properly and after the impaling of the spikes, the feathered are stuck on the spot. Some of them are dead right there.
While the rest are not. But they will soon not be, now the holes on the ball that previously housed the spikes are emitting gas at high pressure as it spun rapidly on its own axis and the gas spread all over.
The Gas is methane, after the gas was completely leaked, a clicking sound came from the metallic ball and the methane gas was set on ablaze.
The feathered who are within the range of the gas was caught onto the fire as they rolled on the ground.
All of this happened within a second after Sam kicked it into the ground. It is very rapid.
Sam moved away while they are burning to see if there are any other left within a certain range.
Noticing that no one was here, he took out the chessboard and let out the Wights and Ghouls.
“Go and make undead of any corpse you can find intact.”
The Wights and Ghouls dispersed after taking the order, Sam went to his beasts. He camped right there and then waiting for the Wights and Ghouls to come.
And it didn’t take long at all.
He looked at the Ghouls and said.
“If the corpses are not intact eat them to your fill, no need to report to them. This place is going to be your breeding ground soon.”
One of the ghouls brought the metallic ball he previously used and gave it to him.
He stored it away in the divine dimension and got ready for what is about to happen. This Goddess Nike really did put her head it doesn’t belong. Now he is going to make her regret it.
Meanwhile deep within in the inner circle of the city.
While the middle-aged feathered who has black wings is sitting in a room that looked like an office. While he is looking out of the window, he saw a golden flash coming and he couldn’t help but frown. He instantly ran out of the office and went to the temple, where that golden flash landed.
When the golden glow was gone, it revealed the female captain and Arkiv, both of them unconscious and the female captain barely breathing.
His eyes widened in horror when he saw the half-cut wing on her back.
He ran towards them and separated them both, he threw Arkiv to the side and carried her as he walked inside the temple.
The other subordinates and attendants are also here by now, so when he was about to enter, he ordered others to bring him inside.
Another feathered with grey wings carried Arkiv inside.
They entered a room deep inside the temple in which there is a tranquil pool of water. They placed both of them in the water and activated a formation.
“Leave them alone. From the looks of it, they will take a few weeks to recover.”
With that both of the left.
The Black-winged man went into his office, but the grey-winged man also followed him in.
“What happened, brother? Did the plan fail?” The grey-winged man asked the Black-winged man.
“I don’t know. But from the looks of it, something severe really happened. The only reason I sent her is that the goddess Nike clearly said that he is the most troublesome of all. But I didn’t see this coming. He is more troublesome than we thought.
He almost killed and pushed her to the point that she even used the golden feather while carrying that guy. She should have just dumped him there and escape. As stubborn as ever.”
“What do we do next? Should I send people to search for him and investigate?”
“Yes, but not right away. Let him be, for the time being, there is a possibility that he would come looking for us soon anyway So, we will send a batch when he is near the city’s outer circle, we would be able to see the traces by then, so we don’t have to waste any time or resources on him.”
“But is it really okay that we let him be? The Goddess said that he has a bag of tricks, what if he does something crazy? We would be in trouble. Why don’t we send some transcendent stage cultivators after him?”
“No, we cannot do that unless it is our last resort. Our situation is extremely delicate, for the next year, various gods will be watching over us. Our Goddess is no match for them, and most of them are on par with Zeus himself. At least that is what she said, so we have to be careful, otherwise, we would be bringing trouble to our goddess.
What we are doing is already unfair to those players, we cannot add in more.”
“Okay brother, we will do as you say.”
Meanwhile, there is a completely different scenario unfolding in the next city.
This city is also most similar to the first one. There is an exact same temple here and there is a woman standing at the entrance with Electric blue wings.
She is waiting for someone and soon the wait is over as a bunch of feathered brought two humans along with them. One of them is Akhil and the other guy is someone from the Lightning spear sect. The second player that came from the sect and is named Dayus.
Both of them are escorted by a bunch of feathered men.
But both of them are in completely different states.
Akhil is unconscious with many wounds on his body and Dayus is without a single scratch on him.
Dayus looked at Akhil and felt a little nervous.
He then looked at the silver-winged woman standing in front.
“Welcome to our city Dayus. I am Artika, your host for the next year.”
“Why did you bring me here?” Dayus asked nervously, even though he was already told that nothing would happen to him in Nike and even people there would help him, he is still a bit wary of these people.
“You don’t have to be nervous. That palace of inheritance or whatever it is called will open in a year and this year, I would give you some special training which would be useful for your growth.”
He nodded and looked at Akhil.
“What about him? Are you going to kill him?”
“No, we have strict orders not to kill any of your peers. We were only asked to capture them and even then we couldn’t much to them.”
“But, he is injured badly?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. That is just because of a small trap we laid for them to fall in. He would be healed in a week or so.
You can make yourself comfortable here. They will show you the residence and if you need anything, ask the attendants to arrange for you.
The training will begin tomorrow. You can relax until then.”
“What about the rest of the players?”
“We have six cities in each city there are two players. But the rest of them wouldn’t get the same treatment as you, so there is a high chance that they are in the more or less the same shape as this guy.”
