Chapter 1514: Souls
The golems are made of the soil that was soaked with the black cursed blood of the undead creatures that were killed.
They are now carrying curses.
Avlyn noticed this and talked to her teammates.
"This kid is really vicious. The cursed soil. Even the G.o.dfather wouldn"t use such a thing to deal with people."
"Well, that is why G.o.dfather made a deal with this guy. But for that soil to be useful, it needs to go through the dome first.
Otherwise, it might as well be a normal golem." One of her subordinates replied.
"Of course that is true. Let"s wait and see what happens."
As they talked the city also started its counterattack. They shot the spheres out of the cannons from walls at the undead creatures and the golems that numbered dozens.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
The explosive energy curtains collapsed the golems. But the soil just joined in the ground and turned into golems once again. But this time, the fire elemental energy is not as thriving as before.
It is a bit duller than the first time.
While things are like this. Some of the subordinates went to the nearby mountain ranges and launched the lightning worms.
They are just like the Lava worms, they dug themselves into the ground at the foot of the mountain and climbed to the core of the mountain as they released their energy.
After a while, the mountains slowly started deforming as they turned into rock golems with lightning elements surging through them.
They ran towards the city and joined the earth and fire golems to attack the dome.
The number of golems kept on increasing. Hundreds turned into thousands and they are moving and surrounding the city from all the sides.
All the city is doing is shooting the cannons. The numbers are reducing but they are once again being refilled.
The spheres that are being shot are nothing more than just bare distractions that are not going to serve any purpose.
The time went on and the dome kept on taking hits.
By night, it started showing slight fluctuations within and Sivan knew that the time for the next attack is not too far away.
"We will launch the next step of attack in the dawn. Let the formation exhaust more energy."
Sivan said to the Divine league members as they relaxedly looked at the whole situation unfold.
Meanwhile, inside the city, everyone gathered for a meeting.
"The golems are increasing in number. By now, I swear I saw a ring valley form around the city a few miles away because of the soil"s absence and the mountains in the surroundings are already bare.
The Lightning worms or whatever are moving to different mountains to add in more golems. We need to attack back and reduce the numbers. We also need to stop using spheres, they are being wasted.
Let"s start using the domes within the city and the puppets. They are the only things that can be used now."
One of the core elders proposed directly.
"No, we are not using that. We are going to let the golems and undead attack the dome as much as they want.
The meeting is to explain what the further preparations are going to be. Not to take any of your suggestions. You will only be following orders and suggestions will only be appreciated, if you are asked for them."
The clan leader spoke calmly without a change of expression.
"Sir, what do you mean by that? So we are just soldiers that are going to follow the orders blindly?"
One of the old core elders asked in surprise.
"Yes. That is all you need to do from now on until the whole war is over. If you want to stay a member of the Gaja clan."
"But…"
"I already told you. The suggestions are appreciated only when they were asked. As for criticism, it is not appreciated no matter when it was.
You first listen to the plans and if you find anything wrong with them, then you can speak up. Or you can ask questions if you don"t understand anything. Otherwise, just shut up and do nothing."
The clan leader was decisive and didn"t give any leeway.
The whole room turned silent and the clan leader called for someone to explain the plans.
It is actually Grivon who took the job and he explained what they are going to do first.
After everyone heard it, they couldn"t help but widen their eyes in disbelief.
"Sir, this is going to be a very daring thing. The chances of failure are too many and if there is even one slight mistake on Sam"s part we would all be in a world of trouble."
"Well, your job is to prepare how to face that world of trouble if that arises.
So, our operators who are in charge of activating the undead legion would be on the move if something goes wrong and no matter what happens, the undead legion is going to buy us a lot of time.
But for it to completely activate, we will need a lot more time. So, the long rage regiment is in charge of buying us that time.
Gail and Gamin would be deterring the Peak stage powerhouses of the enemies while you do that.
As for the rest, we need to deal with them ourselves.
Does anyone have any other doubts?"
The clan"s leader still acted decisively and didn"t let anyone object to the plan. Even when he is asking them to voice their doubts, his expression and tone clearly indicated that he is not really going to take any of this nonsense.
They just nodded and agreed.
Everyone dispersed and Grivon went to Sam to give the go-ahead.
Sam who is currently sitting on one of the towers he built within the clan"s estate nodded and got ready.
He looked at Giyon and Grivon before saying.
"After I get hooked into this, I won"t be able to react to you for the next twelve hours. Follow the instructions for possible scenarios I have already written.
I think you can handle it if anything out of that comes out.
If you have any doubts just ask me now."
"Nothing, just be safe. Don"t let your mind go nuts in there."
Grivon said with a smile.
"Those are my same words. Just be safe and come back. Your body is waiting right outside of the gate.
Of course, there are at least twenty Peak stage Consummate cultivators of the Astral plane in between you and that, so I wouldn"t be surprised if you despair and lose your mind.
I just hope you don"t."
"There are many things that might throw me into despair. But I am sure this is not one. Anyway, thanks for the concern."
"Sir, the set-up is ready."
One of the subordinates interjected as Sam and the siblings are talking.
"Okay then, I will be back in twelve hours at the latest."
Sam walked into the room where there is a large circle was drawn. It is full of inscriptions and runes and a dozen people are sitting around that circle.
In the middle of the circle, Sam sat down with his legs crossed. He took deep breaths slowly as he calmed down.
After closing his eyes for five minutes, the spectre slowly flew out of the divine dimension fragment and it hovered around Sam.
"You better not try anything funny. Or you know what will happen."
Sam muttered and the spectre literally shuddered in the air.
"Activate the formation."
Sam muttered again and the people sitting around started the formation.
The lines and runes on the circle brightened up.
The spectre went on to attach itself to Sam giving out a faint glow.
Sam felt extremely lost. He felt detached from the body at the moment.
From various corners of the tower, several souls started protruding as they entered the formation.
They are all trying to catch Sam and devour his own soul.
At this moment, Sam"s soul came out of his body and became visible to the naked eye.
The spectre that was attached to the body also came out and merged with Sam"s soul.
Sam"s soul became a bit distorted. The spectre which in itself is a combination of many souls is acting up a bit as it managed to attach to Sam in his most vulnerable situation.
The souls that are coming at him to attack suddenly felt shackled within the formation and soon, they started turning into faint compressed orbs that are floating.
The floating orbs gathered around him and hovered within the formation range.
The orbs increased as the souls kept on joining the formation.
Dozens became hundreds and hundreds became thousands.
As time pa.s.sed, one could even notice the difference between the sizes of the orbs. The biggest is obviously the souls of higher-level creatures.
The size of the soul is directly proportional to how powerful it is and what level the cultivator or the beast was when the soul was extracted.
After all of the orbs were gathered, they all flew away from the formation and then the tower as they moved in different directions all over the city.
At this exact moment, the dome of the city disappeared.
