Chapter 1825: Final Move
Mia retreated as soon as she injected all the poison.
The clan leader used his Divine senses to look around to observe and see if anything is happening.
He saw all the beasts that just attacked him without even giving him time to breathe standing at a fair distance away.
He then saw Sam sitting under a tree with his legs and body broken. He is sure that if he could land one more hit on Sam, he could kill him. But right now the beasts that brought him to this state, are all there to protect Sam.
He doesn"t have enough confidence to deal with Sam, but he remembered something else.
"Three hours. They are almost up."
He painfully moved his head to look at the formation around the city, in three hours the formation will be opened and the beasts wouldn"t be able to save Sam. Sam is going to die.
There are only a couple of minutes left for the time limit to be up and if he could escape, the beasts wouldn"t have a chance to chase after him. He felt like this is his best shot to escape.
He charged all of his left over spiritual energy and started burning his own life essence as he gained a burst of energy and tried to escape.
"So close."
The players clenched their fists as they looked at the scene.
They all looked at Sam and they are stunned by what they saw, s.p.a.ce fluctuated as reaper sword appeared in Sam"s mouth. He held the sword by its hand with his mouth and he disappeared from the spot.
A portal opened in his sky right above the clan leader and he saw bloodied Sam appear with the sword in his mouth.
Sam burned all of his energy and used his wings to spin in the air, the sword slashed at the throat of the clan leader directly slicing his head off.
The head slid off of the neck and the body crashed into the ground.
At the same time, Sam"s body went limp as he glided and fell.
Sky flew over and caught him right before he hit the ground and landed safely.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden development. n.o.body expected that Sam would such a sudden move at the last second.
Noah was the first one to come out of her daze and she immediately ran over to Sam along with k.u.mar.
"Activate our backup plan."
She said anxiously as she looked at the fluctuating formation around the city, the clan leaders are about to come forward and take over the city.
She made some hand signs and slammed her hands on the ground.
The whole city turned into a giant forest in an instant as large trees grew over everywhere. The trees formed a giant dome and as the clan leaders outside saw the forest grow they observed something else as well.
All the trees and wildlife in the surrounding hundred mile radius started withering away.
The beasts, trees, gra.s.s and even the fish in the water, everything started losing its vitality and within a few seconds, the whole area outside the city is devoid of any vegetation of life.
The trees then arched into a large dome that surrounded the whole city.
She then started taking out a bunch of transference scrolls.
Noah, Sam, and the other players all took the transference scrolls and she even handed them over to Sam"s beasts.
They all tore the scrolls and disappeared from there.
But as soon as they disappeared a bunch of roots gathered together and created a few humanoid structures in the middle of the forest where they previously were.
Soon, these humanoids became the exact replica of Sam, Noah, and other players and they even emitted the same aura.
Meanwhile, the whole gang appeared inside a cave a few miles away from the city where a proper spatial transfer formation was set up.
While k.u.mar prepared to activate it, Noah fed Sam some medicine.
All the beasts looked at Sam with water welling up in their eyes.
She sighed as he looked at him. This might be the worst state she has seen him in.
His body is severely damaged. There might not be a single bone intact without breaking. His internal organs are damaged as well. He is internally bleeding. The only saving grace is he is regenerating albeit slowly.
All she is hoping now is to stop the bleeding and give him medicine to replenish his energy.
Soon the formation was ready and all of them left to a much farther place.
Only after arriving there did they heave a sigh.
"What about the kid though?"
Arkiv asked on their way and Noah gestured to her divine dimension fragment.
"I already swapped the kid the first chance I got. That is why I was confident that I could escape the kid even if Sam lost. Luckily he didn"t lose and managed to finish it in time.
If he had lost, I don"t know how long the wooden dome would have held so many divine plane cultivators."
It is a good thing that Noah worried about that. It is not long.
A few minutes after they disappeared, one of the Divine plane cultivators managed to burn through the wooden dome, and in the process he even killed a lot of citizens and clan members.
At this moment, Noah lets the child out of the fragment and places him beside Sam who is recovering. She knew since the final task of Sam is related to the child, once the child is with Sam, it would be over.
But to her surprise, that didn"t work.
At this moment, the void hopper went back into the divine dimension and brought the heavenly wine out.
Noah"s eyes lit up as she made Sam drink it. And finally, after a few minutes, he woke up.
His bones are healing, but they are still fractured, but at least he is conscious and alive.
Sam looked at the child in front of him and looked at Noah who explained the situation, he thanked her before grabbing the child and disappearing into the divine dimension fragment that Sam used to place Maya and her other kids.
When he arrived inside the Divine dimension fragment, he is shocked by the scene in front of him.
Inside there is a projection of Lucifer and a virtual screen in front of Maya.
Three hours earlier.
As soon as the fight started, Lucifer arrived in front of Maya in this Divine Dimension fragment and asked if she wanted to see the final showdown Sam is going to go through to get her child.
When she nodded, he made this screen appear and made her watch the whole fight.
From the point when Sam and other people faced the mercenaries, the disciples and elders, the fight with the players, and finally the fight with the clan leader.
She was shocked so many times and got pained whenever she saw Sam getting beaten the c.r.a.p out of him.
Now as soon as Sam appeared, she saw him with tearful eyes. The kids don"t know what their mom is crying about, they all tried to calm her down. But this only made her cry more.
Lucifer looked at Sam and winked before he left.
Sam didn"t know what is happening, but he doesn"t have the energy to calm the mother and the kids down, he just handed over the final kid to Maya and said.
"Here, I fulfilled my promise to you. All of your kids are here with you."
His voice is weak and he still looked bloodied. Maya wept harder as she hugged her child.
Sam disappeared from the fragment and so was Maya and the kids, everyone came outside and finally Sam and the other players heard the message in their minds indicating that the task is over.
But they were given a few hours to tie up the loose ends here.
This is clearly a grace period given to Sam.
He heaved a sigh of relief and first decided to clean up and of course, he had to catch up with the beasts.
Two hours later at a nearby lake, Sam is sitting along with the beasts as they all ate together. Sam really missed them and he really wished he doesn"t have to put them away once again.
So, he decided to take as much time as possible.
At this moment, Maya came over to him.
She bowed to Sam and the beasts and said.
"I thank you will of my heart, I don"t know how I can express my grat.i.tude. This is a debt that I cannot repay."
Sam shook his head and said.
"Don"t worry about it. As you know it is a task from Lucifer. I had to do it."
He paused and handed a letter over to her along with a recording crystal and continued
Anyway, in a few hours, I will send you to my place. There, my friends will be in charge. If you meet them and give them these two things, they will arrange everything for you and your kids.
You can live peacefully there until your kids grow up. Later on, if you want to leave after a decade or so, you can leave. But I suggest you stay there for the time being."
Maya took those things with both of her hands respectfully.
"And there is one more thing. I learned a little bit about your condition from Lucifer and I know the cause of all the problems you are facing.
If you want to know about it, I can tell you now."
Maya froze and then nodded.
