Sam looked at the group of twenty-seven people who are making a formation.
There are eight women in the team and they are in the rear of the formation. He looked at them and found out that the formation is something he was a little familiar with but he couldn"t put a finger on it.
The leader, the young man who spoke said as he looked at Sam.
"Let us do it this way. We will attack with the full power with our ultimate move, which could take down even a mid-stage Great mage.
If you can still defeat us in this exchange you will win."
Sam didn"t say anything and just nodded in agreement. This will make things easier for him. He took out the harbinger and reached the maximum height he could fly.
He is more than fifty feet above the arena. But the novices didn"t feel fl.u.s.tered at all.
"Thunder-wolf squad. The thunder-wolf formation ultimate move. Thunder Fang."
The leader shouted and all the members in the team started channelling the energy. Sam could see that Azure blue coloured electric currents started condensing and out of them a wolf silhouette was condensed.
Sam looked at the intensity of the formation spirit which is clearly many times stronger than the earthen gorilla and Hawk he encountered previously.
He took out the reaper as well as the Executioner.
The Executioner is absorbing the blood essence of Hydra and it is evolving. Right now it is already at the peak of rank 3 and just a bit away from the rank 4.
The rest of the gadgets are only at rank 2 including the Harbinger, and his black coat when he compares them solely based on their material grades.
Sam held the two swords in his two hands and looked at the still condensing wolf spirit.
The sky above is crackling with lightning, but Sam still stood there on the Harbinger as if he was invincible.
"ATTACK"
The leader of the squad shouted on top of his lungs.
The wolf raised its head. It is more than twenty feet tall. But it is still more powerful than the formation spirits he has seen before.
Sam started condensing the elemental energies into two blades one with fire and another with wind.
As soon as the wolf leapt with its mouth wide open, Sam also stored away his harbinger as he dived head first.
The executioner was filled with wind element while the reaper is filled with fire element.
He crossed his hands while still holding the swords.
Just before the wolf spirit and he met, Sam opened his hands as he swung the swords.
"Two sword style, Dual wing slash."
Two sword rays came out one with golden flames burning and the other with white light.
First the fire ray landed on the wolf followed by the wind blade raging the flame intensity.
The wolf spirit which was coming at him in a ferocious manner clashed with the attack and immediately dissipated into thin air.
And the raging fire still moved in the same speed towards the group.
The whole arena was covered in fire and the wails of the squad can be heard. But a loud explosive boom drowned their cries.
*BOOM*
The loud explosion was none other than Sam landing on the stage.
The stage exploded into ruins and stone fragments are flying around.
"NO…."
The Great mage level squad members jumped over to help their juniors. But when the dust settled, they stopped in their tracks as they saw a daunting figure who is standing in the centre.
Sam"s upper body was bare and was only covered with some rags of cloth revealing all the scars on his body.
He held both swords in his hands as his back faced the group who fell unconscious but still effected by the fire. He looked at the Great mage members who are about to step up coldly.
They didn"t know why, but they felt afraid of going onto the stage.
They felt like Sam is a predator who is lording over his territory and if they dared to enter the territory they would definitely die.
Sam stored his swords away and looked at the surroundings before turning back to the Great realm cultivators.
"You can save them if you want and if you want to take revenge, I suggest you let go of that plans and stay obedient.
Because, I have already reached the limits of my tolerance. If you guys provoke me again, I won"t have any qualms on reaping the lives of yours like fruits from a tree."
He turned around and was about to walk away. But he turned around again and walked towards the General.
He whispered in a low voice, so only two of them could hear it.
"I know that you cannot touch the remaining teammates. If you still wish to oppress them then do so with all your heart, I am pretty sure that the next batch are not that easily pushed around.
But there is one thing I am going to warn you about; you better open your ears and listen to me clearly.
Don"t you dare make a move on Watt. If I find out, something happened to him, even if it is the slightest attack, ambush, oppression whatever it is.
If something happened to him, I will come and take your life."
At these words, General almost laughed up in mockery and sensing this Sam just continued his words.
"You can mock me all you want, but you better ask your son-in-law about it."
Sam turned around and made his way out of the camp.
General Spark, didn"t bother with Sam"s words and immediately tended to Jim and the rest of the Great realm cultivators tended to the injured members.
Soon, a rank 4 healer came and took a look at the condition of the people.
He was able to heal the wounds of the rest of the Novices, but when it came to Jim, he can only shake his head. He is the best healer in the military and even he cannot do anything.
The spine was cracked in a peculiar manner. One section was completely shattered as if it has turned into powder and there is a vertical crack all over the spine.
The nerves are also damaged, but the healer cannot do anything about it.
After all, not any healer can grow a bone, even if they have ability to regrow a limb, they cannot perfectly grow a spinal bone when the flesh was still intact.
In this case, the healer has to do a surgery.
Yes, a surgery. In this world a surgery is not too uncommon. After all, not everyone can use Sam"s observation ability and they cannot heal all types of wounds.
So, the surgeries are common, but they don"t take as much time as the ones in the modern earth.
When general heard the diagnosis, he was stunned. He immediately carried Jim and ran towards the Pharmaceutical tower.
The tower head here is a Rank-5 Healer and a Rank- 5 potion Master.
General Spark is hopeful that he can save them, but the results shocked him. The tower head of the Pharmaceutical tower refused to see him and said that he was busy.
When general heard this, he immediately became enraged and started releasing his aura and spiritual energy suppressing everyone.
"General Spark. This is not your military and it is not your place for you to behave as you like. You better behave."
A man who seemed to be in his fifties walked out. He has a scholarly look as he placed his hands behind his back.
"I am not treating your disciple no matter what, you can get out of this place. If you stay here one more minute, then I will remove the discounts the Pharmaceutical tower offers to southern star military."
"Why are doing this? This is the matter of the future of a youngster. I don"t even know how I offended you. But I apologize if I did anything wrong.
Please help him."
General Spark immediately calmed down and begged. He knew that Pharmaceutical tower is not a place for him to throw his weight around. The tower head himself is a Nascent and he also have two ident.i.ties as Healer and Potion Master.
He is far more esteemed than his General t.i.tle. If the discounts and contracts between the Pharmaceutical tower and the army are affected by his action, the consequences are something he himself cannot bear.
"Of course, he didn"t offend me, but you had clearly offended someone else you shouldn"t have.
General Spark, I heard you have already made a mistake in the past y offending someone you shouldn"t have, you should have learned your lesson.
You are saying that this matter is regarding the future of the youngster, so what about the future of the youngsters you have oppressed. I can only say this. But I cannot help you.
Seeing that young man suffering is making me feel bad, but I cannot do anything, you should have foreseen these consequences.
Now, please leave before I decide to take any further actions and never comeback."
General Spark gritted his teeth in frustration. He didn"t know what he has to do for his disciple to get treated.
He is the reason that Jim is in this state and now the healer is saying that he is the reason that Jim is going to be in this state. What kind of grave mistake did he do to offend someone to this point?
At this point of time, he didn"t have enough time to ponder about it, his only option is to request Duke.
So, he darted out of the tower, by this time the remaining thunder wolf squad members already came here.
When they looked at General and Jim still looking lifeless in his hands, they understood.
Jim looked even more devastating than before; his eyes are filled with despair. He looked at his fellow squad members and then his teacher.
He said in a low voice.
"Teacher, why did you do this to me?"
When those hopeless and disappointed words were heard, everyone was silent to the point it became eerie.
General Spark didn"t know what to say.
One thing was true, Sam clearly took it out on Jim because he did this. But he didn"t who is troubling him from getting the required treatment.
At this moment, a silver light flashed as Watt came on his Silver Wind. He looked at the General coldly and took out a letter from the storage before throwing away and left.
One of the squad members picked the letter and opened it to see the contents, once he looked at them he was stunned before reading them out loud.
"General Spark, even though you are at the top of the game of oppressing others with your authority, I want to know your opinion. How does it feel like being oppressed by others? Did I do it right? Oh, by the way, I am a rank 5 Artisan and I do hope you are intelligent enough to guess that significance.
-Sam."
