After listening to Chatur about the elite ten, Sam started thinking about what the current situation might lead to.
Using the undead, Sam really did leave quite some wounds on the Union sect. But the Elite ten still hasn"t come back. But he is sure that they would come as the war will continue. Currently, the Union sect only abandoned some secondary bases and castles. As for resource points, they tightened the forces.
All they left are the resource points they occupied from the Nagin castle.
So, it can be said that the war is not over yet.
When Chatur saw Sam thinking, he hesitated before saying.
"Actually, there is one thing I wanted to tell you for some time, but I couldn"t find the time as we are busy."
"What is it?"
"The reason the rest of the top-dogs of the Nagin castle are not bothering with you is that they are sure the Elite ten will kill you. That is why they let you do whatever you want with the lake and Volcanic cannon. Otherwise, they would certainly bring their families in to make trouble for you."
"Really?"
"Yes, when Yodha first entered this place, he didn"t reveal his ident.i.ty and came in with his human form. He is just like you, but your methods are different. He alone occupied a weekly resource point and he wanted to take the resources.
But the rest of the commanders and others wouldn"t let him. They created all kinds of troubles. But Yodha became furious and beat the c.r.a.p out of them without pulling their punches.
The next thing we knew, there is a large-scale search on his ident.i.ty and there are many threats. If not for the fact, that Yodha revealed his Naga form in one of the battles, they would have still tried to pester him and threaten him. After he revealed it though, they almost p.i.s.sed their pants.
There is also another situation, where an orphan entered this place and run rampant because of his fighting abilities, but at that time, some of the people created a conflict between him and Union sect, causing one of the Elite ten to hunt him down and kill him.
These incidents are all too common and not just in the Nagin castle. Every other place, including the Fysi and the Merman castles, are the same.
No place has a single person who holds all authorities and they all use Union sect as a borrowed knife to get rid of their rivals."
"Why didn"t you mention this to me earlier?"
"I thought that since Elite ten is not here, it is not that relevant but you did so much damage to them. From what I know of them, the retreat is related to the elite ten. They would be already on their way back to the dimension.
That is why I wanted to give you a reminder before they attack you."
"Thanks for the reminder. But I am mostly worried about them not coming at me. If they don"t, how can I get my hands on Night Charm?"
As he said this, Sam suddenly looked into the horizons. Currently, Sam and Chatur are flying on Sky"s back.
They reached high enough to look at the clouds and they even pa.s.sed through some. They flew this high to avoid others. But he could feel someone is coming, even Sky became alert and suddenly came to a halt as he flapped his wings.
"Hold on tight."
Sam warned Chatur who sprawled on Sky"s back and held tightly before Sky zoomed into the clouds and swung his talons at the something that seemed to be coming their way.
Two beasts locked in as they threw their talons at each other.
Sam looked at the beast and was surprised. The Fiend Vulture. This is a beast that is beyond the natural laws of the beasts. They are cruel, cunning, and crafty. They don"t care about the superiority of bloodline and cultivation levels. If they can hit, they will, if they can"t they will run.
Holding the neck of the vulture there is a guy sitting on its back as he looked at Sam with a devilish grin.
The two birds are moving up and down as they tried to bit each other and tear each other apart with the talons.
But Sam is not worried. He just looked at the young man who is also a human sitting on the vulture"s back.
Sky is not an ordinary Great Roc. If it was, then he would have already lost. But he is the Sky sovereign Roc. The name is not just for show. Within the Sam level, when it comes to Aerial battle, Sky is the best of the best. Even Yanwu couldn"t deal with him, Unless Yanwu went all out and made some serious large-scale attacks, they would only be tied.
But for this fiend Vulture to beat Sky, it can dream on.
And soon, the Young man on the Vulture"s back also seemed to have noticed something. As both the beasts are descending, Sky suddenly stopped and hovered as a blade of wind stuck the vulture on the stomach creating a deep gash.
*SCREECH*
The vulture screamed as it took some time to control and come up. The young man took out a saber as he swung it towards Sam.
Sam took out his reaper and blocked the attack. Chatur who is on Sky"s back was terrified and almost peed his pants. He couldn"t help gulp and close his eyes shut. He didn"t even dare to look at the two people and beasts fighting.
Soon, the young man noticed that there is not much advantage he could gain no matter what he tried. Sam is mostly on the defensive, but there is not a single attack that could pierce his defense. Sky is so nimble that the vulture could barely ruffle his feathers.
But the Vulture itself has some significant wounds making it bleed.
All of a sudden, the young man, who was attacking Sam all this while, diverted his attack and aimed at Sky"s neck. The intensity of the attack also increased as the blade of the saber for fully covered with wind energy.
He would do considerable damage.
As the young man was about to succeed he has a grin. But Sam only coldly snorted and said.
"Don"t hold back."
Sky who is playing tango with the Vulture suddenly glowed with wind element energy and wind blades started appearing all around him.
Even the flap of his wings that should only have a purpose of flying is releasing wind blade.
*SCREEECCCCHHHHHH*
The Vulture was cut in several places. Its screeches shook the clouds and the young man lost his balance and suffered the backlash of the saber attack cutting his hand open and bleeding all over.
He looked at Sam with resentment and there are several thoughts in his mind. But he made the Vulture descend. He is descending faster and he doesn"t seem to be trying to escape through the flight. He must be thinking to escape through the stream that was nearby.
But Sam has no intention of letting him go.
Sky closed his wings and dove down. Chatur is screaming as they fell freely down and decreased their alt.i.tude.
But the Vulture seemed to have a special trick for falling. It is too fast when descending like this.
Sam tapped Sky on the head and jumped off of him. His body started changing and he finished partial wind elemental fusion as he increased his speed and held the reaper in his hand.
He closed the distance faster and as he fell downwards, the wind energy on the reaper blade increased like crazy. The energy is so dense and sharp that the young man who is escaping could feel the chill behind his back.
He instantly took out something and Sam frowned. He recognized this thing. This is the thing the so-called bosses used to escape.
His body changed and a golden glow surrounded him as he finished the Partial light element fusion. The speed increased and he shot like a light beam. Right before the young man could crush the token, she swung the blade.
The Wind blade combined with the sword aura created a dense and sharp wind curtain as it sliced through the back and cut the arm off from the shoulder blade and it even cut the wind of the Vulture.
They saved their lives by hair"s breadth before they crushed the token and escaped.
The wind curtain didn"t stop there. It flashed past and created a large and deep crater on the ground.
Before Sam could fall down and crash. He deactivated the fusion and the harbinger appeared under his feet as he negated the fall extremely closely.
Sam looked in the direction the shadow moved. He didn"t like this feeling at all.
If not for the fact, this is an aerial battle and that guy is quite skilled he would have been killed. Even though he is elite, at most he can be considered above average in Sam"s books. Any player can take him on.
But what Sam doesn"t know is that guy who escaped is also thinking the same thing. He is also thinking that he could have won if they met in a low-alt.i.tude battle or even the ground battle. He felt like he lost because of the difference in the capability of the beasts.
