Chapter 124: Symbol 2 (1/2)

When the sword was about land on him, Sam raised his left hand and caught the blade between his thumb and index finger.

The claws and the sword blade gave a clanking sound of metal, but the clash of the spiritual energy buried the small clanking.

Both of the fighters didn't step back at all. Sam swung his right arm, but the other party blocked it with his sword, but the wind tailing the claw, was so sharp and just like before, it made its way to other party's chest.

This time, the damage isn't much but it is still there.

Soon, both of them exchanged blows, every time, both of them blocked each other's attacks, but the middle-aged man was taking damage.

The damage is slowly accumulating. He started losing blood.

The middle-aged man suddenly stopped and took the blood with his fingers.

”You are better than I thought.” Middle-aged man looked at Sam and started drawing something on the sword which seemed like some runic inscriptions.

Then his life force started seeping out of his body and accumulated into the sword.

”Master gave me the mission to stop anyone from disturbing him, But from the looks of it I will die if the fight goes one for long run and it seemed that you are also looking for that, i don't believe you have what it takes to make a powerful move in an instant.

So, if you take this last move of mine, I will immediately….”

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

Before he could finish something whistled over the wind and three deep gashes were made on the middle-aged man's throat.

Sam waved his hand and caught three cards in his hands. These are made of normal metals, similar to Watt's but the only difference is Sam's signature symbol was imprinted on it.

Sam wiped the blood on the cards to his pants and stored them away as he looked at the fallen body of the middle-aged man and said.

”You talk too much in a fight.”

After that, Sam slowly stepped inside the house.

In the hall, the count is in sitting inside a inscription circle made out of blood and Jasmine was put to sleep and laid on the other end of the circle.

The count is making some chants and occasionally a small part of the circle was being lit up. The Count seemed to not notice the new presence and seemed to be too involved in the ritual.

Sam didn't care and was moved towards Jasmine. The other party is actually stronger than him and is out of his reach. If he battled him without holding back, he might have a chance, but Jasmine will surely be involved in collateral damage.

When he was about to step into the circle, he was stopped by some kind of restriction which seemed to be caused by the inscriptions.

He didn't have any patience to understand and break the inscription. He placed his hand on the floor and closed his eyes. The floor suddenly turned into powder in the place near his hand.

The inscription was forcefully broken and the Count was sent flying as he spurted some blood.

Sam also took a few steps back to the backlash, but most of the backlash was taken by the Count.

He slowly stood up and walked towards Jasmine. Seeing that she is still in unconscious state, he checked whether there is any other problem and after confirming that there are none, he immediately sent her into the divine dimension.

He then looked at the Count, who also stood up.

”How dare you come here? Do you have no plans of living? You should have obediently fled when you got the news that girl is abducted.”

The Count who seemed to taken some serious hit, took wiped the blood on his mouth.

Sam didn't say anything, instead he took out some normal swords and started stabbing them around him. Before the count could make sense of the things, more than three formation activated around Sam.

He took out some diluted indigo water, and started heating it up. The indigo coloured vapour started forming as he forced the gas to stay in the wind sphere.

Count sensed something is wrong and immediately moved. He also seemed to be a warrior and he took out a sword and attacked the Sam, but the formation stopped the attack.

Sam just stared nonchalantly and drew more and more indigo vapour into the sphere and started compressing it. As he did so, the compressed gas was now in size of an egg.

Count continuously attacked and after five blows, Sam the formation broke. But the very moment, Sam immediately threw the compressed gas into the Count's mouth and immediately jumped back creating a distance.

The other party immediately tried to move, but he felt something was wrong with his body, when he looked inside with his spiritual sense, he could see his lungs and heart are being spread out with an indigo hue.

His blood was suddenly filled with strange toxins and his organs are being corroded. He knelt down as his legs grew weak.

Never did he expect that he would fall for such a trick.

Sam slowly walked towards him as he saw that his ploy worked. In fact, he doesn't have much energy left. If he fought directly, he will have very low chance of winning.

That is the reason, he played such a trick. The indigo vapor might have seemed like a special attack, but it is a poison, so if the Count has stayed far away and cautious, he might have been able to avoid inhaling it.

But the over confident Count who saw Sam's exhausted condition, thought that this is an easy win.

Sam picked the count up and dragged him outside of the mansion.

The teammates were stunned, by this time some nobles and other officials also made their way here, all the city guards who are below Novice are also here. When they saw Sam's state they had goosebumps.

Even with all the wounds and blood, he walked with his back straight without a hint of pain in his eyes.

Sam looked around and found his golden staff. He erected the staff in the ground and tied up the Count to it.

He walked towards all the Corpses and started piling them in front of Count.
