Chapter 155: Branded (2/2)

The Gorilla started roaring as the whole company moved forward. At the same time, the Hawk floated over with its wings spread.

Sam looked at the two spirits and took out the Reaper sword. He wants to try a new technique he thought of recently at the same time testing the Battle spirit's ability.

When the deputy general and the regiment commander took a look at the blood iron sword, they remembered something.

The news about the candidate slaughtering a noble family of three hundred members and making swords out of their blood.

They thought that the news is some exaggerated rumour. But when they saw the blood iron sword and blood aura it is emanating, they were stunned and immediately understood who that candidate was.

So, it is not a rumour. Sam is the one who did that. No wonder.

These are the thoughts in their mind. If Regiment commander knew that Sam is that person and the news was real, he wouldn't have provoked him and wouldn't have proposed this battle.

But it is too late to regret now.

Sam flew higher and higher towards the sky and after reaching more than forty feet, he dropped himself with head down off the harbinger before storing it away.

He held the reaper sword with both hands as he dived towards the Hawk spirit approaching him.

The kinetic energy increased as he moved downwards but the sword in his hands didn't even vibrate once from the winds. Rather, he is collecting the wind elemental energy from the surrounding wind currents as he condensed it into the sword blade.

As the force of his falling increase, right before he reached the Hawk spirit, he sliced the sword in the air.

A huge wind blade was slashed downwards as it tore through the Hawk spirit as well as the Gorilla spirit below it.

The wind blade swept the ground like a typhoon as the soldiers who are in the two formations puked blood and some even fainted directly.

Sam didn't crash on the ground. He took out Harbinger before he could crash and moved swiftly as he hovered away from the crash.

After the dust cleared out, all of them could see a huge vertical crater formed by the wind blade or rather the wind blade created by the sword slash.

The soldiers were scattered.

But Sam isn't completely fine. He was a bit exhausted. He took out some spirit stones as he absorbed the energy as fast as possible.

His absorption rate is quite high, so his complexion returned back a little.

Sam looked around and then found a solid stage which is used for individual duels.

He walked towards the stage and stood in the middle of it.

He took out a fire energy cell. This one is a big one made of several fire elemental spirit stones, completely unlike the ones he is putting on for sale.

Sam closed his eyes, and the fire elemental energy flew out of the cell and started burning the stage.

The spectators only watched the scene as Sam stood in the middle of the golden flames.

The flames burned fiercely and soon they could see that stage is melting in some spots.

After a few minutes the flames were stopped and the spectators can see that the stage is molten in a weird shape.

It is actually, Sam's double S signature.

Sam walked towards the Regiment commander and the Deputy General.

”From today onwards, this is a brand I am marking on your territory. If you remove it before defeating it, I will come every day for a fight.

This is a symbol which shows you are marked as trash by me.”

He then looked at the fallen soldiers. He didn't go completely all out and didn't have intent to kill throughout the battle.

Many soldiers are critically injured but most of them still survived. Though, it would be hard to say when they would recover.

Even the energy cells he exploded are of lowest quality which would create least damage.

”Next time, think before you blindly wag your tail like a dog and do someone else's bidding. If the same thing repeats again, the outcome wouldn't be the same.”

The regiment commander didn't say anything and only held his head down in shame. What Sam said is right after all. He shouldn't have helped general to satisfy his personal grudges and target a Novice by abusing his profession.

Sam started walking away and he suddenly remembered something and rushed back. He extended his hand and said.

”Pay up.”
