Chapter 229: Statue (1/2)

As Sam saw the whole process happening, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and he immediately diverted his attention towards the statue's face.

In place of the stone eyes which are previously there are replaced by a pair of electric blue eyes with dark blue pupils.

Those eyes are looking straight at him. He felt a huge pressure on him as the eyes bore down on him as if they want to see through his soul.

For the first time, Sam felt a sense of inferiority in a long time.

He didn't expect that he would feel that after so many years. He felt the same sense of inferiority when he was a kid in his previous life. Half of his life has gone by just to overcome that, and now in this new life, he is feeling the same thing again.

His mind suddenly felt clouded. The darkest parts of his past started resurfacing again.

Suddenly, Sam clenched his fists hard and gritted his teeth. He straightened his buckled knees and rose his head in defiance.

He looked straight at those large blue eyes.

He doesn't want to go through the same feeling again and he wouldn't let a being no matter how superior make him go through that again.

When the eyes looked at Sam's actions, the pressure increased and Sam felt as if he was carrying the whole mountain.

But Sam didn't budge, he doesn't want to kneel or fall for this being. The eyes that are filled with contempt are only making him more and more determined.

Sam continued for another five minutes and by this time there are already cracks on the floor, but he didn't let his knees buckle and suddenly there are cracking sounds that are coming from his bones.

Sam clenched his jaw to bear the pain and then suddenly the pressure was off.

Sam sweated bullets, he started panting.

His eyes became cold and gloomy. A voice was heard in his head.

”No wonder you are the wimp that Gambler go himself, you are just like him a stubborn pest that refuses to budge.”

When Sam heard this even though he was shocked by the sudden statement and the details that are mentioned in that statement, the anger is still clouding his mind and he let the statement slide for a second.

He looked at the statue with that icy cold gaze and when he saw the contempt deep in those eyes, he couldn't hold back anymore.

He took out the Executioner sword.

The Katana is releasing an extremely fierce aura and this is the result of absorption of the Hydra's blood. The sword has completely absorbed the blood essence and is now on the verge of being becoming a fifth rank weapon.

He took out a huge energy cell which is in size of a foot ball and dropped it on the floor.

Sam placed his left leg on the energy cell which is filled with the wind elemental energy and started directing all of it to the sword.

He looked at the blue eyes which suddenly seemed to become curious.

With in two minutes, the energy cell was devoid of energy and executioner sword was full of fierce and sharp energy.

Sam crushed the empty cell under his foot and leapt in to the air leaving a floor of cracked tiles.

The blue eyes showed a different expression than the contempt and curiosity for the first time.

This time, they showed surprise.

Sam leapt towards those big eyes and with a slash, the executioner sword met with the statue right at the forehead.

With a huge vertical slash, the statue was split into two vertically.

The light in the eyes faded and the they turned back to normal stone eyes.

Sam landed on the rubble that fell on the ground.

By this time, all the candidates woke up from their meditative state and already moved backward.

They are looking at Sam with confusion and a little dread at the same time, they all felt that fearsome aura from before.

When they observed they could see that there was blood dripping from Sam's right hand. His hand wasn't even able to take that hit.

Some of them are clearly annoyed by the sudden interruption, but they don't dare to confront Sam about it when they felt that fearsome aura and the killing intent Sam was emitting.

Sam looked at the statue and said.

”I don't know who you are and if you are a god or a demon, I don't know who that gambler is and I don't even know how powerful you all are and most importantly I don't even know if you can hear me.

If you are, then remember my words, if there is a way for me to find you and reach you, you better kill me before that day comes, or else you would wish you never even saw me on this day.”

With those words, Sam stepped back and found a clean spot before sitting there.

He took off the coat which revealed a disfigured arm with all the bones broken and protruding outside of the skin.
