Chapter 232: Attack (2/2)

Sam looked around to get rid of that dizzy feeling, and he slowly stepped out along with Jack and Philip.

They came out of the small building in which the formation was and walked forward. Sam suddenly halted his steps and Philip and Jack leapt on him at the same time.

Sam took out the transference scroll in an instant and opened before injecting the spiritual energy, he doesn't know which direction he held the scroll in but he doesn't have much time.

He dragged Philip and Jack into the dimension and activated the scroll.

They disappeared in a flash and just at the spot they were present, a huge lightning bolt struck leaving a large crater.

Emperor is looking at the crater with a gloomy look on the face, he didn't expect he would miss this.

He wanted to kill Sam a long time ago and he only stopped because of Moriya's instructions. Now that the whole palace farce is over he planned to kill him.

He cannot even wait for Sam to enter the empire, but the elders repeatedly said that no candidate should be harmed on their territory.

That is why he contacted Ben's father who is also pretty upset since his son was beaten up by Sam and learnt of the distance at which the space gate wouldn't be affected when he attacked.

But why go through so much effort and has to kill him right at the space gate? Ben's father wanted to see Sam's dead body right away and he planned to kill him right there and then, but now that plan also failed.

Apart from that, if Sam entered the city and came into contact with the Artisan tower for any reason, things would again get messy due to his status.

The Artisan tower will investigate the whole thing as they would lose a young talent as Sam and even though they might not pursue revenge there would surely be repercussions and his reputation as an emperor would be damaged. After all, it was his son who brought this up on himself.

He went back to the thunder god temple through the space gate to give the news to Ben's father and he came back with a gloomy face.

But when he came back, he saw his son was still waiting there with a nervous expression.

”What happened?”

”I found this near the crater.”

He showed a letter which was extremely crumbled.

Emperor took the letter and saw a string of letters.

”You just signed your death warrant. Good luck. – Sam”

When the emperor saw this letter, his speculation was confirmed. He thought that Sam was already aware of their plan when he escaped, but he wasn't sure, but now that he saw the note, he could guarantee that his speculation was correct.

He suddenly had a bad premonition and felt that he made a huge mistake. But that feeling just passed by and his pride as an emperor didn't want him to bow down.

At the same moment, in far away woods, Sam appeared from within a bright flash and fell down on the ground. His head was completely dizzy and he cannot even see properly that is his body's reaction due to two consecutive space gate travels.

He almost wanted to puke, but at this moment, he saw a beast glaring at him from a few feet away.

It is like a huge leopard and thankfully, it is only Level 4.

Sam felt that he would be in trouble if the forest he entered will have very dangerous beasts beyond his level and now that all he saw was a Level 4 Beast, he was relieved.

He sat down on the ground and let Philip, Jack and Watt who is living in the Dimension for past month or so out and laid down on the ground to relax until the dizzy feeling goes.

At the same time, he let Yanwu and Sky out which chased the Leopard away.

He said to them.

”Go and scout a bit.”

After that he closed his eyes and took some rest.

He woke up after half an hour and by that time the three boys already created a makeshift camp while Yanwu and Sky returned.

”What's our position now, where are we?” He asked the beasts immediately.

[There are some human activities towards North western direction and the north eastern direction is a bit troublesome as I can sense some traces of powerful beasts at least at Level six.

As for the southern sides, there are only forests and they are thicker and thicker without any kinds of activities. We suspect that side is the most dangerous and it would be better to go towards the North west.] Sky replied.

Sam sat down and fell into a deep thought.

He couldn't guess where he is until he can enter a human settlement nearby and he has to make sure that his presence is going to be unnoticed all the while.

He can use shadow mice but they are mostly useful in the cities than the wilderness.

This is due to one of the main reasons why most shadow mice don't grow till the old age even with those incredible powers.

That is because until they achieve a very high-level shadow fusion, there is a high chance that the beasts stronger than them can notice their presence purely based on instincts and if shadow mice became afraid due to their animal instincts, they will give their hiding position away.

So, in the wilderness, Shadow mice are not ready to roam freely, at least not too deep.

As for in the city they are the boss.

So, they have to either travel by air or by foot and to be able to look at the tracks more clearly, they decided to go on foot until they find the first human settlement.
