Chapter 308: Meeting Nicholas Again (1/2)

Sam doesn't know that someone has labeled him a Bastard far away. One must wonder how he reacts if he knows that.

Right now, he is on a deserted island that doesn't have any living beings. Even the trees are dead. Except for some weird type of grass and some thorns, there is nothing there.

He had dug out a big pit and there is a large energy cell of Dark element inside it.

He is going to create an illusion that the shadow sword is destroyed. He has to agree that he was being overconfident when he just kept the shadow sword with him given that all the major powers will come after him.

If it was Past Sam with no companions his attitude should have been alright. Now that he has friends, he believed that he should think before he made decisions.

Now, he is waiting for the expert the temple-head is going to send here to be the decoy and to his surprise, the person is Moriya.

”Nice to meet you again. I heard that you joined the Thunder-God temple.”

”Yes. I needed a place to start since I decided to expand my horizons and thunder god temple is the nearest choice.”

Sam is extremely blunt with his words. Moriya didn't seem to mind and said.

”Everyone has their own reasons, no matter how trivial or important that reason might be, you still joined us. Anyway, I heard that you need me for some act. What should I do?”

”Just stay within the vicinities with full-on defense. Don't let your guard down. Not even for a second.”

Moriya nodded and stood at the seashore, while Sam is at the center of the island.

After a few minutes, Moriya felt a huge wave of energy fluctuations and the dark element energy was in extreme turmoil in the place.

He saw that the spiritual energy all over the island getting into turmoil and the waves hit him really hard.

If he is not guarding himself, he would really be injured.

After the explosion, the spiritual energy on the whole island is a mess.

He ran to the center to check on Sam. He has no confidence that he would survive if he was the one in the center of the explosion.

The Dark element energy is wreaking Havoc everywhere and he saw Sam standing in the center of the crater without any damage. The only stable spiritual energy zone on the island is around Sam.

He walked out slowly and said.

”We are done here. All you have to do is say to the world that you are injured and are in the process of healing. It would be better if even your disciples don't know.”

Moriya subconsciously nodded. Sam boarded the harbinger and was about to fly away, but he remembered something and said to Moriya.

”The soul chasing butterfly that is following me for two days has died and you might want to tell that guy whoever it is that controlling the queen butterfly to send the new one.”

With those words, he left the place.

Moriya came to his senses when he heard Sam's words. Soul chasing butterfly is one of the biggest secrets of the Thunder-god temple. Only a select few have access to the information about it.

Even among the elders, Moriya is the only one who knew about it.

He doesn't know how Sam knew about it, but those words are not just a reminder. He once again looked at the destroyed island and went back to the temple to report to the temple-head.

Sam created the blast for two reasons and one of them is obviously to tell the world that the shadow sword is destroyed and another reason is to give the temple-head of the thunder god temple a message.

Two days ago, when he had the meeting with him, Sam noticed that the temple head is a bit weird. He smiled and his words seemed genuine, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that is warning him against trusting that guy.

Even if it wasn't for that feeling, he still has to give them a warning. Human greed is hard to predict and control. Although Sam gave them enough meteorite sand and they could create spirit weapons given enough time, there is no telling, what the temple head will think.

The world might be fooled that the shadow sword is destroyed, but the temple head knew it wasn't and he might covet it.

So, Sam created this blast and revealed the existence of the soul chasing butterfly to tell them that he is resourceful enough to know about their spying system and also has enough means to deal some damage to them.

He has to go through this all because he doesn't have enough strength.

Sam went back to the quarters that are given to him. Jack and Philip are also given one near them,
