Chapter 612: Canine Squad (2/2)

”How is it going to be that easy? We heard you are a badass. Four hundred members from the sect. You did some serious damage.

What do you think will happen, if they are dealt with you so easily? and there would be no reason for us to wait here.

We are here to lend them a hand.”

They immediately surrounded. Sam could escape easily with the Harbinger. But he didn't do that.

He already planned to bag all the beasts for himself and he is going to do it. With a wave of his hand, the Owls he captured came out along with Sky.

They might not be under his direct control, but Sky can control them. At least, the forty of them came out without any problem.

At the same time, Raiju came out and Sam released his beast aura and the killing intent on a full scale.

The canines that are walking towards him all stopped in their tracks.

The enemies all looked tense for a second. They couldn't guess why they stopped and they tried to urge them on.

But they didn't do. All they did is look at Sam, Raiju, and the owls while growling. There are hesitation and fear in their eyes. But they don't want to take a step forward either. The only thing that is keeping them in the place because they are loyal to their companions.

Sam looked at the group and said.

”I love Canines, they are great companions and honorable beasts. But do you want me to tell you something else you might not know about them?

They are so loyal that they would do anything to save their companions and that is even if they have to face a bigger and more dangerous threat they can handle and even if they have to drag you away to run away from the threat, that they are sure will bring you the death.”

As soon as he said those words, Raiju howled and lightning crackled all over. All the canine beasts immediately ran to their masters and tried to bite into their clothes and drag them away.

When the cultivators saw this, they became furious and tried to force the beasts with their mental contracts. Some of them surrendered and wanted to go against Sam and turned around and some of them didn't but suffered the backlash of the contract.

Sam looked at the beasts that have watery eyes as he took the reaper sword. He couldn't help but lament a bit. After all, for these beasts that grew up with these people from infancy, their masters are everything, but for them, they are just meat shields, a prized possession.

He looked at the beasts and said.

”Is this all your loyalty worth?”

With a single command, the owls went on to attack. They didn't go after the beasts and went against the cultivators directly. Even then, the beasts didn't let them, they tried their best to defend, but Sam and Raiju are not there for nothing.

They pinned the beasts as much as they can without attacking them and finished off the people directly.

The battle didn't take long, because the odds are clearly against the squad. After finishing his off, all the beasts are weakened due to the contract backlash. But they are standing and growling at Sam.

Sam shook his head and thought. I never thought I had to explain myself to beasts.

”I get it you are angry. But the first thing they did when they fell into danger is to use you as their meat shield. I don't say I am a saint, but that loyalty felt unrewarded even for a cold-blooded guy like me.

I won't force you guys to come and join me, but don't come at me just to lose your lives, it is not worth it. Before you decide, let me heal you first.”

By this time, Chatur also came here to see the situation and Sam gave him potions and even some diluted heavenly wine.

Even though it is not a great thing for the beasts to drink alcohol, this is the only thing he has on his hands that could heal the body and soul at the same time.

After treating them all, some of the beasts left but most of them chose to stay. Sam let them all in the Divine dimension to join the community there and went forward.

He didn't go on to the hill but repeated the same thing he did here around the hill and cleaned all the people guarding the entrance for the top fifteen who prepared the playground for Sam to come and Play.

Now that he is done with them, he started moving on to the hill and at the same time thinking of who to capture to get some answers. Because from what he saw, this is clearly a setup for Sam and he would like to get to the bottom of this.
