Chapter 634: Small changes in Personality (1/2)
Sam looked around and since he already knew that the fighting would be hard, he immediately used another method. He gave a taunting smirk and ignored the both of them as he ran towards Arkiv.
Clearly, he is quite faster than the two of them and even if they are fast, it is not easy to catch up.
Before leaving Sam screamed to Praneeth.
”Keep both of them safe, I will meet you at Vronti castle after I am done with this.”
With those words, he ran faster, and while he did that, he continuously throws lightning strikes to the rear and the front,
Arkiv is also moving so that he could keep his distance from Sam. He is the only one who has escaped Sam's guns and he knew that if he is within the range of the guns, he might as well commit suicide.
So, he maintained the same distance. The distance he remembers when they had the guns vs bows fight in the second Palace of inheritance.
To his relief, Sam didn't take out the guns and after some consideration, he gave that credit to his two companions.
As they ran and ran, Sam chased and lured them into an unknown place and the terrain is slowly starting to change. There are many metallic trees in the area and they seemed to have entered a part of the woods.
Arkiv felt like he could take a breather as he could use archery better in the woods. But, when they are in the middle of the forest, Sam suddenly climbed a tree and used all his power to strike into the clouds.
All of a sudden, the clouds roared as if they are provoked and started crackling. Sam jumped off of the tree and called for Raiju.
He even let Raiju activate elemental fusion and made him attack the clouds once again before dashing away.
He didn't go the way he came nor did he go in the direction he was chasing. He moved in a lateral direction and simply escaped.
When the three players wanted to catch him, they suddenly noticed that the clouds started creating a miniature thunderstorm. Except for the water, there are only lightning sparks and lightning strikes. Except for Dyaus, the remaining two will take some damage, if they stayed, and even if they don't get injured severely, they would definitely become slower.
And Sam is confident that he could get away before they catch up with this headstart.
As for how he knew about that place, it is a training ground of Praneeth's family. As long as they hit the clouds with lightning strikes, they will strike back in a barrage.
Sam is on his way to the Portal. He clearly thought of this. Since the fights are getting boring, Sam decided to use escape tactics. He will make them frustrated like the pigs ready for slaughter. He could finally have a good enough fight at the end of this competition.
As for why Sam is searching for so much fun lately, he doesn't know it. He is also exploring his own mind and evaluating himself as he thought why he would need that much fun all of a sudden.
He stayed on this planet more than necessary. Him, disguising and entering the battle like normal troops. Even attacking Wind fiend with such disadvantage. All of a sudden Sam felt quite boring and felt like his life has been too saturated.
He has to think of the problem and solution as soon as possible.
It is almost like he lost interest and mojo completely. Even this black horse game is just a little fun game for him as he had a lead because of the coincidence from the emperor and got two herbs before these even came to the dimension.
Of course, they don't have enough connections like Sam to enquire about the way to access other planets which played a big role, but it is still okay.
After exploring these planets, Sam is feeling something else in his heart, he is finding a long-lost excitement and some sort of fun.
Every place he went, all he could think of was how he can develop in that place from the scratch. Even though he got sick of the Vronti before he visited the city after he did that he has half a mind to build a city like that and another half is screaming to smelt the whole soil down and separate the metals.
There is an inkling inside his heart that is saying what the problem is but he wasn't able to catch it.
After returning to the Vronti castle, he met with Chatur and Arman, before bidding goodbye to Praneeth, but not before reminding him to gather all his required resources.
When the trio returned to the lake, the fire elemental stones disappeared. Because pearl day was already over within their field trip. But they didn't panic.
