Chapter 637: Another Emergency (1/2)
Battle with Agun is only the start.
Sam started the most time consuming hunt ever and in the middle of it all, he has to deal with the ambushes and the attacks lead by the remaining Elite ten of the Union sect.
For obvious reasons, he became their major target. It almost seemed like they changed their goal from the taking over Nagin to just killing Sam. At least, he became their priority over Nagin castle.
But Sam didn't have time to care for their reasons, he used all the moves in his arsenal to deal with them. Wherever he went, there are numerous people turning into corpses. For some reason, the Union sect's soldiers increased. They seemed to have a large scale recruitment. No one knows where they came from and how did they manage that.
Even the emperors couldn't find a reason, but there are addition three thousand troops in the Union sect and they comprised of many races.
Along with that there are flocks of beasts accompanying them.
Since, they are tasting backlash in this war from the start, they decided to step up their game, they are trying to drown the Nagin castle's troops with numbers.
But the main brunt is being taken by Sam and the rest of the players.
A month passed and it is approximately three months since the Black Horse game began.
With the war going on and his hunt, Sam is a bit mentally strained. He killed too many people and with the fluctuations in his character and slight dissatisfaction he is facing and the actions he is taking to cover them, all of them intensified.
He doesn't know what kind of changes his mind is going through. From the past year he was here, everything was normal for him. At first, he was a bit excited about developing in Naga Loka. But later it felt boring. He was caught up in this Palace of inheritance and the Black horse game.
The large amounts of killing he has done, he has no challenge in this place at all. But he tried to increase his own interest, but he could see he is losing it. As the Black horse is being close to completion as he collected the herbs, he knew he has to go back, he missed his friends by his side, he missed an environment where he could talk to his beast companions.
But the thought of going back to that comfortable like in the home planet, where he has too much of an influence and too much of the power is also eating him away.
When he thought of going back, nothing came to his mind, except for his friends and beasts, not the city he developed, the riches he owned.
His mind is divided into two and the first half doesn't want to stay here and wants to finish this game and go back as soon as possible, the second half doesn't want to go back to the life where he almost doesn't have to do anything.
He doesn't know what he is missing to have these contradicting thoughts. The only thing he knew is that he is missing something and that is connected to him making a promise to himself for his own sake and Stella's sake and that is to live his life to the fullest.
When he was developing in that home planet, with no support and total suppression on every step, he felt alive, he reached the top brass without even having that much individual strength. Now, it is not interesting him.
Every day, when he is taking rest, he was thinking all of this, while hunting these players. This month, he battled three more Players and killed a lot of soldiers from the Union sect, he didn't get the herb nor did he get the answer he was searching for. It felt boring.
With these conflicting thoughts, Sam spent another month and battled three more players, he still didn't get what he wanted. There are only two more players left and both of them are familiar to him. One of them is Arkiv and the other is Akhil and all the investigation he had done is showing him that they are both at the same place.
Then only Sam realized that he fell into another trap, they didn't completely hide themselves from him, they actually appeared in front of him in a timely manner and led him by the nose in a way so that Sam would just go after them in that particular order and waste time.
They just wanted to drag it as much as they wanted. But Sam was faster than they expected and there is still two months, but he already came to the last two.
But they didn't change plans. After all, they didn't want to piss off Sam too much. In their minds, he is a maniac who can achieve his revenge by hook or crook and he is most resourceful guy of all of them, which made them extremely careful not to piss him off too much.
After all, from the looks of it, they still have ten Palaces they should attend together and they would also interact more in the future. Even if they don't want to admit it, Sam is currently best of them all and they are all in the same boat with him and if that boat has any holes, he has the highest chance to survive.
They didn't want to antagonize him completely.
