Chapter 662: Experiments (1/2)

Sam tried all kinds of experiments with that stone. But no matter what he didn't touch it at all.

After some experiments, he realized that this flame has a decaying effect. But it is not like the one his decaying green flame he had. It is more like it is accelerating the lifetime of the object to make it decay.

After trying its effect on many objects, he started emitting light elemental energy and used the healing techniques against it.

All of a sudden, the grey stone which was surrounded by the eerie smoke completely disappeared as if it was never there.

It turned into an ordinary stone. Sam was surprised a bit and once again threw some grass. Nothing happened.

He was extremely surprised.

He has a feeling on why they didn't attack at night now.

He came out of the divine dimension and went to the backyard of the house. He waved his hand and the grey stone flew out and fell in the grass. But it is just like any other ordinary stone. There is nothing wrong with it.

Sam once again threw it inside the divine dimension and placed it in the corner. The grey stone once again started showing the grey smoke.

Sam activated partial fusion and tried to experiment a bit. His hand turned into a golden mass of light particles as he held the stone. But his other hand was ready to chop this hand off if it was really infected with the grey flame.

But his worries are unfounded. His hand was able to hold the stone, and it didn't turn into normal stone completely when he held the fingertips. It is not completely invulnerable against the vitality.

While Sam is being fascinated by this weird stone, someone else is also talking about it.

The three non-humans that are activating these weird stones gathered sometime later after the sunrise within a forest.

”Why is the sun so bright in this stupid place?”

One of them who is the only woman of the three-spoke in a grumbling tone.

”We are here for something important. Stop your nonsense.”

The man whom Sam clashed with spoke harshly and continued.

”One of the Undying volcanic stones disappeared?”

”What do you mean disappeared?” The remaining two spoke in unison and they had horrified expressions on their faces.

”A guy who is flying around on a board took it. It is clearly not on his body and his spatial ring should have already exploded if it was in and he also didn't catch the grey flame on. I don't know where it went, but it disappeared.”

”Are you kidding me? Even though it is of a low-grade stone, it is extremely valuable. Those people are celebrating because they thought they destroyed the catapults, but only we know what the true threat is. We could just place the stone in another catapult or similar machine. But without those stones, there is nothing much we can do.”

The woman said with a bit of anxiety.

”I don't know how he kept it, but it should definitely be with him. But he is strong. His body alone is strong enough to trade blows directly with a Minotaur of the same level and he might even be the winner of that exchange.

His muscles and blood are full of vitality to the point he is like a delicious meal waiting for me to take.

But you know our first lesson. The more delicious the meal and the more it felt like it is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, the more we have to be wary of it. That is why I didn't make a move. But the minotaurs are too dumb to stop him. He came out and went in as if he owned the place.”

”So, what should we do? If he can escape that easily, it would be extremely easy for him to escape even after we take down the town.”

”That is why we have to catch him off guard.”

”Off guard? You better be not talking about attacking. You do know what will happen right. Even the catapults and the few half-servants we brought are simply merged with the troops is use treading on a thin line.

If we attack him in the town, there is a high chance that our identities would be released and the dwarves will just send a Consummate realm cultivator and worse an even higher stage cultivator to kill us all. They can even use this chance to massacre all our members left in the southwest.

The foundations we have built all these years would be gone.”
