Chapter 707: Demon (1/2)

Sam and his team left the Undead realm and came back to his city.

They went on to different duties and perform a general inspection after they came back.

It has been a great training trip for everyone and all of them had certain gains.

Sam went to the department of healers and gave his blood sample and the body tissue to conduct other experiments.

While he gave the resources he obtained from that realm to the material section. They decided to stay for another three months and go on their next journey.

After he completed these actions, he went to meet with the Old Beast. No matter how safe this body seemed to be, he couldn't get comfortable with these changes, he needs the opinion and judgment of someone experienced.

So, he went to the tempest valley as soon as he got free time.

As soon as the Old beast looked at him, he couldn't help but say.

”What the hell happened to you? The human part of your body is almost gone. Why did you become like this?”

”What can I do? I was too weak and I am making enemies out of too many strong people. This time I even managed to piss off three races altogether and a whole realm.”

Sam said as he sat down on the ground and recounted the whole story.

”I faintly remember something about that Vampire King. I didn't expect that he would be able to survive until now. You did a great job and also getting rid of that guardian is a good decision. I don't know who he is, but I do know one thing.

Nothing that comes to the desolate realm comes by chance and nothing that was imprisoned here is for some ordinary reason.

The hydra, me, and that guardian, everyone is here because of someone more powerful making them stay here.

As for your body, it is okay for now. From what I can see it is not unstable. There might be some changes in your instincts and urges and you might like the raw food more than cooked food and there would be some cravings for the blood of the creatures. With your ability, you can suppress them easily. The beast bloodline in your body is not there for show.

In front of those creatures a human bloodline and Vampire bloodline are not that different, so don't worry and just enjoy the perks that came with it.”

”Thank you,” Sam said as he heaved a sigh.

”What is up with your friends' training?”

”It is good. Jack got the most gains out of all. He got a legacy of a swordsman. His technique and comprehension have improved.”

”Do you want me to give you a suggestion?”

”Yes.”

”You are being too possessive of your friends, no matter how much you are increasing their difficulty, they are already getting used to being under your shadow. This might have some benefits as chasing after you and keeping up will give them a target and goal to increase their strength.

But they will soon forget to depend on themselves when there is a bigger problem and turn to you for every difficulty.

This would limit their potential. After all, the true potential of a person lies only within the boundaries of their mind, so if you don't let their mind grow past you they wouldn't grow.”

Sam thought for a moment and felt that there is merit to what Old Beast said. This is the first time he had this many friends.

All he knew about friendship is helping out each other and staying loyal. Except for that he doesn't know to truly take care of someone and how to help them grow.

Even though their current age is similar, Sam's mental age is far more than them and he is supposed to be mature than them, but except for war, business, and stuff he is dumber than Watt when it comes to relationships and if he trained them like normal soldiers, he might be able to get in some work but they would lose their personality around him.

His commander or trainer side will outdo every other side he had. That is why he let them train in their own way.

”What should I do?”

”Just let them go. Your step to take them to different places and train them there is good, but this time take them to different places and let them train there alone, let them travel alone, let them make their own enemies and let them fight, escape, hide, fight back, let them do everything together.”

”But that would increase the risk.”

”Yes, it would also increase their growth. The way you are going now, they will first grow too reliant on you and soon will become a burden, even if you don't mind that there comes a day where they realize that and they wouldn't be able to forgive themselves.
