Chapter 739: Robin Strikes Again (1/2)

Sam looked at the two pieces of the centaur's corpse in front of him and threw the halberd away.

Initially, there are ten people who were running towards Sam, but now that one of them is gone in an instant, the remaining nine people halted in their tracks.

Sam walked towards the next opponent without waiting for their advance. The next one is a Half-Elf.

He is fast, but not fast enough to escape. Even his agility didn't help him dodge when Sam kicked straight in his face.

He fell on his back and Sam just stood on him with one foot on his chest and the other on his face.

He constantly stomped his face and soon the head was buried into the loose soil and cracked after hitting a solid rock.

The ten of them are clearly not a team, they just came together on someone else's instructions, but when they saw Sam's savage nature and the leisure expressions of the trio without any sign of anxiousness, they are starting to get worried.

They are actually the criminals that are supposed to be in the prison and some official in charge of the prison or an official that has influence big enough to let ten criminals out made them have a go at him after making sure that he didn't have a house or a residence in the city.

Sam kind of guessed this from the meteor strike. The strike would have made a serious damage to him. The energy is too much in that one attack and even if Sam managed to destroy it, the rocks would be easily destroyed, but the remains will destroy the surroundings which would be blamed on Sam.

It is just a trap that has a few outcomes that are beneficial to the hidden party that is planning something against Sam.

But that didn't stop Sam from getting angry. The house is his after all. Not anyone can destroy it at their whim and not pay a price for that.

So, Sam wanted to send a message.

And he is doing so. For the next five minutes, it is a heartless slaughter and the whole area was dyed in blood. He held a large battle hammer in his hands as he stood in front of the last tenth candidate who is a human.

He knelt before Sam and looked at him with pleading eyes.

”Please, let me go. I will tell you who sent me. I will give you all the details.”

He asked for mercy again and again and Sam only replied with one sentence.

”You don't have to.”

With that, he smashed the battle hammer on his head. The head exploded as a watermelon and brain matter spilled all over the place.

The corpse fell backward. Sam extended his hand and once again used the soul necromancy and called the Specter out.

The Specter absorbed the soul and shot a light towards Sam's forehead giving the required memories.

Sam went through them and saw an elf along with the remaining nine criminals altogether. The elf is an official from the city prison.

Sam waved his hand and the zoi termites came out along with the locusts to clean the battlefield and the larger insects even collected the bones and took them back to the divine dimension.

They don't know if someone was attracted by the commotion or it is a sheer coincidence but the city guards came ten minutes later and inspected the battle traces all the while questioning the group.

”Ten criminals escaped from the prison and some people reported that they came this way. Have you seen them?”

Philip took it up on himself to answer their questions as Raunak is still a bit nervous about the things that are happening all of a sudden.

He was ecstatic by the fact that a good portion of the tax target was cleared and on the same day, there was an attack on a person who is responsible for the tax clearance.

The worst part is they don't even know who they pissed off.

”We didn't see any of them,” Philip answered the city guards.

”Then what are the signs of the battle.”

”We are just sparring.”

”Sparring?”

”Yes. We are a bit tense about the attack on our house, so we are here to relieve some of the tension by sparring. Why? Is it illegal too?”

The city guards were dumbfounded.

Their presence here is not a coincidence at all. They were told to go to this place and identify the bodies of either these four guys or the dead bodies of the escaped criminals and arrest these four guys.
