Chapter 833: Escape (1/2)
Sam felt his whole body go numb. For some reason, this paralytic poison is acting against his body.
Every time a poison entered the body, his Hydra bloodline always took over and assimilated the poison, he would escape without any harm done to his body.
But this time, for some reason, before the hydra bloodline could even do anything, his human bloodline, the human flesh of his body started absorbing it crazily and it is even opposing the hydra bloodline.
Generally, all the beast bloodlines Sam has in his body are completely superior to his human part and the combination of this many bloodlines should have already killed Sam by now. Every bloodline of that caliber will be trying their best to show that they are the superior ones.
Which would lead to his body tearing itself apart. But because of this cultivation method, the body became proper junction that holds every bloodline separately and makes it coexist. The beast bloodlines wouldn't be opposing the human part because, once that junction is destroyed, he would die.
Now taking this as an advantage, the human part of his body is greedily absorbing the paralytic poison, while the hydra part is trying to take over and absorb it.
At least Sam is not completely paralyzed at the moment.
Sam looked at Grace coldly, even though he is suffering a soul searing pain. He looked at the handcuff and realized that at least the key and the lock were real.
Arkiv released himself and held Sam who is struggling to stand up.
Sam took Arkiv's support and looked at the feathered and said.
”This will mark the beginning of the real war between you and us. Whatever happens after this, remember that you have only yourself to blame. One last reminder, if you can send this back to your city, I won't stop you.
You better evacuate citizens from this place or what awaits them is a fate worse than death.
With that he whistled louds and gestured Arkiv to lay down on the ground.
At this moment, the earth shook and the feathered who are standing on it felt like it is about to collapse as a flying species their first instinct is to jump upwards.
But only then did they realize that they made a mistake. The earth is merely a distraction. A bunch of spikes flew from the top of the large trees. The spikes are a bit different though, they have grey flames all over it.
The spikes impaled themselves into the bodies of the feathered and they were surprised that they didn't feel much pain.
The spikes are not exactly damaging. They hovered over the sky for a second and one of them spotted a tree which also has grey flame on it. It was also hit by a stray spike and they realized just how much shit they are going to face now.
Their bodies slowly caught on the grey flame and started burning.
The feathered slowly collapsed to the ground and started rolling around.
By now, Sam sat down in a cross-legged position and started meditating. He has to get rid of the poison and all he has to do is make the human part of his dormant for a few seconds.
He closed his eyes and struggled for a few minutes before getting an idea. He used the Vampire bloodline to suppress his human one.
But in these few minutes, he will get that monstrous feel where he would want to eat everything.
If only there was other way. Sam activated the vampire bloodline and his whole body screamed of extreme hunger. After that first dose of elven blood he took from Ramya, his cravings didn't stop.
He has to keep the vampire bloodline dormant and suppressed to save himself from turning into a literal monster.
The hydra bloodline finally started working, Sam even let Mia out to help him with physical extraction of the poison.
It is too potent and the bloodline will take some time to absorb it alone.
Mia bit into his arm and started sucking the blood and poison out as she consumed it directly.
Even though it was just one shot, it took a few minutes to clean the poison.
When Sam opened his eyes, he is feeling a bit weaker and stood up while stretching.
Arkiv is standing nearby as he looked at the feathered that are struggling to fight back the effects of the grey flame.
The grey flame is created by the undying volcanic rocks. The very stone, the vampire, wights and ghouls used to deal with the dwarven towns and cities.
Sam has caught every volcanic rock in the possession of his chess pieces, but he didn't find a proper use for them. In the Charbhum realm, he didn't get into enough trouble to use these things.
Now he is using them.
”What is going to happen to them?”
Arkiv asked after Sam walked towards him.
”They will turn into undead creatures. I will capture them and throw them into the city.”
When they heard it, the feathered are shocked. Grace in particular is shocked beyond belief.
”Can you save her?” Arkiv asked.
”Why?”
