Chapter 868: Interference (2/2)
”I want to ask some personal questions if you don't mind.”
”Please do.”
”Which planet are you from?.”
”Star bird Planet, the Azure path realm.”
Sam nodded and was about to leave the room when he suddenly recalled something and asked.
”Where is Arman's body?”
”It is waiting for you outside. You can take him before you leave.”
”Thank you.”
With that, he left the room and he was back in the hall.
There Arkiv is sitting on the floor gloomily as he looked at Arman's body lying on some kind of bed.
The rest of the players are also solemn. This fourth death. They all have some sort of friendship in one way or the other, even if they are not friends, they have mutual compassion as everyone was forced to live this life.
They also have mutual respect for each other. So, whenever a player fell all of them are sad. Even when Agun died in hands of Sam, even though it is completely deserving since he tried to kill Sam first, they still felt bad for him.
All of them paid their respects.
Only the woman in the black who is the last player is standing far away weakly.
Sam wanted to kill her right there and then, but the hall of the palace didn't give them that freedom. There are rules he has to follow.
Sam wanted to ask something before the Avatar appeared again and spoke.
”There is another game this time and the game is to collect the Blood crystals of the Blood Wyvern in this realm.
This game goes on until the next Palace of inheritance.
The one with most crystals is going to win. You can go back to other realms if you can, but only the crystals from this realm will count and the dimensional crossers will not be activated until the next Palace of inheritance.
Sam felt like this announcement was music to his ears.
He carried Arkiv's body and walked out of the Palace of inheritance.
The woman in the black didn't want to exit the Palace. She was really afraid to leave.
She took a hold of the transference scrolls that she just got and as soon as she walked out of the entrance after the rest of them, she used one.
Sam didn't stop her, he just let her go.
But she didn't feel safe enough, she used another scroll right after that and by now, she is far away from the capital.
Sam looked at Arkiv and said.
”I am going back to desolate first. Do you want to come along?”
”Yes.”
Sam nodded and walked towards the king, he handed Arman's body over to Arkiv and took the ashes he collected.
”He met with a disaster and lost his life. By the time I met him his body is half burned, I didn't want to keep him like that.”
The king took the container with ashes and gave it to his son.
”Thank you for bringing him back.”
”I will be leaving this place for a while. I have something to talk to you after I came back.”
”Sure.”
With that Sam left the place along with Arkiv and Arman's body and after entering his residence, he returned to desolate using the dimensional drifter.
He took Arman's body to an empty space within the Sam's city and buried him there after constructing a small tomb for him all by himself.
Then, he took out a tree sapling and buried it at the foot of the grave.
”We didn't have a smooth journey until now. But I do feel that you are my friend. I apologize for not being to avenge your death. But one day, I will kill her and bring her ashes to this very grave and use it as a fertilizer for this tree.
Goodbye my friend. I hope you find peace in your next life.”
Arkiv also attended the funeral.
Sam has half a mind to get the trio back, but he didn't.
After finishing the cremation. Sam stayed in the city for the next day just doing nothing and returned back to that realm.
He met with the king of the Winged race.
”I want your men to keep an eye on her.” Sam gave a sketch to him and said.
”I need proper information on her and in exchange, I will train an elite force for you. A force that your rival race cannot rival anymore.”
