Chapter 876: A heartless Revenge (1/2)

Sam and Arkiv finally managed to sit down for a second.

Arkiv was really confused on what happened and as he recalled what he did a few seconds, he was horrified.

When he was about to ask Sam what is this, Sam already spoke.

”No time, for explanation. Recover first, we don't when we will warped again.”

He threw a bottle of wine mixed with some heavenly wine to him and both of them tried their best to recover.

As they recovered slowly, Sam briefly told Arkiv what to do.

”After killing the beasts, you will start to feel irritated slightly and whenever that feeling comes, avoid the killing and start meditating. After you calmed down, you can hunt again.” Arkiv remembered all his words, but he is still a bit confused.

If only he tried to meditate a bit in the middle, he would have taken note of the anomaly and he would have already been saved from this torturous manipulation of his own mind.

Before Sam could explain anything though, he felt the warping effect and he yelled.

”Remember to meditate and keep a calm mind.”

He reappeared in a different place with a lot of beasts already surrounding him.

Sam let Dia and Raiju out to deal with them.

He is already feeling a little anxious about Arkiv. He really wished they could at least move together. He knew for sure that once Arkiv is encountered with other players, he would have no way to hold back. There is at least one player that is going to die and if the luck of the winning player is bad, he would warp and appear in a place with beasts in his weakened state.

Escaping death would be almost impossible.

He didn't have special relationship with any of the players other than Arkiv. They are a bit friendly at best and that is it.

But there is one thing that held all the players together in times of need and that is they are all in the same boat.

They are all puppets being used for amusement of some gods who are so powerful beyond their belief and their imaginations.

So, they empathized with each other and that is why they tried to keep each other alive by holding back at times and having friendly spars even when the cost of it is a treasure that could cause wars within the realms.

Even if Sam got most of them, they didn't leak the news to any powerful people that could harm him. Nobody stabbed anyone in the back.

Even Donner who almost killed Sam, and is on constant fear of losing his life in Sam's hands, he still didn't do anything that would involve third parties other than players to kill Sam.

It was all a tacit understanding. No matter what happens between them, it was their problem. They don't want others to involve and they have this kind of weird bond, where they don't have any affection, friendship or any other relationship other than the faint mutual understanding about their situations in this world.

That is the main reason why this many players survived until now and in the last few Palace of inheritances, the difficulties increased so much, the only goal for the tests is to kill the players. But still with their capabilities most of them survived.

Now, this test is taking the rationality away and making them crazy so that they would put that mutual understanding aside and try to kill each other.

The gods must have realized that killing the players with just the test is not possible so they resorted to using the players against each other forcefully.

He must say that the gods have reached a new low once again.

Even if that god is the gambler who is supporting him.

He really wanted to pull their tongues out and demand them to explain why they are so twisted to torture someone who has already suffered so much and force them relive another torturous life.

At least, Sam has many other avocations by side like his research, work, business and many other things.

But he really felt pity for the rest of the players.

As he thought up to this point, he even felt surprised by his thoughts. This is the first time he is actively feeling some compassion to others instead of thinking it is their problem and they have to learn to deal with it or learn to endure it.

That was the philosophy he lived by in the past life. Maybe too many hardships and relatable people can change a person as stone cold as him.

Another few rounds of warping later.

Sam looked at the player in front of him.

It is the one player he wanted to meet the most and she seemed to be injured too.

The woman in the black, the last player and the one whose name no one knows.

She is standing there staring at Sam coldly while her arms are burning with black flames.

Sam took a deep breath and took a black whip.
