Chapter 896: Demonstration (1/2)

Sam expected a pursuit from the Barbarians, but to his surprise, nobody was after him.

Because back at the city gate, the young head didn't let anyone chase him. Everyone complained and he had to explain the situation about Druv.

Everyone felt ashamed when they heard that. It could be said that the Barbarians have a very fragile ego. Just one of them has supposedly made a 'mistake' of saving his brother from dying in a duel and they are all ashamed and embarrassed.

If Sam was in their place, not only would he catch the other person, he would have done so in the middle of the fight.

Particularly, when that person is someone who is passionately provoking them. Day in and day out.

That day passed with their moods getting gloomier.

For some reason, the young head went to meet Watt and started talking to him.

”I met your friend.”

”Oh, I have heard.”

”What did you hear?”

”Enough to know that your brother's sweet little ass is saved by you in the middle of the fight.”

The young head smiled bitterly.

”What is wrong with us? Why does a captive know about the incident that happened at the city gate? Is it really normal?”

”Why are you asking me? Have you never had a captive before?”

”Not for this long. We would kill instantly most of the time and if we need any info, we torture you and kill you in two to three days, whether you give us the info or not. That was our norm.”

”Well, I would give you some tips then. Tell your guards to shut the fuck up when they are near the captive, they are constantly talking about random things, you wouldn't even believe how much information they are giving away.”

”I will make sure that doesn't happen next time. For you. It doesn't matter anymore.”

”There will be no next time.”

”We will see. Anyway, your friend said something about a surprise. We want to stay prepared.”

”It is useless. Because even I don't know what kind of surprise he would be giving.”

”He said that this is a sample for what he can do and we have to multiply it by hundred times to see the full extent of his attacking power. I have a really bad feeling about it. So, I need your help.”

”Just because I am giving you occasional tips, doesn't mean I would be helping you every time.

I am sure that there is nothing you could do about it. Good luck.”

”Just what do you guys want?”

”Well, you should be asking that to your goddess. She is the one that started this. You kidnapped me on her words that too to provoke Sam, even letting me send a message to him.

You guys listened to her and wanted to kill my friend, so this is the payback. You live by the sword, then you die by the sword.”

The young head left the place with a gloomy expression. There are many thoughts going through his head. Why does a goddess up in the highest of the realms want to do something to a young human who is barely an Astral Plane cultivator?

Why are they the ones doing the bidding?

Why are they dying on her behalf?

All these questions are killing him. If one has too much faith in something and all that faith did is lead them towards destruction, they are bound to question the faith.

He couldn't rest that night, he didn't even bother to treat his wound properly and left in the middle of the treatment.

As dawn neared, he had a gripping feeling in his chest, making him think of all kinds of scenarios.

Scenarios that he never thought he would imagine are all going through his head.

And a few minutes before dawn, Sam is currently high above in the sky.

Above the clouds, from the ground, he and Sky are just a mere black dot. He is standing on Sky as he looked down with the telescope. From that height, it is hard for even him to see the city with a naked eye even when he used the eye technique.

He used the telescope and eye-technique to even see a faint outline of the city.

After making sure that he could see that, he opened the dimensional drifter.

He already marked the city's coordinates, so he is checking whether he is exactly collinear to the city with his current coordinates and he adjusted according to those coordinates until he became really collinear.

After he reached that spot, he put the dimensional drifter away and took a cylindrical object.
