Chapter 906: Devouring (1/2)
Sam is going after the second elder after confirming this speculation and the latter kept on dodging and dodging.
He took a lot of hits from Sam felt extremely frustrated.
The three remaining men are trying their best to impede Sam and they are succeeding for the most part.
Sam is losing energy every second and he cannot take extend it for too long.
He decided to do something big and finish this off in a single strike.
He used the thunder prison to cage himself and started concentrating his energy. He changed the full partial fusion of the shadow element to the partial fusion and the remaining part of the body is actually going through Space elemental fusion.
He closed his eyes and controlled the energy carefully as he tried his best to make both of completely different energies merge together to form a very critical balance between them.
This merged energy channeled through the sword and Sam suddenly took the cage off and slashed towards one of the three guys.
The sword ray reached right in front of the target and opened a spatial rift and that rift is leading to the Shadow world.
The suction force pulled the guy in and the shadow energy started corrupting him like crazy and at the same time Sam's shadows extended their hands and tried to pull him in.
The shadow energy corruption started and the barbarian slowly began to move into the shadow realm.
But the spatial is slowly closing at the same time. So, the barbarian finally found some hope and tried to pull himself out of the spatial tear. And he did have some improvement, but he couldn't do that in time and the spatial tear closed which cut his body in half while the rest was completely corrupted.
He is dead just like that.
Everything happened in three seconds. And the whole area turned silent, while the remaining two and the second elder are looking at Sam in a bit of horror.
Sam proceeded with his strikes and the second target was hooked while the third and fourth barely managed to dodge.
Sam kept on trying to get a hold of them and the surrounding barbarians who didn't want to involve in the fight are getting involved as the spatial tears landed near them and they are being sucked in.
The barbarian tribe will really lose their core power at this rate and without that, the rest of the tribes would swallow the Kala tribe in.
After a series of constant missed attempts, Sam finally got the last guy, and now only the second elder and a few completely injured and badly exhausted barbarians left in the field.
And the second elder actually stopped running.
Sam walked towards him as he prepared for the next strike.
”I really admire you, Sam. I really do.
A young man who is in his forties. By your age, I was still moping around as a Consummate stage cultivator. I have stayed at that stage for so long that it felt like most of my life.
I was never the strongest one out of all, but I had the greatest ambitions of all.
But you are here almost destroying my tribe single-handedly. I know what's the enmity between you and Hel, but I am really glad that she made an enemy out of you and used our tribe to do something to you.”
All of a sudden the energy around the second elder started changing and he became instantly stronger. Sam frowned at this.
This is completely different from what he speculated and this confusion made him stop in his tracks.
The second elder continued though.
”Because of you, I managed to get to the Warton tribe and used as an excuse to slaughter them and got what I wanted.
Because of you, the attention of the whole tribe including my brother, the tribe head all changed their attention towards you and because of that, I managed to do things that should be done to be what I currently am.”
Sam swung his sword and created the largest rift he could right in front of that man.
But the second elder jumped back and escaped before saying.
”You should have done that a few minutes ago. If not for all the members sacrificing themselves, it would have been indeed difficult, you might have even done it and I would have really died easily. But it is a bit too late.”
As soon as he spoke, his body started emitting the fumes just like it did with Dhar.
Sam frowned in confusion and so did the remaining barbarians. The second elder was the second elder for a reason. He shouldn't be having this ability. If he had that, he would have been the tribe head easily.
But he didn't inherit the berserker bloodline and Dhar's father did and took the spot away.
