Chapter 936: Recruitment Drive (1/2)

The King looked at Sam who is falling. His fall is too high. It would take at least thirty seconds for him to reach the point.

He decided to take care of the twins in these thirty seconds before he shifted his focus to Sam.

But as soon as he decided and was about to make a move, the twins lunged towards him directly and they held his hands with their bodies. Agar held the hand that held the staff and started heating the whole arm directly and Argan who is holding the hand with excess muscle which is being rejected by the rest of the flesh did the same.

The King was caught off guard. There is a reason why people don't usually make these kinds of moves. They might be easily executed once the opponent was caught off guard, but it was also dangerous for the ones who made the move and might backfire big time.

Particularly when the opponent is too strong.

And in this case that is how the situation should have turned out. But the pain receptors are at their most sensitive state which made the King almost pass out.

At this moment Argan canceled his fire elemental fusion and activated the light elemental fusion and injected the light elemental energy into the arm.

The muscle tissue that was being rejected finally found its backer it started absorbing the vitality from the light elemental energy and when the King tried to inject his own spiritual energy to numb the pain, he felt an even more soul-searing pain out of nowhere which almost wanted him to die. This is the most painful situation he has ever been in.

He couldn't even move his arms much less attack the targets that are right under his arms. While he tried to calm himself down, he remembered something and looked upwards.

Sam almost neared the ground and is only a few feet away.

He is in the merged state of shadow fusion and Space fusion and held the shadow sword in his hands.

As he moved towards the ground, he used the shadow sword to slash right behind the King and before he could touch the ground, he used the shadow and space elemental energies to turn into a puff of smoke and reappearing in front king.

The spatial tear to the Shadow world opened up and Sam's shadows hugged the King from the rear and the corrosive shadow energy started coming out of the tear crazily.

Sam used a spatial barrier shield combined with the shadow elemental energy to cover himself and the twins as they slowly pushed the King into the portal.

His pain didn't allow him to move the arm. His instincts are completely taking over and didn't let him try to do anything that increased the pain.

Agar held onto the staff tightly, but the King held on to it even tighter and didn't show any signs of losing it.

The staff is his life. There is no way he would give it up that easily.

But as he struggled the shadow's corrosive energy is seeping into his body which felt like a bug gnawing into his flesh. He felt exasperated as all his life revolved around and for the first time in the past few days, he has a moment of clarity.

When he remembered all the things that are happening to him. His obsession, his addiction, his debauchery, his arrogance, his Queen. All of the things that came to his mind. He understood that something is wrong. All of it cannot be a coincidence. If he was going to die, he at least needs some answer. He struggled with all the remaining energy.

But the twins and Sam are not worried. The King is already halfway through the tear. Now they waited for the spatial tear to close down.

Sam and King had eye contact and the King who knew that his demise is almost inevitable asked.

”Who are you?”

”I am your killer.”

”Why are you trying to kill me? I don't think we have any enmity.”

”Well, I would have told you to go and ask Hel. But it seems like it has been a long time since you guys contacted her. I don't know if you got the message or not, but I am Sam and I got a mission to get this staff.”

”Would you leave me if I give up the staff?”

”I am sorry, I also made a deal that I would kill you if someone helped me set you up. And this is the end for you. It is not good to lose yourself in debauchery. Things wouldn't turn out properly when you indulge yourself too much. Now goodbye.”
