Chapter 977: Grow faster (2/2)

If he reached the Peak stage of Initiation, then he would have some standing. With his tricks and techniques along with the shadow sword, he would be able to hold himself against some of the opponents in worst case scenario.

Even if the battle prowess might not be directly helpful, he would at least be able to gain some extra access to his other abilities like observation, the energy vision and gain more access into the formations and inscriptions which are essentially the major aspects within his arsenal.

So, for one week he conducted all kinds of tests on raiju and the demon blood and heart to find the most suitable and the fastest way to digest it.

And after some plans he formulated inside the divine dimension, the most he could speed up is four months.

He started setting up the plan and for that he has to use the tempest valley and Raiju has to go through some struggle.

He ordered his subordinates to start some construction in the tempest valley and Old Beast prevented lightning from striking the subordinates while they are working on the construction.

After that, he sent the team to different realms and went on with the plan.

He finished the formation after the construction is completed.

The formation has only one function. It focuses the lightning that was striking in a single area and focuses it in a single point and mellows it down a little.

Raiju will sit in the centre of the formation and consumes the potions of blood and heart slowly.

And he channels the lightning energy to breakdown the whole blood and heart so that he could consume it faster.

He is diluting the blood with lightning to absorb it faster and dissolve it in his own body.

And Sam would sit with him in the middle of the formation taking the lightning strikes along with him and also channeling the energy so that Raiju wouldn't feel too burdened by it.

The remaining beasts will be kept in a ring around the construction where the lightning wouldn't reach. But the energy from both of them could be channeled.

This process will go on for four months until they reached the Peak stage of Initiation.

The Old beast looked at Sam and then at the sky.

He could understand Sam's desperation, particularly when he thought of the team members Sam brought here. They are strong and full of potential. If Sam wants to catch up with them, It would take more than just resources.

He has to go through many more rituals like he is going through now.

But what worried him even more are the circumstances the people are in. Except for Sia and Gran who followed him voluntarily, the remaining people had to join because of Sam's help in the desperate situations.

As much as it looked like a mere coincidence, it would be hard for even him to digest that someone across the world is going through something that Sam could take care of at the exact time that Sam is looking for the strong subordinates.

This way too fortunate.

And unlike many people and even Sam, the Old Beast believes in fortune and fate.

But it is not exactly an absolute. In fact, it is an ever changing stream that changes its direction and flow because of the spontaneous obstacles that might come at any time.

From the looks of it though, it seems like there are no obstacles for Sam in quite a while which is making him a bit anxious.

But in his current situation, he cannot do anything even if he suspicious. He just has to wait. Wait until the time for him to get out of here comes and once it comes he would be able to see what the reason behind this actual game is.

As he looked towards the sky in hopes of looking past the realms, the Gambler is also looking down in a screen which is displaying the ritual Sam is going through with a smile on his face which couldn't be seen.

”If only I can make you grow even faster. If only I can make the time run faster. Come up Sam. I am waiting for you.”
