Chapter 1060: Oath (1/2)

As the young master stared at Sam who stopped playing the flute, he was dumbfounded. He could see the energy domains disappearing and the aftermath is clearly visible to see.

The whole area is full of residual elemental energies moving in a special rhythm.

The whole place is infested with the aura of the music and the marks of their battle. He is sure that people that barely started their music practice will have great gains if they come here. But all of those thoughts disappeared as he looked at Sam who is coming towards him.

When they are only a few feet away, Sam spoke.

”I really admire your musical prowess. I don't know if I should say that it is an honor to fight with you or it is a pity that you are on the other side. But I cannot bring myself to kill you just like that.

You have two choices. One, swear an oath with your soul that you would continue practicing music and spread this path and if you want any revenge you can just come and find me. You wouldn't go after my subordinates of the branches of my organization.

The second option is that you would die on the spot.

I have no large enmity with you and your family except for the fact that you are subordinates of Indra.

You choose.”

The young master was dumbfounded. He stood up and bowed to Sam before taking an oath.

”I shall continue the line of Merene family and shall spread my art. I thank Sir Sam for the mercy. If  I ever find myself in the maws of desire for vengeance, then I assure you that I will come searching for. This I swear on my honor as a Gandharva of the Merene family.

This is a Gandharva Oath.”

When he spoke lightning crackled in the sky. Sam looked surprised and the young master explained.

”Gandharvas have a special oath and vows that they could do. Since we are subordinates of the gods, our oaths would be recognized as the natural elements that are controlled and ruled by our gods. If I break my oath, the lightning of nature will not rest until I die.

In fact, we can even oversee other people's oath as a witness on behalf of nature. If a Gandharva acts as a witness of the oath between two different parties, the party that broke the oath will be judged by the natural element of the Gods that are worshipped by the Gandharva.”

Sam nodded and was surprised as he never heard about it.

The young master then took out something from his storage and gave it to Sam. It turned out that the heirloom is with the young master instead of the family head.

He stored it away and once again bowed to the young master and left to meet his team.

They finished the cleaning up.

There are not many people left in the Merene family. Except for the few people they sent to their friend's place so that their family branch would survive and the lineage wouldn't disappear, almost everyone else was dead.

The city that was currently calm and curious about the Merene family's movements would surely burn in chaos in a few days.

Sam and his team entered the city to take the rest of the night and move later the next day.

The whole war ended in only one day and the fate of the realm was turned upside down.

While the team went to the inn and make other arrangements, Sam went to the family estate of the Merene family, there is no one there to stop him, so he went into the temple and meet with the Indra statue.

He took out a small liquid energy cell and tied it to the statue before performing the ritual.

”Really Indra? You can be angry at me for being a pain in your ass, you can at least be kind to your devotees, can't you. You should have at least not played with their feelings by using words like curse breaking and such. They all died because of you. Can you understand that? You killed them all?”

”Don't think you can escape the sin just because you try to push the responsibility to me. You are the killer, the blood is on your hands. You will soon reap what you sow.”

”Well, I guess, your words also apply to you too. Good luck with that.”
