Chapter 1069: Oasis of the Ice Plains (1/2)

Sam and his team retired to their camp instantly. They didn't care what the merchants thought, they will be leaving this place by the next day, even if the merchants really brought someone, with Sam's temper, he might just kill them all.

After they returned, Sam started cooking. Since he promised Sky that he would cook, he can only comply, but as soon as he started the stove, the plates lined up one after the other from the beasts to the teammates.

He sighed and just went on with it.

The atmosphere in the cave is really warm. There is not a single sign of the massacre they just did.

But there is one person who is gloomy. Paras.

Sam knew that Night Ghost gave him the memories and from that point on, he became like this.

Sam took two plates and passed one over to him before sitting down beside him.

”What happened?” He asked.

Paras took the plate and said with a sigh.

”I got some valuable information. If we catch the heads of the five great sects, I will get all the answers.”

”The five great sects? That is a tricky one. But that still doesn't explain your current mood.”

”I have a clue on why this all happened. And I don't want it to be the truth.”

”Hmm, wrestling with the truth. Been there and done that. The thing is, the truth never changes. Even if you don't want to believe it and you don't want it to be the truth, it is not possible to change it. The sooner you accept it, the better it would be. So, if you tell me, why you don't want it to be the truth, then I might be able to help you digest it faster.”

”It involves another god. Other than these three that are already involved and the reason behind all of this might seem too petty. I suspect these three used the hands of that god to deal with the whole planet. They hid the matter only because they are afraid that the other god might learn the truth and make them pay for it.”

”So, you are saying, you are now mad because it was all because of some shit that gods had between themselves and you and your people had to pay the price.”

Paras nodded.

Sam chuckled and said.

”Do you know the Demi Giants, why do you think they died?”

Paras didn't answer, but Sam continued.

”They didn't do anything to me, they didn't harm me, there is no enmity. But they still died. The Demi Giants are a warrior race, but they died like that buried under some ten thousand-year-old ice. All because they worshiped a god that likes to play with their lives. We are the ones who killed them, but the god they earnestly worship day and night is the one who led them to their deaths.

Compared to their situation, you at least have a chance to get revenge, even if it is the gods that made your people go through all this, you at least have a chance to fight for yourself. You only think about that chance and hold on to it. Work with it, get your vengeance and in the process explore for that answer you are looking for.

After all, it is no use thinking whether they died for a petty reason or some greater cause, the point is they died. Your loss wouldn't diminish its value just because the reason behind it is petty. Now get over it, eat and get ready, we are going to a different ice field tomorrow.”

”What did you say, boss? Ice field again?” Saber Monarch yelled from the other side of the cave.

”Stop yelling you numb skull, everyone can hear you if you speak normally.” Vidyut retorted even before Sam could reply and then the banter began.

The next morning, Sam's team met with the merchants to get some news about their next target as they both belong to the same realm. As for why two powers such as these are staying in a single realm unlike the Night Demons who conquered realms, this realm is actually bigger than the Night Demon realm and there are a few powers that could rival the Night Demon realm and they have smaller realms that provide them with resources.

But their next target is not like that, they are hidden in a different way.
