Novel Full Chapter 1309 - Ghosts
Butler Si and Disciple One along with a bunch of onlookers watched as the tower started collapsing in front of them. They were stunned by such an event happening right in the middle. Everyone heard of what happened at the inn a few days ago.
They heard of the challenge between Sam and Disciple One, but no one expected Sam to take this kind of action.
The explosion clearly showcased the chaos of the energy waves. When the collapse of the tower was completed, only half of the people inside the tower were alive and even they were severely injured.
But that was not the end of it. From what looked like distorted corpses and bloody messes, several ghosts suddenly shot out.
*SCREEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCH*
*SCREEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCH*
*SCREEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCH*
Several screams were heard from them as they dove towards the weak and puny members that are still alive. Butler Si felt a cold shiver through his spine as he looked at what transpired next. Even with the decades of experience and the bloodshed he himself created, he couldn't digest what he saw.
Each ghost possessed the bodies of the mercenary group mercilessly and inflicted what seemed like a soul searing excruciating pain.
"AAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH…"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....."
"HEEEELLLP…."
Everyone started screaming even though they barely had any energy left in their bodies. They are feeling the most pain they had ever felt in their lives.
And the pain is not for their bodies, it was directed to their souls. They felt the pain of being pierced with a thousand needles, being burned in a furnace and drowned in ice cold water all at the same time.
Apart from that, they also lost the control over their bodies. They started attacking each other as if they are archenemies for several lifetimes.
One by one they started losing lives and the original souls in the bodies are merging with the cursed souls that are taking the possession of their bodies.
As the cursed souls increased their strengths, they all turned towards Butler Si and Disciple One.
Butler Si, immediately understood who their target was.
Sam has programmed the souls such that they would increase their strength with the help of the souls of all the red glove mercenary members and they will then target Disciple One.
From their strength, Butler Si, immediately understood one thing. If not for the fact that he is present here today, Disciple One would die worst of the deaths.
He immediately extended his hands as his spatial energy transcended the physical space and blocked the coming ghosts.
They couldn't cross the barrier created by Butler Si, but they were managed to attack the barrier which started damaging Butler Si's psych.
Meanwhile, Sam walked out of the inn and came to the street as he looked at the Master-Disciple Duo.
"Fuck." He cursed out loud as he looked at the mercenary tower area.
Three ghosts are currently rapidly coursing through the rubble as they collected the spatial rings and flew towards him.
He collected all the rings and started running towards the city authority office.
He needs to get out of here no matter what. He even used the mechanical leg to its full extent as he kicked on the ground and flew over the streets and houses.
Grivon looked at Sam escaping with bright eyes. He felt an excitement that he has never felt before. It is like a treasure that nobody around him could see was clearly visible to him and only him. It was a treasure that only he could access, obtain and utilize as he liked.
He took out a communication token and spoke.
"Send the authorities. Even the strongest guard at the worm hole should be here near the tower. A guy named Sam with black metallic hand and a black metallic leg will be arriving. Waive his tax and bring him to safety. If anyone, particularly Butler from the Mari clan asks, tell them that he left and show them the wormhole to a far away realm."
"Yes, sir."
The other party agreed immediately without any hesitance.
The ghosts that Sam unleashed on Disciple One are not just menacing and powerful but they are also numerous. Even though they are master and disciple, they only have two cultivation stages separating them at the moment.
Butler Si, has hit his peak a long time ago and there is not a lot of growth left in him. But still this guy turned out to be a lot more powerful than Sam had thought. He already saw how proficient he is with the space element to the point that he managed to even stop the ghosts.
But if he had stayed for a bit more, he would have see that the only reason why Butler Si is even struggling with this is because of the presence of his disciple. There is no way he would have had this much trouble if it was just him.
Sam reached the city authority building in not time. He was received by the person in charge which surprised him a bit.
"Young Master Girvon has informed us that you would be here, please follow me immediately."
Sam was a bit skeptical, but when he thought of the threat posed by the Butler Si and compared it to the threat of this organization, he still felt it would be safe here.
He immediately ran to the back.
He was shown to a room full of concealment formations. There are way too many to the point even if an Astral Plane Consummation stage battle occurred inside, it wouldn't show a single sign to the one standing outside of the room.
Butler Si, noticed that Sam was running towards the City authority building. But he didn't give any chase immediately. After he blocked the ghosts, he looked at disciple one and said.
"Try to blink to the next street."
Disciple one did as he was told, but as if they were not even there initially, the ghosts directly disappeared from the spot zoomed past Butler Si, as they went to the next street.
Butler Si also disappeared from the spot and reappeared right next to the Disciple One.
He knew that something like this is going to happen. Disciple One's soul is marked by these ghosts and they wouldn't stop until they get to him or until they disappear completely.
He could only battle it out with them.
But it didn't take long within a few minutes, he destroyed all the ghosts and caught a hold of Disciple One as he got ready to leave this place. But he has stop because someone else arrived at the place. The strongest wormhole guard and people in charge arrived which made him stop. He knew there is no easy way out.
If he just disappeared like this, Mari Clan would have to explain, so he calmed down and had a discussion with them and only then was he able to leave.
Even then, he was walked to the wormholes.
"A young man who had fake leg and fake arm came here running when the explosion started. Where did he go?"
The guard posted there pointed into one of the wormholes and after taking note of which place the wormhole leads to, he went back to Mari Clan along with his Disciple.
Sam waited there in the room as he thought of ways to escape this situation if push comes to shove. He looked at the hundreds of thousands of inscriptions runes on the wall as he analyzed them. He managed to differentiate a few formations separately.
He took his own brush and started writing here and there. He knew there is no way out, but if it really comes to it, he will completely destroy the whole thing and find a different way with the specter ad try to escape. The worst case scenario is that he would die which he is extremely unwilling to do.
As he was thinking, Grivon entered the room and looked at Sam who is extremely vigilant.
"Don't worry. You are way too valuable for me to kill you like this. I have a lot of things that I need you to do for me."
"I am not a goon to be hired. I don't do dirty work of someone else. Those days are far too behind me."
"Of course, I am not hiring you for a goon. I am looking for your strength, I am hiring you for your brain."
"That is something I am still selling. But I doubt you would be happy with the price."
"You never know, until you name it. But first, let's get out of here. I have a perfectly safe place where any of your enemies can never reach."
Sam thought for a moment and said.
"I am not leaving without a contract."
"Really? You are that cautious?"
"Last time I was not cautious, I lost a body and that is to someone from a clan like yours. I am way too far away from my own organization and I am deprived of all of my resources which I painstakingly built over decades.. I don't think I can ever be cautious enough in the future."
