Similar scenarios happened in all the territories of the Black curtain. Every leader somehow got a copy of the recording crystals from Leader 2's territory and everyone was stunned by how rampant Leader 2 is.
From the recording crystals, they speculated that leader 2 is full of himself and wanted to use the craziness of his brother as an excuse to conquer the territory of Leader 1.
Some of them speculated that he is in cahoots with Leader 3, some thought that he is just taking advantage of Leader 1, but either way, they are not going to let this go easily.
They need to do something.
At this moment, Leader 1 left the frontlines and met with Leader 4. Leader 1 and Leader 4 are the only ones who have a rather good relationship. Leader 1 wants power and authority while Leader 4 wants money and resources along with luxuries.
Unlike Leader 1, Leader 4 knew his limits and understood that he wouldn't be able to grow much and he already realized all his potential. So, he doesn't want to fight for authority and territory, not even glory is worth it in his opinion. All he wants is some peace and luxury.
So, even among the leaders, he is more like a mercenary and most neutral of them. But he is also the one who is easy to change.
Leader 1 immediately met him secretly and offered a sweet deal.
"I will manage the territory in your stead and you don't have to take any additional responsibilities, but seventy percent of the profits that come will be handed over to you. Support me in this battle, as long as we get a female target, I will capture them and bring them to you.
Just help me this once. Leader 2 is not as strong as you. You can deal with him, while I fight with Leader 3."
Leader 4 agreed immediately. He made these kinds of deals with Leader 1 many times, so he didn't have any problem.
So, he started attacking Leader 2's territory and started occupying the very same day. He is subtler than Chisk and he is perfectly proficient in doing so.
Looking at the Leader 4's movements, the remaining two leaders felt left out. Now four leaders are involved in the war and the two of them wanted to stay out and take advantage when everything went astray.
But they knew that it would be impossible.
And soon they got some news that Leader 2 joined Leader 3 as soon as Leader 4 joined the battle. Now there are two groups with two leaders in each and the two leaders single and outside.
Whether they joined the forces are not, a clash is bound to happen when the current wars are over. A new war is bound to happen, no matter what.
Sam looked at the whole situation and couldn't help but smile to himself.
But he didn't stay put because of this. He went to Leader 5's core territory where the main branch is located and placed a high-profile assignment.
It is to kill a middle stage transcendent cultivator of a certain power.
Sam's rewards are different. If the assignment is completed within two days, then the black curtain would get triple the amount.
The leader was delighted by such an assignment and sent an elite immediately.
Meanwhile, Sam and the team notified the target of the Black Curtain operations indirectly making him prepare.
The target is actually a young master of a different organization. Even though he is not exactly powerful, he is the future hope of the organization and this organization is named the Phoenix tail sect.
This is one of the organizations under Indra.
Since the three of them messed with Sam by making their subordinates alert and made him run circles, he wanted their organizations to suffer as well.
With Gamblers warning this time, they would be extremely vigilant about doing something stupid like before.
But Sam can do whatever he wants and until the news reached the gods, he could play with their subordinates as much as he wanted.
For the next two weeks, he roamed around with his team and started conflicts between many people and the black curtain.
More than twelve realms dwelled in chaos because of his actions.
After creating all the mess, he waited for the people involved to blow it out of proportion and let his team keep an eye.
As long as the leaders are clashing directly, then he would make a move, but from the looks of it, it would take a few months for it.
So, he decided to study and research meanwhile and cultivate at the same time.
He is currently involved in the Myriad curse guide.
This book actually subverted everything that Sam knew about curses.
The contents of the books can be divided into four basic categories.
The first one is direct curses.
The Curses are basic and profound at the same time.
Rotten curse, Curse of Pain, the curse of chaos, the curse of destruction, the curse of hallucination, the curse of sleep, the curse of fear. There are many curses that are cast directly face to face or indirectly, but all these are curses that have immediate effect.
They came in the second part of the book. It is about elemental curses. These are various methods to use different elemental energy attacks to fuse with dark elemental energy to create a special curse.
In the second category, all the elemental attacks can be converted into curses. For example, a fireball can be fused with the curse spell and inflicted on the target, instead of the flashy fireball moving through the whole area, the curse will be placed on the target directly and the target will undergo all the changes that the fireball brings to their body. Like charring and the burning pain and the damage that the fireball would inflict and at the same time, a normal curse could be attached to attack. A curse of pain that caused immense pain in the soul of the person can be attached to the fireball and when the fireball strikes the person, not only would they take the damage caused by the fireball, the curse of pain will also be inflicted on them.
The third category is a fusion of curses. Its purpose is fusing basic curses with a Medium that doesn't have any other effect other than acting as a binding agent for merging the curses. And these curses are not suitable for landing in a direct battle, rather they are better to be set traps or attached to the projectile weapons and be launched at people.
In this merging process, an elemental curse and normal curse can be fused. Two normal curses can be fused, two elemental curses can be fused and in the same way, the numbers are not exactly limited to two, the maximum number of curses they could fuse is ten.
The fourth category is the concept of dispelling the curses.
There are many ways on how the curse can be dispelled, there are many explanations using the construction methods that were given in the previous three categories.
Sam was really impressed by Hel's detailed analysis. It could be said that Sam looted more from Hel than any other god. He got the whip from her Palace of Inheritance, he got the repel stylebook and now he got this Myriad Curse guide which in his opinion nowhere inferior to the Repel style.
He could think of many ways to use these things. He already had planned on how to uses these to enhance Night Ghost's strength as well as to improve all the weapon systems he had.
For the next two months, Sam mostly started experimenting with curses. He never uses the dark elemental energy this much directly. Most of the time, he used death or even shadow elemental energy. This is the first time he used the dark elemental energy this much.
After constant practice, Sam came out. The war also reached its peak stage. Leader 3 cornered Leader 1 with the help of Leader 2. As for Leader 4, he was actually kept at bay with the reserve forces of Leader 3. More than half of Leader 4's forces were eradicated in the process, but Leader 3 still managed to bring more forces as if he didn't suffer any loss.
Now, Leader 1 and Leader 3 are on verge of clashing directly, in fact, there are already some skirmishes in the process of saving some elites they couldn't lose.
While these four forces are like this, Leader 5 and Leader 6 are in their own pickling situations.
Sam made them lock horns with some pain in the ass organizations by placing bounties and revealing them directly to the targets. But they are not on the verge of complete extermination.
But that was enough for Sam, all he wanted is for them to have some problems.
Anyway, as soon as the current war within Black Curtain was over, the remaining leaders would try to vie for the territory of the fallen ones and in process, there are bound to be more conflicts and that is enough for Sam to blow it out of proportion and deal with them.
