Brig was surprised by Sam’s answer.
“Marry my daughter to him? You really have a high opinion of him.”
“Of course, I do. He is honorable, humble, has strict moral code for himself. He also doesn’t do stupid shit like the young masters of your clans do. He is a perfect guy.
I would be his friend and not just friend for the sake of it. A proper friendship with a lasting relationship.”
Brig nodded his head and went into a deep thought.
Kach and Yana don’t know that Sam and Brig are actually discussing their relationship.
The two youngsters who took a liking to each other were lost in their own worlds for a while. But every day, Kach started and finished his day with the same question.
“What do you want me to do?” That is the only question he had for Sam every day.
He always confirmed that Sam doesn’t have any task for him before doing anything else. One of the reasons, why Sam had a great impression of him.
Just like that, days passed.
After the fourth day, the clashes became a bit intense. The clans that started their own battles and wars are rising the stakes with every passing hour and of course, Sura clan is also pretty much drawn in.
Clan 2 and Clan 3 , the two clans that didn’t completely break off the decorum with Sura clan in particular even tried forge a partnership with them on several occasions. And because of what Sam did, instead of being the single and sole victim against six clans, Sura clan became a normal player in this whole mess.
Players are having a hard time. They cannot find enough man power to execute the plans against Brig.
By the night of fifth day, they all came to a conclusion after tasting different types of failure.
That is to escalate the war.
Yes, that is the solution they came to after striving so hard and failing so many of their plans.
Noah and Kumar also expressed this as soon as they came to the conclusion.
“What the hell is wrong with you guys? Even though I had my doubts initially, your plans are mostly practical. If not for the powerful counters devised by them as if they already know what’s about to happen are the only reason for this.
I still have some good impression of you. Don’t let that get to your heads and destroy your reputation.”
“This is not just a desperate attempt to get things done. Rather this is actually the most feasible solution that we can think of now.
If our guess is right, the rest of the clans could also only do the same. Even they don’t want to, once the both of your clans did that, the rest will have to follow suit.
The war should now be in happening in such a way that all the troops and core members of the organization should be busy to the core.
Even Brig who was in the protection in the clan grounds until now, should be unable to risk his lack of involvement.
Only then will we be able to drag him out and catch him in action. The only time that we will get a chance to deal with him.
And trust me, if we know the other players as much as we think we know, there is no way they are not going to think the same. They will be proposing the same thing to the other clan heads. They are going to do the same thing.
Think carefully and make this decision.”
“Are you sure? The stakes are going to be high. We don’t really want to stake all of the resources for a single technique. The probability of getting it is also not really that high.
I personally really like you both. Just join Clan 4 and stay with us. We could grow together.” One of the core elders from Clan 4 spoke.
“There is no need. If they really want to join, they can join our clan too. They are more than welcome there.” An elder from Clan 5 retorted.
“Can you guys please stop discussing this? WE already told you. It is impossible for us to join not just you, any other organization for that matter. By this time, day after tomorrow, we will be gone. We might not even meet again in the future.
So any talks of join the organization are futile to say the least.
Anyway, just discuss this and let us know.”
Similar conversations are happening everywhere else, except for Sura clan and the Clan 6. Sam was clear that he will not be a part of this organization and the clan 6 didn’t even push an offer forward.
But one common point in conversation is an all out war.
That night, hundreds of soldiers from different organizations were moved. Everyone waited for the dawn carefully and when the dawn finally arrived, a war happened.
The war is in a scale that the land hasn’t seen in centuries. The number of people is not actually that huge, but the strength of people and what they represent is insane.
The players who have seen many things in many places were also shocked. The number of Astral Plane Consummate cultivators is huge to the say the least and a lot of them are just a little more than foot soldiers in this war.
The realm is filled with battle cries and weeping commoners who are afraid when the war will catch up to them.
Within a day, cities disappeared, resource points were destroyed. Hundreds of people died, authorities and reigns altered completely within the realm.
Except for the clan leaders, everyone else joined the battle.
Obviously Sura clan got more heat than the rest of the organizations, even though the danger has lessened quite a bit, Brig is still the point of focus for this bloodbath.
So, all organizations more or less wanted to wear down the Sura clan a bit.
Of course, the defensive measures didn’t really make it easier for them.
But by the end of sixth day, when everyone is accounting for the losses they suffered in that day, they noticed that the Sura clan has the least.
This hit everyone by surprise. They didn’t expect this at all.
“What the hell is happened?” This is the reaction from anyone who heard this news.
As for this happened, the answer is actually the thing that started this whole shit storm. The technique that he obtained from Hel.
Brig decided to make full use of this and now he is a dark elemental user that can heal.
When the clan heads learned about this, they couldn’t help but salivate a bit. Even though they are a bit skeptical and reluctant about this whole plan initially, after looking at this data, they all wanted the technique.
Now, they felt like the losses they encountered a bit justified. They didn’t feel the same pinch.
So, they informed the troops at the front line and the players were delighted to hear this.
“Alright, the moment of truth will be at dawn tomorrow morning. The last day we have in this realm and the last day for this stage of the competition. Let’s hope all of our hard work counts.’
Noah said to Kumar.
“Maybe, it will be. Sam is extremely injured and obviously, he is corrupted with hell’s energy. You and I barely have any corruption on us, but it still hurt like hell. What do you think is happening within in body? He will be in endless pain. This is the only time, we might get his ass in this way.”
“We can’t trust that. That guy is tough.
Meanwhile back at Sura clan.
What Noah guessed is true. Sam is tough. At that exact moment, he is actually trying to suppress the hell’s corruption a bit.
“How are you feeling? Are you sure you can go through this?”
“Yes, it is fine. I have been through much worse than this. So, you don’t have to worry about me. “
Brig said as he looked at Sam.
“So, you are going to leave after you are done with the task.”
“Yes.
“Why don’t you join in with us”
“You already know the answer to this.”
Sam rejected the offer once again and got his focus on work.
That night. Everything was smooth and calm. But irreparable changes are about to happen that will leave everyone a new person.
