The Next Day.
The fight of the clan leaders was over. It should be considered as one of the most significant fights in the history of this realm. Because that day, four clan leaders died in the battlefield and the city they fought in was not only completely destroyed, the battle extended to everywhere in the surroundings.
One of them killed a clan leader that has a child in their possession. And luckily for him, the battle happened a bit away from the city.
Before the other clan leaders could realize what happened, he took the corpse of his opponent and escaped from that spot.
He directly went to the city of his dead opponent. To claim the child as his reward.
But when he arrived at the spot, he was dumbfounded to the point that he felt like he is stuck by lightning.
He hovered in the air as he looked at the large scale destruction in front of him.
All the citizens are currently looking at the destroyed clan and some people that are a bit daring are searching around to scavenge any valuables off of deadbodies.
The clan is destroyed. It is to the point there is not a living soul that belonged to the clan left. All the buildings are gone. The ground is a mess. It is almost it grew its own sentience and decided to grow some fangs to tear apart all the clan members.
It looked like that because there are a bunch of the clan members hanging as corpses at the ends of the earthen spikes.
Then there is a space that is charred to the extreme. There are a bunch of skeletons rooted to the ground and they are also charred completely. Not a single thing on their body survived, including their flesh.
And when he looked around, he found a bunch of things like pills, robes, armor, weapons etc lying all around them and of course they are also damaged beyond repair.
The clan leader understood what happened.
The spatial storages have been broken and everything inside has spilled and fell directly under the attack zone.
He gulped nervously and turned to another zone that made him soak in cold sweat.
A lava pool.
In the middle of the clan grounds there is a Lava pool that is still kind of active. The fire elemental energy is apparent and judging by the scene he could guess that this is purely the result of a battle.
Around the Lava pool, there are a bunch of trees and they are hanging some skeletons upside down inside the pool.
If these are all not enough the thing that attracted him the most are the headless corpses. One clean cut. The corpses and heads are so close to each other to the point it seems they just gently fell of their heads after they are detached.
All in all, the scene is a disaster.
It is like a manifestation of disaster. He couldn’t help but shudder in fright as he looked at the gruesome deaths around him,
And in the middle of it all, there is a large stone slap standing vertically. Three words were written on it.
“SAM WAS HERE.”
He shook his fear and immediately turned around and left.
This is the clan ground that Sam has visited the day before. Nothing was left of that clan. He didn’t know whether the clan leader has actually died or not. But he already made the move and destroyed everything about that clan.
If the clan leader is really alive, Sam didn’t really care.
He wanted to show a proper message to these clan leaders that are recklessly chasing after him every time the location has been revealed. Now they should think twice before they could do that.
And that is not the only place he left as an example.
There is actually another clan that is left in a similar state.
The day before, Sam destroyed these two clans and go the children from them.
Now, he has five children and there are only two more to take.
The last one is of course a special course that he left for the last. A grand finish for the whole fiasco.
That day, the news of Sam destroying two clans spread like wild fire. And out of those two, only one of the clan leaders died. The other one is injured severely, but he is still alive. When he came back to take a look at the massacre left behind, he swore revenge on Sam.
He promised to high heavens, that he would kill Sam with his own hands and wouldn’t rest until then. He even went away and madly searched for Sam trying to find out any clues.
But of course, he couldn’t find any. All he found was Sam’s location once again and just like before, he was unable to catch him.
Sam manipulated and played around with these clan leaders like they are little kids.
He played them around. Made them run, made them hide, made them fight each other, made them cautious. Made it so that they had to make alliances and betray them.
Things went along like this in the next couple of days.
On the third day at noon. Sam stood on top of a dune as he took in the warm sun.
“This place is extremely good. The weather is perfect throughout the day. This is great for a picnic don’t you think?”
Sam asked as he looked at Maya who is standing below the dune.
She looked at Sam while holding a child in her hands. Meanwhile, the rest of the kids are currently inside one of the divine dimension fragments mostly taking nap and one of them playing with the virtual projection.
Maya looked at her child in her hands with tears welling up in her eyes. It is her sixth child. She is so lost in holding her child in her arms after so long, she didn’t even bother with the smell of blood, burnt flesh, and all the death around her.
The sixth child was procured with the same tactics Sam used before. He looked around and watched the destruction he caused.
The number of people who died in this clan is more than the first two. Since the clan leaders learned that Sam is killing more and more people, they gathered all of their forces to guard their home.
But this time, it only resulted in the deaths of more people.
At this moment, he turned towards a pile of rubble. A young man broke through the rubble. He held a staff in his hand and all of his body is completely covered in wounds.
Sam looked at him and smiled.
“I hope you didn’t get your ass beat too bad. Can you walk?”
Akhil looked at Sam and sighed.
“Why the fuck are you so strong all of a sudden? What is happening in your hell?”
“Why is everyone saying that? I almost got my ass kicked back in hell. I feel like my strength is growing very linearly.”
“Of course you are going to fucking say that. Weirdo. I am leaving. Take care of that child. I don’t think they can stay here for long, they might have to move out of the realm. After all, with one more child the task will be over. It will be troublesome after we leave.”
With that Akhil left without waiting for Sam’s reply.
