Silva was devastated as he looked at his daughter. He doesn't know what to do.
After some time, he got his hands back and ran towards the statue of the Goddess Nike.
He gave a slash on his palm and let the blood fall on the feet of the statue, then he used his finger to draw some runes on the feet.
Soon, the statue was enveloped with a golden glow and a female voice could be heard.
"Head of the Silva family? What do you want?"
"Goddess Nike, your humble servant greets you. As we are trying to do what you ordered, my daughter was attacked by Sam with something that I cannot understand, she is on the verge of life and death at the moment as we speak.
I beg you to save her."
"Where is she?"
"She is inside the Golden water pool."
The Golden glow of the statue disappeared and Silva ran back into the secret room.
Inside the room, apart from the golden pool, there are some statues and architectures and among them, there is a statue of Nike.
The statue is now surrounded by the golden light and the same light fell on Grace who is still in the pool.
"Undying flames? Did Sam do it?" Nike asked.
"Yes."
The goddess went silent for a moment.
"Keep her in the pool for now. If I was there directly, it would have been easy for me to deal with this, but I cannot physically be there, so I have to think of other ways. I will see if there is any other method."
"I thank you my goddess."
"How are you dealing with them?"
Silva was ashamed a bit and explained everything that has happened.
"This human is just like the god he associated with. Both don't know what their place is at. But stay put for now. If consummate stage cultivators got involved, there would be a lot of nonsense for us to deal with.
You have already sent transcendent stage cultivators, if they couldn't even catch him, then it would be a waste of their cultivation. Tell them to work hard."
With that the golden glow disappeared.
Silva is looking at his daughter with concern. He just sat beside the pool not caring about what is happening outside.
The grey winged elder who is also Silva's younger brother came back and reported.
"Brother, the four undead creatures are dealt with, we managed to defend them before there were many casualties, but there is damage to the city wall."
"Do any of you managed to reach anywhere near to catch Sam?"
"No."
"Try to catch them as soon as possible. We shouldn't have let them get together. Now they will only be pain in the ass. Tighten the city defense. Don't let him cause anymore chaos.
Ask all the citizens to abandon their homes and come to outer shelter in the temple building. All the Pre-transcendent and transcendent stage cultivators are going to be drafted into the forces temporarily. Pass the orders under my name.
We still don't know how this grey flames work, but from the looks of it, it takes the vitality away without stopping, if the people caught it, it would be difficult to cure. So, tell them to stay within the temple grounds."
"Yes brother."
"You have to handle all the affairs, I wouldn't be joining you guys."
While the feathered are preparing for searching Sam and catching him at all costs, Sam is also executing plans that could make the task easier.
He has a new weapon at the disposal.
It is a large gun or cannon that has square cross section and shoots spikes.
Sam has around ten of these undying volcanic stones at the moment and he made four of them into guns. These gun are carried by eight Wight and Ghoul pairs.
They are incharge of attacking individuals.
The gun is made in such a way that the spikes will be shot with the help of loaded biofuel and they will catch the grey flame before they were launched.
Out of remaining six, he kept two of them within the divine dimension just in case and the remaining four are made into some weapons that are really useful mass destruction.
They are actually based off of the impact cannons. But impact cannons needs to have a proper distance and angle settings to have the proper impact of the shell which fails them to achieve a rapid attack over the moving enemy.
But now this doesn't have to. Sam modified the impact cannon into a normal boulder cannon which shoots the rocks covered in grey flames.
The wights and ghouls are given the operation. Then he let out the Orangutans, the Minotaurs, the shadow soldiers. He called all of them out for the war including his beasts.
It is about time, he moved to another city. There he would be having more trouble. He would have to find a way to get another weapon fragment.
Sam stationed all his forces in different positions. The main equipment is the projectile weapons that are using the grey flames. Their target is not even the inner city, they are focusing mostly on the city walls.
When the grey winged elder found this, he was shocked. He just took orders from his brother and wanted to send a search party at Sam. He didn't even finish announcing the order of his brother and here is Sam who already started the attack.
This caused him to feel a bit frustrated. He ordered the soldiers to maintain the defense line properly and went to the get the elders to work.
He passed all the orders and made two elders in charge of the recruitment of the temporary soldiers and took the rest of the elders to take a look at the city wall.
Sam's forces are not exactly strong and they are severely outnumbered, but they have one advantage the trees in the forest are huge and his equipment can be moved easily. Sam hid along with Arkiv and kept his eye on the crystal table as he instructed his troops that are having the guns and cannons that could shoot the grey spikes.
The only things or forces that came out in the open to attack them are the undead creatures that are created by Wights and Ghouls.
While the Orangutans teamed up with some Wights to get a job done. They are the only creatures that could do this without dying, so he sent them.
After the initial attacks by the undead to the walls, Sam gave orders.
The wights and ghouls operating the guns and cannons started their attacks.
Their first target is obviously the city wall and the people on the city wall.
If they attack it long enough, Sam is sure that the wall will collapse easily.
They don't have another Sam on the other side to think that a flame that is used to eat the vitality can corrode it, they are too busy caring about their own lives.
As soon as the attacks started, the feathered also went into action.
They followed the trajectory of the spikes and rocks and started looking for them. But Sam checked who is coming from what direction and gave instructions to his members.
It became a wild goose chase.
Soon, the transcendent stage feathered are coming out and Sam had some special gifts planned for them.
He started finishing off the feathered that were supposed to go away in the exchange and turned them into undead. He didn't make them loose undead with no control, he controlled them properly and started placing the energy cells inside their bodies.
Now, he went looking for the first transcendent that is closest to him in the map all the while making sure that everyone else is escaping.
When he was within the visible range of the transcendent, he deliberately gave his location away after taking the undead out. He created a false image that the undead is attacking him and both of them are in a battle.
This caused the Transcendent to make his move without a second thought.
When he reached the spot, the feathered undead hugged him tightly after Sam placed his palm on it for a good few seconds.
Sam used the top speed of harbinger to escape from the place in the second.
*BOOM*
The sound of the explosion was heard all over the surroundings and the transcendent stage feathered came flying in that direction, but Sam is nowhere to be seen in that place, all they saw is some flesh and mangled wings of two different color.
Meanwhile, Sam is hiding far away as he looked out in the crystal table to choose the next target.
While he is looking through it he saw feathered on the wall turning into undead creatures due to the golden flame and an internal fight began.
The situation is as chaotic as he wanted it to be and it continued to grow chaotic.
He has to make sure that he chip away as many feathered as possible and make the enemy weaker.
