Sam sat up once again and wiped the blood off of his mouth.
He sat there in ditation, but his body is still deteriorating. As Sandhya was thinking, one of the clan leaders couldn't hold it in and made a move.
Sandhya felt the chill from the attack and imdiately let Sam's hand go and instinctually stepped away from there. She felt regretful the next mont.
As soon as she let go of Sam's hand, Sam's body changed. The purple shade lost and he is back to his full health. He took out reaper sword and blocked the attack while still sitting there.
Priestess who saw the whole scene, smiled wryly.
She understood what Sam did from the start. She knew he is immune to almost all poisons in the world. This planet might be of a decently high level, but the poisons here could jack shit to him. The clan leaders are in for sothing new altogether.
Sam looked at Sandhya who stood there frozen as Sam stood up calmly.
"See Sandhya, you asked what would the consequences be. This just a glimpse into it. The way I act, I attract a lot of enemies who want to kill and I have riches of all kinds. Land, spirit stones, blueprints, techniques. Anything you could think of, I have all kinds and these riches even turn allies into enemies most of the tis.
And many people are willing to offer anything to kill and that 'anything' can turn anyone into my enemy in an instant.
For the past few days, I have worked my ass off, used all kinds of tricks and treasures to save the lives of these ten clans. Just yesterday, they were hailing for getting past these disasters, but by the crack of dawn, there are already people trying to kill .
Right in front of you, there are seven clan leaders holding their weapons at .
That is my situation almost every single day.
As soon as I show weakness, there are countless people who are ready to backstab , kill and destroy . I might be on verge of death on any second.
And even those tis, my people should never let go of my hand. Even when the blade of the enemy broke the outermost layer of my skin and the blood already started dripping, my people should still believe in or they should die fighting along with .
You have known these clan leaders all your life.
They are even afraid of you, but you are unable to deal with them, to save . You have let go as soon as they made their move.
It is easy to admire and follow , when I am at my absolute best. It easy to say that you are loyal to soone, when both of you are sitting in a room, enjoying special food and luxury wine.
I want soone who is loyal to even when I in the maws of death. And that is the reason you cannot follow . I don't need admiration from a person like you. I won't even have you as a foot soldier in my troops. Much less a prospective life partner.
I hope you understand."
Sam stood straight like a flag pole and all the clan leaders that ca to attack him took a step back.
He looked at them with a condenscending smirk and said.
"I feel insulted more than threatened by your attack.
How dare you even think that you can kill with so re poison. I challenge gods on a daily basis and you re mortals thought you could kill with so poison that you could find on your backwater planet?
And you dare to pine for my head with such lousy judgent?
If not for the task, I would have killed you just for thinking that.
Underestimating is one thing, but this is way below the bar.
As Sam spoke, he disappeared with spatial energy and left the estate.
He took off on harbinger and moved towards the Mountain Temple.
Priestess appeared beside her daughter and looked at the clan leaders.
"You guys should have just stuck with the plans for celebrations. In a way, you just tried to make your original fate into reality. After all, you are tempted by an Olympian god and tried to kill this guy. You failed and made your intentions known.
If he retaliates, you will be faced with a disaster that might be more dangerous than the ones you faced until now. After all, this guy knows every nook and cranny of your cities. Imagine how much damage he can do?
Just pray that he will hold back."
She took off with her daughter.
After two hours.
Sam is sitting on a mountain rock as he enjoyed the sun rise. He is a bit tired of all this shit. He was not really interested in this ga anymore, but he cannot let go of it now. He is very close to the end. He can already vaguely sense it.
The ti he cos face to face with gods, is very very close. He cannot give up now.
But in the past month, he has to do many things out of his character for this ga.
He had to suppress himself from taking revenge on soone who spoiled his plans. He had to break his own word and help these assholes after he said that he wouldn't. This is not how he is used to doing things.
But he had to do it.
This is making him very frustrated to say the least.
As he sat there calmly, Priestess appeared.
"Your task runs for another ten days including today. Only after these ten days, would you be able to complete the task. If people die in this period of them, they will be counted in your death toll."
"I guessed as much."
Sam said as he sighed.
"I am sorry about Sandhya."
"Never mind. She is way too young to not experience these things and way too old for you to co and apologize in her stead. I already made myself clear. I am sure she wouldn't co and look for ."
"I must say, you were too harsh on her though. You could have cushioned the blow a little bit."
"Sothings are better done decisively."
"Anyway, I would like to ask you a favor. Can you help my daughter get out of this planet? I don't want her to be alone. I am not asking you to accompany her, but I am sure you have ways."
"I have an organization called Dusk. I can send her there if you want to."
"That would work. As long as she has so freedom to explore, but a branch to fall back on, it is fine."
"Sure, I will tell the staff to employ her in so free position. She would have so responsibilities, but they would be mostly small and feeble. She could get used to the world and leave whenever she wants."
"Thank you. I will let her know."
"I will arrange the transport."
"Thanks again.
What are you going to do for the next ten days?"
"Prepare for payback. Before that, I need to talk to Karthikeya, can you tell if you can contact him?"
"Right now, there is so interference. I will let you know as soon as it is cleared."
After that, the priestess left on her own way, anwhile Sam sat there for a while and then jumped off the mountain. He took off on harbinger and travelled a few miles. He is very close to one of the clans that attacked him a couple of hours ago.
He didn't go to the city to attack them, instead he waved his hand a large tower like structure appeared. It is one of the towers that is used for attacking. It was actually an equipnt made by Sivan, but it was only half finished and Sam decided to modify it for Divine Plane cultivators.
He installed that tower there.
The tower has red glow and patters and it looked like a giant pillar rather than tower. There are no entry points, no openings nothing, it is indeed more of a pillar than a tower.
After that, he started checking the surroundings a bit and set up a formation. It took him an hour or so to finish it off.
Then he moved to a different location within the vicinity, a mile away and placed another tower there along with the formation. Of course, so people noticed him, but they don't know full story of what happened. So, they just felt like Sam is working on sothing again for the city.
Still the news spread, albeit a bit slowly and it soon reached the clan leaders who are still in the valley.
They are already in a tense situation. When they heard that Sam is setting up sothing, their hearts slipped into their pants. They imdiately made their way back to their own cities.
