Chapter 1249: Escape
Sam just stood there calmly. He didn't even bother to speak. Butler Si, set the teammates free. Sam wanted to throw the lightning divine dimension to them, but all of a sudden, he stopped as he thought of something.
He looked at the team and said.
"Get back to the headquarters, don't worry about me. I will be coming back."
"But Boss…"
"I said, I will be coming back. Since when did you guys start questioning my judgment? You seemed to have grown some extra brains while I was talking here."
Sam spoke in a harsh tone. He is clearly pissed and he doesn't want his team to second guess him at the moment. He knew they would be upset and angry at themselves and him for not putting up a fight, but what they don't know is that he is planning on putting up a fight. But not just some short and futile one.
He has killed everyone that wanted his things and now someone is directly asking for his whole body and soul. He wouldn't let him off the hook no matter what. But the only difference is that Sam would let this guy enjoy what he asked for.
After they were sent away, Sam just extended his arms and awaited the procedure to be done.
"I am really liking you more and more," Sivan said with a smile.
"You wouldn't do that for a long time don't worry."
Sivan didn't mind his words. He believed in logical facts, not some emotional threats and statements. He just gestured for the people behind him and they started drawing a large inscription circle for the ritual that is about to happen.
Even while they are doing that, Sam kept on trying to use different bloodline arts and the one that he is trying the most is the shadow transverse. Since he already had his organs upgraded because of the shadow element, it is a great escape method that uses a very small amount of energy.
But to his dismay, he wasn't able to use this.
So, he moved on as he tried the bloodline arts of other beasts. Raiju's attacks are useless too and then he went on to use Dia's and then forest bear's. None of them showed any reaction other than the Butler Si, having a weird expression on his face.
Sam finally had only one option to choose from and that is the Void hopper. The Void hopper is a very special beast and Sam really didn't understand the significance much as he barely used space element in his fights and that is when he even fights these days.
But that day, Sam understood the significance of it, but not just the normal significance, but also something else in the middle of the procedure.
He wanted to use the bloodline ability of the Void hopper and this time, it finally had a bit of reaction.
Butler Si, suddenly grew vigilant as he looked at Sam.
"Sir Sam. Please make my job easier, so that I don't need to hurt you later."
Sam just smiled and didn't reply.
Soon, the time came for the procedure. After the large inscription circle was gone, Sam and Sivan sat in the middle of it facing each other.
Sivan started making hand signs quickly as he channeled the energy from the circle.
Sam could feel the energy entering his head.
He closed his eyes and looked into his sea of consciousness to see the energy condensing into another sea of consciousness as it replicated the first one.
The process went on for four hours. By the end of it, Sam had two similar seas of consciousness inside the body and he could feel one being dormant and the other being active.
He manifested consciousness into soul forms. Two silhouettes similar to his formed inside his head and one of them is active, while the other looked like it was sleeping while standing.
The first one moved to the second and placed its arm on its face.
Sam flinched a bit, but for a moment and the first took off the arm, but the very next second, he placed the arm once again as Sam rapidly thought.
All of a sudden, the second dormant silhouette started glowing even more. It normally looked like a condensation of the light and now it is glowing and at the same time, the light seemed to have shifted a bit and rearranged back into its original state.
At this moment, Sam's original soul, the active one felt a suction force. Within that space in his mind, something similar to a portal appeared as it sucked the first soul out and when Sam regained his senses back, he is in a similar space, but what awaited in front of him is a dormant soul replica of Sivan.
It is unlike Sam's that majestically stood while sleeping, this one is crouching on the ground as it huddled its limbs.
He touched the soul and tried to communicate, but it is impossible to do so, he felt an extreme resistance.
Meanwhile, the situation inside Sam's original head is not exactly bad. He looked at Sam's dormant soul with great excitement. He wanted to absorb it right at the moment so that he could live his life normally with great power.
But at this moment something happened.
Sam who is inside Sivan's body opened his eyes and he still felt a faint connection with his original body. Even though most of it has to do with the last thing he did with his soul, it is going to work.
Sivan wanted to open his eyes and explore his new body, but all of a sudden, he felt a sudden change.
The Dormant Soul which shouldn't have been active at all, suddenly moved even with his eyes closed, and all of a sudden, Sivan felt a soul-searing pain as his soul form held its head involuntarily.
The Ghost Chimera appeared out of the Dormant body as it created a certain lock all over the dormant soul, but only one small piece of the soul was left outside of the lock and that piece was actually severed.
While Sivan was feeling the pain, the piece of soul manifested and went directly into the Lightning divine dimension and hit Philip's head.
But that is not the end of it.
The Void hopper's bloodline started churning and this time, Butler Si doesn't know what to do. He has half a mind to stop him, but Sam who is already in Sivan's body said.
"Are you sure, you want to stop him? It is your master after all. It is his doing."
His words worked as Butler Si, didn't dare to use force on the young master.
But what he doesn't know is that his young master desperately wants him to use that locking technique to make the body powerless for a moment.
The sudden attack of the Ghost Chimera made him unable to even take over the body much less use the attack.
At this moment, Sam's body changes. All of a sudden, his right hand that had lightning and ice divine dimension rings along with two more spatial rings, had a transference scroll in it and it was activated. Spatial energy riled up as the arm was cut off cleanly at the elbow and it disappeared along with the transference scroll.
His teammates used the transference scrolls to return after they were given a green light and at this moment they are in the process of destroying their presence there, but all of a sudden, the node activated and the arm appeared out of nowhere.
Before they could react, Sam's friends, Sia and Gran, Kiran, and all of them appeared out of it with gloomy expressions.
Meanwhile, back in the City of Desert.
Butler Si, was dumbfounded when the arm disappeared, but before he could react everything happened. Since it was his young master's new body, his focus was completely on Sam, which made him unable to react on time.
He looked at Sam in Sivan's original body and threatened.
"What is happening?"
"Whatever it is happening, don't worry, your young master will survive. He just underestimated me a bit, that is all. My soul has a lot more to offer than he thinks and it is a lot harder to obtain it just because of the duplicate he created.
Tell him later, that I would definitely come looking for him and take that body back."
Butler Si had a bad feeling about this, but all of a sudden Sam's original body moved its left hand and palmed Sivan's original body in the chest.
This time Butler Si, is ready and he used his spatial lock to block the energy, but all of a sudden, his movements became slower. Not just his movements, even his thoughts became slower. Before he could even comprehend what is happening in front of him which looked like it was happening in a flash, the palm landed on Sivan's original body and a spatial vortex appeared before it swallowed Sam with his new body.
