Chapter 1476 - Fifteen Days
Chapter 1476 - Fifteen Days
Days passed.
Fifteen days later.
The whole city is changing its shape. Sam has led one of the fastest construction the Gaja clan has ever seen and the whole city along with the estate is part of it.
The citizens are slowly moving out as they got their residences sorted out.
Sam took the same approach he did in his own city. He made all the residences in large apartment complexes where people could live. These complexes are around the clan estate.
Being very close to the clan, the residents are also more assured. The rest of the city is still undergoing reconstruction. But many places are ready to go.
Within the city apart from what looked like regular buildings. There are twelve new buildings that popped up.
They are structural domes and all twelve of them are part of the new additions and in fact some of the core structures of all the city's security.
Within these domes, very few people are working and six different artisans are placed as in charge for two domes each.
They got the blueprint and the mechanisms by heart. Even though they still couldn't understand how the whole thing works and why it is working like that, they can at least be sure of what the structure of it is and they can make all those structural repairs if needed.
Meanwhile, Grivon's experts are kept in charge of everything else that happens within the domes.
They don't operate much and they don't care about the regular structural maintenance of the domes, instead, they are kept in charge of the internal functions of the domes.
The internal functions of the dome are to act as defensive and offensive measures when the enemy strikes, apart from that they also act as factories for some special products Sam designed.
These products are secondary outputs of these domes and they can be sold through the draconic tribe's trade deal and also be used in setting up defensive traps for the city.
Sam who is supervising the whole project was really surprised by the speed that this whole thing went on.
With his presence for the past few months, Grivon's and Giyon's artisans, formation masters and inscription masters learned a lot from him.
They are all using many of his techniques to speed up the construction process. Along with that, Sam's assistants that are given by the Gaja clan's leader are also working well after the incident with Gail.
They didn't dare to go against Sam and they didn't dare to have any ideas behind his back.
The construction of the whole thing is going faster than Sam has thought.
At this rate, there is only a little more than two months and he would be back with his life once again.
While the construction is going on full swing, Sam is also doing something else.
Every day, he obtained new corpses and his spectre who has been idling a lot for the past few months finally started working as hard as Sam.
It started collecting as many souls as it could from the deadbodies that are brought back.
And luckily due to the undying curiosity of the Gaja clan's enemies they are getting a lot of spies that are trying different methods to see what the Gaja clan is doing and they are leaving behind many souls and dead bodies.
Along with that, Sam is also getting a lot of poisonous things and he is concocting some major poison in a large building within the estate.
In fact, after looking at the scale of his operation, the Clan leader got afraid and offered a stray realm for the poison concoction. But Sam rejected him as it is impossible to move in the middle.
Right beside the room, the spectre is focusing on working with the corpses. The first thing it did is to find the souls if there are any left and collect them if they are strong enough or direct absorb them if they are not.
After that, it starts refining the corpses with the cursed formations that Sam made it lay down.
The refining process consists of three stages. The first one is tempering the corpse with curses.
These are the only curses that do not show any direct negative effect. The corpse would be used as a vessel to dissolve all of these courses together.
They would be stored passively within every cell of the body.
After that was done, the second step is to make the corpse with a special undying curse and make it into an undead creature.
The third step is to create a cursed formation within the internals of the corpse.
This formation constantly generates some specific curses with the energy the corpse absorbs from the victims and these formations are operated by the spirits.
They also give instructions to the undead creature, controlling its actions in a way.
These spirits are connected to one of the towers that are currently under construction within the clan estate.
There would be a bunch of operators within the tower who would be able to give instructions to these corpses.
The undead creatures will be loaded with various curse attacks because of the formations within them and they also formations that support their recovery with the help of vitality they can absorb from their victims.
These creatures are controllable, doesn't know any fear, have curses and the best feature is actually the result of the first refining operation.
When these creatures fall, because of all the formations messing up or all the limbs are completely unmoved, the curses that are dissolved within the body will explode.
If the attacker is within the range, all of these curses will attack them and the spirits that are now strays will attack them to the best of their abilities before they dissipate.
These are going to be the foot soldiers for the Gaja clan in the near future.
While the corpse collection is working. The other thing that is going on is the beast army preparation. Sam started training the beasts himself. That is the only relaxing time he is having and along with that, he also started designing armours for the beasts.
Things are going extremely well within the clan. Of course, this is also garnering more and more attention from the enemies, they are extremely afraid and eager to know what the Gaja clan is doing now and since Gail, Gamin and Yuvana are picking one bone at a time within different organizations one after the other, they are getting restless.
In fact, Sam even got a few corpses that he is planning something special.
The Gaja clan members are doing their best to make sure that the enemies won't get any information on what they are doing.
So, even this situation is manageable now.
But there is one situation that only got worse with time.
The Sonic cat.
After the day that the whole bone ash crystal symbiote was removed, the sonic cat became dull. Even though the symbiote is its enemy, it has grown attached to the fighting it could do every day and now it lost it.
The only exciting time it is having is when Gail visited it over the days.
But he couldn't go there every day. It is almost taking a whole day away and with the clan's situation, he is doing the visits less and less.
He only managed to visit the beast for six times in the fifteen days.
Now he just returned from his seventh visit and he directly went to Sam.
"Sonic cat is getting sadder. It is not even interested in fighting today. It almost let me win by itself and only after I called out on it, did it retaliates.
What do you think is happening?"
"What else? It is seeking companionship. It is trying to find a way to entertain itself and keep itself busy. After all, we indeed took the one thing that it could pleasure on every day."
"Then why did it even let us take it down in the first place."
"because the cat knows that the symbiote cannot be contained within that cave and it should go. The probable danger might even have kept the beast on its toes."
"So, is there anything we can do to make the cat normal again? If it goes like this, there is no point in visiting it."
"Of course, bring it here or you stay there. Either works."
"I can't stay there. But I tried to invite it here. But it seems like it doesn't want.
It is very upset about it."
"Of course, your invitation is meant as a servitude contract. That is what beasts think whenever a cultivator asks them. Rather you need to offer a true companionship. You need to offer an equal contract."
"Are you sure it works?"
"Try it, if it doesn't you can try something else. Anyway, I only have three things left to give the cat and we need to reserve two of them to tempt it to fight for us in the battle. You only have one charm left. use it wisely.. The rest is in your hands."
