Chapter 944: Next Target
Lonava's face turned red in anger as she heard Sam's words and when he proceeded to ignore her presence and started eating, she became even more frustrated.
"How dare you ignore me? Do you know who I am?"
"Yeah, Disciple of some great healer Vardar.
I am in a decently good mood today, So, I will take some of time to advice you.
No matter how I look at it, the greatness in that sentence revolved around Vardar. Don't you have any sense of identity or being his disciple is the only thing you have worth mentioning about yourself.
From the looks of it, you are around fifty years old. Which means, you are decently talented and all you can speak about yourself is being his disciple. You should seriously do something with your life. Something that could make feel secure enough to announce your name and demand respect for who you are than what you are to someone.
If you have that kind of identity, come and find me and I will spare my time to talk to you.
As for what you are asking me now, it is not some secret technique and even if it is what grounds do you have to ask me something that is useful for my healing abilities? Would your teacher Vardar just gives away his techniques for money?"
Sam said as he munched on the food. Like he said, he was in a good mood and doesn't want to spoil it by fighting or arguing. He also decided to let a deluded help a deluded youngster with some advice.
But only if he knew, it is more of an insult than an advice. Basically, he is saying that there is nothing to Lonava's identity than being a disciple of that Vardar guy or whatever his name is.
Lonava couldn't even bring herself to say a few words in retort. Because whatever Sam said happened to be true. But she needs something to return.
"I don't care what you think of me. But I need your secret technique. So, will you give it to me or not."
By now, Sam got tired of her constant pestering. It is already out of norm for him to give advice to some passerby. In fact it is generous of him. If she doesn't take it, then it is her loss.
For the rest of the banquet, he focused on enjoying the food with all his concentration and after the banquet was over, he finally got some peace.
"So, what is your next Plan Sam? Where are we going next?"
The Five-elemental King asked as he drank some wine.
"I couldn't decide where to go. Do you have any recommendations?"
With that Sam opened the scroll with the names of ten people Agar gave him and asked the Five elemental King.
"You are planning to recruit all of these guys?"
"Of course, why not?"
Five elemental King was surprised, but he didn't say much and looked through the list.
"I know some of these guys. I met them in some of my adventures in different realms. They are all hard nuts to crack and you would need to spend a lot of effort to recruit them.
But if I have to suggest, the person that is most probably easily recruited is this guy."
He said as he pointed at one of the names.
"He is not living the same location as the one shown in this scroll. That was the last location that he was spotted.
A year ago, right before I sealed myself here, he was sealed in a place by someone from a higher realm."
Sam looked at the name and was surprised.
This guy is a Peak stage Astral Plane Pre-transcendent stage cultivator and someone must be at least an Astral Plane Transcendent cultivator at middle-stage.
"Who managed to seal him? How did he piss such a person off?"
"No, it is not an individual actually. It is a whole younger generation from a family of higher realms and they collaborated with a bunch of organizations in his realm to seal him inside.
He pissed off too many people as he is kind of a womanizer. He slept with wives of a bunch of powerful people and didn't hesitate to rub it in their faces and the one time he fell in love, it is from a young lady of higher organization. But she was already engaged and her groom-to-be, came with a bunch of his friends and tried to kill him.
But this guy is a real fiend when fighting. His body is a bit different from normal and regenerates quickly. He looks like a human, but I am sure he is not purely human. He is of a different race.
But no one asked or cared. But this gave him an edge over normal soldiers. When his opponents realized that they cannot kill him, they decided to seal him instead.
They created a perfect trap with the woman he loved and used some higherlevel formations to set up a maze. The maze is conscious and is a result of bunch of formations that are linked together. The spirit of the maze is to let one enter it but stop them from returning back.
The nodes of the formation are actually spiritual energy mines. The veins of the mines that are responsible for generating the spirit stones are solely used to power this formation.
There is not a single spirit stone that was produced for a month in any of those mines.
The organizations that helped in the sealing were rewarded and they guard the maze from anyone who wants to unlock it. But they were obviously not strong enough to stop everyone and some tried to get in there to the unlock the maze and gain the favor of this Saber Monarch.
But to his misfortune, he was stuck inside the maze along with the Saber Monarch and from what knew, he committed suicide as he couldn't take the mental torture."
"How did the news come out if the Maze is sealed?"
"That is the Saber Monarch's doing. Every now and then he would make a small hole in the maze and he would send a message through a scroll from it to the families and organizations that sealed him in.
Sometimes the scrolls would even have his sealed saber attacks.
He didn't want his presence gone unknown and over the months, the holes he could make became bigger and bigger, but they heal too fast for him to leave and the formation obstructs him too much when a hole appears, but the scroll could be sent outside."
"This guy must be holding some serious grudge if he is desperate enough to not let them forget his presence. He wants them to stay in fear of his return and once he does that, he would he would be giving some serious trouble to people."
"That is for sure. Even though he is a difficult guy, as far as I know he is the only one desperate enough for you to help him and have more chances for you to recruit him. The rest will be tougher nuts to crack and takes more time than usual."
Sam nodded in agreement and asked.
"Can you give me the details of the organizations that are involved in this whole scenario? I might be able to create some distraction, even if it is the slightest one. I am pretty sure we could use on as they organizations are surely focused on the maze. Things would become a bit easier for us."
"Of course."
And then Sam started discussing all the organizations that are involved along with the Five elemental King.
There are three main organizations involved out of which two are something he could find on the list of the organizations they had to mess with.
One of them belongs to Zeus and the another one to Indra. Both lightning organizations. He then looked at the list to see which organizations rest of the players are currently targeting and in particular he looked for Noah and Akhil.
After confirming the organizations they are fighting with, and noting that one of them is even closer to his location, he decided to make a visit and his first choice is to visit Noah.
She is currently targeting an organization under Kartikeya. Even though they don't have enmity, it is all part of the game.
And when he arrived in front of her she is shocked and immediately checked the list.
"You didn't target the same organization as me, then why are you here? Don't tell me, you are planning to do that now?"
She didn't even ask anything. No pleasantries, no nothing, she directly accused him of stealing her prey.
"I am not here for the organization. Anyway, I already cast a net wide open, you should have already realized by now."
"Yeah, I am seeing it in the list. You are finishing them off at least four times faster than us. I should have started an organization too with some proper subordinates."
"Arkiv said the same thing. Anyway, I have a deal do you want to take it?"
