Chapter 1177: Crossing the City

As soon as they left, Sam started placing formation nodes in different spots within the creek. The nodes are made with normal formation flags instead of the liquid energy cells.

He used the shadow elemental energy to move around to place them as fast as he can.

After he was done with it, he came out of the creek and went back to the path as he slowly walked to the city in a black cloak. All three tokens are in his hand. As he neared the city gate and the guards are about to search him, he crushed a token in his hand.

*BOOM* *BOOM*

The formations he set up started exploding at the very instant.

He made his move and took a dagger. Black smoke surrounded his body as he slit the throats of the guards one by one, taking advantage of the shock caused by the explosion.

He didn’t bother hiding his presence and waited for the guards to come at him and he just went on a killing spree. Every stab was being made to kill and he killed ten guards in an instant and eight beasts followed them by the two more beasts barely staying alive.

At this moment, a flashy red light appeared in the sky.

Sam looked at the guard chief who is the only one standing along with his beast. The beast is of a dark elemental bear type. Sam looked at him calmly. Only his eyes are visible and the guard chief looked straight at them and asked.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

Sam didn’t speak and directly went after the guy. The bear took the chance and came at Sam from behind, just before Sam and the guard chief were about to clash, he suddenly dissolved into his shadow and moved through the legs of the bear and appeared behind it.

He used his dagger to cut the back of the bear as he jumped upwards with all his strength.

*ROAR*

The bear roared in pain and the guard chief was stunned. He ran forward and attacked Sam from the side, but he once again used his shadow ability to disappear and attacked the bear and this time with a stab on its neck and he stood on its shoulder as it tried to get rid of him.

The guard chief held his sword as he ran after the bear and tried to attack Sam, but he was unable to catch him.

Because Sam started moving around the bear’s body as he stabbed it on different parts while escaping the guard chief’s attacks.

The guard chief didn’t dare to attack too rashly as the bear might die.

But from the looks of it, even if he didn’t attack it would definitely die sooner or later.

He still hoped that he would be able to save it when the other guards arrived. But what he doesn’t know is something else is happening in the city and the guards would be busy there dealing with that trouble.

They wouldn’t be able to help him no matter how much they tried.

As the frustrated guard chief wanted to get rid of Sam even at the cost of the bear, Sam suddenly left the bear and jumped at the guard chief.

He slashed at the shoulder and slipped into the shadow before leaving another slash on the leg.

Before he could react, he once again clung to the bear.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

Along with him, there is a man who is barely alive with a lot of injuries.

Sam looked at them and let Sky out without explaining anything. The three of them boarded Sky and left the spot as they followed the path at a rapid pace along with the guard chief.

"Who is he?" Noah asked as she looked at the guard chief.

Currently, the guard chief is in a state where he is completely unrecognizable.

Every inch of his body is covered with the shadow elemental energy corroding it. The injuries have also seeped with shadow elemental energy and it is eating away at his flesh and bones.

"The guard chief at the entrance."

"Are you sure?" Kumar asked with a raised eyebrow. The guard chief looked nothing like himself.

"It is him."

Sam said as he finished off the guard chief and extracted the memory.

"He is too good of a memory source to leave him there. So, I just brought him with me."

Sam spoke as he gave the tokens to them and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Now, let us finish the traps as fast as possible. It is only a matter of time before they started searching for us along this path. We need to be done by evening and by night we go back and attack the city."

While Sam, Noah, and Kumar are discussing their plans, in the Farm town in which they got their first harvest of contribution points, a young lady is currently holding a meeting with the farmers of the town.

In the same conference room in which the Inner disciple put on a show for the farmers about the so-called threat, she is looking at all the farmers as they heard their rants.

If possible, she just wanted to kill all of them and be done with it. And if not for the elder sitting beside her, she would have done exactly that.

After the farmers are done with their rant, she stood up and bowed to them.

"I apologize for the grievances you suffered because of the incompetence of our disciple and the Myriad beast sect will compensate for your losses and I can vouch for that on my personal honor.

We request you to not leave the farm town because of this incident. We will provide extra benefits as compensation for you..."

She went on for a few minutes and finally appeased the farmers before sending them away.

*BAM* *CRASH*

As soon as they left, she slammed his fist into the stone table which turned into rubble.

She looked at the administrators that arrived and said.

"Tell me everything regarding the incident from the start to finish. Whatever minute detail you know."
