Chapter 523: General
Sam hit the hammer on the metal spike with all his strength and it nailed the hand to the ground.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…"
A scream of agony made all the soldiers shiver in fright.
Sam didn't stop there. He almost behaving as if he was working on a stone. He first nailed the hands and the young Naga turned into his true form that made the legs morph into a large tail.
But Sam didn't stop and nailed down the tail in various places. Even found a hole on the tail that was hidden in the middle of scales and shoved a red hot metal spike in it. That is the anus.
The young Naga has no way to move at this moment and only cried in agony.
But Sam proceeded with his work nonchalantly.
He started nailing the spikes on various places of the body. If it was on hands or the tail, he just nailed them to the ground, but it was not he would only hammer them a little deep into the flesh and leave it like that.
At this moment, the artisans who used to work near the formation furnace came and looked at what Sam is doing.
They haven't been able to work here because of Sam's punishment, now that they came back to prepare for the war that is around the corner and finish their delayed works, they were stumped by the scene in front of them.
When they saw Sam nailing the metal spikes, they know what he is doing.
"He couldn't be doing what I think he is doing right?"
One of them asked his colleague.
The colleague gulped and said in a shivering voice.
"I think he is doing the same. That much expertise and the regiment commander has turned him into that crazed state. What a pity.
But why do I feel the pattern is a bit different?"
As many of them are taking like that, Sam only had one spike left in his hands, he stood up and took out a whole heap of fire elemental stones and poured them all over the commander's son. The commander is an ice element user and he felt a bit aversive to these spiritual stones.
But he doesn't know that he would feel more than just aversion in a few seconds.
After pouring the fire elemental energy, Sam held the last spike in his hands and jabbed it into the waist of this young Naga, and took a step back.
All of a sudden, the fire elemental energy of the elemental stones started circulating and the young man started feeling the temperature rise.
"Somebody help me. Help me take this off.
You all know who my father is, he will never let you off if you don't defend me.
I am begging you, someone help me.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhh, someone aaaaahhhhhhhhh.
FAAAAAAAATHEEERRR."
The young naga started with some threats and requests and was soon reduced to the state of incessant screaming with pain and agony that made the souls of people shiver.
The reason is that there is a 'furnace' burning his body up.
Sam jabbed the metal spikes into his body all over, but everything was done below his neck. He didn't even touch a strand of his hair.
But below the neck, there is a furnace formation working in its full glory.
That is right, Sam made the metal spikes and used them as formation flags along with the fire elemental energy stones to use the body itself as the base for the formation and left him to endure the suffering of the flames.
Its heat is not as big as the original furnace formation and the effect wouldn't be as great as Sam's punishment.
But Sam's use for this is way beyond the physical pain.
The main core of the furnace formation, wouldn't stay within the nodes, rather it will lie inside the abdomen on the young Naga's body.
Since he is an ice element user, it is already great that he is enduring the burning on his skin, but how could he endure the burning furnace inside his body.
As for the spiritual energy of the young man, it cannot be used at all. In fact, after some tries, he didn't dare to use it.
Because the more he tried to use it the more he felt his internal organs burning.
Soon, his skin on the face became dry and cracked.
His clothes are already burnt and his scales reached their endurance limit and started falling off.
But no matter how loud he screamed no one dared to help him.
Sam and Arman who came a bit earlier are standing there watching the young naga scream loudly with a cold expression.
Soon the news spread to the regiment commander and he came running.
When he saw his son being nailed down and all the fire elemental energy over him, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved, he didn't even care about Sam for a moment and crouched on the ground beside his son as he tried to check the formation.
But as soon as he placed his hand over, the pain intensified and the young Naga screamed even more loudly.
The same thing happened when he tried to use spiritual energy. He was being tortured the more he tried to escape.
The formation master who laid the formation furnace also came with him as they were in a meeting earlier. He was in a meeting because he wanted to delay Sam's release and the soldiers started acting like the formation is not working and their next step would be to search for the formation master who would be in a meeting and couldn't come.
But Sam directly came out.
The formation master looked at the formation and he was stunned.
He looked at Sam and said.
"You laid this formation?" He questioned with surprise. But he didn't receive any answer. The formation master understood the situation Sam was in and also understood the reason for the gaze of resentment. When he looked at the formation, he really did feel like the regiment commander and his son are causing the army to lose great talent.
He observed Sam's and Arman's attire. They removed their uniforms.
He looked at the regiment commander and explained.
"The formation is a bit complicated and is his original design to the variation of the formation furnace. It would be hard for me to crack it instantly. If we force it or try to pry it open, he would suffer endless agony that might injure his mentality.
The only way is to break the formation, but only he can do it instantly, I will need six hours at least to even have any idea on how to proceed."
He said as he pointed at Sam.
The regiment commander looked at Sam and walked towards him with a colder than ice expression and released his energy to let it make waves, bearing all the pressure on Sam, and coldly spat.
"Remove the formation."
His voice was low and almost sounded like a whisper, but everyone could hear it.
Sam looked at his straight in the eye.
Sam is around six feet and he could only be considered short with the seven feet height of this Naga man, but Sam still looked at his eyes as if he was a dead man without a slight hint of change.
"Remove the formation or…" The regiment commander once again said these words but was interrupted by someone at this moment.
"Or what?" The regiment commander stiffened and looked at Yodha and a middle-aged Naga following behind coming towards him.
As soon as they saw the middle-aged Naga all the soldiers hurriedly saluted and that included the formation master and the regiment commander.
"Regiment commander reporting to General."
The regiment commander said as he looked at the middle-aged man.
"Regiment commander, you still didn't answer my question. What are you going to do?" Yodha asked from the side.
The regiment commander hesitated a bit, but he still steeled his resolve due to the general's presence. The dirty laundry was in the air and there is a great chance of him getting exposed. So, he has to escape this sneakily as possible.
"Battalion commander Yodha, your battalion soldiers are truly becoming brazen. I only punished him slightly because he forced a lady soldier, who is our comrade in arms, and now he dared directly take revenge on my son. What do you want me to do? Just because you have background.."
As he was about to continue a voice sounded.
"Enough." It is the general who spoke and looked at the regiment commander intently. The background of Yodha is not something a mere regiment commander could comment on.
The general looked at Sam and said.
"Remove the formation." Sam didn't answer him and looked at Yodha.
"I am going away from this nation. I will no longer be a part of this military nor would I be a citizen of this country. I don't even need your partnership. Goodbye."
With that, he and Arman turned around and started walking towards the gate leading to the forest.
"Who said you can go?" The general said in an authoritative voice.
