Chapter 635: Trap
[A/N Announcement in author's thought.]
Currently, these two Ice and Fire brothers from the Union are on a battlefield where Noah and Kumar are cooperating.
Since, their battle with Sam, they seemed to have a better cooperative relationship and since the players all managed to convince the special commanders to work together, these two immediately became partners for this.
Even though their main target is hindering Sam, they do have some obligations regarding the Nagin castle. So, they decided to clear the war first and from their judgment, Sam would never stay back in such a battlefield full of achievements written over it.
And their estimations didn't fool them as Sam really did appear, but he appeared at a time they didn't expect. Sam arrived at the battle-field right when the brothers started their fight against Kumar and Noah.
When he saw the fight, he couldn't help but marvel at the brothers' cooperation. They are extremely coordinated and it is almost like the two bodies belonged to the same mind and controlled as such.
They don't even need to communicate as they attacked and defended together, the trickiest of all were their combinations.
Ice veiled in the fire, fire veiled in ice, one veiled in two, two veiled in one. They are extremely hard to dodge and hard to block as they couldn't decide what kind of attack that was coming to them.
The two brothers are giving a hard time. But the only flaw is that they don't have the required lethality in their attacks. Their coordination and partnership are great, but due to this constant movement and concentration required on maintaining this balance, they could get enough lethality from a single attack.
They are dragging and trying to let their opponents exhaust their energy with the confusion of their attacks.
Clearly, these guys are good at close combat and it is a waste to send them to save night charm on that day.
Maybe they are the nearest to them. But now, Sam really enjoyed watching this battle. Happy times wouldn't last long though. He learned the lesson because both parties soon noticed his presence.
Unlike his usual style, he didn't hide at all. He is spectating from a closer distance.
It is almost like, he wanted them to notice him.
But Sam just waved his hand with a smile and said.
"Please carry on. I wouldn't interfere until one of you wins."
They looked at Sam extremely doubtfully. But Sam just sat on a nearby large rock as if he is really spectating.
And to his surprise, Noah and Kumar didn't attack him. After all, he is the bigger target for them, he thought they would use the two brothers to finish him before fighting it out with them. But both sides ignored his presence and started battling again.
The battle once again proceeded like before, but the situation turned sour for the two brothers after some time. Noah is not a normal fighter, she is actually a bit sly and she dropped seeds all over the place. Since the brothers wouldn't leave a certain area to have perfect sync, they are surrounded by the vines.
This is what Sam is actually waiting for. He knew she wouldn't drag the fight for no reason.
The brothers didn't expect this and got stuck, what they didn't expect is the strength of the spear strike from Kumar.
They have been blocking many strikes from Kumar, but they didn't expect he hid his strength well.
With just two stabs, their guards broke their shoulders were torn open. They couldn't even move their arms. Kumar was about to swing the spear to give the final blow, but at this moment, Sam suddenly moved.
With a dagger, he cut all the vines and he carried both the brothers on his shoulder before saying.
"Thanks for the effort."
Sam gave a cocky grin and flew away on the Harbinger. As soon as he took the Harbinger out, both of them gave up on their pursuit.
"Why is he behaving like this? It is not his style right?" Kumar asked from the side with a frown.
"Maybe, he just wanted to be willful once. I feel this might be better. Whenever look at that guy, all I could see is a killing machine and a cold businessman. Maybe, he remembered he is also just an ordinary young man."
Noah replied. If Sam was here, he would definitely be stunned. After all, this is the most Noah ever spoke in a single breath.
But too bad Sam didn't hear, but if he did he might have agreed with her view.
Sam didn't have any reservations for now. He just wanted to have some willful days for himself before he went back to his 'normal' life.
He wanted to try behaving like a normal youth for once. He never experienced the youth in both lives anyway. All he did was kill, kill and kill.
Since he decided to live his life to the fullest in this life even though he was forced into this, he didn't enjoy being alive at all. So, he wanted to experiment a bit and with all the people he met, he was trying new ways.
He would only know once he stopped being willful if he really liked being a normal Youth or Not.
Sam directly took these two the meeting spot from the battle-field.
He expected some resistance. After all, the players should have known exactly what he wanted to do with them, so it doesn't make sense if they don't try to stop him.
This meeting event went extremely smoothly and the other guys are ready to exchange the required thing for some extra money. The worst part is they don't even know what use the herb has.
Sam just bought it and started his journey, but then only Sam's hard time started. The remaining of the elite ten are on his tail.
On his way, back to the Lake, Sam was ambushed by five of the Elite ten.
He didn't join the fight immediately but tried to find the last of his targets. The battle erudite. From the information Sam received, the battle erudite is the person who belongs to the last planet.
Sam just avoided the fights for a while and searched for the Battle Erudite.
But no matter what he did, he couldn't find him. He circled almost every Union sect base. If the situation goes on like this, he would have to storm into the headquarters.
After some thought, he kidnapped one of the Elite ten and started interrogation. Then only he got the news and that is, the Battle Erudite is already gone and Sam was the one who was supposed to have taken him down.
Sam was stunned because of this news.
After all, he didn't go anywhere near Battle Erudite. He immediately went back to the lake and asked Chatur to enquire about the situation.
Sam was clear about one thing in his life. He wouldn't take credit either good or bad for something he didn't commit. He wouldn't lose credit either good or bad for something he did commit.
So, there is no way, he would take this lying down like this.
Something seriously wrong happened.
After another day of investigation, Chatur finally got some news.
Just like how Sam exchanged the lives of the other Elite ten to their home planets, Battle Erudite was also offered just like that and a valuable plant root was bought with his life in their Planet's castle.
Sam was stunned for a second and started analyzing the situation. Even though rumors are saying that he should be the one who did that, he certainly didn't do that.
That is why the Union sect people are ambushing him, for the past two days, even the normal soldiers are also trying their luck.
There seemed to be a large bounty on Sam's head and because of Battle erudite's disappearance, the battle came to a halt as the Union sect once again retreated. One can only say that the Union sect is being haunted by bad fortune, they are on retreat continuously.
Sam started thinking about what could have happened and started investigating this matter. He didn't even have to do much as Chatur with his casual outings was able to get the required Info.
The disappearance of battle erudite is the same day as his last deal. Sam sold out the Ice and fire brothers.
He certainly was busy that day and not in extreme limelight even the brothers were stolen by him from the battle, he was not even eye-catching in the battle-field at that time as there are no soldiers in the vicinity.
He thought hard and suddenly an idea popped up in his head.
He immediately called Chatur and asked him to get some info on the players. He has speculation and there is a high probability that it would be true.
And when Chatur came back, he was already fifty percent sure. The Players currently are staying separately and are scouting different regions under the Union sect and spread all over the territory,
Sam felt that the disappearance of the Battle erudite is certainly a trap for him. He is sure that the whole situation was orchestrated by the players and they left the two brothers for him and they went for the proper and bigger fish.
