Chapter 636: Vs Agun
Sam didn't just sit there and speculate, rather he immediately left the place and went to the Nagin castle. Not all players left the castle with some excuse.
One of them is still there and that is Agun.
When Sam went into his stone house, he didn't beat around the bush and directly asked.
"The last herb, is it already with you guys?"
Agun just smiled and looked at him.
Sam is now almost sure his speculations are right. He didn't speak further and took out his staff.
"Will you give the required information or should I make you give it?"
"You sure are confident about that."
With that, he directly made his move. Azure flames filled the entire room and it almost melted the stone walls completely.
Sam didn't dodge, but just let his golden flames cover him. But he still felt the heat from the Azure flames, which surprised him quite a bit.
This is the first time, he felt the flames of the same level cultivators. Every flame he felt was dull and cold compared to the Golden sun flame. But these Azure flames can compare to his own golden flames, which is extremely surprising and new for him.
But he didn't care. He lunged forward and landed a strong hit with the staff on Agun sending him flying through the half molten walls and he crashed into the next room.
He didn't use any element, just the physical raw strength. He followed him and ran through the broken wall and both of them started fighting. Even though Agun is a warrior mage, his forte is not strength, rather his agility and his attacks are mostly mage skills. He didn't land many close hits. He is more focused on fire attacks.
But Sam is not like that. He used his golden flames and the physical strength in a perfect fusion as he spun his staff like it was his extension.
He might miss a hit with his staff, but Agun couldn't relax at all, because the edge of the staff will release a golden flame bird that attacked him.
The fight went on and on. Sam is not using his hundred percent strength but he is using his skills to their limit as he tried his best to beat him with just flame element. Without using others.
Since their flames are of almost equal intensity, then the tiebreaker lied in his physical skills.
Every hit Sam gave him, he was sending him flying through the walls. At least that is what it looked like to the spectators as they saw a figure surrounded by blue flames and a figure surrounded by golden flames are fighting all over the compo9und of the castle.
Sam already made some significant damage a few days ago and the repair is going on slowly, but here he is again he is creating chaos.
Sam didn't care about their thoughts, he felt that something is wrong with the way fight is going on. Because every hit he is giving was not meant to send him flying but it was clearly happening and only after some time did he realize what is wrong.
Agun is trying to keep a distance so that he can attack Sam.
But once Sam figured it out, he didn't let this happen. He stored the staff away and switched to fists. Now, Agun can dream of flying back.
Now, the spectators are even more awed. Because the scene in front of them is too beautiful.
Sam and Agun are slowly activating the fusion and soon they turned into their fusion bodies.
Agun seemed to not want to lose and he is not trying to use his blood art which confused Sam. But he didn't care about that now. He is getting a bit excited by this fight and the Agun is also going all out without dodging.
But he was sent flying backward for that.
He stood there in the distance and looked at Sam, Sam also looked back.
Agun extended his hands forward and blue flames started gathering and Sam understood his intentions, he didn't move forward and extended his hands. Golden flames gathered and both of them sent a large jet of flame forward.
Two flames one golden and another blue clashed in the middle and battled. The spectators watched with their mouths wide open.
This is their final clash for this battle and the deciding factor will be who has more energy and as they activated their fusion forms now, the energy consumption is already high, but they didn't care. They just clashed without any reservation and the first to fall will lose.
The point at which both flames contacted has the most heat. The ground below it already started melting and a red patch appeared. The red patch didn't stay still, it kept on expanding and the surrounding spectators took a step back and maintained a certain distance as the heat got to them.
The grass in the compound started drying and the water in any form was being taken away. Every cultivator watching this couldn't help but sweat.
Sam was surprised with Agun's power reserves. Even he is feeling the pinch but Agun is still pushing with all he got.
The clash lasted for half-an-hour as no one could outpower another for that time, but after that time passed, a fluctuation started on Agun's side. He is clearly struggling a bit. Sam is also already feeling the pinch.
He always kept some energy for reserve and wouldn't use it all in normal battles. But that energy is now being used. If someone attacked him after this battle, it would put him in a dangerous situation.
He hardened his resolve and increased the intensity, he should finish this quickly. And soon the golden flame started pushing the Azure flame back and Agun couldn't stand his ground, he started screaming to the sky as his body lost the fusion and he returned to his normal form.
He tried his best to give one last push, but he couldn't do it and soon the golden flame reached him and he could feel the heat striking his face.
The clash was over and when the smoke cleared, all they saw is Sam standing there with his deactivated fusion and Agun sprawling on the ground with his bare and burnt upper body.
Sam looked at him and carried him to the nearest house and started healing him while he himself recovered.
After the burns are gone and Agun recovered a bit of his strength Sam asked his questions. Agun didn't show any resistance and answered all of his questions except one.
Sam has finally confirmed his speculations.
The players did set a trap for him. Nine of them joined together. For the Union sect is really secondary and they are not worried about them at all, not even about the Elite ten, Sam could see why they are not afraid anyway. If they really used their blood arts, these Elite ten are no different from some toddlers to them.
They can even beat them without any arts too. Except for the guy with staff who used lightning element, Sam didn't see anyone particularly powerful that could pose a threat individually.
After the Players confirmed that, they wanted to plant a trap for Sam but most of it depended on luck.
When Sam went to Vronti they sent three of them to make sure that he thinks their attention is on him completely. But the rest of them are all trying their best to get in contact with the people of other planets.
Not all of them have a Chatur beside them.
After gaining the contact, the other party asked them for the same thing Dharkan asked Sam. They want Battle erudite.
So, they focused on war and they waited for Sam to make a move. All this while, Sam took the herbs in the list in the same order. He tried to, as the Abyss grass is still not in his hands, but still, he went for things in order.
So, they targeted the last herb on the list and successfully made a deal with the battle erudite as an exchange. They also had to pay a good amount.
Meanwhile, they decided to let Sam catch his next target without any problems. So, that he would be busy making a deal. They also understood Sam's nature and his desire for natural resources, so they made sure that he gets the brothers and they thought he would spend some time getting the resources he needed.
In the meantime, they executed their plan and made the deal for that herb.
After they got it, they gave it to the person that could use it, but that person cannot use it now. They planned to use it when he broke through. Now the herb is with that person. But as for who that person is, that is the question he denied to answer.
So, all Sam can do is find out himself.
Sam got suspicious and checked his spatial ring too, in fact, he himself showed the spatial ring willingly.
He gave one crucial piece of information though. They don't want to break all the relation with Sam just like how Sam didn't want to do so and helped Agun heal after the fight and not killing him, so they decided to give him a fair shot and if he could find them and beat them, the person who has the herb would willingly give it to him.
Sam is already having enough on his plate, but he also has to face the changes in his own mind. Now, he got another job to do. He thought he would finish the Black horse game before the time, but they put a halt to his actions.
He would have to hunt all of them down. Even though the current Union sect is on the passive end, the war is not over. So, they cannot leave for a few months and in this time, he has to find all of them one by one and get his hands on that herb.
