Chapter 637: Another Emergency
Battle with Agun is only the start.
Sam started the most time consuming hunt ever and in the middle of it all, he has to deal with the ambushes and the attacks lead by the remaining Elite ten of the Union sect.
For obvious reasons, he became their major target. It almost seemed like they changed their goal from the taking over Nagin to just killing Sam. At least, he became their priority over Nagin castle.
But Sam didn't have time to care for their reasons, he used all the moves in his arsenal to deal with them. Wherever he went, there are numerous people turning into corpses. For some reason, the Union sect's soldiers increased. They seemed to have a large scale recruitment. No one knows where they came from and how did they manage that.
Even the emperors couldn't find a reason, but there are addition three thousand troops in the Union sect and they comprised of many races.
Along with that there are flocks of beasts accompanying them.
Since, they are tasting backlash in this war from the start, they decided to step up their game, they are trying to drown the Nagin castle's troops with numbers.
But the main brunt is being taken by Sam and the rest of the players.
A month passed and it is approximately three months since the Black Horse game began.
With the war going on and his hunt, Sam is a bit mentally strained. He killed too many people and with the fluctuations in his character and slight dissatisfaction he is facing and the actions he is taking to cover them, all of them intensified.
He doesn't know what kind of changes his mind is going through. From the past year he was here, everything was normal for him. At first, he was a bit excited about developing in Naga Loka. But later it felt boring. He was caught up in this Palace of inheritance and the Black horse game.
The large amounts of killing he has done, he has no challenge in this place at all. But he tried to increase his own interest, but he could see he is losing it. As the Black horse is being close to completion as he collected the herbs, he knew he has to go back, he missed his friends by his side, he missed an environment where he could talk to his beast companions.
But the thought of going back to that comfortable like in the home planet, where he has too much of an influence and too much of the power is also eating him away.
When he thought of going back, nothing came to his mind, except for his friends and beasts, not the city he developed, the riches he owned.
His mind is divided into two and the first half doesn't want to stay here and wants to finish this game and go back as soon as possible, the second half doesn't want to go back to the life where he almost doesn't have to do anything.
He doesn't know what he is missing to have these contradicting thoughts. The only thing he knew is that he is missing something and that is connected to him making a promise to himself for his own sake and Stella's sake and that is to live his life to the fullest.
When he was developing in that home planet, with no support and total suppression on every step, he felt alive, he reached the top brass without even having that much individual strength. Now, it is not interesting him.
Every day, when he is taking rest, he was thinking all of this, while hunting these players. This month, he battled three more Players and killed a lot of soldiers from the Union sect, he didn't get the herb nor did he get the answer he was searching for. It felt boring.
With these conflicting thoughts, Sam spent another month and battled three more players, he still didn't get what he wanted. There are only two more players left and both of them are familiar to him. One of them is Arkiv and the other is Akhil and all the investigation he had done is showing him that they are both at the same place.
Then only Sam realized that he fell into another trap, they didn't completely hide themselves from him, they actually appeared in front of him in a timely manner and led him by the nose in a way so that Sam would just go after them in that particular order and waste time.
They just wanted to drag it as much as they wanted. But Sam was faster than they expected and there is still two months, but he already came to the last two.
But they didn't change plans. After all, they didn't want to piss off Sam too much. In their minds, he is a maniac who can achieve his revenge by hook or crook and he is most resourceful guy of all of them, which made them extremely careful not to piss him off too much.
After all, from the looks of it, they still have ten Palaces they should attend together and they would also interact more in the future. Even if they don't want to admit it, Sam is currently best of them all and they are all in the same boat with him and if that boat has any holes, he has the highest chance to survive.
They didn't want to antagonize him completely.
That is why they gave him a fair shot at this by putting up the possible fight. There is an option of ganging up on him, but no one agreed because, Sam would not be the Black horse all the time. They don't want to experience the same situation.
After some struggle Sam finally found the duo and another intense battle began. For some reason, these two have even better coordination than Noah and Kumar.
They gave Sam an unbearable headache as they led him by the nose through half of the Union dimension.
They fought in such a way that they are stubbornly running away and laying ambushes to Sam as one of them is extremely good at long-range attacks and the other was good at close quarters, Sam fought them for half a month and finally was able to get a hold of them and get that root in his hands.
It looked like ginger, That is the only impression Sam has on it and even the effects are body cleansing and it is not too good to take it all at the same time. All the qualities are extremely similar to the ginger.
After this fight is over, his last phase of plan is the only thing left. He returned to the lake and Chatur went on a long journey to different planets as he collected the pre-ordered goods and his final stop is planet Fysi.
He met Dharkan and only have him a confirmation without saying anything.
Dharkan started making some large moves in his kingdom as he collected vast amount of his resources and he made a secret trip to Union dimension after everything is over. Now that the game is over, Sam could leave this place anytime he wants and he couldn't wait to leave this place.
The war is still going on, but the Union sect doesn't have any lead at the moment and now the Nagin castle is the one trying their best to destroy the foundations of the Union sect.
Sam is not needed as the other players took charge and with the game being over, they full foused on the war situation.
He clearly stated that he wanted to go back to them and asked them for a favor to manage the war. He is really getting sick of staying in this place. As for the trigger of why he is feeling like that all of a sudden, no one knows including himself.
But just before he wanted to leave, something else happened.
Chatur came to running to his ten and yelled.
"Sam, the untamable beast forest, is glowing, there would be a beast tide soon. We have to go to the Nagin castle."
He was extremely anxious as he spoke.
Sam looked at him with a question expression and asked.
"Untamable beast forest?" He searched his memory and he remembered that it is one of the forests of the Union dimension. It is to the left of Origin castle and closest to the centre of the dimension. He didn't study much as it is not related to Nagin castle and Union sect.
"Yes, Untamable beast forest, cam also be considered a resource point. But it is extremely random and it is actually a dangerous place. No one castle can hold it for themselves, that is why the name.
As for how dangerous it it, whenever it glowed, there would be a large beast tide and the beast tide will be divided into six parts attacking all six major castles. There will be one beast in charge of all of them within the forest. Unless that beast was killed or tamed, the beasts in the beast tide will be in a berserk stage and will try to destroy all the castles.
But no one ever succeeded in taming the beast as it would take a long time and the risk is too high, so every time, they will try their best to kill the beast after some futile attempts of forceful taming, they would just kill the beast.
We need your help now. We need every hand we can get."
"Why hasn't anyone given any information about this to me?" Sam asked
"Because it is extremely random and in the past decade the tide didn't happen. But from the history records, the larger the gap between two tides, the larger the tide will be. Please do something. The war is also put on halt, the elites of all the six castles will have to go to the forest and you are selected as our castle representative."
