Even if he was distracted before , he reacted almost instinctively as he side stepped to dodge a hand made purely of darkness coming straight at him .
[ Hand of darkness ]
[ Curse someone with but one touch . ]
" It looks like I'm not welcome in here ... " He muttered as he looked at the spot the hand landed , because ... that was clearly not a curse .
[ Decay ]
[ Age anything for as long as the supply of energy continues . ]
' Fuck me . ' He thought as he thought what would happen if he got hit by it ... A million year old Sam ...
He shivered at the mere thought .
[ The amount on energy it had was enough to age you by another 1324 years . ]
' Fuck me more , then . ' He cursed as he looked ahead . It was like a cave , except it stretched on till forever , that's what he thought at least . As he peered into the darkness he quickly took out the dagger he got from the old magician at the Magica base .
He activated sixth sense and closed his eyes , and waited .
He suddenly opened his eyes as he leaned back and bushed himself back at the same time as he stabbed with the dagger into the chest of a person with a backhand stab .
The assailants seemed surprised but did not stop as the 4 others quickly surrounded him once more as the one who seemed to be the leader said something a language he did not understand but nevertheless Sam reversed his grip and took the dagger out of the person's chest and threw it into the neck of a person who seemed to be running away with the leader .
The leader looked back for but a second , before he ran out of the soul torturer after muttering some unintelligible words in a weird frequency .
[ Complete translation for the language ???????????? can now be activated ]
The people in front of him looked dazed as they stared fixedly at the corpses of their 2 partners , but Sam didn't mind as he quickly summoned his decks above his left palm and launched a rain of bullets at the two stunned targets , which easily pierced their robe and killed them both .
Sam still looked calm as ever as he stared at the corpses of the people he killed . He stood there silently , not saying anything and even the torturer did not throw any magics around him .
He stared at each one of them one by one as he remembered the feeling he had when he killed them .
Coldness .
That was what he felt . A chill spread through his body as soon as he sensed them coming at him and he didn't know why , but he felt he had to kill them . When he did kill them , however , that chill felt stronger and more piercing than ever .
The silence was finally broken by Scout who showed the battle report .
[ New language recorded and translated . ]
[ Show records of untranslated recordings ? ]
[ Show battle results ? ]
Sam sighed as he threw fireball cards at the corpses around him .
[ You can take whatever is on their bodies . ]
' Anything worth it ? ' Sam asked .
[ ... ]
[ Pocket dimensional objects , or storage objects will not be burnt by the weak flame of yours . You can collect them later . ]
Sam nodded as he asked Scout to show the recorded translations .
[ There's someone at the end of the path . ]
[ Five , sneak up behind him and kill him . He is tier 1 anyways . ]
[ He stabbed five's heart .. He is an experienced fighter . ]
[ Doesn't matter . We got what we came for . Three , come with me . ]
[ Nooooo ! Sister three ! ]
[ Sister three ! ]
[ This isn't over yet ! I will meet you again . ]
Sam nodded as he looked at the interface a in front of him . They showed the cloaked body and the method he used to kill the speaker on the upper left corner of the interface along with the gender sign of the people .
Apparently it was a group of 4 guys and a woman .
Sam chuckled and asked for the battle results .
[ Soul : Tier 2 ( 0/100,000 )
Growth : Level 16 ( 0/1250 ) ]
' Wait , what the fuck ? ' Sam shuddered as he looked at how he instantly became tier 2 . ' There were no shining lights or anything ? Just whoosh and I am tier 2 ? '
[ Below tier 3 , the soul is too weak to affect the outside world . Only after it goes from tier 3 to 4 will it's effects show on the outside world . ]
' How much experience did I get anyways ? And why did I not get any more experience after reaching tier 2 ? '
[ There is a safety period for a soul to adapt to the body after every tier upgrade . Your body grew further , but soul didn't because it was in this period for the next 10 minutes . ]
Sam nodded and didn't question any further . He knew the people were tier 3 though . How ? Even he was questioning it himself .
Sam finally got around to checking the bodies which were completely burnt and were only left with a charred skeleton . The body of the girl had a ring , two guys had a pouch and the last guy had a necklace .
Sam quickly threw them in his inventory as it would scan the items by itself and tell him about them .
As he looked at the interface in front of him , he was seriously in shock . The number of energy stones was a mind numbing figure . These weak people had in total about 250,000 minor energy stones , if all of them were converted to a lower value , that is .
Sam already felt this trip was worth it , when he saw a bow in the girl's storage ring . He looked at it for a while , but instead of telling Scout to scan it he kept it in the inventory and proceeded to whisper , " Status "
