Chapter 27 - The Sword

[How much time do you need to move?], after drinking three bottles of healing potion the recovery rate of his wound was low due to depth of cut. 'Don't know, I still feel my head spinning.'

Unknown to Sam the blood flowing from the wound was slowly seeping in the pendant given to him by Chronos. As it continued drinking the blood the crest engravings started to move slowly.

On the other side, the half naked man was busy choking the neck of the girl. After a while the girl stopped moving and was thrown on the side. Sam tried standing up, wobbly on his feet causing him to fall on the ground again. Slowly crawling out of there was his best for now. 'Why is the potion not working. It should have worked now. I will kill the shopkeeper after I escape from here', crawling for few meters Sam got up started running away. After gaining some distance he stopped to catch his breath and looked after his wound. It was nearly closed but still bleeding somewhat. 'What a shitty day, I just want to sleep on my bed'. [If you escape from here you can sleep all you want but for now focus], Sei was afraid that they would be followed urging Sam to start running again. 

*Bam. With a loud noise few trees were destroyed and panic can be seen on Sam's face. Without looking back Sam increased his speed and ran with his might. 

A few minutes earlier when Zola killed the girl and looked back he saw Sam missing. Knowing that he was played a nerve popped up on his forehead from anger and he started pursuing Sam destroying anything coming in his path. "You brat making a fool of me, I will kill you a HUNDRED TIMES". *Bam 

'Tell me how can I make him lose me?', Sam asked Sei desperately. [I don't know, run with everything you got]. His advice was useless. It was only a matter of time until he was captured and was sure he would lose his head this time. 

Seeing no way out Sam stopped in his track and to negotiate with the man. "What have I done wrong? Why kill me?" asked Sam in most desperate voice. "It is simple. Your mistake was to see me nothing else", replied the man. 'What kind of crap logic is that. Ah! he is frustrating me'.

Seeing the sword coming closer and closer all the panic caused his heart to start beating faster and adrenaline rising in his blood. The sword touched his pendant and the pendant started to vibrate shaking the space around. Cracks started forming in the air, getting bigger and bigger with time. This phenomenon was unbelievable to Zola while Sam was panicking at what was happening and closed his eyes in fear. 

The cracked space shattered and an unknown space formed in front of Sam. [Open your eyes and see what is happening], opening his eyes Sam saw some kind of space distortion whose logic was beyond his understanding but he got this feeling, this urge to put his hand inside. Slowly extending his hand and touching the distortion he saw his hands slowly disappeared. His hands disappeared but the feeling was still there. Slowly feeling around he sensed something present in the space, it was cold, rugged and round. Putting it in his grip he pulled it with all his might and a sword's hilt came out. Pulling some more, a sword became visible, but the strange thing was it was bound in multiple chains and anchored in the space.

As he pulled the sword the chains became loose and the sword completely out the space closed. Looking at the sword it appeared a normal longsword, double edged and a little rusty is what Sam thought. 'What is this thing?', Sam asked Sei if he knew anything. [Don't know but it is giving me goosebumps. The energy surrounding it is no joke. All I can feel is some kind of black energy]. 'Tell me its not a cursed item of sort', Sam could feel getting goosebumps.

Seeing the sword in Sam's hand Zola had his eyes wide opened in his eyes. 'Why do you have that sword. You are an interesting person kid, ha ha ha. I will enjoy torturing you for a confession.' 

[Looks like he knows something about this sword], seeing the reaction Sei told Sam. 'Even if he knows he won't tell us easily. Why is everything today not helping me? Why', todays events were getting more and more dangerous for Sam.
