[Ask him about the sword. From his expression it looks like he knows something], even Sei was curious about this sword. 'My heart is going crazy from the stunt I performed just now but my guts are ringing the bells of danger. The more I will know about this sword the more I will be in danger it is telling me'.
Currently Sam was living one of the worst moments of his life. He was facing a person who is hellbent on killing him and then he summons a mysterious sword from a mysterious portal. The strange part was that the sword was chained and held up until he pulled it out. Seeing the surprised expression on Zola's face only confirmed Sam's suspicions on the sword. It was a cursed item and the underground people were looking for it.
Zola saw everything happened and the moment he saw the sword he remembered what his master once told him. He was not sure if it was the same item he was looking for as the appearance was different from what he was told. Still Zola didn't want any variable to happen now and thus decided he will kill Sam and take the sword to his master.
*Clap clap clap. " Such a lovely performance. Didn't knew you could perform spatial magic. But it is time for the show to end". Zola started walking towards Sam with his sword and Sam who was on his wits end could only wait.
[Stop acting like statue and use the sword to attack. The first one to attack has the upper hand].
'Are you serious? That man is out of my league. At a time like this I hope master was with me. No need on crying I will die fighting'.
'Aura slash', making his resolve Sam took the first step and attacked Zola. Zola easily stopped the attack with his sword and with his right leg tripped Sam on the ground. "Too early for these tricks", saying this while laughing Zola pulled Sam up through his collar and punched him in the stomach.
"Cough, Cough" Sam felt the world spinning and passed out for a second from the pain. "That was energy infused punch, I hope you are not dead yet", said Zola.
Sam gripped the sword harder and swung around aimlessly to keep Zola away as the last desperate method. Seeing this Zola only laughed. Zola then kicked Sam few times causing Sam to spit blood from his mouth.
" This is so fun, torturing kids like you only to see them begging to live. Now beg for your life, maybe I will spare you", seeing Sam struggling to move Zola got excited. Sam clung to Zola's left leg and said, "Fuck you, you psycho bastard".
Zola's face crunched up and he punched Sam in the face causing Sam to faint. "Not good, I can't let my anger get in my way of fun", seeing unconscious Sam Zola sighed and turned away.
From the handle of the sword where Sam had his grip some black and red roots started growing covering half of Sam's arm. Slowly it continued to grow and covered half of his face. When Zola returned he saw Sam hunched up, unknown thing cling to his face, his eyes glowing red and him breathing faster. His appearance looked like he had been infected with some mad disease.
"What is going on in here, another trick to save your desperate life", Zola didn't care what trick Sam was playing. All he had to do was kill him and take his sword.
