Chapter 623: Too Lucky?

Sam looked at the wing and the arm on the ground. Most of the bones in those limbs broke when they hit the ground. The wing is below the arm and both of them are inside the crater.

Sam threw a fireball at the wing and the feathers supported the golden flames to burn and both of them burned.

A gush of wind hit him in the back as Sky landed with Chatur on his back. Chatur sprawled onto the ground as he panted heavily. Sam went to him and crouched as he checked for injuries. After confirming he is alright, he gave him some water to calm him down.

After some time, they once again started their journey and this time, they went on the wolves they caught from the Canine squad. Chatur will be traumatized by the flight journey for some time.

As they slowly made their way towards the Pearl Lake, Sam asked.

"Who is that guy? Do you know?"

"One of the Elite ten, the Wind Fiend. Nobody knows his real name. His specialty is using that vulture to attack from the air. But even in the ground battle, he cannot be underestimated. His wind attacks are extremely precise and his saber play is extremely unique.

He is an expert in ambushing like this. He is a wanted person in three planets. He was one of the best hit-men of the Union sect.

While Sam is listening to the details regarding this guy, the person himself is sprawling on the ground as four other people surrounded him as they laughed, meanwhile another guy is healing him slowly as his arm started regenerating.

The Vulture is groaning in pain as it laid on the floor beside them.

"Wind Fiend. Do you have any face left in front of the juniors of the sect? You came here in such a pathetic shape. Not only did you lose an arm and the wing, you even lost them after you took out the token? Are you that slow?" A guy who is laughing said from the side.

"He is the one who is fast." The Wind fiend answered through the gritted teeth.

"Pfft. You really are a joke Wind fiend. We just came yesterday and there is only very basic information regarding him and you couldn't even control yourself? Are you so hungry for the glory? Now you even came back like this. Are you embarrassed enough?"

A beautiful Yaksha girl with a Black Combat suit said as she giggled.

Wind Fiend didn't say anything and only snorted. The person healing finished healing his hand and threw a pill to him before moving to the vulture.

"I only lost because his beast is better than mine. It is faster than my vulture. If we met on a normal battle-field, I would have killed him easily."

"You are even dumber in giving out excuses. Isn't aerial battle your specialty? If you can't even kill him in the air with a surprise attack, you expect him to sit still and let you cut his head off? Stop dreaming and train properly."

A guy who is also laughing earlier said.

"Stop making fun of me, and try your own luck. You will see when you meet him yourself."

"You don't have to say it. I will meet him tonight and see what he has got. Anyway, the rest of you wouldn't get a chance after me. So if you want to try your luck. Do it before dusk. Afterward, it is my turn and I will anyone that competes with me."

The girl in Black left these words before leaving the room.

Meanwhile, Sam and Chatur reached the lake.

Sam threw every guy out of this place as he prepared his own tent this time. Chatur didn't even understand what that little thing that grew this big is, but he was also asked to stay inside this tent and he did.

Sam cooked once again and they started eating as night fell. Sam didn't do much that night, he has been working on the Mutant scales and he continued that work, but he didn't do that inside the divine dimension. He did so in his tent.

He worked until midnight and Sam put away all the things and looked at Chatur who is working on his own things as he painted on a large scroll.

"Chatur come here for a second."

Sam asked and Chatur obliged as he came near.

Sam stood up and asked Chatur to sit on his chair, he bumped into the table and there are things that fell down.

All of a sudden, a dark shadow moved and Sam who bent down to pick things suddenly moved as his hand was covered with shadow energy and caught the shadow in mid-air.

A woman's silhouette appeared in front of him. But there is no visible flesh there. All the flesh was also covered in dark shadow light. She turned into a puff of dark smoke and disappeared into her own shadow before appearing behind Sam's back.

Sam dodged the dagger strike and held her hand as he swiftly turned around.

She once again turned into a puff of smoke and moved around.

Sam frowned at this.

He didn't like this at all. This shadow technique is quite unique and it is not easy to catch it even with his body's partial shadow fusion.

He activated his eye technique as he looked at the shadow moving and his body also started dark element fusion and turning the dark energy to shadow energy. Soon, he is also moving just like the shadow as they clashed with daggers.

The clash is intense and the whole tent is filled with dark smokes and fumes. Even though they can't be felt and they only appear in an instant. They are still there and disappeared.

Sam's technique is not as unique and fast as the other party but it is efficient enough and with his skills, there is no need for him to worry.

He managed to leave some nicks on her skin. Even though a fusion body is not easy to damage, it is not completely invincible. Sam has several ways to damage it and Void style and ripple style are quite good.

As he was gaining upper hand, the shadow of the girl moved like it was growing and split into three as all three moved towards the entrance of the tent as if they wanted to escape.

But with a snap of his fingers. Five shadows appeared and locked the three of them in place. The Shadow necromancy is quite good in this aspect after all.

Two shadows out of three disappeared and the five shadows attacked the last remaining one.

The girl immediately exited the shadow form and a Yaksha woman appeared in front of Sam.

Sam canceled his fusion as he looked at the girl and smiled before taking a seat on another chair.

Chatur was stunned as he saw this scene. He was sweating profusely. Many times, he was hair's breadth away from the dagger of this lady. But Sam did his best to save him. He felt like his life is on its last days. Encountering two near-death experiences like this in a single day.

The woman is a Yaksha and Sam immediately knew who she was. There is no way he would let this opportunity go.

He looked at her and said.

"You are Night Charm? I must say your name is not suitable at all. Shadows can exist in days too. Why would you have a name as night charm?"

The woman only snorted and took out the token as her hands were behind her back.

Sam nonchalantly smiled as she spoke.

"Your days are over. No one can live after messing with the Union sect." She coldly said and with loads of killing intent still being on full display, she crushed the token.

She disappeared into a shadow and moved towards the entrance of the tent. This time, his five shadows weren't able to lock them down. But right before the shadow could pass the entrance, a lightning screen appeared and blocked her. The tent cloth charred into ashes as lighting surrounded them and the metallic frame stood there in the shape of the tent as the lightning filled the gaps.

The woman fell backward and spat a mouthful of blood as she looked horrified.

"I have experienced the token three times, do you think I will not prepare myself. Night Charm, there is nowhere you can go. With that, Sam disappeared into a golden light beam and shot towards her. He placed a restriction on her body and held her down as he activated it.

She fell forward and couldn't move her spiritual energy. Even her limbs are paralyzed.

Sam deactivated the thunder prison and stored it away before saying to Chatur.

"Let's go. We are going through the night. I didn't expect us to be so lucky. Before we could do anything, our target already came running to us."
