Chapter 883: A confirmed Speculation

Sam left on Harbinger and left through the Wormhole connecting to the current Planet the rest of the players are present.

After reaching the Planet he directly went to a forest.

He already knew where he has to go and find that person. In the decade, he didn't even let her wander off without knowing her location for a single day.

She was completely under his surveillance.

Sam liked his speed. He traveled cities and nations in a single day with this Astral Plane cultivation. He just wished a spirit would be generated earlier so that he could add some inscriptions which would let the spirit do all the operating and he can relax and just stand on the board.

He appeared near a forest and looked into it with a smirk on his face as he got ready to deal with her.

He didn't even hide his presence at all, in fact, he made sure that every being in the forest can feel his presence.

Beryl who is sitting in the forest with her legs crossed as she cultivated felt her heart shiver for a second.

She looked at the horizon as Sam zoomed like a black streak of light towards her. Her face went pale and she started running.

She knew this day would come sooner or later. That is why she worked so hard to cultivate faster and keep up the pace with Sam and in fact, she is the fastest of the rest of the players. She is on verge of a breakthrough into the Astral Plane.

Just a few minutes and she would have been done.

He took a bunch of transference scrolls and used them. She is the only one buying them from the point shop and accumulating them like a crazy person but this day they came in handy as she used one after the other in different directions.

But Sam is not at all flustered.

His eye glowed deeply as he used the eye technique in conjunction with his spatial energy and saw the traces of the transference scroll's direction and he used a scroll in the same direction from where he saw another trace left behind and use another scroll to follow her.

She even had to buy them in the shop, but Sam has been accumulating them since the second Palace of inheritance and most of them are unused.

By now, he didn't need them anymore.

Beryl used five scrolls and every moment, she moved in a different direction and stopped in a volcanic region and jumped directly into the volcano as she submerged as she hurriedly absorbed the fire elemental energy to forcefully breakthrough.

Sam arrived at the location and looked around surprised to not find out another trace.

This means that she is nearby and he started searching.

His spiritual sense covered a large area as he looked for her and leisurely searched her.

And he couldn't find her location normally and the only thing left is the volcano and coincidentally he also felt the presence of a strong accumulation of fire elemental energy from that volcano. He went nearby and placed his hand on the outer surface of the volcano and scanned the contents.

He noticed that she is on verge of a breakthrough.

He contemplated between letting her breakthrough or trying to stop her.

But a mischievous idea came to his mind and he gave out an evil grin.

He didn't interrupt her, rather he made her know of his presence, but gave an illusion that he is standing afar and as if he didn't know her existence here.

And she felt like Sam is nearing her slowly and felt anxious.

She started absorbing the energy in bulk and didn't care about the consequences at all which led to an unstable breakthrough.

As the energy rose and her breakthrough became apparent, she could feel Sam's presence reaching her at a high speed.

And she hurriedly finished the breakthrough. The volcano exploded with an eruption and the lava started raining down from above as she jumped out of it hurriedly covering herself in black flames as she looked around carefully as she was about to land.

But before she could touch the ground, she stopped mid-air and hovered in the air which made her brain run cold.

"Hello, Beryl, isn't it rude to run away like this from me? As fellow players we need to be friendly don't you think?"

Sam sat on the rock and the Lava rain that is destroying the surrounding land is avoiding him completely.

"What did you do to me?"

She asked as she tried to break free and she managed it for a second because of the overflowing energy, but she felt restricted again.

"You don't know? That is part of my new bag of tricks. It seems like you couldn't control your energy yet. Cultivation should be stable my dear."

"You…"

Beryl became angry and the black flames enveloped the whole region. She still couldn't escape the shackles though. Sam just sat there nonchalantly as he looked at her attempts.

The black flame tried to cover him and burn him down, but it seems like a barrier is in place as there appeared a spherical space that the flames couldn't enter.

"Try harder. You know what, let me be generous. I wouldn't increase the force of my tackle and just let me be here and hold you like this, You can try and escape it if you can."

Beryl got angrier and angrier as she looked at Sam's smug face.

The Black flames rampaged and the spatial barrier that is holding her started tearing apart with spatial cracks and loosened the reach.

But Sam didn't tighten it immediately, she landed on the feet and moved towards him like crazy as a black streak of fire.

She launched a punch in the middle which caused a large blast of black flames to be shot at Sam, who is just looking at her calmly.

The flames zoomed towards him but collided with an invisible barrier.

Beryl was stumped for a moment, but she still ran towards the barrier and started punching it with black flames.

The spatial barrier couldn't take the pressure and cracked, but right when it was about to collapse, Sam slammed his palm to it causing an explosion on the spot which made her fly in the air and crash into another invisible barrier.

"I must really say, ever since I got the spatial element, everything is easy. Do you want to see something?"

He asked as he threw a fireball at her. When she threw her own at it to defend, the golden fireball disappeared from the spot and appeared right in front of her face.

"See? Within a specific range, my attacks don't even miss anymore."

Beryl got up and threw another flaming punch at Sam. But Sam blinked on the spot and reappeared a few feet away, exactly out of range by a hair's breadth. Beryl started getting annoyed.

This is the most frustrated she has ever been in her life and at the same time as time passed, she felt more and more nervous and afraid of what her fate would be.

This is like the last struggle as she used everything in her arsenal to attack Sam, but he defended easily. Soon, Beryl is facing the consequences of using too much energy in such unstable conditions as her attacking streak was halted in the middle as she spat a mouthful of blood.

Beryl suddenly calmed down instantly. The raging black flames are gone and she looked at Sam as if she was lost for a second and suddenly something in her seemed to have changed.

Her eyes became brighter and then Sam recalled that soul extraction. The memory was halted by two eyes.

Currently, her eyes resembled the very same eyes.

Sam instantly made his move. His expression became serious as he ran towards her and blinked as he disappeared and reappeared behind her.

Beryl turned towards him and blocked his attack while launching her own.

Sam used the repel style which is actually her forte and jumped upwards using her own force and before she knew it, he took out a small cage and slammed towards her.

The thunder prison was activated after a long time as it captured Beryl and Sam landed right beside it.

Beryl crazily attacked the lightning walls of the prison, but there is no use.

Sam can actually keep some stronger people inside the thunder prison and it unlocked a lot of its strength with his cultivation. There is no way a person with the same level of cultivation would escape.

Sam watched as she crazily attacked the thunder prison, used the transference scroll, and many other attacks, she is even using her blood art.

She behaved like a mental patient.

Once she calmed down, Sam finally spoke.

"It seems like you are exhausted. Aren't you goddess Hel?"

Beryl looked at Sam coldly and then burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha… Since when did you figure out?"

"Right now actually. It is just speculation until you confirmed it."

"Since you know this, then leave me alone, then I wouldn't bother to pursue this matter."

Sam just smiled at her cocky request and his smile gave her chills.
