Chapter 105 - 3 Vs 1

After walking for an hour, Jason and Austin were finally able to meet up with Sam who has a deep wound on his leg while resting by a pillar.

"What happened to you Sam, how come you ended up like this" asked Austin with a frown on his face.

"I never expected my family member would just attack me out of nowhere" replied Sam with a painful look on his face.

"Wait a minute, did you just say someone from your family actually attacked you" asked Jason with a serious look on his face.

"Yeah it just came unexpectedly and I was lucky that I could escape with my life" replied Sam as he let out a sigh.

"Do you still remember what he looks like" asked Jason while paying close attention so as to not miss any details?

"Well, he has this crazy smile on his face with a blank look on his face. Then there is the strange aura that is coming out of him" replied Sam as he began to recount how he looked. 

"What about his cultivation, were there any changes to it" asked Jason.

"Normally, he used to be at the peak of the first stage of the foundation realm but when he came out to me, he was already in the peak of the second stage of the foundation realm" replied Sam.

"Just as I thought, it looks like you came across one of the possessed" said Jason as he placed a hand on his cheek like someone who is in a deep thought.

"The possessed what" asked Sam with a confused look on his face.

"You see after we went our separate ways, I came across a member of the Fox family with a member of your family who was also acting the same way as the one you just mentioned" replied Jason. 

"Since they have come for you, it may be certain that the others have also encountered the same thing" said Austin.

"So what are we supposed to do now" asked Sam.

"Isn't it obvious, we are going to look for the others and reunite before they take us down one by one" suggested Jason.

"I agreed with you but the problem is, how am I supposed to tag along with you guys based on my current state" asked Sam.

Instead of answering him, Jason walked up to him before squatting down as he asked.

"For how long have you been injured".

"It should be within thirty minutes if I am not mistaken" replied Sam as he took a look at his injured leg.

"Have you tried using the pills that were given to you" asked Jason.

"I lost them when I was being chased" replied Sam with a sigh.

"Since you have lost yours, why don't you use mine" said Jason as he stretched his hand forward with two pills in hand.

"You are letting me have it" asked Sam with a stunning look on his face.

"Sure or is there something wrong with it" asked Jason with a smile on his face. 

"Not at all, it just kind of seemed surprising for you to hand a pill to another family" replied Sam as he took the pill from his hand.

They waited for Sam to consume the pill before the wound on his leg began to heal until there was no longer any cut on him and that was when they began to look for the rest.

"That reminds me, how were you able to run away from them" asked Sam after walking for some time.

"I have my ways of shaking my enemies off" replied Jason with a smile.

"Taking mysterious are we" said Sam with a light chuckle.

"What is the best way to shake someone off if not to make a run for it with your legs. By the way, my problem now is how are we going to find whatever that is causing all this and put an end to it" replied Jason with a serious look on his face.

"Do you really think that someone or something is behind it" asked Sam as he turned to Jason for an answer.

"I have my guest but the thing now is how to locate where it is hidden" replied Jason.

"That would be a difficult task for us" said Sam.

"What a minute, are you buying what he is saying" asked Austin.

"I have seen it for myself and the person that attacked me was one of our own so I am very familiar with his strength, for him to influence such damage on me, say it all" replied Sam.

"It is good to see that someone is on my side and I believe if you were to go through the same thing, you would have also agreed with me" added Jason with a smile.

"Whatever you say man, but the fact still remains that it won't be easy to find whatever that is causing it" replied Austin.

"It pains me that you did not encounter any of them, else you won't be acting like this" said Jason.

"Now you are wishing me bad" commented Austin.

Choosing to ignore Austin, they continue to search for the rest but no matter how they search, they were still unable to find any of them and they were beginning to have second thoughts.

"Do you think that they are already dead" asked Sam after some silence.

"Although they are strong, it would still be difficult for Adam and the rest to be easily taken out" said Jason.

"Yeah it would really be difficult but that will be the case that they were ambushed just like I was" asked Sam.

"It still won't be easy, you know I am still wondering how you end up hurt when you are not also weak" said Austin.

"Actually I was busy with something and didn't notice that I was in trouble" replied Sam with an awkward laugh.

"So you are also a greedy fellow like Austin here who got locked up all because he was treasure hunting" said Jason as he began to laugh at the two.

"You are talking like you are any better than us" commented Austin.

"What are you talking about, I didn't ask for help from anyone unlike you and I wasn't injured like Sam here" said Jason as he started laughing at them.

"Someone seems to be happy about himself here" commented Austin.

"What can I say, I made it out.." Said Jason as he was not able to complete the statement and there seemed to see a frown on his face.

"What is it Jason" asked Austin who was surprised by the change of expression on his face. 

"There seems to be one of the possessed here, so you better get ready" replied Jason as he swung the halberd to the side.

"Where is it 'cause I can't find anything" asked Sam as he also let his sword off the scabbard. 

"Don't worry, you will be able to see it soon but this one seems to be a little bit stronger" replied Jason.

'How come he can notice that there was one of the possessed among us' thought Austin to himself as he also took out his sword.

They waited for some minute for the possessed to show himself and it didn't take long before he did and when Sam saw who it was, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide in shock as he said.

"He was the one that attacked me but it seems to have grown stronger compared to before".

"You mean this was the possessed that attacked you" asked Austin with a shocked look on his face as he was just seeing it for the first time.

"Yeah that's him alright" replied Sam as he grip the handle of the sword tightly in anger.

"I think it has taken a life since he has gained an increase in his realm" said Jason as he suggested.

"Then I think we should take care of it before it becomes a lot stronger for us to handle" commented Austin.

"With our three, it shouldn't be a problem for us to take it down" replied Jason.

After thinking of how they are going to deal with the possessed, they move out as they let out attack after attack but to their surprise, the possessed seem to be faster than their attack as he quickly avoids the attack like it was nothing before dashing at them as he body slams Austin backward while crashing into one of the walls.

Austin quickly got up as he wiped out the trail of blood in his lip before running to join the battle once more.. Meanwhile, after seeing that Austin was sent flying by just being run into by the possessed, they started avoiding body contact with the possessed but still, they couldn't avoid getting injured by the possessed as Sam was kicked back while Jason took a slash on his shoulder.
