Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sam is looking at Arthur and the remaining two. The contents of three recording crystals have already played and the three guests have seen the three battles.

Sam has sent three people to follow them and record the battles if occurred and send it back to him.

And he made this not for the purpose of showing them to Arthur and others, just in case if something happened, Sam would have a specific target to focus on.

He did give them some trump cards so that they can escape in some cases.

Even though the recording crystals didnʼt capture everything in the battle particularly in Philipʼs case, they still have the most critical parts.

After showing the three recordings, Sam leaned back and relaxed as he observed the change in the facial expressions of the three ʼguestsʼ.

”If the information you have is about these kinds of threats, then you can keep it to yourselves, I have faith in my friends.”

Arthur was conflicted. This means, that Sam has already made some preparations for these kinds of scenarios. And from what he saw the three of them are not some easy targets, they can still hold on their own. Even in the powers like thunder god temple, they would elite group.

Sam spoke again, interrupting Arthurʼs thoughts.

”Arthur, how are you doing in the Thunder god temple? How are Arman and Nicholas doing?”

His sudden question surprised Arthur, but when he heard the second part, his face became incredibly ugly.

He clearly understood what Sam is implying.

Arman has become his long-term rival and to his dismay, the appearance of Nicholas is giving him even more pressure.

He might be the current heir of the Thundergod temple, due to him being the descendant of the current head and him being the best among his generation, but now with the appearance of these two people, his position is in trouble.

Sam continued.

”I know why you guys are here, you want a shadow sword, but that is not gonna happen. Nobody can take any of my possessions unless I give them up myself.

Your mission is an utter failure. I can kill you right now without any problem. And your thunder god temple doesnʼt even have to trouble themselves to be a substitute and I even doubt that they sent you here as cannon fodder. After all, with all the news your organization possibly got, I donʼt believe they donʼt know my involvement in the destruction of Orion, and even with that, they still sent you.

You seem to have been forsaken by your organization, what a pity.”

Sam said in a rather melancholic tone. Arthurʼs expression kept on changing. Because he knew all about the whole destruction of Orion thing. Sam really did play a deciding role, in fact, he is the cause of all, although there is not much of his battle prowess involved in all this and only his tricks and resourcefulness along with the unique thinking, the organization should have foreseen the scenarios where Sam is going to take necessary precautions.

But they didnʼt seem to do so. They even sent him here as a dead giveaway. He is even thinking that the behavior of the remaining three is also due to this.

But he doesnʼt know that the three of them just merely wanted to throw their weight around a big shot like him so that they can satisfy their egos and neither did the thunder god temple knew that due to the immature acts of someone, Arthur the heir and the number one seeded candidate for temple head position is doubting the whole organization.

All it took was some words from Sam and his train of thoughts is running wildly.

Sam spoke again at this moment.

”I donʼt have any advantages in killing you, so I can let you go if you can give me enough reason to do so,” Sam said in a casual tone and Arthur started thinking rapidly, he wanted to say something about thunder god temple retaliating but he didnʼt say it in the end.

All six powers are on Samʼs heels now, the threat is useless. He wanted to offer money but remembered that Sam has a lot more of it than he could give him. He was running out of ideas when Sam said again.

”I want to make a deal with you, to be precise with the whole thunder god temple and I want you to be the mediator of it. Of course, you can benefit from it along the way as you would get the mediator commission.

You want to listen?” Sam asked with a smile.

Immediately Arthur became excited, now that there is a chance for him to live, he would take it with open arms.

”I am ready.”

”Then, for that, you have to wait for five months, after five months I will give you a deal that you wouldnʼt resist until then be my guest, you can stay within the vicinities of the city try the delicacies and stay in whatever place you want except for the restricted areas, but of course there will be a leash on the amount of power you could generate.

Meanwhile. Please do inform thunder god temple about the deal I want to make and ask them to not disturb my friends and me.”

With those words, Sam left the place and Feliciaʼs brother came forward and placed some sort of bracelets on three of them before untying them from the chairs.

They could move around as they wanted but they can only access a faint amount of spiritual energy, barely enough to use the spatial rings and such.

After that, Sam left that place and got busy. It has been almost a month since he came back from the island.

He is staying with the Shadow sword all this while as he tried to get a reaction from it. It is high time, he had a breakthrough again as for the beast, he planned to use the shadow mouse as his next beast.

All this time, he kept a shadow mouse as a reserve without using it when he reached the Great realm.

Now, he doesnʼt have any beast to make a contract with, only options being the ape, zoi termite, and the shadow mouse.

Among them, Shadow mouse is the best choice depending on the abilities he can gain.

Initially, he wanted to keep the shadow mouse aside and decided to explore the planet for beasts which would be suitable for him to make a contract and only use it when he doesnʼt have any other choice, but he didnʼt think that the scenario will arise this quickly.

Now, he is stopping from breakthrough, because of the shadow sword.

The curse weapon will give the wielder a chance and that is a mental battle. If Sam broke through, the shadow sword would use the mental strength of a Rank-5 weapon, which he is not confident in facing.

Within the Great realm, he is confident that his mental strength is strongest and he is confident in subduing the shadow sword in its rank-4 state.

Time passed and exactly a month after his return from the island, the shadow sword finally showed some reaction.

The silk that was wrapped on the sword was completely shredded and the whole room was filled with the sword and dark aura. Every object inside the room was completely being slashed and the walls are also being cracked.

Sam is looking at the whole scene as he sat in a chair before the sword and after ten seconds, he placed his hands on the hilt and his arm was cut apart with his muscles completely torn. His hand was bleeding and even his bones are visible.

The room was completely full of the dark creepy aura. Sam suddenly felt an extreme cold and a voice appeared in his mind.

”Human, release me.” The voice is sharp and cold.

Sam didnʼt reply and his spiritual sense enveloped the sword.

”A Great realm cultivator wants to wield me? Do you think that you are worthy? Human, you are overestimating your worth.”

With those words, Samʼs consciousness disappeared from his body and when he opened his eyes, he was in a dark world. Everything he could see was complete darkness.

Within that darkness ahead of him were two eyes that are oozing some black smoke. For some reason, he could still perceive the eyes within the dark.

This is the spirit world of the sword, where they would undergo a battle.

Sam could see his whole ʼbodyʼ which is made of his consciousness being suppressed, but with a mere thought he resisted and the suppression was gone. The dark eyes looked at Sam deeply and a voice echoed.

”You are not that bad, you can at least perceive me and resist the suppression, but that doesnʼt mean, you can wield me. I highly doubt you can control me.”

With those words, the darkness around him morphed and dark vine-like things started crawling all over him.

He could feel the energy being devoured slowly but surely, the spirit was surprised because Samʼs mental strength was too dense. Unlike other people who metal strength would be like water or even a gas, Samʼs strength was like a solid brick.

This was the first time, the spirit has to use this much effort to absorb the mental strength.

Sam observed the movements for a while and he made his move.

His mental strength started morphing itself and took the shape of a sword. The sword was glowing brightly with dense light.

He swung the sword as the dark vines were severed immediately and disintegrated. At that place, there seemed to be a grey patch formed.

When he observed his body though, there is a small portion which was blackened.

He immediately understood. This is like a game. If he was blackened completely, he would lose and he would suffer severe mental damage and if the whole black area was grey out, then he would win and the shadow sword would be his.

Sam held the sword tightly, a black humanoid figure formed in front of him with a black sword in its hand. A sword fight was triggered in a battle to gain the acceptance of a sword.
