Chapter 124 - Symbol 2

nWhen the sword was about land on him, Sam raised his left hand and caught the blade between his thumb and index finger.
nThe claws and the sword blade gave a clanking sound of metal, but the clash of the spiritual energy buried the small clanking.
nBoth of the fighters didn't step back at all. Sam swung his right arm, but the other party blocked it with his sword, but the wind tailing the claw, was so sharp and just like before, it made its way to other party's chest.
nThis time, the damage isn't much but it is still there.
nSoon, both of them exchanged blows, every time, both of them blocked each other's attacks, but the middle-aged man was taking damage.
nThe damage is slowly accumulating. He started losing blood.
nThe middle-aged man suddenly stopped and took the blood with his fingers.
n
"You are better than I thought.
" Middle-aged man looked at Sam and started drawing something on the sword which seemed like some runic inscriptions.
nThen his life force started seeping out of his body and accumulated into the sword.
n
"Master gave me the mission to stop anyone from disturbing him, But from the looks of it I will die if the fight goes one for long run and it seemed that you are also looking for that, i don't believe you have what it takes to make a powerful move in an instant.
nSo, if you take this last move of mine, I will immediately….
"
n*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*
nBefore he could finish something whistled over the wind and three deep gashes were made on the middle-aged man's throat.
nSam waved his hand and caught three cards in his hands. These are made of normal metals, similar to Watt's but the only difference is Sam's signature symbol was imprinted on it.
nSam wiped the blood on the cards to his pants and stored them away as he looked at the fallen body of the middle-aged man and said.
n
"You talk too much in a fight.
"
nAfter that, Sam slowly stepped inside the house.
nIn the hall, the count is in sitting inside a inscription circle made out of blood and Jasmine was put to sleep and laid on the other end of the circle.
nThe count is making some chants and occasionally a small part of the circle was being lit up. The Count seemed to not notice the new presence and seemed to be too involved in the ritual.
nSam didn't care and was moved towards Jasmine. The other party is actually stronger than him and is out of his reach. If he battled him without holding back, he might have a chance, but Jasmine will surely be involved in collateral damage.
nWhen he was about to step into the circle, he was stopped by some kind of restriction which seemed to be caused by the inscriptions.
nHe didn't have any patience to understand and break the inscription. He placed his hand on the floor and closed his eyes. The floor suddenly turned into powder in the place near his hand.
nThe inscription was forcefully broken and the Count was sent flying as he spurted some blood.
nSam also took a few steps back to the backlash, but most of the backlash was taken by the Count.
nHe slowly stood up and walked towards Jasmine. Seeing that she is still in unconscious state, he checked whether there is any other problem and after confirming that there are none, he immediately sent her into the divine dimension.
nHe then looked at the Count, who also stood up.
n
"How dare you come here? Do you have no plans of living? You should have obediently fled when you got the news that girl is abducted.
"
nThe Count who seemed to taken some serious hit, took wiped the blood on his mouth.
nSam didn't say anything, instead he took out some normal swords and started stabbing them around him. Before the count could make sense of the things, more than three formation activated around Sam.
nHe took out some diluted indigo water, and started heating it up. The indigo coloured vapour started forming as he forced the gas to stay in the wind sphere.
nCount sensed something is wrong and immediately moved. He also seemed to be a warrior and he took out a sword and attacked the Sam, but the formation stopped the attack.
nSam just stared nonchalantly and drew more and more indigo vapour into the sphere and started compressing it. As he did so, the compressed gas was now in size of an egg.
nCount continuously attacked and after five blows, Sam the formation broke. But the very moment, Sam immediately threw the compressed gas into the Count's mouth and immediately jumped back creating a distance.
nThe other party immediately tried to move, but he felt something was wrong with his body, when he looked inside with his spiritual sense, he could see his lungs and heart are being spread out with an indigo hue.
nHis blood was suddenly filled with strange toxins and his organs are being corroded. He knelt down as his legs grew weak.
nNever did he expect that he would fall for such a trick.
nSam slowly walked towards him as he saw that his ploy worked. In fact, he doesn't have much energy left. If he fought directly, he will have very low chance of winning.
nThat is the reason, he played such a trick. The indigo vapor might have seemed like a special attack, but it is a poison, so if the Count has stayed far away and cautious, he might have been able to avoid inhaling it.
nBut the over confident Count who saw Sam's exhausted condition, thought that this is an easy win.
nSam picked the count up and dragged him outside of the mansion.
nThe teammates were stunned, by this time some nobles and other officials also made their way here, all the city guards who are below Novice are also here. When they saw Sam's state they had goosebumps.
nEven with all the wounds and blood, he walked with his back straight without a hint of pain in his eyes.
nSam looked around and found his golden staff. He erected the staff in the ground and tied up the Count to it.
nHe walked towards all the Corpses and started piling them in front of Count.
nThe day is far from over.
nSam thought it over after what Philip said.
nHe has to make it known to the world that he shouldn't be messed with.
nAnd he is determined to create a symbol for that message.
nA symbol which will indicate all the others to stay away from him, a symbol which will serve as the warning to others.
nWhen his teammates offered to help, Sam didn't agree and did all the work on his own.
nAfter piling up the corpses, which are more intact, he took out the blood extraction device he made, as well as his forging equipment. He couldn't care less about his storage capacity being revealed.
nHe took out all the equipment that he would be needing and placed them around.
nHe started extracting the blood from the corpses and filled the cauldron with it.
nAfter sometime, all the corpses were free of blood.
nSam placed his hands inside the blood and started observing as he simultaneously heated it up. Soon, there is a blood red vapour emitting from it.
nBut there is a solid forming in the middle, after some time, all the liquid was gone and only a lump of blood coloured solid was the only thing remained inside the cauldron.
nSam took out the lump and placed it on the anvil. He took out his hammer and started beating it.
nAfter some red coloured soft textured powder was collapsed, a metal clanking sound came.
nThis is the blood iron. A metal on par with Meteorite sand.
nSam looked at the big lump of blood iron. He then walked towards the cauldron and cleaned it up, before placing the blood iron inside the cauldron. He placed a hand on it and made it into powder form.
nHe started his process.
nMelting the blood iron.
nMaking a billet by casting.
nHeating and rolling it into a sheet in rolling process.
nAfter the sheet is done, Sam divided the large sheet into two, one big and one small one.
nHe took the big one and started his forging process. He heated it and started folding it. He is using the Japanese forging technique and he is also making a Japanese blade.
nHe heated, folded, hammered. The impurities remaining in the blood iron started appearing and accumulating at one side.
nHe removed them and re-forged it again and again.
nSoon, a blood red Katana was formed. Sam placed the dagger, knives and all the auxiliary equipment he made with Black meteorite sand into the cauldron to make two hilts. He fixed one to the Katana blade.
nThen he proceeded to the smaller sheet and forged to make a Wakizashi. After fixing the second hilt.
nSam took out the Black meteorite thread that was remained after making his coat, to make a grip on the hits of the two blades.
nAfter everything was done, Sam took once again heated the blades and placed them on the anvil.
nHe wore his claws and used his index finger to carve on the blade.
nOn the katana he wrote 'Executioner'
nOn the Wakizashi he wrote 'Reaper'
nSam held two blades towards the Count.
nHe slashed with the two blades with making a cross on his body ending his life.
n
"From now on, these two blades shall act as that symbol which serves as warning to the whole world. These two blades shall be the ones showing to what extent I Sam will go. I would like to see which moron would like to mess with me.
" Sam muttered.
nThen he walked towards his teammates and let Jasmine out of the dimension. Even though, a lot of them were surprised, they didn't have any thoughts of asking questions.
nThey took her and checked her condition.
nSam stepped back and sat on the stairs of the mansion. Suddenly, all the exhaustion came on to him and just as he was about to fall backwards, he felt a soft furry thing. He looked up to see the ape rubbing Sam's head gently.
nYanwu and Sky came to him and stood on the either side.
nSam closed his eyes and slept peacefully.
nWhen the teammates looked at the serious expressions of the beasts and avoided the thoughts of checking on him.
nJust as Hawk was about to seal the news, Philip said.
n
"Don't, let the news spread. In fact, order them to spread the news. I would really want to see who will go against Sam after this incident. This day and this incident will serve as warning to all the world. This world might as well have a glimpse of what Sam can do if he is pissed.
nAfter all, Sam made all this effort to send a message.
n
"A sixteen year old Level 7 Novice, battle against 300 Novices and a Great Warrior and slaughtered all of them just because they abducted his teammate.
" When Philip said these words, the rest of the teammates shivered just by the thought of what would happen if Sam was their enemy
