nSam's frown deepened. Because of their perilous situation, he assumed that Giyon just really doesn't want him to get involved in this get hurt. Not because she cared for him, but there are a lot of plans depending on him for her and her brother's future.

nHe has been in the situation before, so he didn't think much into it.

nBut now that the Black Witch highlighted it, he couldn't help but think that way.

nEven Giyon's expression has changed slightly and Sam became more and more suspicious.

n

"Why are you guys here? Is it just to kill the clans and organizations?

"

n

"*pfft* you really went with that answer Giyon?

" The Black witch laughed out loud

n

"SHUT UP.

" Giyon threw a punch at her face.

nBut all of a sudden a huge amount of dark elemental energy converged into a bunch of spikes and expanded towards the whole group of them.

nGiyon and the subordinates, immediately jumped back to save themselves.

nThe darkness went back into her shadow and the Black witch spun the knuckle knives over her fingers leisurely as she stepped forward.

n

"I don't know why you want to hide the information from Sam, but I guess revealing it will piss you off. So, let me do the honour.

nOur primary reason is not to exterminate the Gaja clan, it is to take away the quadruplets that are newly born here. Currently, someone is already on the task.

nEven though I am a member of the Divine league, I am not particularly fond of the gods and stuff. I only acted because I heard a lightning strike infused with dark elemental energy also happen that day and one of the four would be of dark elemental energy constitution that the world hasn't seen in dozens of centuries.

nSo, I want to take that kid as my disciple.

nAs for why you are my target, it is very simple.

nYou took the blame for the lightning to make sure that the kids' situation is not revealed. So, you definitely knew what is so special about the child.

nI want to have someone under me who knows and understands these constitutions better. I also heard that you are an expert at formations and inscriptions. Your inventions as an artisan are mind-blowing.

nI would take you in and you just help me train this child. I will make her the best dark elemental user in the whole history.

"

n

"Why do you want to take her as your disciple in the first place?

" Sam asked calmly. He didn't even show any anger or rage regarding the children and the massacre that is occurring at the moment because of them just being in the clan.

nHe is calm and cool-headed. This surprised Giyon.

nThe very reason that she hid the news is that she knew that Sam couldn't keep a cool head when he was being tested on personal matters.

nShe knew how involved Sam became when it came to kids in the past few months. That is why she didn't want Sam to go overboard and try to go on a new rampage at the moment.

nSo, she tried to hide this matter as much as she can. She also wanted to go and confirm what the kids' situation is after throwing Sam into the divine dimension fragment.

nBut she didn't expect him to keep a cool head now. At least nobody sane would after thinking about how he reacted to the word bastard.

nThe Black witch looked at Sam with intrigue. She could see that his fear is reducing by every second. At first, his body language is pretty guarded, but now he is much more open than before.

nShe doesn't know what he is thinking of doing, but she became very interested.

n

"I have a pretty weird constitution as you can see. But it took me decades to recognize it, but all it took for you is a few minutes.

nBecause of the delayed realization, I wasn't able to use my body to its full potential. By the time I realized what I could do with it, it was already very late.

nI learned a lot regarding the dark elemental energy and what we can actually do with it, but it was too late to utilize the knowledge on myself. Now, I am looking for a progeny. I want to train someone who will leave a mark on the history of this world.

nAnd I want to be recognized as the teacher of that person.

nThat is the reason why the Divine league successfully managed to convince me.

"

nAs The Black witch lost herself while talking and thinking about the glorious life ahead, Giyon and her subordinates made a move.

nBut as soon as they took the step forward, the shadow manifested once again and spikes protruded out of it keeping everyone at bay.

n

"Enough playtime. I wasted too much time already. I will finish you guys off and be on my way.

"

nAs soon as she said that the spikes turned into vines as they coiled around the weaker subordinates and started sucking up their vitality.

nSam was standing there calmly until they extended his metal arm forward and the finger hole opened up. He aimed it at a point that is neither too close nor too far from the Black witch and shot an energy bullet.

n*BOOM*

nThe energy bullet landed there and a small explosion happened.

nThe Black witch looked at Sam with a frown as she couldn't understand why he did that, but the next second she felt something weird.

nSam frowned as he shot the energy bullet at the same spot again, but this time, he shot it with the ripple style.

nThe energy ripples reacted as Sam observed them with energy vision.

nHe didn't use the ripple style to a full extent, but just scraped the surface of his expertise with the shot.

nHe increased the intensity of the ripple with every shot and finished five.

n

"What are you doing?

"

nThe black witch asked Sam. She is getting a bit spooked and even threw the subordinates she is sucking the vitality of and tried to walk towards Sam.

n

"Sam at least now, get into the divine dimension. We will try to escape. I don't think we can win against her.

"

nGiyon said as she attacked her.

nBut nothing couldn't budge Sam as he ignored every single yell coming from both allies and enemy.

nAs he was doing that, all of a sudden, the Black witch felt her shadow squirm because of the energy ripples.

nSam stopped and looked at the witch with a smile.

nHis smile suddenly sent chills down her spine.

n

"You just said that you didn't realize the full potential of the constitution you have, that also means that you don't know the full weakness it has. Too bad, you came across me.

"

nAs he said he aimed the finger at the same spot, but instead of an energy bullet, a needle appeared there.

nThe needle was shot at that one spot along with the ripple style. With an exact intensity that Sam has just figured out.

nThe needle is carrying the curse that is filled with soul attacks of the spectre.

nThat is the only preparation Sam could do without any help from Grivon and Giyon, so he did a lot.

nAs soon as the soul attack filled with the needle landed on the spot with the ripple energy, the Black Shadow of the Black Witch that is holding the subordinates and Giyon down vibrated crazily.

n*SCREECCH*

nIt screeched as if it is an individual entity and the Black witch also felt like she is losing control over the energy.

n

"The first lesson that the constitution holder of the Black shadow constitution needs to go through is to learn the energy control.

nThe modification of the shadow would be most efficient and effective only if a person has the highest mastery over energy.

nThat is something you clearly don't have. And you have a mouth that is way too big and an ego that is way too inflated. You shouldn't speak so much in front of a person like me.

"

nAs he spoke, another needle landed at the same spot and Black witch felt like she lost control over her shadow.

nGiyon and her subordinates took his chance and started throwing attacks as their life depended on it.

nThey didn't hold back at all and started throwing everything that they stored until then.

nSam shot the third needle and The Black Witch had enough of it. She hid her shadow back and used dark elemental fusion to jump forward and lunge at Sam.

n

"You don't know when to take an olive branch, do you? I don't know what you did to my shadow, but since you know the weakness, there is no way I could let you live. You are going to die today.

"

nSam stepped back and stopped shooting.

nOf course, that didn't help, because as soon as he stopped shooting and she is out of the range of the ripples, she directly caught up to Sam.

n
