nSam is currently in the middle of the forest.

nHe is in a makeshift camp near a stream. He is currently fiddling with that large metallic ball. He is reinserting the spikes inside and filled the gas and bio-fuel along with the poison so that it can be used again.

nHe actually made this because the feathered are flying creatures and the rapid work of this ball with which it throws the spikes and set them ablaze is good enough to target them when they are in the air.

nAnd all he has to do is kick with proper timing and position using fire element.

nBut that is not the only thing it can do. He can think of other ways to use it.

nHe started grilling a piece of meat as he prepared for lunch.

nWhile he is eating, the wights and the ghouls returned to him along with a bunch of undead creatures.

n

"Keep them for now, they are for sending gifts to the city. But before that, we have to make it so that the feathered would be afraid of coming out of the city.

"

nThe Wights and Ghouls stayed silent.

"You can go and cultivate for a while, don't hold back with the trees and corpses.

"

nSam said and the two groups left into the forest excitedly.

nAfter they left, the beasts came back.

nThey all went to hunt on their own. Except for the Ape of course.

nThis guy became even pickier than Sam after he started brewing alcohol. Sometimes Sam is tempted to make a suit for the ape when he thought of how elegant and graceful his way of doing things are. But every time he thought of that, Yanwu or Raiju would piss the ape off by drinking a vat of wine and all hell will break lose.

nThe rest of the beasts would be munching on the food as they watched the fight.

nThat is the most entertaining thing ever in the divine dimension.

nThe ape is currently collecting the fruit trees and bringing them back. As for the rest of the beasts, they are having a competition. They wants to see who can find the better pray.

nSam looked at all the corpses which are now essentially meat and couldn't help but feel a bit lost. That is too much food and he is the one who has to prepare them.

nWith him around, the beasts are not eating as barbarically as they should. Sometimes they eat cooked food, if not at least, he has to skin the corpses and cut the meat into boneless pieces for them to eat. In this aspect, they are all acting like spoiled children.

nHe called for the shadows and made them help with the work as the beasts munched on the meat they hunted.

nAfter the meal, he sent them all back into the divine dimension and called for the Ghouls are Wights who are also having the time of their lives and threw them back in the chess board as he started his journey towards the city on harbinger.

nHe travelled for three hours before he can clearly see the city.

nThere are many feathered in uniforms roaming around the forest guarding it carefully.

nHe is currently standing on a tree branch with thick vegetation and used the telescope he got from the black cloaked force in the Charbhum realm.

nHe got a clear view of the city.

nEven though it is called a city, it is basically an establishment in the forest.

nThe trees are not completely cleared off, there are many of them but just widely spread.

nEven the paths are not too wide for walking as they are mostly flying around. Maybe that is the reason they didn't bother with clearing forest too much.

nEvery house is made of some brown stone and the one structure that caught his eye the most is the temple in the middle.

nAnd there is a large engraving on the stone temple indicating a name.

n

"Silva.

"

nMaybe this is the name of the city or something but that was the only thing indicating anything about the city.

nThis place is going to see hell soon anyway. He is not going to let them off the hook easily.

nBut as he said to the Wights and the Ghouls before, he has to let these people not get out of the city for a while and make sure that they stay in the city for a while.

nHe is near the main entrance which was also the only visible entrance.

nEven though it is made in the forest, there is a large city wall separating it from the beasts.

nSam retreated a bit and didn't let the guards notice him, he reached a little patch with no trees, and took the chess board once again.

nThe Orangutans appeared.

nBut this time, they are a lot meeker and afraid when they saw Sam.

nAll this while, they are being properly taken care of by the rest of the chess teams within the chessboard. Sam constantly put them under the stress of chess games one after another before they finally got some sense or to be precise lost all their sense of their blind arrogance and cheekiness.

nNow they are going to perfectly listen to what is going to say.

nThe sixteen Orangutans stood in attention.

n

"Stay within this region of the forest and capture every feathered you can. Break a few bones and make immobile, I will be camping here temporarily and bring them here.

nDo everything discreetly, no large movements, no attention gathering.

"

nThe Orangutans nodded their heads and went into the forests. Even though the forests are not as dense and lush as their original home, they are dense enough for them to easily get mixed in. These Purple Orangutans can become living nightmares for the next few days.

nAnd they did exactly what Sam wanted, while he is taking his time to train in the forest, for the next week Sam was already given a bunch of Feathered by the Orangutans.

nThese Orangutans might have lost their cheekiness, but they didn't lose their cunning battle tactics, they are only sixteen of them, but they still didn't target a group more than four feathered. They are that cautious.

nBut that is also okay with Sam.

nWhen they were brought to him, he broke the wings and sealed their cultivations and even their mouths. The only moving parts in their bodies are the legs and their spiritual energy is also sealed.

nHe created a large hole in the ground and lined it up with rocks creating a temporary dungeon with ventilation enough to let them breath.

nThere are over a dozen of them.

nHe could have collected them in the chess board, but he is a person who values quality over quantity, he is extremely picky when choosing proper chess pieces for the game and he is not interested in selecting whatever piece that falls in to his hands.

nAfter this week, Sam made the Orangutans stay down a bit and only target the solo feathered that came near the camp.

nSam is already using many concealing formations, so his camp is not visible for most people, at least not from far away, but there is a chance if they come and check it from close based on their expertise, so he didn't want to take chance.

nHis prisoners soon built up.

nThis didn't go unnoticed by the city and the authorities though.

nThe Black winged leader already got the report of this the second day itself, but they still couldn't see any results.

nMeanwhile within the temple. In the pool.

nArkiv felt like his body is light as a feather, but his head is heavy as lead.

nHe opened his eyes, at first it was all blurry, but then it was greeted by something he didn't expect at all.

n

"You are awake.

"

nThe feathered captain who attacked Sam and Arkiv is sitting opposite to him in the same pool, the white wing grew back and she is using those wings to cover her naked body.

nHe became alert and was about to make a move, but his whole body is feeling sore and painful.

n

"Don't even bother trying, you are in no position to move now.

" The captain said once again.

nArkiv looked around and realized that he is in the pool naked, he instinctually covered his private parts before asking.

n

"Where am I? What happened to Sam? Why am I here?

"

n

"You are Silva city. My city. This is the temple of Goddess Nike. You are currently in the healing pool. You were injured heavily.

"

n

"Yeah, I wonder whose doing that is?

"

nHe said in mock anger.

n

"What is your name?

" She asked with a sigh.

n

"Arkiv. You didn't even know my name and you even attacked me?

"

n

"I don't remember your name, you were not my target. Your friend was my target.

"

n

"Yeah, then why bother attacking me?

"

nShe didn't want to speak and just shook her head in silence.

n

"From the looks of it, you are also injured pretty badly. Sam must have done a number on you.

"

nShe looked at him and said.

n

"Yeah, he did. But what can I say, it is a death match and this is price I had to pay for his death.

"

nShe said as she looked at his eyes directly expecting a reaction. But the expected reaction never came.

n

"Such a beautiful girl, poor thing. He must have hit you too hard on your head and now you are imagining things. I apologize on his behalf, that brute has no respect or consideration for the beauties like you. He was always that ruthless.

"

nThe captain became angry and wanted to rage, but she is also in no condition to move and said.

n

"Why are you so sure that he didn't die? It is not impossible for me to kill him. I did give him a fair fight.

"

n

"Yeah, you could. In your dreams.

"

n

"You…

"

nArkiv just kept on observing the architecture without caring for her annoyance.
