The next day, the three ghosts arrived at Sam’s room at the inn.
As Sam asked, they captured a lot of ghosts and specters in the Dark range Overnight. They have a lot of them. They felt that they would be enough.
But as soon as Sam welcomed them in and asked them to show the ghosts, he only had one thing to say.
"They are not enough."
He really believed that they are not enough. The soul purgatory curse is not for the body, it is for the soul. The only advantage they have against the Chimera is that they know that it is a Chimera.
No matter how much a single consciousness overpowers the rest of the consciouses in the Chimera, it is impossible to eliminate the parts of those souls. It would take a long time for all of these souls to strictly merge into one.
Until then, all the conflicting negative elements would still be present, even after the other party manifests the artificial core. That is also one of the reasons these things are dangerous when they just get the cores. They would have power, and the ability to stabilize it and contain it and finally they would have this sentience that would be constantly affected by these conflicting negative emotions.
There is nothing good that would come out of it.
And soul purgatory is actually a similar curse, but the negative emotions are used as fuel to create something that is equivalent to what fire is to a normal body. This soul flame of sorts along with the formation will make the soul trapped inside burn based on the negative emotions of the other party.
Sam explained it all to the three ghosts and pointed out why the specters and ghosts are not enough. Because the chimera is too powerful. If they couldn’t inflict a pain proportionate to its power, then they might as well not attempt it.
"We will make do for now. You can go get some late."
Sam said and started teaching the purgatory curse formation to them. He made them merge one ghost after another and one specter after another into the formation and also made them understand what kind of ghosts go first, and how consistent they should be to have the proper formation.
After all the ghosts and specters were used up. Sam kicked them out and made them go back to the dark range to collect more.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey came back the next day.
This routine went on for a few days and finally, the formation was complete.
After that, they didn’t waste any time and made their way to the Valley. Sam really didn’t want to waste his time, doing nothing. He has all the time in his world but at the same time very limited time.
He is afraid that the chimera he left behind for Sivan might not be of help for a long time. If that really happens, things wouldn’t go well for him in the future.
If possible, he wants to go there and force the exchange immediately. But he is also waiting to reap some benefits from that body. He wants Sivan to increase the cultivation of the body so that he could just enjoy the benefits without wasting any of his own resources.
Sam is thinking while they went to the valley. But what even he doesn’t notice is that some people are following them. It is hard for the three ghosts to stay in the town for so long and not get unnoticed.
They are somewhat of celebrities here. So, it is inevitable some people recognize them immediately. Particularly, people like the spies of the Government that always wants to steal information from other teams.
They reported everything related to Sam and the three ghosts from the past few days. Of course, they don’t know what they are doing inside the room. But they are sure that it is somewhat important based on the behavior of the three ghosts.
Their frequent trips to the Dark Range are only making the rest of them suspicious.
The Government Expedition group decided to spy on their plans and follow them.
The three ghosts and Sam didn’t notice this, as they are following them from afar and they are making sure that their presence goes unnoticed. They are not engaging in any battles and try their best to not provoke any creature that they came across.
After one and a half-day, the three ghosts and Sam are at the mouth of the valley.
A large amount of death and dark elemental energy is oozing out of the mouth of the valley. If any person sees this for the first time, they wouldn’t be able to help themselves and would have gone in immediately.
This is way too enticing. In general, the resources emitting this much energy would even be enticing for someone of Sam’s level.
But everyone in the dark range knows that anything inside the mouth of the valley is a death zone.
Sam took the lead from there with the three ghosts slowly following beside him.
He used his walking staff as he moved forward and soon the sounds of explosions came out of the valley.
The undead didn’t wait too long, as soon as the group reached the middle of the valley, the undead already surrounded them completely and are going at them crazily.
Sam was surprised by what he saw. The undead is well organized. More organized than he thought. They sneaking up, making formations, supporting each other. This is just like a bunch of normal soldiers attacking them.
The Sentient undead seemed to be a lot smarter than what the ghosts let on.
Along with the undead creatures, there are a bunch of ghosts and specters and even some small chimeras that are formed with the mergers of very few ghosts.
"You guys did well by coming now. Otherwise, you would have been toast no matter how many people you have."
He couldn’t help but say that out loud to the three ghosts.
Currently, the three ghosts are inside his energy barrier along with him, while he attacked the undead with the energy bullets.
The sheer number of them even made Sam shocked and the quality of each undead is impeccable. Every single of these creatures was only killed by one attack when they are alive and most of their bodies are still intact.
Their skeletons are still perfectly good and this sentient undead is still controlling them perfectly.
Soon, their target revealed itself and Sam destroyed enough of the troops. It stood on a tall rock in the middle.
The Sentient undead is holding a staff to support itself, because of the difference in the lengths of the legs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe second leg’s foot was chopped off and it is making do with the staff and it still couldn’t speak.
But it is screaming and yelling, showing its emotions which are the main indication of its sentience.
Its focus is on Sam as it commanded its troops.
"Okay boys, you are up."
With that, he moved forward along with the three ghosts as the energy barrier continued to protect them. But he used the energy beam from the second section of the staff as he destroyed everything in the path.
He left the undead to attack him from the rear and the sides while he cleared the path from the front.
As they are closing in on to the Sentient undead, the undead creatures in their way suddenly move to the side, letting a path open directly.
Sam was surprised and stopped in his tracks as he used the energy vision. Even though he is currently cannot use its full capability because of the change of the body and due to the eyes that were not refined enough by the energy usage, he could still get a good enough glimpse for now.
And he was shocked by what he saw.
The energy is being gathered inside the Sentient Undead. It is being channeled. He really didn’t want to believe, it but from the looks of it he had to.
Taking his shock to its advantage, the Sentient undead used its one foot to leap towards them in one swift motion.
The staff was smashed on top of the energy barrier and smashed it through.
Sam had to block the attack with his own staff as he closely took a look at the undead being.
This is an unexpected surprise.
Even the three ghosts are all shocked. They knew what this meant. The undead creature in front of them, the sentient undead has formed its core and it is actually as powerful as Sam.
It didn’t just form the core, but it has even increased its strength with that’s core and this is extremely bad news for the three ghosts, the dark range, and the town.
If Sam hadn’t arrived today along with the rest of the ghosts, the whole town and then the planet would have been completely turned into one big dark range.
