Chapter 1187 - Releasing The Mother

Sam flapped his wings as he followed the Young lord and he must say that the chase is more interesting than he thought.

The young lord is really skilled at flying and he tried to red right of Sam in the stone pillar maze a few times within the first three minutes. But it is just that Sam is also as good enough and experienced in these chases that made it impossible for him to simply be thrown off.

The young lord looked over his shoulder to take a peek at Sam who is chasing after him and cursed under his breath. 

He suddenly spun in the air and his wings glowed with wind elemental energy which condensed into the curvy wind blades that were suddenly discharged at Sam who is on his tail.

Sam was stunned for a moment and took an extremely hard turn upward, barely managing to dodge the blades. He hovered over and saw the young lord taking several directions and increased his speed to catch up to him.

The wind blades were kept on launching towards Sam and he kept slowing him down. 

The chase went on for the next five minutes and Sam understood how less equipped in terms of experience he is when it comes to a battle like this.

He practiced many times when he first got these wings, but most of the time he practiced with Sky and Yanwu.

He didn't get to do any practice with the winged race and other flying humanoid races. Now he understood that he never accounted any thoughts to the tactics of cunningness and cowardice.

He couldn't think of those when practicing and now he is paying the price.

Sam activated wind elemental fusion and sped up.

And this time he didn't dodge the wind blades that were coming at him, instead, he started attacking with his own wind blades and blocked them.

This gave him enough lead to catching up with the young lord who looked at Sam and yelled.

"Fucking let me go, you pesky little shit."

As he said, he suddenly took out something and threw it at Sam. It looked like a black ball and Sam rotated to the side as he barely escaped it. 

*BOOM*

But when it was right next to his stomach, it exploded.

Sam was blown away by the impact as he crashed into the stone pillar and then started dropping. Sam felt himself being forcefully corroded with dark elemental energy as he tried to flap his wings.

He folded the wings instantly and turned to the dark elemental fusion as he absorbed the excess energy flow and then used that excess energy to turn the dark elemental fusion to the shadow elemental fusion which made it easier for him to get out of the current situation.

The young lord looked at him free-falling like that and couldn't help but smirk. Too bad, he didn't bother to check what happened fully. Sam looked at the shadow of the pillar near him and smiled as he then looked at the young lord trying to escape.

He estimated his speed quietly and he dove faster to reach the shadow.

He channeled spatial elements and as soon as he hit the shadow, he disappeared from the spot. There is no crash, no destruction, and not even a sound. All that was there is his disappearance.

And when the young lord just thought that he lost Sam, suddenly saw Sam appearing from in front of him and a large wind blade was thrown at him abruptly.

The young lord took a hard turn to the right as he used a stone pillar which has a sharp edge to get a grip and change his direction.

But to his dismay, Sam confronted him from the other side and a punch landed squarely on his face making him crash into another stone pillar.

Sam didn't waste time and tried following up with another attack, but the other party showed his experience in flying. He used his wings to move in the air and let his feet land first on the pillar and he kicked it to launch himself at Sam.

Sam moved to the side a bit and caught the hand of the young lord with one hand and then used the other to hit the other party in the armpit with a single strike the shoulder bone broke. But Sam has no intention of leaving him with that and the tango in the air began.

Both parties used wind elemental energies as they threw punches at each other. But the young lord kept on missing as every time he made a move before he could even finish it, he was being hit in the head by the fist.

It is as if he could see where it is coming from and when it is going to come, but he still couldn't avoid it no matter what he did.

This made him feel extremely frustrated but he couldn't do anything.

Sam kept on pushing him backward and soon they were against a stone pillar. Sam held him by his throat against the pillar while he placed his other hand on the pillar to use his earth element and make some protrusions that could shackle the young lord to it.

The shackles held him by his feet, hands, and even at the hip.

He then stepped back and looked at the young lord.

"You look perfect here."

*BAM* *BAM*

After that, what happened is just a barrage of punches raining on his face as one tooth after another fell off.

"I wouldn't leave you alive. I will skin you before killing you." The young lord yelled through the swollen mouth.

Sam just looked at him in disdain and kept on repeating the punches and soon the words gradually changed.

"Stop hitting me you asshole."

*BAM* *BAM*

"No, no. It is hurting you piece of shit."

*BAM* *BAM*

"Please, I beg you. I beg you."

*BAM* *BAM*

After pounding him for a good while, Sam finally flew close to him and held the wings. The young lord looked at him in horror and said.

"What are you doing? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF? DON'T TOUCH MY WINGS."

He yelled. But Sam didn't care.

*RIIIPP*

"AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH...…."

A ripping sound reverberated aloud in the maze followed by the soul-searing scream that outdid it.

Sam threw the wings away and caught hold of him so that he could bring him back to the city.

He directly went to the hall.

There he saw Noah and Kumar sitting leisurely with the dead bodies of the two dogs and their beasts in the hall.

"Good that you are finally done."

"We were done a long time ago, we are waiting for you to come back. What took you so long to catch this pipsqueak." Kumar replied as he stood up.

"He is good with wings and he had his way around the stone pillar maze. Anyway, just be glad that either of you didn't win the competition, otherwise, our young lord would have escaped."

"Is he really that good?" Noah asked doubtfully.

"He is good. At least, at escaping anyway. I was really wondering how can be born so talentless when I saw him, but his talent lies in the places we wouldn't consider much."

"Really, what is that?"

"Cowardice and namecalling."

"PFFT.. Hahahaha." Kumar laughed lightly and three of them moved upstairs while Sam dragged the young lord with him.

Soon they arrived at one of the rooms and opened it.

Inside, they saw a fiend woman with barely any clothes standing with a collar on her neck that could suppress her cultivation and shackles chained to her limbs making her hand like a cross.

Her body is full of knife scars and whip bruises. She looked a bit dazed and lost.

When the three of them arrived, she looked at them with a frown and when her gaze landed on the young lord, her eyes changed.

She didn't speak and Noah slowly went to the shackles on the walls and slowly unlocked them so that the woman would land carefully without hurting herself.

After releasing her, she didn't speak immediately and Sam broke the silence.

"We are the mercenaries hired by the Fiend tribe." He took out the token and showed her. When she saw the tokens the woman's eyes were excited for the first time. She looked at them and asked.

"How did you get here? What about the security of the city?"

"Everything is over. We took over the city hall and none of the people who can call shots or throw their power around are alive. All of them are dead."

She heaved a sigh of relief, but then noticed the collar on her neck.

Sam looked at her and said.

"I am sorry, but we are not skilled enough to remove that collar, that is outside of our area of expertise.. We can send the news to the Fiend tribe and they can come over and take care of that."
