Chapter 1686: Lost Sense

As Sam finished speaking, Kach once again became vigilant.

"What happened?" Sam asked.

"Someone is approaching," Kach replied.

Sam was confused. Because he couldn't sense anyone's presence. Looking at his expression, Kach frowned and said.

"Someone was approaching from North East and they are very close by. They just hid in the emptied mansion right outside the estate."

Sam looked there in surprise. Because that is within the range of his spiritual sense. He should have been able to pick that up easily. But he wasn't able to do that. He tried to focus on that one particular area.

And his frown deepened. His forehead has never been so wrinkled before. He closed his eyes and started putting all the mental energy that he could muster into his spiritual sense and it was concentrated to focus on only that mansion.

But he wasn't able to. As he gritted his teeth and tried to push harder, he suddenly felt someone tapping on his back.

"Hey, dude. You are going to pop your vein. Stop pushing yourself like that. Your aura is changing way too dynamically and it is making that weird dangerous aura inside you more active."

"More active?"

"Yes, the more you are currently focusing on your spiritual energy, the more that dangerous and weirdly foreign aura is fluctuating. It is to the point it is acting like a parasite that was served with its favorite nutrient.

It is consuming your spiritual energy like crazy and the worst part is, that you are focused on what is going on outside that you are unable to see what's happening inside your body for that short time.

What is happening to you? You were like a senile and diseased old man nearing his head, compared to the person you were a week ago.

What is wrong with you? Do you need to see a healer? Or do you want to go to Brig? That weird healing curse might help you with whatever the shit you are going through."

Sam didn't speak for a moment and just tried to focus on his body and mind for a second. He sensed what's happening and understood that whatever the hell Kach spoke now is true.

"Hey Sam, Please go to Brig and tell him to take a look. That weird dangerous aura is a lot similar to a parasitic curse that I came across. This one is a lot less dormant, slow, gradual, and different in its core nature compared to that. But the symptoms and the method of the bad things happening within your body are actually, very similar.

You mentioned that the new healing method can be used to cure any sort of curse. This might help you out a bit. Even if it doesn't work, at least you would have known something about this."

"Thank you for your concern. But not knowing is not the actual problem. I actually have the knowledge about whatever that's affecting. The only problem is that I never got a chance to learn about its full capabilities and was ignorant about what's currently happening in m…."

"Many people are approaching. Sam, there are many people coming to the clan gates from different sides and the leaders of the group who are at the forefront are making their way here.

Come with me. I will take you to a safe space. You can figure out whatever's happening there later."

As Sam was speaking, Kach suddenly stopped and spoke to him.

Sam frowned and looked around. His spiritual energy is unable to scan for long distances. He used energy vision instead. Even though it hurt his eyes, optical nerves, and even his brain so much with just one such move, he still looked around.

He was shocked, to say the least. He was dumbfounded.

He could see the people moving toward him and the energy fluctuations are something he is very familiar with. They are all the players he has been interacting with his whole freaking life.

He knew very well. And he is sure that their stealth is not as powerful as to blind his spiritual sense and even the players can pull it off somehow. Sam is confident in his own skill to know that the rest of the group wouldn't be able to do that.

His spiritual sense has dulled. It became so inoperable to the point he couldn't even notice the energy fluctuations that are not even hidden.

It is a new low for him. He became vigilant. Paranoia kicked in. Cold sweat ran down behind his back.

The teams that are following the players dispersed when they reached the premises of the mansion and they started attacking the members of the Sura Clan.

Only players moved forward. Arkiv who left in a different direction stopped at a certain spot. He stood on a high vantage point and waited with his arms crossed. He let the rest of the players duke it out just like he initially promised.

Meanwhile, the people that hid in the vacant mansion are still not moving, except for one person. Another player. It is none other than Dayus. He came with a lot of people and everyone has high-level stealth equipment.

But it is not strong enough to completely hide their presence. It seems to mostly focus on hiding their cultivation level.

Sam didn't think much of their stealth though. He is fully focused on the fact that his spiritual sense is crippled and from the looks of it, it's going down every moment.

The corruption from hell is affecting him more than he thought. While things are already bad in that way, they just kept on getting worse in other ways.

The attacks became intense. And following Dayus, the rest of the group he has with him also came out.

They spread out. But not as much as the rest of the groups.

Soon all the players, including Dayus and except Arkiv are standing around Sam and Kach.

"Sorry, Sam. But I guess Arkiv revealed the information before. You and Dayus are going to be targeted. Of course, Dayus is going to be the first target and you the second.

So, if you are okay, even though you didn't agree to the previous deal, I would like to offer it again once again.

He is a pain in the ass for all of us. I am sure you want to kill him more than anyone else here."

Noah said with a smile.

"Why is everyone asking as if I couldn't find a chance to kill Dayus before? Do you really think if I had wanted him dead, he would have been alive until now? Just stop it and get on with your plan. And I have a feeling that you are proposing this just so that I could tire myself out and you guys can just deal with me much easier."

"That's part of the plan. But most of it is because that asshole is way too tricky and doesn't play by our code. You are the most efficient percent to handle his bullshit."

"Flattered. But not enough for me to make a move. You can deal with that by yourselves."

Sam replied and turned to Kach.

"I think you should go and help your future father-in-law. The number of people these guys brought is nothing to scoff at. He will need you."

"But what about you? Are you sure you will be okay with this?"

"No problem. I can count on the rest of the players. If they really do break their word, they should be sure that I die today. They know what the consequences are going to be like if I survive by any chance."

The rest of the players heard these words. They just shook their heads and turned to Dayus.

"Really? You guys are going to gang up on me? And here I am thinking that I will slide away from this first round and spare all of you some mercy. My original target was only that asshole. But now, you are all in for some real punishment.

It's a good thing that I prepared for this."

Kach was about to leave when the people hidden in the mansion made their move. They all zoomed towards their location and they spread out to tackle the players. Only two of the group members ran towards Sam and Kach along with Dayus.

Everyone is stunned.

They thought the ambush was set up for the Sura clan members. Turns out it is not even an ambush.

Sam took out his sword and blocked Dayus' lightning spear. He slid on the ceiling as he wobbled.

He gritted his teeth as he looked at Dayus. This is humiliating. He could have handled Dayus with one hand if he was in his original shape. But now, he couldn't even block him properly.

Before he could even sink in that embarrassment. Something else happened. He felt the energy fluctuations coming from both sides. Two people who are at least as strong as him if not stronger are attacking him.
