Sam looked at the majestic furnace in front of him. The furnace was the only thing that was being used in the past few days to build the puppets and other tools required for the mobile formation they made.
He placed his hand on the core and made some adjustments before stopping the furnace and removing the core out. He then replaced it with some device he made and let the formation run again.
He then came out of the core area along with Kiran while both of them dealt with the guards and disciples around.
The estate is where the weakest currently stayed in and within a few minutes, Sam managed to put them to sleep and kill the people that are ought to be killed.
Then they made their way to the library and stole every book and scroll there is in the same way they did in the first puppet organization branch.
After he was done, Sam looked at Kiran and said.
"Since the healer quarters is destroyed, you are supposed to be dead now. Go and meet the first young master and take on the face of one of his current subordinates. Almost all our arrangements here are finished and only Night Ghost, Paras and Vidyut are left to act as they are going to deal with the elders and the branch leader. Be careful."
With that Sam left the place and joined the battle. Everything is going smoothly in this chaos and the Night Ghost focused on the branch leader as both of them met face to face.
The Branch leader took out all the puppets he had in his hand that would be useful in the battle and started fighting with Night Ghost.
Night Ghost didn’t have an upper hand at the start. He only managed to deal with the puppets that are independent as he is specialized in dealing with ghosts and spirits, he managed to deal with them easily.
But the controlled puppets and the branch leader made it a bit difficult for him. Paras, Vidyut, Saber Monarch, five elemental king and the rest of the teammates are dealing with the elders and high-level disciples.
Even though Sam doesn’t have much enmity with them, the situation is already irreconcilable with them. It is inevitable for them to be archenemies, so he decided to reduce their strength as much as they can and made the teammates deal with all the elders so that he wouldn’t have to face this threat in the near future.
He has too many enemies already and he is not keen on adding more just for things like fairness and integrity. Anyway, as far as he was concerned only half of the blood of these organization members is on his hands and the rest of it falls on the hands of the gods that are making their followers the pawns of this game.
While the team is fighting and killing as they were ordered and the puppets are causing chaos and destruction, the first young master is safer than ever. Kiran just ran towards him after Sam’s orders and as soon as he came, the first young master finally moved to the pillar and started making adjustments like Sam ordered to do.
After he did that, the light curtain suddenly appeared, but there are no formations left in the city as they were destroyed.
It has been over an hour since the infiltration and everything descended into utter chaos and rubble.
The energy beams that were being shot by the puppets occasionally started diffusing and even the explosions happening inside the city are diffusing and clouds of elemental energy are appearing everywhere. Both outside and inside the city.
But this is only helping in energy explosions and energy beams, the destruction caused by direct attacks didn’t stop.
Time passed slowly. In the battle, every minute felt like an hour for the disciples of the puppet organization and the battles even went on for the rest of the day.
This is the longest battle Sam and his team ever had once they started the direct confrontation. Every time until now, they would just make the other party despair using his tricks and then finish them off instantly with their superior might. After the direct contact, the most they would go through would be an hour or two.
Now they fought for a whole day. Particularly, the battle between the Night Ghost and the Branch leader.
Night Ghost felt like he met with an opponent for the first time. Granted that the other party is using the puppets, they are but weapons.
The most important thing is the skill level the other party is using.
And the branch leader skillfully led Night Ghost outside the city, they are deep into the forest by night and their battle is going in a slow pace.
But the injuries were inevitable, particularly with Night Ghost’s fighting style of sneak attacks through his ghosts, the soul bindings, attacks to the souls were all hard to defend and the branch leader managed to suffer some serious damage.
Most of the elders are killed and the remaining few are severely injured. They are currently moving to the core area which is located right next to the wormhole area leading to the third puppet realm and other realms.
Sam ordered the team to not to pursue them and let them go away. The citizens are still in the refugee area and they were not harmed by either party. Only the puppet organization members are escaping.
As for the mercenaries, half of them escaped and the remaining half were killed instantly.
This is one of the biggest bloodbaths Sam has every created. The whole city is painted red no matter where he looked.
While the puppet organization members are retreating, Sam’s puppets inside the city started exploding.
The diffusion formation worked, but the energy clouds started created the energy corrosion.
The branch leader looked at all this from far away and sighed.
"Why are you doing this?" He asked the Night Ghost, the Night ghost didn’t reply and looked at him coldly.
"I know I am about to die, just let me talk to a disciple."
Night Ghost nodded and the branch leader contacted the first young master.
"Leave the city and go to the third puppet realm. Tell them the details of what happened. Take the captured Second young master with you. I hope the puppet organization survives this. And give him my message. If he is not sure of dealing with Sam, even if just one percent, tell him to give up the furnace body. It is not worth it."
With that, he cut the communication off and committed suicide.
Night Ghost didn’t let him off though, he extracted the soul and completely swallowed it.
Sam ordered the rest of the group to retreat and they went back to the camp.
The next day.
In the third puppet realm. The third branch leader is currently looking at the few dozen members of the second branch that survived.
The original plan is to defend against Sam and if push comes to shove, they would use wormholes to help each other. But Sam’s attack was too sudden and perfectly timed. And they thought that they had a chance to beating Sam so, they didn’t arrange anyone at the wormholes.
But it backfired big time and they were massacred.
He looked at the first young master and the two subordinates that survived.
The two subordinates are obviously Arkiv and Kiran.
Three of them have severe injuries. The first young master had his hand severed. And the remaining two has their limbs severely fractured.
They are looking extremely pitiful.
"First young master, how did the battle go? Were we even able to fare anyway? Is there really no time for you guys to inform us through the wormhole?"
"We were caught by surprise. The elders and the branch leader who are the only people that had access to the worm hole were gone into the city to deal with some special puppets the enemy sent, and they were stuck with the enemies after that. After all, all the wormholes were sealed as the branch leader didn’t want to give them a chance to ambush through the wormholes, it would take some time to unlock them.
The enforcement elder that was stationed at the worm hole was also in charge of saving the refugee area nearby, so he was not directly involved in the battle and no one was there to take charge and give him orders. The branch leader told him to treat anyone without organization anywhere near the wormhole as a deserter and kill them.
Only after the battle reached an unimaginable state did he willingly open the wormhole gate and even helped us unseal it."
The third branch leader became thoughtful and after some time he heaved a huge sigh and was about to say something.
But at this moment, his close associate ran towards him and passed him a slip, when he looked at the slip, his eyes suddenly brightened.
