Arman woke up feeling hurt and dizzy.

He felt pain in his face even with just simple breathing.

That pain didn't even let him stand up and he didn't do so.

He noticed that the whole Arena is silent and felt that he was left alone. But Just in case, he extended his spiritual sense and then noticed that someone is here.

He forced himself to sit up and looked at them.

When he noticed that Sam is holding the lightning blade in his hands, he was completely shocked and then he knew what is happening. Even though the lightning blade was obtained and he didn't go through the spiritual battle because of Indra, he still came to know how a spiritual battle works.

He didn't feel safe at all and had a bad premonition as soon as he came to his sense.

But before he could stand up, Philip came to his side and looked at him.

In his current pathetic state, Arman is not a threat at all. But he is still not comfortable letting him near Sam.

He stood in front of Arman and said.

"I don't know why Sam kept you alive all this while, but it might be because he is too bored and frustrated will all the things piling upon him. You might as well be his stress buster. But if you make a single move now, I don't think I can stop myself from killing you. So, stay put."

Arman looked at him and didn't answer, he was about to take something out of his spatial ring, but as soon as the item appeared in his left hand, even before he could use it, he felt a crushing blow on his hand.

It is almost as if it was hit by a huge sledgehammer.

He groaned in pain as he held his arm with the other one and looked at Philip whose leg was on his arm.

"I said not a single move."

Philip said coldly and looked at the thing Arman took out; it is a pill bottle. It turned out to be a healing pill.

But Philip didn't go easy on him. He increased the density of the metal in his leg and the weight increased. Arman felt an overbearing pain.

Philip held the pill bottle in his hand and looked at him.

"Seems like some extremely high-quality pill, I would take them." Only after that did he take his foot off.

Arman had a relieved expression. With the gradually increasing weight on his arm, he felt like cutting it off would have been a better choice. His arm was crushed and bones turned into powder.

But this time, he didn't take out any healing pills.

He didn't want to lose them to Philip. It has only been a few days and he is already at wit's end, if he has to survive for the rest of the month, he has to manage his supplies.

After five more minutes, Sam opened his eyes and the lightning blade in his hands is also glowing. Sam has a victorious smile on his face.

He was experienced in the spiritual battle with the shadow sword, at that time, he fainted from the pressure.

But now, he didn't faint and he felt as strong as ever, except for the slight headache, there is no more damage to his body

Sam felt extremely ecstatic, because now not only did he rob of Arman's mental support, he also gained an information source.

This weapon came from the upper realms, and it is sent by Indra himself. It has been guiding Arman since the time they spent in the thunder god temple.

It should know more about why they are actually here and why are these twelve candidates who possibly came from different worlds put in this world at the same time.

He didn't even look at Arman as he disregarded him completely, he took the Saber with him and left, Philip followed him out.

But he didn't forget to show off his little gain in front of Arman, which made the latter almost go mad at the spot.

The loss of healing pills is nothing compared to the lightning blade, but Philip showing off is nothing short of a crow poking the wound.

After they left, Arman just laid there as he thought about his life.

He started thinking about how he came to this world.

He was a soldier in his previous life, in a world where spiritual energy is not as dense as this place.

He was a soldier of great achievements and got promoted, he became the king's personal guard. No knight in the kingdom was his opponent.

He was at the prime of his life at a young age, he survived the chaotic wars, deadly beasts, and even the strongest soldiers of other kingdoms as he helped the king become an emperor by conquering more land.

But with his adrenaline on raise every day and so full of his achievements, he lost one important thing, the shrewdness he used to have when he was an ordinary soldier.

That time, when he became a soldier, he wanted opportunities and he has to fight for them to gain them from the hands of the rest of the army, he used to shrewd, calculative, and driven by ambition.

After reaching his prime, he lost all of them. With all the rewards he got, his ambition turned into vanity and his shrewdness turned to arrogance.

These changes made him unable to survive the politics of the empire and he was dead before he realized what went wrong.

He has so many regrets when he died, he wanted to be the greatest warrior in the world, but he died before he could achieve it.

In his dying breath, he was thinking about what has changed and realized how foolish he was, he didn't have any plans of gaining more authority, he only wanted to gain more strength and battle more to achieve what he wants.

But the people didn't think so, they just labeled him as a power-hungry person and that is the reason he was dead.

In his last breath, he suddenly felt that strength doesn't mean anything if he doesn't have authority. He could take on the king ten times over, but he was still killed because the king felt that he is a threat.

He only had one thought, if he ever had another chance, he would gain the strength and use it to gain authority.

He was ecstatic that the chance came as soon as he wished, Indra appeared before him and sent him to this place.

He was completely shocked and surprised at the same time ecstatic when he found out that he is a part of a large organization and his main goal in this world became to be the leader of that organization and one could argue that he achieved half of it.

Apart from Arthur, he became the most favorable candidate to become the next head.

He developed and he entered the first palace of inheritance and the first happened to be Indra's inheritance, he doesn't know why Indra a god above all gave him this chance.

But he didn't care at all, he liked this chance and the opportunity along with the gains from the palace of inheritance.

But that Saber spirit egged him to get that thunder prison and everything went sideways.

His biggest regret is messing with Sam.

Sam is against everything he believed in. All he believed in is authority. But Sam never batted an eyelid for that.

He defied the most authoritative figures, even if Arman got the authority he wanted and became the head of the thunder god temple, he wouldn't dare to walk in the beast faction alone.

But Sam as a grand realm cultivator not only made it, he kicked the ass of the beast faction.

Then he knew that he is fucked up. He shouldn't have been too greedy. All this while, just because he was selected by a god, he felt that he is the best in the world.

But Sam shoved his head into reality. He realized he almost made the same mistake again.

As these thoughts came over to his mind, he just went to sleep without even healing himself.

Meanwhile, Sam who went back to his place didn't interrogate the Saber.

Because, today the next big problem which could probably take precedence to all his problems, because he reached the peak of his cultivation realm and his spiritual energy is acting up.

He was in the peak of the grand realm for a long time and with all the things piling up, he forgot to find the beast for the next breakthrough.

He is feeling a piercing headache.

After some thought, he made a visit to Zeke and asked.

"I need to go to the central continent. Is there any way?"

Zeke was completely stunned. He calmed down and said.

"The central continent is the most dangerous place to go into. If I may ask why do you want to go there?"
