That day, there is no more activity from both of them. The search from the feathered was stopped completely and there is no one who came to search them.

Everything is silent.

After the next day has passed, Sam sent another video and a small scroll with the message to the queen with the silver pigeon.

The pigeon just dropped the message at the entrance of the temple and returned.

The message is simple.

It is the place and time for the exchange of the hostage for the weapon fragment. But before that, they have to do some preparations according to his instructions and then only they will exchange.

When the priest took a look at the requirements he rejected them immediately.

"Queen Rata, this is complete nonsense, you cannot possibly think of agreeing to his demands at all. He is just using your love for your sons to do all this."

"Then what do you want me to do? My sons are being tortured as we speak. Their bodies wouldn't be able to take it."

"Then agree to my plan. We would be able to take them down easily. They are only a couple of humans."

"What couple of humans? When will you stop underestimating others and overestimating us? You don't know anything. You don't know what kind of world is outside this planet.

You don't know what humans are actually capable of.

The goddess you pray so much is not invincible against them. Do you think that she ordered us to not kill them because she is fair, just, and kind? Because she is afraid to do anything to them. She is afraid that someone would come knocking on her door and that knock would be enough to destroy her whole mansion.

If you don't know anything just shut up and stay put., Don't downplay their abilities."

Her sudden outburst made him feel a bit lost. The priest didn't expect that not only would Queen speak like this, but she is also even thrashing the goddess.

At first, he thought she is just speaking out of her anger, but when he carefully ruminated on her words, he understood that she gave a lot of information unknowingly.

He took a bit time for himself and thought of something.

He flew back to the Queen and told her his plan and now all they have to do is wait for the time to come.

Sam and his group are all in their positions waiting for the feathered to come here.

This time, the situation is a bit different. He didn't just call for representatives and some transcendent stage cultivators to pick up the hostages, rather he called for the Queen and the Priest.

The next morning at dawn the forces of the city are all moving to the side of the city. They just left the front gate open and stayed in a formation. Meanwhile, the Priest and the Queen moved out of the city. Only two of them.

The rest of the transcendent stage cultivators started following them after fifteen minutes.

Sam is using the telescope and started following them from afar as he traced their path and after they crossed every major point Sam marked, he let the wights and ghouls out to take their positions.

Arkiv and Arman are in their own positions already.

After everything was set in place, Arman finally appeared before the Priest and Queen along with the two feathered.

The shadow feathered.

Currently, they are in the worst state they could be and there is not a single thing they could do about it.

Their shadow elemental fusion was activated, but there are golden lines all over their body. This is because of the modified seals Sam, placed on them.

He forced them to use the shadow fusion and then placed the seals in the middle of the process. The seals contained the light elemental stones and the light elemental energy which contradicts the shadow a lot is being injected forcefully into their bodies. This caused their body to be a battlefield between the two contrasting elemental energies.

Hindering their motion, breathing, thinking, and any other physical or mental activity.

When Queen Rata saw her sons in such a state, she was angry and furious and her aura raged crazily and Arman felt the pressure.

But he just placed his hands on the necks of the two guys and their screams made her calm down.

"Brought what I want?" Arman asked coldly after the pressure was lifted.

She threw something at him and Arman caught it. Sam who is standing from afar looked at the object that flew across through the telescope and frowned.

He couldn't examine it properly but he felt like something was off. For them to throw the fragment without any resistance and insistence to send the hostages first, this is not normal.

Arman is currently wearing a communication device that is like a Bluetooth headset, Sam was about to say something, but he saw something else in the background and got distracted by that for a second and Arman let the hostages go, he jumped back and threw a key towards the Queen and said.

"The lock would be open if he uses his fire elemental energy for a half-an-hour with proper concentration and after that, you have to clean the body of the light elemental energy immediately and maintain the cleansing process for one hour. If not, they will have permanent damage." Arman said while he took a step back.

At this moment, Sam spoke into the communication device.

"Arman be careful. Something is coming from your left."

Arman turned around to see. There is a Azure lightning growing brightly.

"Shit, why did this fucker come now of all times?" Arman cursed and took out his saber. The blue lightning covered his whole body as he ran backwards.

Sam looked at the situation and informed Arkiv.

"Arkiv, do your thing."

Immediately, Arkiv who is hiding near the camp of the transcendent stage cultivators that are following the queen and the Priest from a distance and shot an arrow at the group.

The wights and ghouls who are in their position started shooting the metal balls and other things full of poison. There are some fire elemental ghouls and Wights, so they could handle it.

The poison grenades, the spikes full of poison smoke, the pin grenades and the undead bombs that are constantly blasted over the group are all in full swing and the ghouls and Wights started retreating, but not before they activated a couple of soul formations on the already injured group.

Sam didn't want to use the undying flames, that is why he put the exchange in the morning instead of night.

Meanwhile, Sam took out the hover car and moved towards Arkiv. He picked him and collected the ghouls and wights into the chess board.

Arman is still running the direction of the city as he threw the fragment in his spatial storage. Donner is after him with a battle hammer swing lightning strikes from a far. Arman is repelling them with his own saber lighting strikes.

The forest is full of flashes.

After Sam Arkiv up, he moved towards Arman's location.

While the Queen and the Priest are busy saving the two guys and the transcendent stage feathered are enduring the horrors of the poison and stuff.

Sam finally arrived at the entrance of the city along with Arkiv.

Arman and Donner are fighting like crazy as they created a destroyed path in the forest. Both of them are caught up in a fight within that route and just when Arman was finally about to create a distance and jump on the car, Donner caught up and held him tightly.

He took the stab of the saber to his chest and hit the battle hammer on Arman's leg prompting both of them to drop their weapons and get exchanged in a fierce grapple.

The lightning element flew around and destroyed the surroundings while both of them didn't let go.

Arman wants to get out of the lock, but Donner is hell bent on taking him on.

All the commotion got the remaining forces to be alerted.

"We have to help him." Sam said and came out of the car along with Arkiv.

Donner was evenly matched with Arman and he has only one goal at the moment and that is not even to defeat Arman, he only needs the spatial ring that has the fragment.

When Arman saw the both of them coming out, he made an attack that damaged both of them and ran backwards. He took out the fragment from the storage and threw it towards Sam.

Sam jumped upwards to catch it, but Donner threw the battle hammer towards Sam. The hammer flew with Azure lightning and with the amount of power it packed, Sam had to dodge it, but Arkiv who is behind shot an arrow at the fragment so that Donner wouldn't get a hold it.

But Donner didn't seem to have cared, all of a sudden a blood drop appeared in his hand and Sam was shocked. This the blood art that was given to the rest of the Players.

The hammer that Sam just dodged flew back to Donner and it has some new patterns.

He didn't go for Arkiv or Arman who is already injured, rather he went straight for Sam without care and used his full power.

He is as fast and forceful as a bolt of lightning.
