Chapter 1653: First Floor
Chapter 1653: First Floor
Inside the first floor of the tower.
Sam's emotions are in turmoil. He couldn't fathom witnessing the faces that he wanted to forget for so long.
These faces are part of his dark history. He didn't want to see them again. That is the part of his life that he is not confident in facing.
And to think that they came to haunt him in the very first floor. He couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety when he thought of what could be in the remaining floors. This is indeed a really tough challenge.
Sam looked at a young man.
The young man looked lean and strong. He is taller than most people. He had dark skin. He looked like a normal person. But there is one key differentiation between him and a normal person. His eyes are black.
The whole eyeball is black in color and there is only the pupil which is white in color.
He is the guy that made Sam beg in the streets, the guy Sam ratted out to a trafficking organization.
The guy had died because of Sam and the pain and agony that was visible on his face when he died, was present. And Sam could sense the strength of a Peak stage Astral Plane cultivator from him.
It is pure neutral spiritual energy and it seems like it is balanced between the warrior type and the mage type. It is not a direct Mage-Warrior type that is for sure.
As soon as he saw Sam standing there, he started running towards him. With the anger apparent in his face.
Sam made a move and punched him in the face. The young man didn't stop though. He didn't show any fear or any hesitation when taking that punch. He acted like a rageful idiot who doesn't have any thought process.
There is no tactic, or technique in the way he fought, he just took the hit head-on with brute force and suffered all of the damage.
Sam dodged the next few attacks and kept on attacking him from different directions. There is no way he can deal with the current situation easily.
But soon it became annoying because he saw two middle-aged people. One man and a woman started running towards him.
Their mouths are secreting some saliva that is black in color along with black eyes that are similar to the first young man.
There is no way Sam could ever forget these faces.
These faces haunted a good portion of his past life. The first two lives he has ever taken with his own hands without even knowing. These are the two national-level artists that he killed with the poison. The two artists sexually exploited him when he was eight years old.
The woman looked at Sam in resentment and spat on him.
The black saliva that came out of her mouth looked like a water ball. Sam barely dodged it and it hit the Young man that was near Sam.
The black-colored Saliva started emitting some dark smoke as the flesh on the young man started melting.
The young man started healing the wounds at a rapid pace. The regeneration speed is actually higher than Sam's. He was surprised, but that didn't stop him from continuing the attacks. The middle-aged man also started spitting the black poisonous corrosive saliva.
The attacks are strong, they are pretty decent in timing as well. But they are not really battling with a particular strategy in mind. They are just randomly attacking Sam with the intention to hurt him.
So, it was pretty easy for Sam to control the battle. The only problem is that they are strong enough to not die by just one hit from Sam.
They can take some damage and they are capable of recovering with their regeneration abilities. This made the situation a bit tricky for them.
So, he decided to take advantage of the saliva that is being shot at him constantly. First, he started grappling with the young man and used him as a meat shield for the saliva attacks.
While regenerating the defense and the speed of the opponents is being reduced by a lot.
So, Sam has a really easy time dealing with more damage while carrying the young man as a meat shield. He used that technique to close the distance between him and the other opponents.
He then slammed the young man into the middle-aged man.
It is almost like he used a semi-flexible tree branch to hit someone. The middle-aged man skid on the ground for a minute, before he stopped at a spot. Sam turned around and threw the young man against the lady before he zoomed towards the middle-aged man.
He reached in a flash and started beating the crap out of the middle-aged man. He took a full mount position and landed the barrage of attacks. He simply punched the middle-aged man out of any possible shape.
With a punch, the jaw of the middle-aged man flew in the air and landed far away. By the time the remaining two opponents came to him, Sam tore the head off of the middle-aged man.
He threw his head to the side and right before he was about to get up and move to the remaining two opponents, he felt a sense of energy that didn't belong to him.
This weird energy is dark, dense, and powerful. The energy fit him I the face and he felt a slight sense of sharp pain that he never really felt before.
He closed his eyes to observe where this came from and then remembered what the instructions were. This is the energy from the corruption of hell. As he was thinking, he also found that there is some other invisible energy merged with that corruption.
It is the cleansed sin that you carried for these people.
Sam just took a couple of seconds before he went back to killing these guys. He just slammed the shit of the opponents and killed them within no time.
Of course, the grand display of attacks attracted some strangers. The strangers are of course the dead people that are nearby.
He killed a couple of them and got a vague idea of how to deal with them. So, he just dived into the fights.
After the initial experience of the power and the effects of the corruption, he became much freer in space. He increased, his speed and strength as he actively sought the opponents instead of just waiting for the ones that are there for him.
He didn't know how long he fought, but there are dozens of dead bodies all over the place. The surroundings looked like they are some kind of suburbs with large houses. Sam started raiding one home after another, but after he went on with over a dozen houses, he finally hit a roadblock.
The pain that came from the corruption suddenly shot through the roof. The sin he has been cleansing also seemed to have hit a certain limit. He almost felt like his body is exploding.
And this happened when Sam is actually standing in front of a person who is wearing a standard Indian police uniform, Khakis.
Not only does he have a uniform, he even has a cap on his head with a brown leather belt and a holster attached to it.
When the police officer saw Sam, he turned around and took out a gun from the holster.
Sam was surprised that the other party has a weapon. As if that wasn't enough, the police officer started gathering some weird energy from different parts of his body. Sam could even see the circulation openly.
Only then did he notice that the police officer has been shot dead. There are at least thirty bullet wounds on his body, but since there was no blood on the uniform, Sam didn't bother with the tears.
The energy is being pumped towards the gun from these bullet wounds.
When the gun loaded in just a second, the police officer pulled the trigger.
*BOOM*
At first, Sam didn't think much of it. After all, it is not his first time facing guns, in fact, he did that when he was just a kid in his past life. There is no way, this could shake him.
But their opinion changed as soon as he was hit with the pain of the corruption as well as he saw the bullet that came out of the gun. It is like the explosion of a hand grenade is compressed into a one-inch cube and the cube traveled at supersonic speed to release itself at a certain point.
Sam attempted to dodge it, but the bullet already reached his side and exploded there.
He still has his feather coat on, which helped him out in dealing with the explosion, but he was thrown away to the side like a ragdoll.
