Chapter 388: The family of Raijus
Sam froze on the spot after hearing what they said.
He already thought about who he is many times. He took shelter in this world Sam's body but he never thought the both of them are same.
This world's Sam is a great tailor, but he is a weak person. not physically but mentally. Since childhood he never fought for anything. He lived just for the sake of living. Just because he is an orphan he just wallowed in self-pity.
But Sam is on the other end of spectrum since childhood. He was also an orphan. But he was abused continuously. After some time, he stopped his pity game. He felt that lack of parents meant lack of restrictions, he can be whatever he wants.
By the time he is fifteen, he killed more than hundred people. He became the beast mercenary and best assassin of the year in the organization.
That was why, he was so troubled accepting his new identity in this world and that is why he left the Lava rock village, before anyone could notice changes in him.
He didn't even dare to say goodbye to Michael and Robert.
After leaving that city, he completely cut ties with that identity. Until, the beast faction the people who knew of that identity came into picture. Even Sravan's current state is because he tried to kill Sam, not as revenge for turning the original Sam into an orphan.
But now, with what the Old Beast said, he felt like a burden is lifted off. The burden is what he carried for the old Sam. But now that he accepted this identity, he felt like those things are not a burden anymore.
The Old Sam's father is now the new Sam's father. So, Sravan turned him into an orphan and he has to take revenge and what would be a great revenge other than turning Sravan into an orphan. Sam felt like this is a good idea.
"Thank you." Sam thanked the beast.
The beast chuckled again and looked at Sam. "Someone would like to meet you." The Old beast said and suddenly the whole valley rumbled, the lightning falling on the beast cleared a bit and Sam saw the silhouette of the beast completely.
He is as large as a mountain.
There is a hole inside the valley out of which many beasts came out. There are more than ten of them all at Consummate realm. Sam gulped at the sight of this.
Out of all beasts, the first one seemed a bit stronger and larger. There is a scar on its face.
All these beasts are larger thirty to forty times larger than a normal wolf, but in front of the towering beast which could be seen from kilometres away, they are so short.
The beast with a scar came forward and looked at Sam closely with its eyes extremely close to Sam's.
Sam felt the breath of the wolf on his face.
The beast looked at Sam carefully and there are hints of tears in his eyes. He licked Sam's face and turned towards the beast Sam has brought back.
[Son, take care of him well. He is like your brother.] Sam looked at both of them and didn't know what to say. The beasts didn't know that Sam knows the beast language.
Sam placed his hand on the beast and said with a smile.
"Thank you."
The beast was a bit surprised.
[He understands beast tongue]
The son said to father and father rubbed his furry head to Sam in a loving manner. The same scenario repeated with all the beasts.
Sam noticed that, the beasts are on verge of crying. He felt somewhat weird but there is a feeling which he never felt welling up inside his heart.
Sam felt like crying too.
The raiju with the scar looked at Sam and said.
[If you ever encounter a problem, just find a way to come here. That's all you need to do and everything else would be resolved.]
*HOWL* *HOWL* *HOWL* *HOWL*
With that all the beasts started howling at the sky.
All the howls only meant one thing, their agreement to his words. After that, they entered the hole and the Old beast sat back down.
"They grew up with your father. They have been together for a long time. Your father treated this place as his training ground. No one in the whole world would dare to explore the central continent like he did.
The one with the scar is my eldest son. They are both so close. The one I sent to you is his son. You will be great companions to each other."
The Old beast went on speaking.
That day Sam heard a lot about his father. How he used to be when he was young. How powerful he was. How daring he was. How smart he was.
The Old beast explained everything except how is father came and how this friendship grew. He didn't ask either.
After all that, Sam asked.
"Why are you trapped here?"
The Old beast looked at him and felt a bit surprised. It didn't say it was trapped. But Sam did notice this.
"How did you find out?"
"I read in my free time. From what I know, a beast that can speak is not something that is world can bear. In fact, anyone who is stronger than a Consummate realm cultivator is too much for this place to bear and even the density of the spiritual energy is too thin to cultivate one.
An entity such as you; it is not hard to guess. Anyway, I also encountered the skeleton of a variant hydra in this planet. Mia is her daughter.
I just guessed."
"You are indeed insightful. I am really trapped. Not just me, even the ten who came to see you are also trapped here. We don't belong to this world. Me and my partner are banished to this world when she conceived.
The spiritual energy I require is coming from this lightning. It is not just some suppression but also a form of nutrition.
My children are not willing to leave.
It is a long story anyway. I will tell you when the time comes."
Sam and the beast had a long chat.
He even stayed the night. He went inside the hole and shared the meal with the rest of the tribe.
He was completely dumbfounded when he entered the hole.
The hole is a way to an underground palace.
There are many caves and every cave are occupied with Raijus.
He felt like he is looking at the strongest force of the planet and it happened so that this force his backing.
Sam felt that he should make the Space gate association construct a Space gate near this place. But felt that it would be affected by the lightning outbursts.
The lightning is making the rest of the spiritual energy chaotic. This place is only suitable for training of the lightning element cultivators, but they have to proficient in physical techniques and have an extremely strong physique too. Otherwise, they would be charred to death. That is why no one from the major power comes to this place.
Sam wanted to hug the old beast before leaving, but even with his light elemental fusion, he wouldn't be able to take the force of lightning. The lightning will reach his spiritual core easily.
It is finally time to leave.
Sam started his journey back at dawn and then only he remembered Sai is waiting for him. Sam and the young Raiju started walking back to meet Sai.
He is near the region of valley where the lightning doesn't strike much. There are a lot of rocks that have a metallic sheen.
Sam noticed that the lightning around it is acting peculiarly.
So, he walked towards the rock and placed his hand on it.
After some observation, he took out a metal which has high iron content and it stuck to that rock.
Sam smiled at this.
This is a naturally formed permanent magnet.
After he got Raiju, he is already thinking of creating an artificial permanent magnet, so that he can dabble in the electricity.
But now he doesn't have to.
There are many permanent magnets in this area, probably formed with the rocks having high metallic content struck by the lightning.
He started collecting the rocks into his storage and there is a large hole left inside the valley.
After that he felt the valley with a big grin.
He sent Raiju back into the divine dimension to let it stay with the rest of the beasts.
Sai, who is waiting for them looked at Sam's smile and felt complicated. He knew what kind of force this valley is hiding, the major powers and associations should think before they do anything.
Otherwise, it is going to be big trouble.
He knows how powerful a Raiju can be. And there is an army of them waiting in this valley to do Sam's bidding,
