Chapter 954: Chaos
The clash between the three families went on a full scale within no time. The third family head is also a proud man and he knew that he didn't do it. But since the other families are hell bent on accusing him, he didn't bother to convince them and decided to take that accusation to next level and started the battle.
Now that half of the family forces of the two families are down to nothing this is also the perfect timing for him to deal with them.
The only disadvantage is at the clash of the top. Two family heads versus one is going to be a bit troublesome. So, he decided to go into hiding and let the lower levels deal with the war. He has a great chance of winning.
Soon, the clash extended to all the common planets and there are invasions to not so common planets, and finally it even extended towards the maze.
By the time the family heads heard the news about the anomaly in the maze, they are already knee deep in the war.
If they want to have any plausible chance of facing the Saber Monarch, they would have to be together. But that is not possible at the moment as the first one to offer compromise might be swallowed.
And when the war escalated in just a few days, Sam finally made Akhil and Noah to select the families within the list and make it completely official and an hour after they did that, the gods contacted the families through the temples.
When the family heads heard about this and learned of the facial and physical description of the two people, they are stunned.
They are the same people who opened the bar.
Which also means, their war is meaningless. The two family heads ran to the main battlefield and immediately called for the third family head.
Yelling that the war is over and they are retreating. They apologized and they have some explaining to do.
They even publicly talked about what the problem was and how it all happened.
Meanwhile, after the announcement was made, Sam made a move once again within the maze.
The dome slowly started thinning down. The guards who are fighting each other didn't even get the message from the family heads to stop yet and even if they got it, it would be hard for them to instantly stop, but the thinning of the dome made them stop and retreat a bit.
The dome gradually thinned down and from the speed it is happening, the guards estimated that in three days the Saber Monarch would be out of that place.
And Sam did this because, he wanted the third family head to be forced out of his hiding.
The three family heads wouldn't come together for negotiation unless they have a clear and powerful common enemy and Sam decided to give them that.
And when the news spread and the third family head got wind of it, he immediately arranged for a meeting with the other two with all his information networks still open.
The meeting was even held in an open place in front of a lot of people. The two family heads started explaining their situation with Akhil and Noah.
And since Raijin the god that was worshiped by the third family head is not in the game it is obviously hard for him to believe them. But he gave them benefit of the doubt and opened discussions about the maze and dome.
But while they are in middle of discussions, something else happened, the third family head got some news and that is their family guards are all found dead near the maze and only guard survived who saw that the maze is back to its original form. The dome is as thick as ever and even the maze shifted within.
Now it was the third family head to make assumptions. The two family heads wanted to trap him and kill him here to end the war and they used the maze and the weird conspiracy about some game and the gods as the bait to lure him here.
So, he immediately made a sneak attack and tried to escape the spot. The two family heads started chasing him. But it is all futile and since the meeting was held in an open place, the news travelled pretty fast.
As soon as Sam got the news, the dome and the maze disappeared into a puff of glittery glow.
The whole planet was surprised by this display. All the guards that are still alive, the people in the shops and the customers that came to visit, all looked at the maze in awe as two people sat there in the middle of the valley.
Sam took off on the harbinger immediately and left to meet the Five elemental King and Agar.
Akhil and Noah are also with them.
"If the family heads don't realize that they are being played like fools by now, they might be the dumbest family heads that we ever come across."
Noah said as all of them looked at the valley.
The Saber Monarch is still sitting in the middle of the valley and the whole valley looked completely normal, except it is not. Sam's inscriptions are not visible to naked eyes. They are hidden for a purpose. The purpose of leaving a proper message for the creator of the formation.
The news of Saber Monarch's release spread like a wildfire. It is even intense than the news of dome thinning down.
But this time, the family heads didn't want to come out in the open first. They are continuously played for the past few weeks, they lost many soldiers, businesses, trust and the balance they kept for so long, so they decided to sneak into the planet to see this first.
And this gave the news enough time to travel to the rest of Saber Monarch's enemies in the nearby realm.
All of them arrived and the three family heads finally met after confirming the situation.
"This is the only chance we got. We did hav some improvement in past year even if it was little, but the Saber Monarch is constantly tortured in the maze, we need to gather the support of the rest before we go there and attack him."
"But if he is that week, how did he get out of the formation?"
One of them raised the question.
"Didn't you hear the reports? The formation didn't collapse or break, it disappeared. It was cracked the normal way. Whatever it is, it is the work of that second person who entered the formation. I also got the report that he flew away on a metallic board as soon as the formation disappeared.
He might be some kind of master in the art who just came for destroying the formation, Saber Monarch might not even be his intention."
"Or, he is the one behind all of this mess and he is manipulating us since the start."
The argument went on for a while and they decided to meet with the rest of the Saber Monarch's movies.
For the next few days, the meeting was held. There are around twenty people who are here just to confirm Saber Monarch's return. They are all afraid of him. Because they all played a part in imprisoning him.
After some tedious discussions, they decided on a few things.
First thing is that no help would be coming from that youngmaster that helped them with this formation and the setup.
The second thing is, the Saber Monarch must definitely be suffering from some weakness for him to not make a move instantly. This is not his style, he is extremely rash and straightforward and in fact that is the reason he was caught and from the way he threw the scrolls out every night, it could be said that his rash nature didn't change one bit.
So, this is the perfect time to attack.
The third thing is, if the Saber Monarch is stronger than they thought and they couldn't kill him, they would be retreating and will use all their forces to catch the guy who unlocked the formation.
Since he can unlock it, he can lock it back. He would be the only way for them to do this. In fact, the three family heads already sent their forces to search for Sam along with Akhil and Noah as they thought that there might be some kind of connection between the three of them.
And then they decided to attack.
As the twenty of them surrounding the valley on their beasts flying in the air or just from the ground, Saber Monarch looked at them with a smile. It is time for him to put some work into his saber. He is thirsty.
And when the confrontation began, the Five Elemental King and Agar left with Akhil and Noah to the family estates of the Crimson Lightning and the Blood Lightning family.
The heads and some of their men are here, the second powerful people were left at the estate in fear that Akhil and Noah would try something, but since their power level was given to them by the gods, they are not completely afraid. But if they knew the Five-Elemental King is coming, they might have had a different point of view on the subject.
