Chapter 1734: Nightmare
Sam just looked at the DemiG.o.ds with an uninterested look.
There is not a single shred of change in his facial expression even though he killed the opponent with such cruelty.
"Next opponent please. You can get lost in your daze later."
As soon as he spoke those words, one of the DemiG.o.ds came out of the daze faster than the rest and snapped his fingers. The gate opened and a new opponent came in.
This one had long hair.
And Sam got ideas as he looked at the long wavy hair. He couldn"t help but get creative.
This guy didn"t act like the others, he had this honorable and polite demeanour, but Sam didn"t reciprocate it.
He just made the first move.
The young man tried to defend himself with his sword, but he didn"t even know what happened before he found himself being held by his long hair while being dragged towards the large hammerhead that was left behind by the Giant.
*BAM*
The head was slammed against the giant stone hammer head.
He felt the world spinning around him. Blood dripped out of his nose and he lost his sense of hearing. All he could hear is the loud beeping sound.
When his eyes finally recovered, he saw Sam holding his hair while sitting on the hammer head in a squatting position.
He pulled the hair once again and slammed the head on the hammer head.
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
The hits are not hard enough to crack the skull open with just one shot, but they are not soft enough for the young man to recover immediately.
He got hit so many times that he felt limp all over. All of the bones in his face are cracked. They are destroyed.
And soon, the fragments of these bones are coming out of the face, and not long after the brain matter started leaking, killing the young man.
"That took longer than I thought. That"s some nice thick skull you got there.
NEXT!"
He yelled out loud bringing the Demi-G.o.ds out of their daze.
They finally felt a bit shaken. After all, they didn"t expect Sam"s strength to be like this. Just like Sam expected they indeed got a briefing. But all they knew is, he can use a lot of elements and he is now being deprived of it.
They were told to break him. Toy with him.
But here, things are all happening in reverse.
They are being toyed with and they can"t physically do anything about it. There is nothing more frustrating than that.
And they almost doubted their senses when they noticed Sam"s cultivation level.
They didn"t dare believe that someone on the same level can destroy opponents who are virtually equal to him in terms of spiritual energy and strength.
It shouldn"t have been possible and they reckon they wouldn"t be able to do it like what Sam did. They wouldn"t be able to fight like how Sam is doing.
He is way too relaxed to be in the arena at the same time as these trained and tested fighters that came across hundreds of battles and won.
They are dangerous. If they were to be put in a battlefield, they would kill dozens if not hundreds and Sam is treating them like little children when dealing with them. This scared them a lot.
The fights went on.
One candidate after another, Sam kept on killing them in the most humiliating and gruesome way he can think of.
And every death only took some time, because he wanted those deaths to take some time.
Sam behaved like an absolute psychopath as he derived a weird technique for every opponent that came.
The Demi G.o.ds saw the Arena turn into a very unique graveyard. They saw the deadbodies that are deboned with Sam"s bare hands hanging from staves and spears like they are some flags.
Then there are some bodies that were dissected with their limbs and guts separated from the rest of the body.
There are some who were toyed with after they were blinded of their senses. The DemiG.o.ds didn"t even understand how Sam made them literally blind by killing their eyes. After all, they still should have been able to use their spiritual sense.
But in his presence, they weren"t able to do that.
He used some trick to make them go truly blind and deaf. They cannot hear, they cannot see, it felt like they are trapped in absolute darkness.
And in the next two hours, Sam broke open the skulls of people, flayed their skin while fighting with them, broke their limbs, deboned, and used those bones to kill the rest.
Tore open their chests and ripped their hearts out while they are still alive and breathing. He has acted like the ultimate barbaric nightmare.
The nightmare that never ends.
He could see the next contestants visibly shaken as they came in and saw the destruction and death Sam left behind in the arena.
The sand is soaked with blood. The whole arena is littered with planted staves, spears, swords, broken bones, and guts.
It is a gruesome scene and in the middle of it all, Sam stood with his whole body from head to toe, soaked with blood. He looked like a true psychopath that likes to bathe in the blood of his victims.
But Sam is unfazed. He just looked at the DemiG.o.ds coldly and shouted.
"NEXT!"
He is almost uninjured. Most of these opponents were unable to leave a mark on him. Few came close, but the damage was negligible and they died just as easily as the rest of their peers. Before they could think of a way to even pin down Sam and attack him, they were destroyed.
The leader of the DemiG.o.ds, the one that put a bounty on Sam"s head with one of the weapons in his treasure trove looked at Sam with burning resentment. But he didn"t let it show in his facial expressions or body language.
But both he and Sam knew that he hates Sam"s guts to the core.
He took a deep breath and looked at Sam as he spoke.
"Since you feel like this is not up to challenge and you even asked us to send all of our contestants at the same time, I hope you don"t mind if I do it now. Don"t say it is unfair afterward."
"Are you kidding me? Just send them all. I still have a lot of energy left, I don"t even know what to do with it. It is almost like I am fighting with some old dead trees now. I am even doubting if these guys really are gladiators.
Or the standard of the Olympus must just be this."
As Sam spoke, the leader of the DemiG.o.ds got even angrier and snapped his fingers.
*SNAP*
The walls of the colosseum on one side opened up and a large legion of soldiers started coming from there.
They looked remarkably like humans. But each and every one of them is seven feet tall and they are built like they are crafted from flesh-colored stone.
Sam never saw a muscle definition like this before.
"Meet my t.i.tan legion. Two hundred of my elite soldiers. That is going to be your final test."
Sam looked at them with his eyes widened a bit.
All the Demi G.o.ds finally felt a bit at ease, but that feeling immediately turned into a sense of embarra.s.sment. After all, they are feeling good about themselves about the fact that Sam got a tiny bit scared or rather surprised by their forces, but they had to use one of their elite legions to do that.
It is embarra.s.sing to even think that they managed to produce such behavior from within them.
Sam didn"t care about it though. His sense of surprise has gone.
And obviously, he didn"t feel the surprise because he was afraid of it.
He was actually thinking of giving out a finishing touch before he leaves this place and the size and the looks of the t.i.tans just gave him the perfect idea for that finishing touch. He will make it so that these DemiG.o.ds will never forget him until the end.
The demiG.o.ds thought that Sam would at least go on a bit defensive or even take a vigilant stance when they saw his initial reaction.
But to their surprise, he made the first move instead.
He dashed forward as he kicked a spear that was on the ground. It flew into his hands as he leaped forward towards the t.i.tan that was at the front and foremost.
He swung his staff to smash it in the head of the t.i.tan who blocked the attack with ease with his ax.
Sam didn"t even blink before he let go of the staff and took out the reaper sword. He stabbed straight into the shoulder of the t.i.tan while he made his descent.
When another t.i.tan was about to attack him from the side, he tore open the shoulder of the first t.i.tan as he forcefully removed the reaper and blocked the greatsword that was coming at him.
