"Are you sure about that? I think it would you, that is going to have troubles with all your little overly powerful toys being restricted from the user due to our rules. I think you wouldn't even have some mildly powered things to use."

Noah said as she gave him a side-eyed glance.

"Oh, really? You don't really have to worry about that. In fact, I am pretty sure that I would be able to deal with anyone in this place and as for the top dogs of the city, the administrators come powerhouses of this city, I would be able to deal with them, without even using my own attacks."

"Yeah, yeah. We will see."

Noah said snidely.

"How about a wager then?" Sam said which made the other two, stop in their tracks. They looked at Sam with surprise. They just felt that Sam is a bit bragging when he said he wouldn't use his own attacks to deal with the opponents. After all, the people they are about to face have high-level cultivation, at least some of them and it would be impossible to not throw in their attacks. In fact, they need to use everything they have including some trump cards.

But now that Sam is asking for a wager they were really surprised.

Noah thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"If we win, you need to design a city for us. All the defenses and constructions suitable for our affinities and strengths."

"A city for both of you combined?" Sam asked as he looked at them weirdly and understanding the meaning of that gaze, both of them blushed a little.

"Alright, but what would you give me if I lose?"

Noah thought for a moment and said.

"The exclusive notes of the research of Divine dimensions and their fragments."

Sam raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"That is a deal. You guys better prepare the notes in advance."

"You need to win first," Noah said and the two of them turned around going inside the hall.

They were greeted by a number of administrators who are still busy with their duties.

Sam stayed a step behind and started doing some hand-signs. Dark elemental energy surrounded him as he activated fusion and a spell that could combine multiple attacks into a single curse appeared in his hands.

He controlled his energy as he made sure the spell didn't destabilize and closed his eyes. The shadow undead appeared from under his feet and surrounded him.

By now, the administrators already reacted and started attacking.

A Fire serpent spat a large amount of Slimy magma at Sam, but he just kept his eyes closed and created an area around him completely under his influence with his spatial element which makes the attacks slow down by a large margin.

He is balancing the curse power, the shadow undead, and the space element altogether and the large ball of magma didn't make it towards him and slowed down.

Sam controlled his Merging curse and swallowed the Magma ball.

He slowly walked forward and the shadow undead directly went after the serpent with their attacks.

The serpent was taken down in no time and meanwhile, Sam caught a ball of lightning aimed at him and large turbulent air cannon focused on him.

But he just kept on moving forward without even opening his eyes. One of the administrators observed this scene and felt a bit lost, all the ranged elemental attacks that were focused on Sam stopped in front of him and they mysteriously disappeared into the mass of dark elemental energy hovering in front of Sam.

He picked his sword and ran towards Sam to land an attack directly.

But as soon as he entered the range of the influence under Sam's control, he couldn't even move his hands much less attack. He stopped in a weird posture and couldn't even breathe properly as he hovered in the air and just when he thought that he would be free when Sam moved, he realized how simple his thinking was.

He actually moved along with Sam. Nothing changed except for their initial positions. Everything in that area of influence relative to Sam remained the same.

Before the administrator could do anything, one of the shadows came with a dagger and sliced his throat, and then only was he freed from the spatial lock.

Noah and Kumar looked at the situation and couldn't help but shake their heads in exasperation. Particularly, Kumar. He looked at Noah and said.

"You just had to provoke him didn't you?"

"He started it first."

"Of course, he started it, because he can back his words. Did you see that black thing in his hands? Even I can feel that it can pack serious damage from here."

"What are you so complaining about? It is not that big of a deal even if we lose. All we need to give away are some notes."

"You and I know that it is not about the payment of the wager."

Noah didn't retort and just focused on fighting.

She knew that it is not about the payment, it is just they kept on losing Sam since this game has started. He was just overly prepared every time. It is almost like he is terrified of losing and prepared for every scenario in advance.

She couldn't even think of one instance where he felt a genuine fear of dying and not being able to do anything to change the situation. He always had a way to turn around and it was not even that hard.

All the things that are hard were the preparations for that situation. As for the execution, it was always the easiest part in his case.

It could even be said that throughout the game over the years, Sam had the most smooth-sailing journey of them all.

So, since they caught with the rules of not using his excessive preparations, she felt like they would have some edge over him.

But she really did underestimate him and didn't learn from the previous failures. Now, there is going to be another loss in her account.

While she is thinking and killing, the three players noticed some external presence coming into the room and looked up the stairs.

The Young Lord and was followed by two men and one woman whose cultivation level seemed to be Initial stage transcendence.

They are the three top dogs of the city.

The players couldn't help but exchange a glance.

This coincidence just made things easier for them.

They don't have to worry about extra people attacking them while dealing with these people.

The young lord also looked at the three players in this gap and sneered.

"I will kill those administrators on the guard duty today, how dare they slack off like this and let these three pests enter the town hall."

He paused and looked at the administrators that are already dead and the struggling ones that are still alive.

"Just how useless can you guys be, you can't even kill three people."

The three administrators standing behind the young lord couldn't help but grit their teeth and suppress their anger.

The Young lord they are serving really doesn't have any self-awareness and cannot process the situation properly.

Even they could tell that the people on the guard duty are either dead before they knew it or completely unconscious.

If it was just one or two people, then it could be considered them slacking off, but if that many guards didn't manage to notice three people coming in and particularly in such an overbearing manner, there is no way they would all fail.

So, the administrators are not to blame.

But they are sure that this thick-skulled young lord wouldn't be able to understand even if it was laid bare and explained to him.

As they thought, the young lord turned to him and said.

"Take care of them. I don't want them dead. I need to interrogate them. So keep that woman alive. She looks good enough."

He looked at Noah as he licked his lips.

Noah gritted her teeth and launched herself forward as a bunch of vines suddenly appeared under her feet and pinned down all the administrators around her.

One of the top dogs came in her path and blocked her ascent and when Kumar was about to help her out by blocking that top dog, another top dog came in and stopped him.

"Spear user? That is good."

Kumar said as he changed his spear and looked at the top dog with a cold smirk.

The person who is fighting against Noah is a sword user.

And the last top dog who was also the only woman of the three turned out to be a mage.

Sam still didn't open his eyes, but he 'saw' everything that is going on here and the woman that happened to be the mage didn't know that she is in for something good.

He is the worst opponent she could have picked now.
