Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Tamas didnʼt participate in the battle, because he is currently in the middle of a research. In the cave where Sam was stationed, there was a tunnel leading to another cave in which Tamas is currently stationed and is actually looking through different dead bodies.

There are some high level necromancers that realize as much quantity of undead give them advantages, the quality of utmost importance, so they change the bodies of the undead, they take different paths, based on their studies.

There are some people who use poisons and toxins as enhancements, some people that attack special hidden weapons to the undead with some hidden mechanisms inside their body.

Some people that replace the skeletal network with different metals, some modifying the flesh using different experiments.

Tamas style of study is very different he actually got an epiphany before they reached the Merene family, so he was excused from fighting in this battle.

But now that the situation has changed that the greatest resource to their strongest teammates was about to be dissipated, they couldnʼt just let it go away.

They immediately sent a message to Tamas who stopped his research midway and came to capture the soul.

He observed the body and performed a ritual, the soul was then condensed into the dagger used by the Night Ghost.

”Give it to him, he would know what to do. I will be taking this body away. It looks helpful for my research.”

With that he immediately left with the dead body.

The rest of the team took care of the Night Ghost while they handled the clean up as well.

Meanwhile, near the cave, Sam and the young master are still playing their instruments, both of them had their eyes closed.

Currently, the flames surrounding the young master didnʼt change their position and remained same as they appeared at the start.

The blood-red scales also stayed in the same place floating around Sam.

A few beasts are looking at Sam and the young master while they took in the music.

The battle is still a fight between the musical prowess, the elemental energies, and attacks are not yet introduced in it and since it was the young master who started the battle, Sam is matching his tune and played his flute.

Currently, it is a battle of patience on concentration, the first person who couldnʼt keep up with the tune and maintain this balance would start the attack and either of them doesnʼt want to be that.

At this moment, it is like an argument between two intellectuals, the first person to resort to blows would be the one having the lower hand in terms of knowledge of the subject they are arguing.

But as the time passed, Sam started frowning, he understood that he is really not as formidable as the other party in terms of music.

He is clearly the inferior one and he is sure that if this stayed as a pure music battle, he will lose no matter what.

After some thought, he decided to attack. He didnʼt like doing it and certainly didnʼt want to do it, but he needs to do it.

The scales revolved around him for one more time as they glowed with condensed wind elemental energy and moved towards the opponent, they created streaks of wind blades as they moved and they targeted man points on his body.

But the young master didnʼt even frown as plucked the strings rapidly. The spiritual energy in the air created a wave around him and a wave of flames followed that wave of spiritual energy before taking the shape of a human warrior. What surprised Sam, even more, is that as soon as the warrior landed on the ground, the earth started morphing and surrounding the flaming warrior creating a flaming earth golem.

The scales were affected by the wave of spiritual energy and were stopped in their tracks and the flaming earthen golem warrior ran towards Sam with the spear in his hands.

A few more scales appeared from behind Sam as they revolved with wind elemental energy as started hitting the golem from all sides. Their first target was obviously the lower limbs, then the upper limbs and then the head, and finally the core.

In a few seconds, the only that remained on the ground is a small puddle of some magma surrounded by charred rocks.

But Sam didnʼt relax, this is only a probe from the young master. And on top of that, he is extremely vigilant by the fact that the other party is using the earth element too. He doesnʼt know that the other party can use earth elements. This is quite hidden as even Jwala didnʼt know anything about it. She never heard of it and there were never even any suspicions.

As Sam became vigilant, he let go of all the scales and made them float around him. He needs to be vigilant and shouldnʼt hold back.

He kept up with the pace as he looked at the flames that are coming from the veena as the opponent plucked the strings.

The cluster of flames fell on different positions within the battlefield as they turned into the flaming earthen golems. A few changed into the warriors, a few turned into beasts and some turned into knights riding on the beasts.

And the designs of the golems are different, it seems like the young master tried his best to analyze all his previous opponents and created based on them.

Soon, more than two dozen golems are running towards Sam and he replied with the scales in kind.

He only used the wind elemental energy until now and he didnʼt change that yet. The scales started chipping at the joints of all the golems one by one as they made them collapse one after another.

None of them managed to reach anywhere near Sam they are all done for even before they reached fifteen meters around Sam.

As they collapsed they created some puddle of magma and some charred rocks. The advance from the young master didnʼt stop though. He continued with the same approach and soon the whole battlefield is completely filled with magma. It is like one big pool.

All of a sudden, there is a change in the young masterʼs tune and Sam couldnʼt help but frown once again.

The flames started roaring as every single pluck of a string caused a cluster of flames to appear, they started circling around the pool of the magma and even circled behind Samʼs back.

The young master created a large flaming barrier with roaring flames and then the tune changed once again, this time the flame streaks landed in the middle of the lava pool, and once again golems started coming out of it.

This time they used the charred rocks and magma as the base as they slowly took form.

Samʼs tune changed as the scales attacked the puppets, but the scales were affected not only by the waves caused by the young master because of the music, but most of them passed through the magma portion of the other party without causing much damage at all.

It is almost futile.

Sam paused for a second after trying three more times, the small-scale wind elemental attacks done by the scales are not going through the golems and the golem bodies are resonating with the spiritual energy waves caused by the music which makes the attacks unstable. If it was used directly on the person who is physically attacking them, then he might even die because of the constant backlash.

As the golems formed, they are not fast, they are moving moderately towards Sam as they stepped forward in a formation.

The formation enhanced the flaming barrier surrounding the whole battlefield to make sure that he wouldnʼt get a chance to escape.

Sam shook his head and his whole aura changed. He started playing the flute once again and the scales were enveloped with not just wind element but also water element as well and they started emitting steam because of the surrounding heat.

Sam divided the scales into pairs as they moved together towards golems.

One scale held water elemental energy at the beginning and Sam reduced the temperature of the water content with his control causing the elemental energy condensed to be the one between ice and water element. This first scale in every pair also used wind element, but not for attacking, just to stay afloat and move.

As for the second scale in every pair, it has its original wind elemental control and it was also helping in carrying the first scale.

This time, they are also not being affected by the energy waves, because every time the energy wave was about to strike, Sam made the pairs clash. The water elemental scale clashed with the wind elemental scale and Sam used ripple style.

The opponentʼs attack only used a single, but for Samʼs ripple style it has multiple waves caused by the ripples and they moved in all the directions and the waves propagated the cold freezing winds, and just with the first clash, the temperature within the barrier dropped by a lot.
