Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 1541: Squads I

Sam, Giyon, and Grivon went off the wall and ran to meet the Clanʼs leader.

There the Clanʼs leader is having a small meeting with the Grand elders as they went through the list of the resources they have and how many people they could spare for various tasks.

The meeting ended by the time Sam reached there and the clanʼs leader directly asked him.

”Are you sure this is that important? I know that you are not one to joke around, but we really do have a very small amount of people. We cannot spare them.

The locations are also a bit far away and very close to the Mari clanʼs camp. This is going to be a tough one.”

”I know that. But it is indeed necessary. I just saw an explosion happen at one of the ambush points and if it is caused by a substance that I think it is, then all of the cultivators below late-stage Astral Plane Consummate level would be having some serious trouble.”

”What is it that made you this flustered?”

”Have you ever heard of Elemental energy poisoning?”

”Yes, I did. Why?”

”Well, I created something that causes normal spiritual energy poisoning.”

”You are kidding arenʼt you? There is no such thing as spiritual energy poisoning. That is what all the people are made of.”

”Well, there is one now. And I am the one who made it. So, I am pretty sure you can trust my words on it.”

”How potent is it?”

”It is actually a liquid that immediately turns into gas upon contact with external spiritual energy and if the liquid is contained in an extremely compressed container, as soon as it expands, it explodes.

It will seep into the people very quickly and it will make the spiritual energy denser within the body.

So, dense that you would feel like lead is flowing through your veins. 

The nature of this spiritual energy is different and it will conflict with the spiritual energy inside the body. The more the poisoned person tries to use their own spiritual energy, the more they will be affected.

Their muscle fibers, skin tissues, bones, and organs, everything will be infected as it will seep and solidify.

If it has enough time within the body, the person will not be able to fight or even move. The pain will paralyze them for hours and I am sure you know what can happen in hours.

It is certainly different from the regular elemental energy poisoning, but I cannot think of a better name other than Spiritual energy poisoning. Of course, there are some similarities like how in both cases the energy seeps into the tissues and corrodesthem.

But here the spiritual energy does the same just without the presence of the elemental energy.”

”Yeah, I am pretty sure you are dumbing it down for me. Anyway, are you sure that this is what they have in their hands? How sure are you? How dangerous can it get?”

”It depends on how much they have actually. If they have a small amount, then they can deal with a few dozen people if used properly. I think that is the reason they were given to the ambush team, they wanted to take out some higher-level opponents if they get a chance.

But if they have a really really huge amount, even the peak stage cultivators would be affected.

After all, they are not completely devoid of spiritual energy. They are made of it also, but the amount should be extraordinarily huge.”

”How huge? Can you give something quantifiable?”

”Something that could create a small pond in your backyard?”

”That much? How hard is it to make?”

”Depends on the level of artisans and formation masters in Sivanʼs possession and at the moment, I canʼt gauge how good they are. They managed to make the light chamber. There is a good chance they might have been able to do this too.”

The Clanʼs leader sighed and replied.

”Alright, I will send a squad. But what level of the squad do we need?”

”From what I can see, the Peak stage Consummate cultivators are not going to move with Gail present. Send Gamin and Yuvana to the wall. They will not move.”

As they are speaking, Gail called Sam.

”Some groups are moving in two different directions. They are wearing brown colored heavy armors and half of them are wearing red and brown colored light armor.”

”Cultivation levels?”

”Middle-stage Consummation. That is my guess. Maybe a late-stage here and there.”

”Alright. Thank you. Just stay there and keep the Peak stage cultivators in check. As long as they donʼt move we can handle it.”

Sam looked at the Clanʼs leader and explained the situation to them.

”Alright, I will find the best squads and send them.”

”I will be more relieved if you can move Senior Elder Ma. I want him to make a direct move. He will be the best for the operation.”

”Alright, what do they need to do?”

”Collect all the possessions on the ambush squad on the west. Collect the soil, rock, wood, or even flesh samples from the ambush squad on the east. There is an explosion, I need to test those samples.”

”I donʼt know why you need those samples, but I am assuming they are important enough to put the squad at risk.”

”They are important enough for Sivan to send out some of his best soldiers to find them. You tell me.”

”Alright. Alright. I will send the forces.”

While Sam is convincing the Clanʼs leader, back in the camp of the Mari clan.

Sivan is pacing around hastily as he looked at the main subordinates who are in charge of the various squads he had.

”How did that liquid leave the camp? Who the fuck allowed the Ambush squad to take those things away? Did I give permission to use them?”

The leader of the Ambush Squads looked glum and bowed his head. He didnʼt dare to speak up.

Sivan is really angry this time.

”That is one of our trump cards and should only be used when I told you to use it. Didnʼt I say these exact same words whenever you were trained to handle them?”

”Yes, Sir.”

”Then why did they go out of the camp? Why are they out in the open, completely exposed?”

”It…”

”Tell me, what is the point of holding back now.”

”The squad members are trying to find a moment of glory. The ambush squad is the least eye-catching squad because of the nature of our operation. They knew that this war is going to be talked about for centuries, so they just got greedy and vain to look for some glory.

They wanted to see if they can catch a real big fish in the war by chance and if they find it, they donʼt want to be underprepared.”

”You do realize that there are a bunch of assumptions and unrealistically hypothetical scenarios in that, right?

If you idiots can even find a blind spot to hit some big wig, the hit has to land, and then you need to survive to take that glory.

What the fuck is wrong with you guys? I repeatedly told you before. The only reason you are selected for the Ambush squad is that you are good at stealth. You do well when you are hidden and away from the eyes of the people on the battlefield.

That is literally your expertise and your glory solely lies in being unrecognized and unidentified on the battlefield.

Do you guys really want to be remembered and glorified, then do what you are told to do and do it with exceptional efficiency and effectiveness. Then we can talk. 

Pathetic excuse of men.”

Sivan spat coldly and looked at two more people.

”The earth armored squad and Meteor squad are to find those things at any cost. Also, clean up the whole area on the eastern side. Not a single trace of the explosion should be present.”

”The squads are already on the way. We will be done before you knew it.”

”Donʼt count on it too much. I am pretty sure that bastard has seen the explosion. You better get ready to engage whenever you can.”

As he spoke, he looked at Avlyn and the Divine league members.

”I would appreciate it if one of you goes to retrieve these things.”

”Why donʼt you send your grand elders?”

”Because, once the Peak stage cultivators move, then the other party moves as well. Then my grand elders will definitely die. You at least have a chance.”

”What if we were dealt with Gail? Things would go wrong real soon.”

Sivan sighed and looked at her frustration.

”Keep seven of the ten people here. Stand in front of the camp and attract Gailʼs attention. Then the remaining three can move anywhere. If you are just afraid of him, then I am sure you are comfortable engaging Gamin and Yuvana. Arenʼt you?”

”No, Not happening. Time is not right for us to make a move.”
