Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 1672: Blink

Sam stepped forward toward the new captain.

”Do you know what you are doing? Messing with us, equal to making the whole Sura clan your enemy. Do you really want to do that?”

The squad captainʼs voice was calm. Even though, Sam broke the Spear cage with a single move, he is not fazed by it. He is not angry too. He is just calm and collected.

The rest of the squad members came forward as they are looked at Sam vigilantly. They donʼt have the same calm, their captain possessed.

”As I said, I like that guy. And I am pretty sure I donʼt give a fuck about Sura clanʼs status. So, no problem making you my enemy as well. So, donʼt waste your time thinking about stuff like that.”

The captain looked at Sam carefully. He even squinted his eyes as a frown appeared on his face.

”You even have an injury, which is refusing to heal. You body is filled with some kind of weird aura. You seem to be in so much pain. Why are you even doing this? Even if that person is your friend, there is no point in risking your life like this.

Just leave, I will let this go. And we are not killing your friend, we are just arresting for the disturbance he caused. As for how this dispute started and if his claims are true, we will investigate it with utmost impartiality and objectivity.

If what he said is true, not only we will leave him alone, he will also be compensated fairly for his losses and suffering.”

”That sounds so long-winded. How about we just settle this the old-fashioned and easy way. We will fight and blow this matter up until someone authoritative comes. How about that?”

”If someone authoritative comes in, all you can do is die regretfully. That is if you go past me. With that injured body of yours, no chance and it seems like you donʼt even have any Divine energy. Just let this go and live.”

Sam didnʼt speak anymore. He just swung his sword and moved forward.

Every movement he made is hurting his whole body. The corruption seemed to have gotten stronger. It is much more turbulent and it is wrecking his body.

It is almost like pain is traveling like vibrations. Even the breeze hitting him is lightly hurting him. He is actually tempted to wreck all of his pain receptors so that he wouldnʼt feel that anymore.

But the pain is not just physical, it is mental and spiritual. There is no point in eliminating the physical pain.

He just has to grit through it and fight.

As for whether he could eliminate the City guard captain or not, even he doesnʼt know. But that is not his goal in any way. His goal is completely different and this squad captain plays a significant role in that.

And that role doesnʼt change whether he dies or not.

Of course, the squad captain didnʼt make a move.

”Just subdue him and arrest him. Donʼt kill him.”

He just ordered his subordinates to do this and wanted to go after Kach. In his opinion, Kach is obviously the bigger threat here, and in a way he is right. Sam is way too injured to be the major threat.

But that doesnʼt mean, he can just be ignored. As the subordinates were about to make a move and capture Sam, he disappeared from the spot.

He used spatial elements and went to intercept the Squad captain, which is not much of a success, the captain predicted Samʼs destination location because of the spatial energy fluctuations and he made a move.

Sam barely blocked the attack. The spear strike was very powerful and forceful.

The barrier created enough recoil for Sam to be thrown away.

And Sam actually let his body move in that direction and he flew away like a ball thrown away. With his barrier, he actually is within a ball thatʼs being thrown away.

Instead of feeling glum or playing with the ball, Sam made conjured both his shadow elemental energy and space elemental energy into the sword.

Even though it is not as effective without the Shadow sword, it still worked. Sam used his trajectory to cut a large deep gash in space.

The shadow elemental energy burst out of it and it started spreading. The immediate surroundings of the crack were actually covered with blackness.

The crack is way too wide and it spread way too far. The biggest consequence is of course the squad member who was standing there, got effected by the sudden burst of shadow energy as well as Samʼs shadow undead.

The whole squad was caught off guard.

They didnʼt expect such a move from Sam.

Before they could make sense of it, Sam disappeared again and reappeared near the captain. The captain once again instinctually blocked the attack and countered. Sam used force to redirect himself as he left a large gash in the air.

The captain was perplexed because of this. This second slash also took another teammate. But this doesnʼt seem efficient.

If all Sam wants to do is immobilize the squad members like this, he would be better off directly using his abilities to do that. There is no point in blinking towards him and then using this repulsion force to make a move at the others.

But Sam continued doing that.

With every move, his body became more painful. He felt more pain with every attack. He wanted to scream in pain, but he couldnʼt. He could only endure it and continue on this charade.

Kach is having a relatively easier time on the side and he noticed Samʼs situation also. He wanted to come and help, but for that, he needs to finish off his opponents faster. With them on his ass, there is no way, he would be able to help Sam.

He is worried that Sam might get seriously injured or even die.

But as the battle went on, he realized that he underestimated him too much.

Sam only used shadow and spatial elements. He attacked the captain most of the time. By now the captain smartened up and didnʼt send Sam away with his defense. But he realized that it is not in his hands.

Whenever he tried to capture Sam instead of just blocking or deflecting him, he started getting injured.

Sam left gashes on his arms and chest. They are small, but they are corrupted with spatial and shadow energy that is infused around the wounds, making them impossible to heal, at least for the moment.

He knew that the only way is to deflect Sam and then there are their attempts to capture Sam with their formations.

It is almost like Sam could see the formations before they could even be established. He always picked the perfect spot to create a rift to the shadow realm making it impossible for the formation to be finished.

And Samʼs undead is using these rifts to the best of their abilities as they took away some squad members from one rift and left them at the other.

This made the squad members, take in the corruption of the shadow energy.

This corruption made it impossible for the squad to fight anymore.

The ninth young master is feeling scared when he saw this. Two squads are mobilized and if the problem isnʼt solved by then, an elder will be coming.

And depending on the faction that elder belongs to, this whole fiasco could be very tiny or it could be very destructive.

He prayed that he this would just blow off. In fact, he literally prayed with his eyes closed and arms joined.

Kach is almost done with his two opponents. When he finally saw that, Sam made his finishing move. The move that will decide how his plan is going to work out.

He blinked from his spot and the Squad captain put his guard up, he got ready with his spear and when he felt spatial fluctuations nearby, he threw his spear with all his might.

The spear pierced through a dark figure which he assumed would be Sam.

But to his surprise, that black figure disappeared in a puff of black smoke.

As he was thinking about what happened, he heard a loud gasp from the crowd all over.

His senses came back and when he looked around, he was stunned.

Sam is standing right behind the young master.

The ninth young master is shitting his pants as he felt the tip of the sword on his throat.

Sam yawned as he spoke.

”Now, do you think holding the ninth young master hostage will bring someone authoritative?”

”No need for that extra mile, your presence and the fact that you are alive until now is enough to call for an authoritative person. An elder would be coming in a minute. So, it is not too late to surrender now.”

”I wonder how much of a power difference between you and an Elder is and I also wonder what the power difference between you and the elder that I want to meet. There is only one way to find out.”

Sam smiled and he pierced through the skin of the ninth young master.
