Sam held his gun and aimed at the undead laser. When the players thought he is gonna shoot, he didn't.
He just smirked and disappeared from the spot once again. He reappeared at a different spot and shot.
At that exact moment, the laser changed its way and it intercepted the energy bullet directly.
*BOOM*
The energy bullet exploded with light elemental energy. The energy explosion happened in the exact path the laser is taking. The light energy explosion, dissipated half of the laser the very instant. The undead might have been able to turn into this laser.
But it doesn't know a fuck about keeping it stable.
Keeping the laser mode stable when the light energy fluctuations are happening is the hardest thing possible.
So, all Sam had to do is make it unstable which is as easy as eating cake for him.
The first laser was struck down easily. After the first bullet, it became much slower and Sam even had time to disrupt the other two lasers.
"Fucking hell. How is he doing that?"
Kumar asked as he looked at him.
"Timing. He has the perfect timing. He is beating the speed of these lasers with that."
Noah answered from the side.
As she did, she suddenly sensed something and made a move.
A large dark figure appeared out of nowhere trying to attack her. Kumar reacted faster than her and made a move. It is the shadow undead. In its complete shadow form, using Sam's own techniques.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe difficulty is just on a whole different level.
The players all spread out a bit as they surrounded the shadow figure. Their senses are on all-time high sensitive as they kept a close eye on it.
Meanwhile.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
Three explosions sounded from Sam. The three explosions of the light elemental energy and by now the lasers halted in their spots with half of their glow completely gone. Now it can't even be considered a proper fusion at all.
Now they are just sitting targets. Sam shot other three shots and destroyed the undead.
He noticed that by now the players are busy with the shadow undead. So, he shifted his focus to find out what the fire undead are doing. But to his surprise, they are not on the surface.
He used the eye technique.
He looked around and found the place they are in. Underground. He is surprised because unlike what he expected, the creatures didn't just have the fire elemental energy. They also have the earth elemental energy and to his surprise, all of a sudden eight earthen pipes came out of the ground.
The pipes let out dangerous golden flames.
Sam jumped into the air and used his energy barrier to block those flames.
His body slowly changed as he activated water elemental fusion. The water went through the barrier and entered the pipes. Flooding inside. The undead creatures once again tried using the same technique as if they were alive.
They are using the earth to dodge the attacks.
But this time, Sam didn't have the intention of letting them play for long. He landed on the ground and stopped his fusion.
He sat cross-legged on the ground as earth elemental energy escaped his body. The energy spread to the surrounding area including the place the creatures are currently in. The volume of the earth is spread with his spiritual energy, even though it is very thin.
He used gravitational manipulation. Apart from the small area of the ground that he sat on, the rest of the ground broke apart. It started turning into loose soil and the reversal of the gravitation field made it fly into the air.
Within no time, Sam is sitting on a long vertical pillar in the middle of a large pit. In that pit, the two creatures appeared.
They are trying to escape toward the walls of the pit, but the gravitational force is strong enough for them to be unable to move.
They started throwing flames at Sam out of desperation. But at that moment, the soil that is floating over in the sky moved and created a barrier around Sam.
The flames are unable to do anything to him.
The soil turned into two large spikes of earth as they are aimed at the two creatures.
Sam didn't even open his eyes before the spikes went through them. Even though they have earth elemental abilities, there is nothing they could do. The gravitational lock placed on them didn't let them move an inch and they are unable to resist the onslaught of that attack.
They are gone. Nailed to the ground not even being able to resist.
Sam is done with the fights very quickly. To the point that the players are even shocked a bit.
And Noah felt that Sam is definitely right. He fought like he never did before. The skills were all one shot one kill kind of thing. He never used them in fights before. He always prioritized his energy efficiency.
He never cared if the attacks are majestic, he never cared if they had cool-sounding names, he never cared if they are fancy. All he cared about was killing other people in the most efficient way.
But today, he didn't give a shit about energy. He didn't care how much he has to expend his energy. Because this is the last night mode. After the battle, he would be safe and sound. He doesn't have any threats to be worried about.
He will be thrown into the grey space.
He decided to take this chance to show off. To show off something that players immediately understood as Sam made his move on the shadow undead.
His body slowly transformed into his own shadow. The black aura oozed out of him like some smoke. The shadow looked at Sam, it almost looked like it carried the anger from the target that was killed in the day mode.
It targeted Sam and came at him.
Sam also spread out his own shadow fusion body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBoth shadows are now in a formless form and shapeless shame. Both of them clashed. Like the two serpents combating, they are clashing together as they are tried to overpower each other.
They tried to absorb the energy of each other to come out on top of this encounter. Sam grinned inside his head. He liked this.
He let himself completely lose. He doesn't have to care about the consequences. He doesn't have to care about the aftermath.
The shadows clashed as the energy slowly dissuaded bit by bit.
Players watched him in awe. They slowly understood something that Sam had never explicitly shown off before. Something he hasn't come out and said out loud.
All this while they thought Sam's talents lie in his thinking, his intellect, and his patience. The inventions he had are an added bonus that made everything easy. On top of it all, there is incredible combat strength and IQ.
But from the very careful measures he had always taken, they always thought that he is not invincible, there is a vulnerability that he always tried to cover up, and that is what they thought.
There is a weakness that he wanted to protect and hid from others. Even when Sam gave them some fair conditions out of consideration so that they won't have to go crazily above and beyond all the time, they all thought it is to make sure that everything is under his control.
But right now they knew, even without all of the crazy stuff he could pull, all of the amazing strategies and inventions he could fish out, Sam is still miles above them.
The moves that he showed in the day mode and night mode, clearly proved that he could have ended this whole thing anytime he wanted. The only reason he dragged this long, is because he wanted to.
As they thought this, something struck their mind. Maybe, Sam never bothered to hide it. Maybe they just drew this out of nowhere to feel better about themselves. Dozens of thoughts crossed their minds.
While the clash of those thoughts, the shadows clashed crazily and after a head-on battle, Sam stood in the middle of the aftermath with a smile on his face. The shadow undead was destroyed.
And the very next moment, All the players disappeared from there.
They reappeared in the sky once again. With all of their energy restored. Osiris looked at all the seven players and his gaze stopped at Sam.
"I am really surprised by all of your performance. You are all stronger than any of your peers from anywhere in the universe. Even the greatest factions under me cannot produce people as strong as you in your cultivation range.
Great job.
As for the scores, I don't want to reveal them to you, but I will give out the results in a different way. The last three, Dayus, Donner, and Akhil, will get one wish each from me.
Arkiv gets two wishes.
Kumar and Noah get three wishes and Sam...
Sam gets nine wishes. That is the value of your contributions in clearing this city.
