Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer-Novel
Chapter 1179: Hunting the Hounds IISam zoomed past the trees as he searched for one particular target.
The captain of these hound guards. The hound guards have three teams and each team has a captain. Sam, Noah, and Kumar decided to take down each team and Sam directly wanted to go after the captain first.
Once the leader is down, the chain of command with collapse and it would be easier to deal with the rest of the guards.
It didn’t take long for Sam to get near this guy.
He is in charge of checking all the possible hiding spots in the forest and it is necessary to take him and his team out as fast as possible so their traps wouldn’t accidentally go triggered or damaged.
Sam once again sent the shadow mouse to attack the hound. The captain is a Peak stage Pre-transcendent cultivator and even his hound is on the same level. The shadow mouse he is using now is not the one that he made the contract with, this is also on the same level as the hound.
The mouse pounced onto the hound and started carving his skin up.
*HOWL* *GROAN* *GROWL*
It started making different noises in pain.
The shadow mouse left more than ten wounds and stood in front of the hound. The guard captain and the two guards following him were stunned by this scene. They didn’t expect that a mouse would be present here and it is even dealing with their hound that easily.
The hound didn’t even wait for the order from his owner and pounced onto the mouse which dodged and zoomed onto a rock, the hound stopped and turned around to go after it.
This time, the mouse dodged a little later, making the dog unable to dodge in time and crashing into the rock Of course, there is not much damage from the rock and it even got crushed.
But the dog became angrier.
"Stop, it. Come back." The guard captain yelled as he looked around. But the hound didn’t listen to him and just kept on fighting with the mouse.
Sam who looked at it felt a bit surprised. The beasts are always loyal to the person with who they contracted with. Of course, there are differences in contracts. Like one of master and servant and another like a contract of equals, but in either of them, the beast will definitely listen to the words of the person. But here it is completely different.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe beast completely disregarded him and that too the beast is a canine. Sometimes, as long as a person managed to cultivate a better relationship with the canine even without a contract, they could be friendly. Much less with the contract.
Sam just thought about that for a moment and took out a spear.
He channeled his spiritual energy into it and threw it towards one of the guards.
The guard sensed the danger and moved to the side and was about to turn around, but the spear just stabbed from his left side into the ribcage and went through his body to come out of the other side.
Sam jumped down at the same time and the guard captain and the guard looked around stunned.
They were just about to deal with that mouse that is toying around with three hounds like they were some harmless little puppies.
They immediately jumped to their comrade to support him as he is barely breathing while the guard captain took out his sword and he looked around vigilantly.
He suddenly swung his sword to the side and Sam who just appeared there, blocked it with his hand and the feather coat is glowing with a golden light on the area of contact.
His other hand was covered with a faint gray metallic luster as he activated metal elemental fusion and threw a punch in the rib.
The ribs punctured the lungs and the guard captain started panting heavily as he tried to breathe while his lungs are drowning with his blood. He took out a pill and swallowed it while trying to realign his bone after he pulled the guard to buy some time from Sam.
But all Sam did was give him a Spinning sidekick on the chest with the same partial fusion and the guard’s rib cage was broken making all the bones go through the lungs and heart. The guard fell down as he palpated while the life slowly left him.
The guard captain became anxious and tried to look for help from the hounds. But they are not in a good state themselves, one of them already died, and the other had limbs torn open. The last one is still struggling with the mouse.
"I.. I am the Guard Captain of the Hound Guards. You cannot do this to me. The Myriad Beast sect wouldn’t leave you alone."
Sam shook his head in exasperation at the routine words that are being said to his face.
He lunged forward and gave a front kick straight to his chest and this time used void style. The chest exploded and Sam could see the broken ribs and the punctured lungs along with the faintly beating heart.
He walked forward and used extracted the memory before collecting their corpses. The mouse was also done with the hounds. He threw them into the storage to feed the Zoi termites and other beasts.
He took the communication token of the guard captain and tried to contact the subordinate guards.
"Everyone, come to the forest patch. Take a left from the main path and get to five hundred meters. I have a lead on the targets."
Sam said it in a whispered tone, cut the communication immediately, and didn’t even pick the token when the other side tried to contact.
He just sat there with a bow and waited for them to come.
After five minutes, he saw the signs of the first person and since Sam’s eyesight is better than his peers because of Roc’s bloodline, he spotted them way before they could spot him and he took an arrow to aim at them.
He channeled light elemental energy to shoot and the arrow went without any sound and at a very high speed as it lodged itself into the eye of the target, before he could react. He died while his mouth stayed open.
The group halted in their tracks and immediately tried to take cover.
Sam just nocked another arrow and used fire elemental energy this time.
The arrow went through the forest setting a small trail of fire as it landed on the hound of the person he killed.
*BOOM*
The arrow caused an explosion of golden flames, forcing the guards out of their hiding.
Sam changed to a wind elemental arrow instantly and attacked the guard who barely managed to block it.
But unfortunately, the arrow went and hit the hound of another guard which made the hound turn into a shredded lump of meat.
The guards couldn’t help but gasp in horror.
They are extremely far away and with the added veil of the trees and the forest, they could barely see Sam and estimate his location.
As for attacking him from this far, it is not exactly possible as they might not be able to aim their sword attacks that far. And for a sword ray to reach that far, it takes too much energy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf they did that, they would be sitting ducks if Sam didn’t die in a single shot.
One of the guards even tried that in desperation, but Sam didn’t even bother to dodge. The sword ray that was shot at him, didn’t even make anywhere near him. But the next arrow directly hit the guy squarely in his face. Right in the middle of his forehead and killed him.
Sam then nocked another arrow and this time, he used water elemental energy and his poison energy at the same time.
He looked at the remaining guards who are about to run away and shot the arrow.
The guard managed to dodge it but the hound was hit. But this time, unlike the other the hound just didn’t explode outright.
Rather it started bulging like a balloon and it soon exploded after bulging to a certain extent.
The blood sprayed all over the place mixed with the poison he shot and made the skin of the guards and the hounds burn.
"ARRRGGGG" "HOWWWWWWWLLL..."
The people and their dogs are groaning and howling pain like crazy.
The guards ran with all they got.
Sam used the dark elemental energy next and this time, he used a curse.
The arrow hit the hound. But it didn’t die instantly. It ran along with the arrow. The guards didn’t think much of it and let it run like that, but all of a sudden, the hound pounced on to the nearest guard and bit on his neck.
The rest of the guards tried to break them down, but the dog became completely made and tried to kill whoever came at it.
While they are struggling, Sam changed to lightning element, and this time, he didn’t shoot straight. He pulled the string to its limit and aimed higher before leaving the arrow. The group saw the flashy attack coming from the spot and started running as they left the hound and their companion to die.
The arrow created a silver parabola across the sky as it landed right in the middle of the running ground.
*BOOM* *CRACKLE*
The lightning explosion made them all crash around. Their bodies are slightly paralyzed and numb all over.
The people nearest to the strike were injured severely and if they are not treated instantly they would die.
