Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer-Novel
Chapter 185: Javelin ExchangeSam and the deputy although far away, are looking at each other, both had serious expressions on their faces.
The soldiers from Peac.o.c.k’s side are full on defence mode, they knew what the attack would bring.
Sam shouted the first command since the beginning of the battle.
"Come back a little, disengage from the battle and make defensive formation"
The soldiers obeyed and came back, they started making a defensive formation with the earth element users as the main nodes and the rest as the secondary nodes.
One could vaguely see a large mountain shape being formed from the connected spiritual energy.
Sam knew that it would be difficult to handle the attack if the soldiers are dispersed, they will be a lot of targets and the deputy will have the choice to select.
But if all of them are gathered in one spot, there is only one target that. It might be easier to attack but it is also easier to defend.
Sam looked as the Deputy slowly and painfully lifted the javelin as he aimed at the group who currently in the formation.
The lightning currents are crackling with purple colour. This moment, Sam understood the type of attack, it is not only an area of effect skill but it is also quite damageable to the point of contact.
Deputy took a deep breath and threw the Javelin. Sam also moved in a flash on his harbinger.
He is so fast, that he could feel the javelin moving in slow motion.
He could see the sharp tip moving in the direction of the centre of the formation, even though with the formation, there would be less damage than the deputy expected, at the point of contact, the soldiers who are present there would definitely die.
The soldiers are circulated their spiritual energy. The attack’s energy is very less compared to that energy, but they could feel that the people who are near the attack point will definitely suffer.

This is jus like the lightning striking a mountain, even if the mountain remains stable at least on the point of strike there would be some decent damage.
But before the javelin could hit them, Sam arrived. He stood right in front of the Javelin when it was about to change the trajectory and move towards the soldiers. His right hand glowed with golden light. The light element fusion. He moved his arm sharply and caught the Javelin’s pole right below the tip.
*BOOM*
Even though, the lightning cannot affect the light, the impact was still large enough and the residual force started pushing Sam backwards.
He started using the thrust from the Harbinger to counter the force and to come to halt. The Javelin swept him in the air as he moved backwards and backwards.
The ground below him was destroyed, there is a large cloud of red coloured dust, that is floating all over and the loud sound of tail wind from their motion.
After moving more than five hundred meters, Sam finally came to halt. His Harbinger exhausted one half of the energy cells.
His vest inside was shredded into pieces. As held the Javelin down, his right arm started spurting blood. It was badly maligned and the outer layer of the skin was completely cleared.
His bone broke, and his muscle fibres were torn like threads.
Only his Black feather coat didn’t suffer. The combined defence of the Golden sun crow feathers and the Black meteorite sand in the rank 3 are quite something.
He used his left hand and rolled up his right sleeve. His right hand cannot be used. It was almost crippled.
All the soldiers looked at Sam in awe. That is the attack from multiple Novice cultivators emptying their spiritual core at once. That too, the lightning, one of the most destructive elements. Even the Deputy was stunned. He didn’t expect that Sam would take the attack with single hand.
Right now, the deputy himself was barely capable of standing and he was being healed while he was absorbing the spiritual energy his arm was completely scorched and torn. This is the situation of attacker, but the situation of the defender is much better than himself.
He felt like he never truly understood the attack at all. This is completely beyond his comprehension.
His soldiers are already moving into the town and someone came here and carried him and the remaining people who are exhausted.
This was his plan, Sam’s soldiers have impeccable team work, their techniques are unique, they cannot battle them in direct confrontation, so the only thing they could do is, resort to other means.
So, he used this big attack as diversion so that they could have enough time to retreat to the town. He felt happy when he saw the extent of the damage on Sam’s arm. This made him feel like the attack worth it.
But one person was quite indignant and that was the Peac.o.c.k.
"Why are we retreating? Isn’t the attack successful? Why are we going back? Just make another attack like that and kill that guy."
Deputy came out of his thoughts as soon as he heard the shouts.
"Young lord, we cannot win in a head on battle. And that guy is not completely vulnerable, only his arm was broken. And his army doesn’t even need his commands. They are out of our league."
"Do you mean, we have to be afraid of that filthy commoner and his soldiers? I don’t think so. You are the elite army trained by my father. The enemies are the soldiers only trained by a novice for a little over six months, what are you good for?"
Well, this little peac.o.c.k clearly forgot how fearful and terrified he was when he saw the marching of Sam’s soldiers.
Deputy lost his interest to argue and just said a few words.
"We have to leave."
Sam and his soldiers just looked at them without so much as of a movement. His arm is still bleeding.
The Deputy was the last one being escorted by a group of elites.
Everyone else already entered and they took posts on the town wall.
Sam looked at the Deputy who is staring right back at him, the healers temporarily stopped the healing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Sam looked at the Deputy, his calm look changed to the one that of an evil smile.
Then the Deputy saw the most astonishing scene, he ever saw in his life.
The right hand of Sam that was holding the Javelin was covered with the faint golden glow and right as he watched, Sam’s bones got realigned, his muscle fibres got reattached, even the skin started forming, before he knew it, the arm was as good as new and he could say that just by how the grip on the Javelin has tightened.
Sam took a look at the runes on the Javelin after confirming that it was a neutral rune which is mostly for condensing and holding the spiritual energy for the attack, he took out an energy cell of fire element. This cell is as big as hand ball.
As held, both of them, the Javelin was covered in intense golden flames.
"Hurry, Hurry." Deputy shouted to his subordinates.
He was last in line along with some elites and some healers so that they could note down any movements from enemies.
But what he witnessed made him a bit afraid, he had a bad premonition that the attack would be quite a blow.
Sam didn’t even flinch when they are speeding up. His targets are still there.
Within few seconds, the whole energy cell was emptied and the whole javelin was engulfed in golden flames within which one could even sense the heat from the red-hot metal which was on verge of melting.
Sam raised his hand and with all his might threw the Javelin at the Healers.
That’s right, his target was the healers and the main target was the best healer who healed the Deputy.
"Quick, move. Defend." Deputy shouted on top of his lungs.
By this time, the rest of them also understood the danger. At first they ignored Sam, because they didn’t expect for him to recover.
Yes, they were amazed but they didn’t think he would be a threat at the immediate moment.
But the next thing they knew is the Javelin flew with a dazzling golden flame and pierced through the shabby defence they put together and pierced through the heart of the healer and the surrounding area was burned to crisp. Around twenty members were burned to ashes immediately. More than thirty others were injured. The Deputy was one of those thirty and he is severely injured.
The Peac.o.c.k, who saw this scene from the town wall was shocked. He is already indignant about the fact that they are retreating but now they are still being attacked.
That too by a filthy commoner. He was raged with fury.
