Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer-Novel
Chapter 1124: Digging the hillEveryone had different expressions on their faces when they saw the arrow that flew over.
Dayus was shocked and doesn’t know what to make sense of the situation. Because he knew that the Squad doesn’t have any lightning elemental users and he is sure that this is not the way they used to attack.
Brother One is nervous and afraid. The first thought that came to his mind is that he clearly gave the order to withdraw and not attack, but the attack still came. But after the initial shock, he realized what Dayus realized and started thinking rapidly about who this might and both of them came to a single conclusion.
It is Sam. It has to be him.
As for how he did this, they have no idea.
This time, it didn’t happen because of the high-level intelligence gather Sam usually does, rather it was extremely simple and straightforward.
When Brother One is desperately trying to call squad 2, they were unable to pick up, because they were in a battle.
As soon as they reached the city, Sam and the team launched an attack on squad two who were camping in the forest and they clearly observed the incessant alerts on the communication token when they are almost done with the squad.
So, Saber Monarch held the saber at the neck of the squad leader and made him pick up the call, they heard the hurried order, and the line was cut off.
Saber Monarch cut off the throat and Sam instantly concocted a plan.
Even though the fishing plan and the ambush were part of the trap, the plan for fishing was made beforehand and squad two was already informed of it.
Fishing is what this city is famous for and from the memories they gathered from the death squad members, the original plan is for Brother One to fish along with the young master of the subordinate organization and the attack will happen. Brother One would ’heroically’ save the young master of the subordinate organization and almost died only to be able to survive because of the ’luck’.
That was the original plan.
And now the plan seemed to have been modified.
Immediately Sam and the team went to make preparations.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey don’t know how long they would have and if they could have enough time to set the traps. So, they prepared a simple ambush that would mostly depend on the surprise of the opponents.
So, the flashy purple arrow which didn’t attack anyone except create a flashy light was part of the plan.
Currently, the branch leader is the one who is feeling most relieved, even though an attack is happening. Because even though he suspected the first young master, it is mostly his position and his duty speaking.
As an elder for a child, he hoped that something like his thought didn’t happen and luckily nothing like that happened. This attack was confirmed.
While Brother One and Dayus are nervous about the unexpected attack, the elders and the Branch leader are thrilled instead.
As the purple arrows rained down, the Branch leader and the elders started running, there are ten of them moving.
Even though ten elders were sent to the mine, there are the joint forces of the three puppet organizations. But currently, the one that the Branch leader is leading is the main force of the First Branch. If they fall, they would be done for.
It only took a few seconds for them to cover the distance. By the time the third volley of arrows hit them, the Branch leader and the elders are already there and the branch leader let out of his puppet which appeared to be a giant humanoid that aimed and shot two wind elemental cannons which made the arrows stop in the tracks.
The Branch leader stood on the shoulder of the puppet and looked at the arrow trajectory in disdain.
He then turned to three elders and said.
"Take the young master and the other youngsters away and protect them. The rest of you follow me in going after the enemy."
He could clearly guess the approximate location with the trajectory of the shooter, so he got ready.
The rest of the elders took out their puppets and started moving forward, deep into the forest.
Meanwhile, around a thousand meters away from the spot, Vidyut is currently standing on a small hill as he aimed at the targets.
A thousand meters is a long distance but for people at their level, it is small and insignificant.
If it is in a straight flat place they would even be able to see each other with the naked eye.
For an archer like Vidyut, it is a piece of cake to drop a few volleys of flashy arrows.
And with the relatively higher vantage point and the cover of the trees, not only was he hidden, he was also able to guess the location of the group of elders through the commotion they are making and how slowly they are moving as they are afraid that the group would have left any traps, they let the spare puppets check the area before moving forward.
At the foot of the hill, the team is currently digging some holes in the hill at an extremely fast pace. Tamas and Sam even used their undead to dig the holes.
Even Night Ghost was not exempt from that and Sam’s beasts, including the shadow mice, ape, and some extra beasts that he has inside are all digging the hill at various places.
While Sam is tinkering with the harbinger.
He sat on the ground and kept the harbinger on his lap as he removed the energy cells and replaced them with a new metallic device he made.
This is the latest addition to the harbinger and this uses the space cells and energy liquefication methods to form a constant supply as long as he replaced the space jades with wind elemental energy stones.
After fixing that, he turned the harbinger over and took out another metallic object.
It is square in shape and fits perfectly in the middle of the board like a clamp.
He placed it on.
At this moment a human silhouette that has an uncanny resemblance to Sam came out of the board and looked at Sam.
Sam smiled at the human silhouette. This is the spirit of the harbinger. Sam didn’t know why it took so long for the spiritual infancy of the harbinger. But later he understood, it is a humanoid spirit and quite a high-level one at that and when the spirit manifested, it looked surprisingly like Sam, but slight changes in the facial features.
Sam pressed a button on the square metallic device he attached to the board and the spirit which looked white like a condensation of energy suddenly had colors.
This is the holographic projection and some faint energy waves were being emitted from the square device.
Harbinger slowly floated on by itself took a spin around the hill in a quick motion and came back in front of Sam.
"You know what to do."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSam said and the spirit actually nodded and the harbinger left the hill as it zoomed into a different direction.
When the board is gone, Sam turned to the hill and started using his earth element to dig the holes.
After they were done with the holes, Sam started taking out medium-sized liquid energy cells and placing them in different holes.
They are all of space elemental energy.
Vidyut looked at Sam and said.
"They are already halfway there. They can see our activities any minute now."
"Use the liquid energy cell arrows."
Sam gave an order without even taking a look and started placing the liquid energy cells carefully. He didn’t dare be careless at the moment as this is something he hasn’t done before. At least not in reality, he has done this countless times in his brain and in the simulation in the second floor of the divine dimension.
He is careful because the after-effects of this thing are beyond imaginable.
After placing the small and medium energy cells, he took five large liquid energy cells and one cylinder that is almost as big as a large fire extinguisher and started placing them in special spots within the hole.
Meanwhile, the Branch leader and the elders are shocked by the new volley of arrows, they just tried to block them like before, but as soon as they arrived at a certain level, the arrows exploded creating many lightning energy blasts slowing down their pace.
The second half of their pursuit took double the time of the first half of the pursuit.
When they reached the foot of the hill, Sam and his team are standing on top of the hill.
Sam held the ice elemental divine dimension as his teammates disappeared and he held the dimensional drifter in another hand.
The elder recognized Sam immediately.
"Surround him. Don’t let him escape."
The Branch leader ordered and zoomed in, they had already thrown their attacks, but none of it was aimed to kill. They are not skilled at soul extraction, so they need to interrogate Sam.
But as they climbed over the hill, they felt that something is wrong. Sam took a deep breath and kicked his foot on the hill as he leaped a bit into the air before he activated the dimensional drifter.
He disappeared from the spot and at the same time from the place he was standing a faint gray glow started appearing.
