Sam activated his energy vision while their swords are still locked. When he saw the energy waves, he couldn’t help but frown.
The Wight commander seemed to be engulfed with a large amount of death energy. And a lot of energy is still being injected into his body by the surroundings.
He looked around with the energy vision only to noticed all the energy is being sapped out of the nearby vegetation.
His body is devouring everything from the plants in the surroundings..
Sam took a step back and once again attacked. Currently, the Wight commander’s strength has amplified a bit, but the main danger lies in his endurance. With this constant supply he can take the battle no matter how long he wants and not only would he succeed in destroying the forest and crops, he would also be able to recover no matter how many times he wants and also sap his opponents dry before killing them.
This is actually not good even for Sam with his overly resourceful energy reserves and his affinity with the spiritual energy in his surroundings.
Sam’s body started circulating the energy waves. He decided to go with the Void style right from the start.
He couldn’t waste time feeling the opponent’s strength and take his sweet time finding his weakness. He has to punch through his very being to make him feel despair. Since the Wight commander’s main asset is recovery, he decided to injure him faster than his recovery rate, and thus one golden beam and a white and grey beam both holding two swords clashed as every clash produced an energy explosion.
The surroundings couldn’t handle this as the decayed trees are being swept away by the aftershocks.
The aftershocks are shredding the trees away. Sam is feeling a little conflicted because of this. If he didn’t attack with full force like this, it would be hard to deal with this guy.
But if he attacked like that, he has to tread carefully in order to not to damage Watt who is sitting nearby. Even the heavenly wine couldn’t make him recover instantly.
Sam and the Wight commander clashed with each other constantly as Sam thought of a solution for this. He tried his best to control the flow of the battle.
But he also noticed that the Wight commander is also trying his best to move the battle away from here.
Sam once again activated his energy vision and noticed that he is trying to take the battle deeper into the forest and that is because the surrounding vegetation is completely decayed and he is trying to get a new source of energy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven though he is devouring the energy from the forest, it is extremely slow. Now Sam finally understood one weakness of his opponent.
His range of absorption is not as far as he thought.
As Sam is thinking about how to exploit his weakness, his rhythm got disturbed by the a sudden wave of death energy that hit him in the chest and he lost control of his limbs for a second making him drop the two swords.
A lump of death energy impaled into his chest of his partial fusion form. He concentrated all his energy into the chest and tried his best to expel the death energy.
The Wight commander didn’t let this opportunity and started attacking. The swords left too many scars on Sam injecting the death energy into his body.
He started taking severe damage and his fusion form was being corroded. When Sam is too damaged to resist, the Wight commander kicked him to the ground and stabbed his hands with the swords pinning him to the ground.
Sam didn’t even groan in pain as the death energy tried to seep into his hands.
The Wight commander squatted down and looked at Sam right in the eyes.
"I thought, I would need more time to finish you off. But it seems like you slipped off a little bit."
Sam moved his head to looked at Watt who is already a safe distance and he looked at the Wight commander’s eyes once again. He didn’t lose his rhythm of the fight nor did he carelessly got injured. He noticed earlier that Watt is trying to leave the area. If the Wight commander saw him and Sam made his move, he might try to take Watt hostage.
That is why he let himself be attacked by him. With that, the Wight commander not only stopped thinking about moving to the forest to get extra energy, he also ignored watt and spent the energy he has already absorbed.
Now it is time for him to act.
His partial fusion form disappeared and a weird smile appeared on his face.
The Wight commander felt something is not right, but before he could react, Sam opened his mouth an intense golden flame came out of it aiming straight at the Wight commander’s eyes.
"ARGGGGGGGH."
The Wight commander felt extremely vexed as he held his face and rolled on the ground.
Sam looked at the swords in this gap and noticed the death energy still injecting itself into his arms.
He closed his eyes and the palms in which the swords are stabbed exploded into a blood mush, before his body turned earthen brown and he disappeared from the spot.
The Wight commander tried his best to recover his eyes and looked around. When he couldn’t find Sam, he frantically used his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings.
But at this exact moment, he felt like his weight increased ten times over and his knees started buckling.
At this moment, the ground behind him shook and Sam came out of it with his body turned metallic Navy blue and his arm turned into a metallic blade as he tore the back of the commander vertically upwards.
The Commander started healing himself rapidly, but before the wound closed, some mutant scales appeared and shot themselves into his body. Sam only used four scales and made them enter his body.
He didn’t control them after that, he just let them stay inside.
While the Wight commander was feeling the agony, Sam walked towards his two swords and took them.
He once again shifted to his Partial light fusion form and started his attack.
This time, the situations of both of them reversed.
While the Wight commander is trying to defend, his whole body would feel the pain as the scales would make a move within his body.
Every time he tried to attack, he would be attacked from inside and outside at the same time.
Sam left the scars full of light elemental energy and vitality on his body. Even though the wights are most vulnerable to wood elemental attacks filled with vitality and they are not as vulnerable as vampires to the light element, if they are attacked enough, even the light element is dangerous.
The attacks from inside and outside are destroying his body slowly along with the extra gravitational effect that is killing him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSam just barely left an inch of life in him. The Wight commander knelt on the ground as he looked at Sam coldly.
He is filled with rage and anger and the more it hurt him, the more he felt like killing Sam.
He looked at him with all the hate and said in a weak voice.
"One day, I will come for you. No matter where you hide in this world, I will come looking for you. I will make you wish that you are dead. I will make you wish that you are never born."
Sam looked at him as he took the chessboard out. But before he could act on it, the Wight commander turned into grey mist and disappeared.
Sam was stunned for a second and looked in the direction.
"Maybe I should stop acting cool and battle everyone. I missed a good chess piece."
He heaved a sigh and looked around to capture the rest of them.
He got a full set of Wights and a full set of Ghouls.
After capturing, the dwarves went on with the rest of the war.
Even though the people from the undead realm disappeared, there are still some people left in the sacked towns.
They led the remaining war. They knew that the situation is out of hand, but most people left here are subordinates and all they can do is follow through.
The Minotaurs and Orcs are the ones who are in the biggest dilemma. They started this war because of the promises from the undead people and in fact, it is instigated by them.
Now they are at a point of no return.
They could only continue with this.
Sam just stayed within the town and focused on his collection of resources for the next month.
His friends are getting good sparring from the MInotaurs and the orcs, so they didn’t want to leave yet.
So, he just decided to stay here further. Anyway, it is about time, he started collecting what he spent.
He took over the spirit stone mines and started hauling the spirit stones. There is around a month for the six months to be over, he would be focusing on his gains for this one month before returning.
