Chapter 697: Attack on the caveSam left the first two teams behind and escaped.
He then went into another random direction to see if he would meet another team and he did.
The situation turned extremely easy for him as he dealt with at least thirty vampires, twenty-five ghouls, and thirty-two Wights.
He is on a spree.
But what he doesn’t know is that he is not completely trouble-free.
Someone is actually watching his activity closely.
After all, the Undead realm doesn’t just belong to these three races.
At this moment, a Wight and a human are standing with a black translucent figure floating in the air right beside them.
The wight is someone Sam is extremely familiar with, he is none other than the wight commander who ran with the tail between his legs.
The translucent figure is a specter.
The Wights know that it is extremely difficult to deal with the Vines themselves and they couldn’t think of a way to physically overcome their threat, so they went to find someone that couldn’t be defeated physically and employed his abilities.
The Specters are not exactly friendly with the rest of the races but they are not unfriendly either, it is just that they are aloof, only the Wight commander who is hungry for power managed to get some contacts with the aloof race by giving them what they want.
He wanted to use these favors in the power struggle of the Wight race and boost his position to become a king, but now he is using some of them to just deal with Sam. One must wonder how much he hates Sam to sacrifice such valuable contacts.
At this moment, the Specter that looked like a human is floating in the air as he closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking something.

You really pissed off the wrong guy."
"I don’t need that evaluation, I want you to find a way to get rid of him." The Wight commander said coldly. But when he felt the cold gaze of the specter on him, he immediately understood his position and calmed down.
"I am really sorry."
"I can never understand where this superiority comes for you, undead creatures. Being a human is a thousand times better." He muttered in a low voice and then continued.
"I can see the tracks of his soul and find his hideout. But that wouldn’t be easy to afford."
"Don’t worry about the cost, as long as you find the hide-out, we can defeat them easily."
"Don’t get your hopes up. All you are is one pre-transcendent stage wight and a Transcendent stage human, do you really think you guys are enough to cause trouble to them? He is literally playing with you guys and you want to attack them directly?"
"In the Banished realm, there is no powerful being behind him, in fact, he had a hard time controlling the dwarves as he went through so much resistance. If not for the fact that we cornered the dwarves, they wouldn’t even bother to follow his lead.
This is something I am sure of. If he really has someone powerful behind his back, he wouldn’t be hiding like this."
The specter just led the way with a shrug, he is not the one that is going to be in trouble if something really happens.
As they are moving towards the Bat cave, Sam suddenly felt something is wrong. He didn’t just set the traps to attack, he also made sure to set some that could notify if a powerful enemy appears near the hideout.
He just created a simple formation that would just collapse if a person with a certain energy level appears near the vicinity. He just enchanted the formation with a spirit and made a contract with it, when the formation collapses, the spirit will disappear and he will be notified.
He looked towards the Bat cave and frowned. Because the traps that went off are not supposed to be going off.
There is a series of formations that were placed together, there is a certain order that would go off, but the first few didn’t go off, but the ones in the middle went off.
It is extremely hard to fathom that someone who can avoid the first set of traps would appear, this made him feel worried and started moving towards the cave.
But he is already late.
The trio already reached the entrance of the cave and they even avoided the vines because the human transcendent stage cultivator is carrying the Wight commander and the vines are not reacting to the specter.
Philip and the Gang already noticed them and got ready to fight or flight. By now, Sam has so many Transference scrolls that he gave one to each of his team members. If push comes to shove they can escape, but he highly doubts that they would escape leaving Jack in his situation.
Right when the three enemies are at the entrance of the cave, Philip could estimate the powers of the people that came here. He is the stand-in lead when Sam is away.
He could also guess that the strongest of the three is the human, this made things trickier for them. The human increased the pressure as he attacked the formation that is defending the entrance of the cave.
The team is worried too much about the situation and they decided to attack instead of defending.
There are some inscriptions on the cave walls and they all stood in their respective positions.
This is the final line of defense and since the rest of the lines are not useful, this could be considered as the only line of defense.
As all of them took positions, the formation activated and even the spirit manifested. If one noticed, they could understand that there is no death energy inside the cave, it is just normal spiritual energy and this happened because of some modifications they made.
The whole cave glowed with spiritual energy as the Zoi termite queen and the rest of the locust queens came out of their hiding along with some Bee puppets.
As soon as the three people came inside the cave, they understood that their situation is not as optimistic
The formation spirit is actually a humanoid silhouette with all the elemental energies combined.
There is wind, water, lightning, fire, metal.
The spirit clashed with the human cultivator directly. Actually, this formation was designed to be used by five people including Jack, but since he is not in his conscious, they couldn’t do anything about it and only use the formation as it is.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere is also another drawback and that is this formation is not a permanent one. It is actually a temporary one and wouldn’t be able to hold on for too long.
The battle started and everyone is fully tense. The transcendent human took the brunt of the attacks and it is an equal challenge. They clashed continuously and the whole cave trembled. At this moment, the bee puppets moved.
The puppets shot the stingers from their tails and it is full of poison mixtures.
They work for both humans and undead anyway, so there is nothing to worry.
After that came the insect queens the battle is so tense that the wight commander is not even qualified to join the battle.
He couldn’t even go to the individual positions of the formations, and then he looked at Jack who is standing in the corner as he held his sword, he suddenly had a thought as he heard about the news. The swordsman in Sam’s group actually managed to take the legacy from the valley.
He became greedy at the moment and decided to do something.
As soon as he neared him though, the situation turned south, a sword ray destroyed his arm and threw him into the middle of the battle.
The human became distracted instantly and the formation spirit managed to take a good clean hit.
Right at this moment, the human finally lost it and he threw the Wight commander to the cave entrance before going berserk.
The situation turned extremely tense and the cave walls are crumbling because the inscriptions couldn’t take the backlash of the battle the time for this is ending.
Philip and the rest of the team are losing due to the sudden berserk human attacks and soon the formation was destroyed.
All the teammates are spitting blood and decided to take out the protection trinkets that Hou Yi gave them. Even all they could do is endure the attacks for a while, that is all they need to do. The transcendent human is also heavily injured and is almost on his long legs.
All they need is some time for Sam to return.
Wight commander is ecstatic as he was only a step away from achieving his goal.
But before they could activate the protection trinkets, something else happened.
Jack who is standing still for more than fifteen days suddenly moved.
With a swing of his sword, the sword energy that was surrounding him since his time in the valley was expelled out of his body tearing his skin apart, and the sword ray that came out of it cut the head off of the transcendent stage human.
