Chapter 660: Taking Action
Chapter 660: Taking Action
Sam returned to the house and he once again went back into the divine dimension. His production unit can work faster and he also has more time in this place. While the dwarves need around two hours to three hours for one.
Sam could do one in an hour and he can even assemble them in a few minutes.
He could ship them faster than them. But he couldn’t stay inside for long.
He has to be on the battle-field to control the flow.
So, he only stayed for another one and half hours and made around fourteen crossbows.
He went to the walls. There are three sides that are being attacked and he just dropped five crossbows on each side of the wall.
He already placed one crossbow on the first with the four added to that place, all three sides have five.
After giving the spears and the crossbows, Sam went to the wall with the most number of catapults active. The front gate of the town.
Here, Philip and Watt are working together to stop the boulders and attacking the catapults. But they also have to deal with the two Pre-transcendent opponents on the flying beasts. If not for the fact they have hoverboards, this would have been a much tougher challenge.
He doesn’t have too many owls with him as he left most of them back on the home planet for the troops and students.
If not for that, he would have some good defense against the flying troops of the enemies, but now they can only defend and with the Catapults, it is also horrible.
Sam didn’t bother waiting for the dwarves to tilt the balance. He knew for the fact, that he has to find a way to destroy as many enemy troops as possible.
Whatever that is stopping them from activating all the catapults at the same time, that is acting to his advantage at least for now.
Sam took out the reaper and sent a sword ray as he cut a boulder and zoomed towards the enemies on the Harbinger. The Nascent stage cultivators didn’t dare attack him. They can feel the energy waves and they knew they are not his match.
One of the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators came forward and this guy even has an elemental affinity with the wind element.
Now only Sam could focus on their beasts and when they saw the beast he was on, he was stunned for a second and he now knew for sure these people have some connection with the Undead realm.
Because this beast will only be able to survive in a place with a lot of death energy.
This is called Undying vulture. This name is quite deserving because, unless the corpse is completely destroyed, the beast has a chance of turning into undead due to all the death energy it normally circulates when it is alive.
Sam held the sword in his hand and started his battle. The Minotaur clearly couldn’t control the beast to the full extent, the beast is moving according to his instructions and sometimes it is moving on its own instincts.
Sam felt like this is the opportunity and started focusing attacks on the beast instead of the person.
Generally, it wouldn’t matter who he attacked as both of them are Pre-transcendent and if they are linked and fought together properly, they could dodge it. But now they are not in sync.
The beast would always try to save its own skin before the person that it is carrying.
And it did just that.
Sam moved swiftly on his board as he cut the beast’s wings. He didn’t care about the Minotaur at all and the Minotaur slowly started losing control of the beast as it became angry.
Sam started using light element attacks on the beasts. The light element full of vitality is the bane of this beast that craves death energy.
When the beast is injured enough, Sam took advantage and made a big slash towards the Minotaur with a light blade escaping the reaper and bearing down on him.
Minotaur felt like he couldn’t block it, so he tried to control the beast to dodge, but it didn’t listen as it is still angry at Sam, and Minotaur couldn’t help but dodge to the side a bit still standing on the beast.
The light blade slashed his hand and cut the wing of the vulture at the same time, causing them to crash to the ground.
And coincidentally they are crashing into the catapult.
*THUD* *CRASH*
The beast and the Minotaur are extremely heavy and for some reason, the formation didn’t block the creatures from falling it as it might not have considered it an attack.
But as they crashed, even though the catapult was not completely destroyed, its mechanism broke a bit and fell to the side.
The best part is that the vulture and the Minotaur caught that grey flame and started going crazy as they smashed everything with their full power.
The troops surrounding the Catapult and the machine itself took the full brunt of the damage. The Catapult was destroyed by both of them and some men caught the grey flame from them.
Sam started attacking the people who tried to kill the two before they turned undead and checked the process with his eye technique to estimate the time that they would take to turn.
But all of a sudden, he noticed something.
The people that are operating the catapult don’t have any vitality at all. Sam doubted his eyes and looked around to check the people from other catapults. He noticed that there is a team of few people with no vitality but walking with consciousness.
They are undead, but they have their own consciousness. There are only a few creatures like that and they don’t belong in this realm.
His breath turned cold and he started looking around. But he couldn’t fully concentrate on investigating that as the rest of the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators noticed that two of them are becoming undead and came there to kill them off.
But focused on defending them and even controlled the vitality of the two creatures to burn quickly in the middle.
When they are finally done changing, he just escaped the place and looked around at the Catapults.
All of a sudden he noticed an anomaly.
There is a human-looking creature without any vitality, walking from one Catapult to another in the most inconspicuous way and he is sitting behind the frame of the catapult as he placed his hand and seemed to be doing something.
He took advantage of the gap the two undead and two Pre-transcendent Minotaurs fighting together and started observing.
He pushed his eye technique to the limit and observed the Catapult and that person and found out that there is a place within the Catapult where a fist-sized lump of energy is present. The energy is a mix of death energy and some other force and it seems to be in a sealed state. The energy the person is sending is slowly attacking that seal and cracking it bit by bit.
He went back to the fight zone towards the broken Catapult and looked around.
There he saw a fist-sized grey stone oozing with grey smoke.
He waved his hand and threw it into the second floor of the divine dimension to a far corner where there is no equipment.
This thing seems to be responsible for the grey flame and Sam could also guess the reason why the catapults are not used at the same time.
But as soon as Sam bagged that stone, the person who is activating the catapults one by one looked at him and charged towards him.
Sam dodged him and stood on Harbinger as he looked at him coldly with a sense of provocation. This guy is clearly not a human and Sam has few guesses on who he is.
But what better way than fighting him directly to find out.
“Give that stone back. Or you wouldn’t be able to live. Even if you take it away, that would be the death of you.” He said as he scanned Sam’s body and frowned.
“Where is the stone? Its energy is too unstable, it couldn’t be stored in spatial storage. Where is it?”
Sam didn’t answer and looked at him with a smirk.
That person didn’t pursue Sam further and said to the people around.
“Kill him. As fast as you can.”
As soon as he said that a Minotaur ran towards the commander of this side.
Sam wanted to attack this guy, but the two Minotaurs fighting with the two undead creatures switched places with him and came at Sam, while the other person went to deal with two undead creatures.
His attacks are quite effective against the undead as he fought two on one quite effortlessly.
Sam looked around and noticed that all the Pre-transcendent stage Minotaurs are running towards him.
But he is not worried. Only three Pre-transcendent stage minotaurs on each side have the beast mounts to fly. Out of three, one of them is dealt with and two of them are coming towards Sam.
Sam avoided the two people who are fighting from the ground and maintained some distance on the harbinger as he lured the two on the beasts away.
Sam can maintain an altitude from which he can ignore almost all the ground attacks. So all he has to do is deal with these two for now.
