Chapter 920: Grapple
Chapter 920: Grapple
Sam had a myriad of thoughts going through his mind while he fought with them.
He never had a problem with dealing nine to ten opponents of same level. There are times he defeated dozens of people who are powerful than him much less people of the same level. Except when he was attacked by the players.
He has a whole new understanding of the Solar fragments, the previous batch of soldiers who came are disposable at best when compared to the current batch.
These nine people, could really put on a fight and even when he used the light element and shadow element, the fastest right behind the space element which he cannot use because of the restrictions he himself put on.
They have intense coordination between themselves that was even hard to achieve in one of Sam’s own teams and they all attacked simultaneously with perfect sync without any communication. It is almost impossible to predict his position when he is in light elemental fusion, but they did.
The only reason he didn’t use the fire element is because they would be having certain level of immunity due to their similarities and the fight would be decided on who would last longer.
As for the rest of the elements, if he cannot get near them with the light and shadow element, it is almost impossible with rest of them. He would not only be slower, he would also be an easier target before he could make an proper attack or defensive move.
This is the first time he was this helpless even with the large number of abilities he has. They are a perfect team and now he is thinking of some kind of ideas on how to train his own teams with their strategies.
And all these thoughts while he was kicking their asses with void style and the fire elemental fusion. Now that they are all on purely equal terms it is just a good old fashioned fist fight, which Sam is winning.
The opponents couldn’t keep the fire elemental fusion for as long as Sam and his use of void style is making them suffer injuries that are otherwise impossible in their form and when the first one ran out of energy and his fusion turned into partial fusion, Sam’s hand directly went into his heart and the void style exploded the heart.
He moved to the next target instantly and his punch landed in the guts which was the last attack that made the fusion disappear.
And the next punch that landed on the face made him bleed though the orifices on his face and faint on the spot leading to a slow death.
The next target was simpler as it was a jab of his palm to the neck causing his throat to break.
The team is falling off one after another and soon there are only three members left.
They looked around to see if there is another way out. But the beasts are almost already done with the rest of the Solar Fragments so they cannot escape easily.
When Sam is about to proceed to kill the next one, they accepted their fate, but at this exact moment, a palm came out of nowhere and stopped Sam’s fist.
Sam pulled his hand back and looked at the leader who just blocked the punch.
“Not bad you recovered faster than I thought.”
Sam said and he looked at the guy carefully. He is examining his physical aspects to see if he can find anything wrong with him. Any sign of weakness would be helpful.
The leader didn’t speak though, he activated fire elemental fusion and started attacking Sam.
Sam who is also in his fusion form is attacking him in the same way.
The fight is becoming intense and soon Sam suddenly stopped in his tracks and changed his fusion form. He deactivated his fire elemental fusion and changed it to the light elemental fusion.
His speed increased and he took out the reaper sword once again, he started slicing the leader who is stronger than Sam.
The main reason he changed out of the fire elemental fusion, that guy has a slight advantage over him. Extremely slight and Sam doesn’t want any advantage to that guy.
And this time it worked since no other Solar fragments are there to cover his back.
He stabbed the guy in the back, but he didn’t go deep enough to kill him or do some critical damage, because he almost caught Sam’s hands.
Sam moved away from that spot and came from another side, he left a slash on the left hand, but had to dodge a punch on hair’s breadth.
The next slash was made at his thigh and a kick was missed by another hair’s breadth.
The next slash was made to block a kick that almost hit him. Sam knew he should finish it off faster to get out of the situation. The opponent is getting used to his speed.
So, he took out the second sword and started using void style and he managed to create more damage, but when Sam was about to make a finishing blow on the heart of the opponent with the executioner while the reaper is used to cover his dodging side, the opponent suddenly let the reaper stab into him, dodging the executioner sword a bit which made it enter his chest missing the heart by a small distance.
But in exchange, he got hold of Sam’s arms and he rolled over as he put Sam in a full body lock.
Sam and him started grappling and in process he managed to take out the swords off of his body and middle of it, the fire elemental fusion was gone and his next move made Sam feel extremely shocked.
His fire elemental fusion was gone, but the golden glow did not. Because he activated the light elemental fusion.
The light elemental fusion which Sam hasn’t seen in any other person. The element which he never saw anyone use to attack.
He was shocked to the point he forgot to struggle to get out of the grappling lock, which made him more vulnerable and the lock tightened.
Sam’s whole body is currently under the other person’s suppression.
While he was struggling unknown foreign energy started entering his body. He closed his eyes trying to confirm what kind of energy that is, but the leader spoke.
“Don’t worry, you will not find what energy it is, because it would be similar to your light elemental energy. I am surprised you could the light element for physical attacks, there is only one person I knew who can do that.
You also share a bloodline with a golden sun crow who is feasting on the corpses my subordinates. You are full of surprises.”
Sam didn’t bother to pay attention to his words and tried to get out, but he couldn’t. The lock is too tricky to escape. Just when he was about to change the elemental fusion into shadow elemental fusion, he felt the energy entering his body attack him.
In fact it is more like the body is trying to reject the light elemental energy out of it, but it is being forcefully injected which would cause extreme resistance that could damage him.
“You should listen to while I am being good. If you change your elemental fusion, your body will instinctively fight the injecting energy which would cause you some serious damage. So, you better stay in this light elemental fusion and answer my questions.
Where did you get a Golden Sun crow. What realm are they on? How did you meet one?”
Sam was surprised for a second and said.
“You do know that Golden Sun crow is a high-level tribe right? You wouldn’t be able to do anything even if you knew their position. A guard from that tribe would kill your tribe.”
“Yeah, that is what I know. But since you managed to get one, there is a way. I want to know how.”
“I don’t know any other way and my way wouldn’t work for you. But I can tell you something else. Which you might not want to hear.”
“You will die in a few minutes if you don’t talk what I want you to talk. If you talk about what I don’t want to listen to, your time would only reduce. So, do make sure that you use your words wisely.”
“Well, it is something related to my death actually. Do you see why my beasts are not moving even though I appear to be in a deadly situation?”
Sam paused and the opponent looked at the beasts, they are all looking at him casually, they looked relaxed which puzzled him.
“Because they know that I am still okay and I don’t need any of their help. And do you know why they know that?”
The opponent is still feeling a bit complicated and had a bad feeling about this.
He tried to let Sam go, but it was already late.
“They know that because I talk to them and they also know that I can do this.”
With that Sam’s body started glowing with a golden color and it is as bright as a star and an explosion occurred on top of his body and when it was back to normal. All they saw is Sam laying down in a large pit and a bunch of half molten bones beside him.
This is the effect of one of the bloodline arts of Yanwu, one that uses light elements. He wanted to try that after he got the change in his lungs to see what changes it brought and he had some results because of this fight.
