Chapter 922: Gift delivered
The elemental cell rocket managed to get into the space tunnel before it even started closing and the spatial waves caused the whole area to be a mess of series of explosions.
None of the solar fragments are standing, including the leader who turned out to be the Initial stage Pre-transcendent stage cultivator couldn’t stand there.
But it was only temporary because the attack couldn’t last long. Every solar fragment is bleeding at the moment and they did realize that they are in a trap.
“It’s a trap. Escape everyone. Use transference scroll to east.”
The leader yelled his order and then took out his own transference scroll. Sam who was about to make a move halted in his tracks along with the rest and they waited for the solar fragments to hurt themselves more.
They did find out the trap because of the obvious signs but they didn’t think too much and didn’t know what kind of trap that is because of not so obvious signs which they cannot see.
And as they used the transference scrolls all at the same time in same direction, the formation reacted in kind.
*BOOM*
This time it is not even like a series of explosions. The timing was almost perfect and the energy explosions managed to create enough damage for some people to lay on the ground as they bled profusely and for some people to try and stand up with a groaning pain.
Sam and his group finally made a move.
And this time Raiju elder also came in. The leader of the opposition is an Initial Stage Pre-transcendent stage cultivator of the Astral Plane.
So, It is better to have the Raiju elder deal with him than fighting him on his own and he also has something else to test.
He let the beasts deal with the people at the rear. People of lower cultivation level and are doing a great job. After all, even if they are in hundreds they are injured beyond belief.
The leader who is obviously the least injured of them all is currently looking at Sam with utmost resentment as he saw the beasts killing his subordinates.
If not for the presence of the Raiju elder he would have made a move and slaughtered each beast.
But too bad for him the Raiju elder is looking at him like he was some piece of steaming piece of shit. With disdain and disregard along with some provocation stating ‘do something if you dare’.
Sam didn’t engage with the leader, he let the Raiju elder deal with it, he jumped in front of the medium stage Initiation cultivators.
But he is not here for the fight.
There are around fifteen of them.
And they are not as coordinated as the nine from the first batch.
These people might even be weaker than the first nine.
Anyway, he didn’t want a slugfest and a fistfight with all of them at this moment. He has something else to do.
He looked at their injured selves and couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for them. Because it looked like a waste to kill them like this.
Sam’s body turned golden as he activated fire elemental fusion. The feather coat is also covered with a golden glow as he made some hand-signs. His lungs expanded to maximum and the energy started accumulating in them as they slowly expanded the lungs even more.
The surroundings almost turned void of spiritual energy as he rapidly absorbed and the opponents who saw this, couldn’t help but become nervous and started attacking him.
But from within his flaming body, a fire crow was created and hit the person who is leading the attack and the another bird went for another person. He is not letting anyone near more than five meters of him and the attacks that are being thrown it him from out of that range are being countered with fire attacks.
They cannot attack him from anywhere and they are being attack from where he stood without even moving a bit.
After two minutes of constant sucking of energy,and all of that being injected into his lungs forcefully, the energy started converting into pure golden flames.
And when they saw the change, their first reaction is to scatter. But Sam looked at them in pity, it is already a bit late. They should have moved away a long time ago.
Sam blew the flames from his mouth and the golden flames turned into a large flaming storm that covered almost quarter of the whole valley, completely covering the fifteen Middle-stage Initiation Astral Plane cultivators.
The golden flames blazed over their bodies and they activated their fusions to defend against it as much as they can, but it was not enough. Their fusion disappeared after a few seconds and their energy was completely suppressed.
Their flesh started burning and bones melting. They could feel the whole flesh turning in to ash right before their eyes.
“ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH]”
“NOOOOOOOO”
“SAAAAAAVVEEEEE MEEEE.”
Screams of agony and pain echoed in the whole valley. When the fire was gone, there is a large pit with molten rocks, the men disappeared and instead of them there are bits and pieces of the bones and skeletons left in that pit.
There is nothing left in that spot.
Sam’s fusion disappeared and he felt a bit weak. He looked at the aftermath he left behind and felt a bit surprised and excited.
Fifteen people died just like that with a single move.
And they are all strong and could have put up a decent fight against him.
And he still has some energy left in his body.
He felt stronger all of a sudden.
He looked at the rear where the fight between the Raiju elder and that leader is being extremely one sided. But the Raiju elder has to hold back a lot.
He doesn’t want to kill that guy, because Sam has some use for him.
Sam just sat there in the pit as he examined the skeletons and looked at the rest of battles now and then to make sure nothing is going wrong.
After an hour the battle was over. There are a pile of bodies for Yanwu to munch on and Raiju elder has his paw on the unconscious team leader/
They started cleaning up.
Meanwhile, far far away and around an hour before.
It is the time when the Solar Fragments are still operating a series of Space gates while maintaining the Space tunnel so that the journey wouldn’t be interrupted and the people wouldn’t die or get lost to somewhere else.
The operator of the Space gate is not the Solar fragment, he looked like an elf but he is a bit taller and his skin tone is black unlike normal white of the elves.
He is a Dark Elf. A high level Elven race who are on par with the highest level of nobility of the normal elven race.
It can be said they are a subrace just like how beastmen have different subraces within. But these guys are superior than the actual race.
As the Dark elf is trying to close he space tunnel, he felt something and said.
“I can detect some presence within the tunnel. Something seemed to be wrong.”
“What do you mean? Did one of our people get stuck?”
One of the people near him asked.
“How would I know? I am not the designer or builder of this tunnel, I am just an operator. I don’t know what is wrong. But whatever it is, it is coming towards us.”
“Us? Does that mean someone is using the tunnel to come here?”
“I don’t know what is coming, but I don’t think it is a person.”
The Dark elf became a bit nervous and thought for a moment, before saying.
“I think it is better to close the tunnel.”
“Are you sure?” I think it might be one of us. Something must have gone wrong and they might be escaping.”
“If we are wrong, and it was someone or something else, it could come here.”
“Let it come and we will see what it can do.” This time it was not the same person who replied.
Everyone looked at the direction the voice came from. There is another Solar fragment who has a long golden beard.
The head of the Solar fragments.
The leader of the tribe, he looked at the space tunnel with a bit of disdain.
That was until a wave of energy blasted through the space tunnel and a frown replaced that disdain.
“Close the gate.” The head ordered and the Dark elf muttered something snide under his breath.
But they are a bit too late because the rocket already reached the end of the tunnel and half of it was already to this site when the tunnel shrunk and slowed its exit down.
Everyone became alert and anxious as they looked at the large mass of spatial elemental energy completely destabilized and on verge of an explosion and before it could make it out of the tunnel, it exploded.
*BOOM*
