Chapter 1064: Energy beams
The temple collapsed and Sam made his way through the rubble with the gun in his hands. The team immediately lodged towards the temple members inside the rubble. Sam's shadow undead also came out as they went after the low-ranked people.
The use of this liquid energy assault rifle is different than a normal rifle with normal energy cell bullets.
When the energy beam hits the target, the explosion is clearly similar to that of a normal energy cell explosion, but in fact, it is extremely concentrated compared to it.
The explosion that occurred with this energy beam is extremely controlled and in a very small area. If such a large energy reaction was confined to a small area, then the damage could only be greater than normal.
Sam shot down one Astral Plane Pre-transcendent cultivator after another as he roamed around in harbinger. Every shot is a head shot and every head that was shot exploded and vaporized into nothing. All that was left is the headless corpse and a bunch of residual energy causing chaos because of the aftermath of the explosion.
Sam didn't hold back at all. His cold expression and his shooting without even blinking an eye and nonchalantly killing one guy after another made the team a bit uncomfortable. They didn't see Sam being this unfeeling. It is to the point it is scary.
The team is currently clashing with the elders and other experts of the temple in the front.
Night Ghost managed to kill two middle-stage transcendent stage cultivators while they are still affected by the gas and the head of the temple who forcefully broke through is currently injured and is recovering a bit without making a move.
More than half of them are stuck under the rubble when the building collapsed and they are coming out of it now.
This is the only time, they have an upper hand and the team took extreme advantage of it as they attacked.
But soon, the advantage is gone, everyone came out of the rubble and they started letting their golems out. Thousands of golems flooded the whole temple estate and even spread to the streets.
Sam changed the liquid energy cell, the energy is almost over, he activated it and threw it towards the nearest temple member.
A golem jumped into the air to block it, but it exploded in the middle making the golem crash back into that member.
Sam then put a different energy cell and this time, it is a special one. The cell is divided vertically into two compartments even in that small size and one half has light energy liquid and the other half has the hydra poison energy.
After loading the gun, he turned a small lever on the gun and changed a simple setting before aiming it at the temple head and pulling the trigger.
A large energy beam was shot. It looked like a golden laser with an Indigo hue but that is not the main difference from the previous one. The main difference is that this is a continuous beam. When the beam hit the target, the explosion was so concentrated and dense that the collapse and destruction were immediate.
When numerous golems tried to restrict the energy beam, they were just penetrated and hit the temple head who opened his eyes in the middle of recovery. He could feel the light elemental energy slowly ravaging his flesh and the stinging pain of the corrosive poisonous energy which spread along his flesh.
The beam didn't stay in the same spot on his flesh, even though at the start it is more like a flesh wound, if he stayed on a single spot, he would definitely be able to make a hole through in a minute, but the rest of members didn't plan to let Sam have that much freedom.
But too bad for them, he is on the harbinger. Not a lot of flying objects, including their golems and beasts can do anything about controlling him.
While Sam kept the temple head busy, Night Ghost hurried to deal with the rest of the candidates. In the last battle, he gained a lot of strength and he is on verge of a breakthrough, he is sure that he is going to experience a breakthrough after this. So, he is extremely powerful than his peers and it didn't take long for him to deal with the current opponents and then start his attack on the temple head.
When he took over, they exchanged a nod and Sam shifted his focus back to the thousands of golems and the people that are controlling them.
Meanwhile, when the temple members saw the state of the Temple head they were dumbfounded.
The entirety of the back of the temple head was completely burned and charred the flesh is exposed and it is being corroded at a rapid pace, there is no way he would survive through this if he didn't receive immediate treatment.
Even if he won against Night ghost by any chance, he would definitely die after the corrosion spread enough in his body.
Sam removed the dual elemental liquid energy cells and threw it into the bunch of golems blindly. Around four golems exploded, but within what looked like an endless swarm of golems they are minuscule.
But there is not a hint of worry on Sam's face. He picked a fire elemental cells this time and loaded the gun before shooting another continuous beam. He just aimed at the nearest member of the temple and didn't bother to care if he tried to block it with the golems.
When the golems came into the way and made contact with the continuous beam, one could see faint explosions happening on the surface, but in just two seconds, there is a burning hole or it can even be called a molten hole that appeared on the golem which spread cracks and eventually made it collapse appeared and the beam went through that to hit another golem.
Sam barely moved the gun and that too he did it only when the target member of the temple is changing his location.
Whatever that came in the middle is not his concern and in this way, the member used a hundred golems to block Sam, but all hundred of them are laying on the ground with half of their bodies molten and the other half-collapsed, irrespective of their elemental abilities and the beam hit the member in the face after which that person's head, neck and half of the torso were gone and the rest was completely burned.
After that, Sam took out the almost emptied fire elemental liquid cell and threw it towards the golems that are ganging up on Paras.
Paras got an opening he needed and dove towards his opponent before chopping him into two with a single strike.
Sam looked at the number of the golems that are kept on increasing. They are not even focused on one particular person, they are just trying to exhaust Sam and his team while the members hid in the middle of them.
Sam changed the mode of the gun once again and took out another special liquid energy cell. This one also has two compartments. One of them has dark black colored liquid while the second one has dark purple colored liquid.
Both of them are not pure elemental energy liquids. They are the results of some research and are similar to the undead liquid that preserves the dead bodies for a longer time.
These two are corrosive liquids. The dark one is from the dark elemental energy and the purple one is from poison energy.
Sam shook it a bit and inserted it in the gun before changing the mode once again and aiming at the empty spot above the place with a high density of golems.
A small energy globe with black and purple colors mixed together formed and it slowly got bigger and bigger. When the temple member noticed this, they didn't care much initially as it is mostly near the golems.
"Get out of there."
Sam spoke to his teammates who are near the energy globe which is still expanding.
The teammates left the spots and started abandoning their opponents and escaped.
And within a few seconds.
*BOOM*
A massive explosion occurred blinding everyone. The energy waves caused by it made everyone's heart skip a beat.
The large explosion created waves and when everything settled, all they saw is large heaps of corroded rocky rubble in the place of the golems and in the place of the temple members, all that left is their remains which are rotten and corroded. Even the bones smelled like rotten feces.
Not just the temple members, even the teammates were stunned by this. This is something Sam never displayed. They knew that he is resourceful. But they didn't know that he is this resourceful.
One thought came to their minds after looking at it. Now, Sam doesn't need any of them. He can solely knock on the doors of these powers one by one and destroy them before they realize what is happening.
When they looked at Sam, his face is as nonchalant as earlier. He took out the empty cell from the gun and threw it casually before loading it with other.
