Chapter 1427 - Saved
The kick landed straight on Sivan's forehead and he was stunned for a moment as he took a step back.
Sam just let go of the hand and fell on his back, before he rolled to the side and kicked a shadow that came at him with the void style and the ripple style dispersing it into nothing.
He stood up once again and took a boxing stance.
Sivan looked at Sam with a frown. He felt like something is odd about Sam and he couldn't put his finger on it.
He lunged forward with golden flames blazing. Sam also lunged forward as if he was going for a bunch with a thin energy barrier covering the flames for him. But just when they were about to clash, the barrier changed its form, it balled the flames and diverted it at Sivan's face. Even though it didn't cause him any harm, he was stunned for a moment and Sam took the chance to change his direction.
Instead of going for a punch, he went straight for Sivan's torso and lifted him up into the air before slamming him down into the ground.
But right before the point of contact a large mass of energy condensed into a plate right on the ground and it exploded with void style.
Sam was blown away from that spot, but Sivan flew straight ahead vertically into the sky. The feather coat still managed to sustain the damage though which kind of relieved Sam, the sheer force made Sivan puke a lot of blood as he flew higher and higher.
When he finally stopped and descended, he looked at Sam and gritted his teeth, he activated the spatial element and blinked from that spot and reappeared right beside Sam, trying to use the fangs to kill him.
But Sam barely managed to dodge it and caught the arm.
He used the arm as support and swung his legs to Sivan's neck to hold him in a choke and twisted the arm to make him fall down to the ground.
He then held the arm in a lock while kicking Sivan in the torso breaking his ribs.
Sivan activated the earth element and caught Sam who was on the ground and at the same time shifted to the wood element and created a vine coffin that completely encircled Sam and started dragging him into the ground.
Sivan pulled himself away as he looked at Sam in horror.
Sam blasted open the vine coffin and the earthen layer that tried to cover him up before coming out of it as he looked at Sivan with a wide grin.
He lunged forward and ran to Sivan who started throwing wind blades one after the other along with the flames, the water attacks and even the spatial rends that are created. But Sam dodged everything, but he is moving extremely abnormally.
It is like he is completely different from his usual self.
He didn't have the same grace he had before when he was wielding the sword, he didn't have that extreme focus of a hunter like before. But rather, he moved like a barbarous monster now.
Sivan tried to blink away, but the energy bullets are coming at him and his blinking location was being predicted by Sam easily.
The battle suddenly tipped the scale.
Sam is not acting like himself, but he was getting the upper hand. Even the shadows that are helping Sivan are not really of any use.
He reached Sivan soon enough and went for a punch.
Sivan prepared to block it, but the punch never came. Right before the punch was about to land, Sam used his other hand to take out the reaper sword and stab Sivan in the gut.
The ripple style was completely active as it caused a sensation to the internal organs.
Sam kicked Sivan away who fell to the ground while bleeding.
Meanwhile, Sam wasn't completely fine. In the last second, Sivan managed to land his claws at Sam's collar bone leaving a big wound there.
But Sam didn't care about it as he spun the reaper sword and walked forward.
He looked down on Sivan and pointed the sword at him.
"You really prepared for the fight, didn't you. It seems like you are looking forward to this fight more than me."
Sam then looked at the arm with the divine dimension ring on it. He wanted to take it off first and leaned forward.
But before he could do that, he suddenly sensed something and he jumped backwards.
A very tiny energy bullet went past the spot he previously stood in and landed on the residence nearby.
*BOOM*
A massive explosion happened, but in a very confined and limited space, destroyed only a small part of the house.
Sam looked into the sky with his heart beating fast.
The whole battle stopped and everyone looked at the sky.
A young man who looked to be in his late twenties is hovering over the air on what looked like a translucent plate condensed of energy. Even though Sam, Giyon and Grivon have never seen this guy, they could guess who it is.
The resemblance between him and Sam's current face is uncanny.
He is Sivan's father.
He extended his hand and pulled in the air. A massive ball of energy condensed itself and caught Sivan pulling him into the air.
He looked at Sam who stood there bleeding with many wounds and the sword in his hand.
"You must be the person, my son stole the body from. And you even managed to master his constitution properly.
You are not doing that bad in that body, why don't you just take it and let it go? If you do that, I will stop this imbecile from going after you."
Sam looked at him calmly and replied.
"I want what is mine. I don't care for anything else."
"Are you sure? You might lose your life if you do that."
"We don't know that for sure. The only way to find out is for me to try."
"You are an interesting kid. I wish you were my son."
As soon as he said those words, Sivan's expression changed. He was afraid and uncomfortable until then, but now he is clearly feeling angry and he started struggling.
Sivan's father looked at him coldly and said.
"Behave."
"Kill that Bas… *Argh*" Sivan wanted to say something, but his voice was stopped.
"I am not your subordinate Sivan. I am your father. The unlucky one who was cursed with you and your stupid mother. So, don't order me around as you do with your subordinates. Do you understand?"
While he was talking, Giyon made her way towards Sam and looked at the man.
The man looked at Giyon and said.
"You must be sonic prince's daughter. It is a night to meet you. Send my regards to your father."
He then turned to the point where Grivon said.
"You too, remind your father that he still owes the wager for our last bet."
He finally turned to Sam again and said.
"You are a good kid. But this imbecile is my son. So, I am duty-bound to save him. Next time, try to kill him before I can intervene if you really want him dead.
See you again."
With those words, he walked away in the air and disappeared like a flash.
The subordinates of Sivan were all captured or killed and Sam took a deep breath before sitting on the ground while injecting himself with healing medicine.
"Are you okay?"
Grivon asked as he sat down beside him.
"I am fine."
"What is up with your battle? I mean, Sivan doesn't have any battle experience, when did he get so skilled?"
"My memories."
"Really? Memories gave him the experience he needed?"
"No, the memories gave him what he needed to fight with me. With those memories, he learned how to use my elemental energies effectively and he also learned what my thought process would be like.
I have been in too many battles and fought too many opponents. It is easy to identify my pattern and think of what kind of move I could make.
He read through my moves and almost beat me and the elements that I lost are mostly with him, so it is not helping either."
"So, you almost got your ass kicked because of that."
"What do you mean by that? Didn't you see? His father had to come and take him back. In fact, you are the one that got his ass kicked. Remember a few minutes, I am the one that saved your ass. Otherwise, you guys would have been dead by now."
"Like hell, I would be dead. I would have broken through that formation."
"Yeah right. You and your subordinates can break through that one."
Sam joked around as his wounds healed.
"So, how is faring with your body."
"Actually worse than I thought. Just like predicted, he completely went for the space element. But couldn't master it properly. Then he went for the basic elements, fire, wind, water, earth, wood and metal. He did alright there.
The only problem is the nature of my elements is a bit too tyrannical as they are drawn from higher-level bloodlines.
That is why he was able to showcase that power."
