Chapter 1687: Lure
Chapter 1687: Lure
Sam gathered all of his energy to create a shield. But someone is one step ahead of him and luckily it is his ally.
Kach who was about to leave obviously stopped in his tracks when the situation escalated to this. He instantly came to Sam's side and blocked the two attacks that came at him. One with his body and another with his sword.
He looked at both of the opponents in complete disguise and spoke.
"Who the hell are you guys?"
Kach asked in confusion. All six clans are currently either attacking each other or attacking the Sura clan. At least that is what they initially predicted based on their movements. But from the looks of these two people attacking Sam, things don't seem like that.
Because both of them are using a faint amount of Divine energy. People who can use that in these clans are not supposed to be sent to deal with these players. The rest of their troops will be left in a vulnerable situation.
Dayus took out some weird token and threw it at Kach before lunging towards Sam.
Kach sensed some dangerous aura from it and dodged it instinctually.
Two of Kach's opponents split apart and one of them joined Dayus in attacking Sam.
Kach dodged the token that came at him. But he realized he misunderstood what that token could actually do. A cage made of pure spiritual energy popped out of nowhere and tried to envelop him.
He barely managed to deflect it a bit and only his left arm was caught inside.
The cage collapsed like a net. But it only made it more troublesome as it became flexible and tired to drag kach inside.
The opponent of course didn't want to let this opportunity go and attacked from the side.
Kach had to defend the attack and focus on it, instead of the net that was dragging him in.
Meanwhile, Dayus and the other opponent are targeting Sam who has yet to regain his balance.
Which surprised everyone on the spot. Except for Dayus. He smiled as if he knew this would happen.
Sam blocked another volley of attacks and this time, he couldn't keep himself standing, and fell off the building.
Dayus jumped off and pressed on with his attacks. He aimed the spear at Sam's face. It is blocked with an energy field. Sam barely managed to hold himself as he lay on the floor,
Dayus smiled at it and said.
"You can't really show off when you feel you forgot how to stand. Can you?"
Sam is surprised and skeptical. He kind of attributed his loss of sense of balance to the corruption along with the loss of spiritual sense. But from the looks of it, Dayus might have been the reason his balance is gone.
At least he might have known this would happen.
He wanted to ask for answers. But he knew that was not going to happen. So, he focused on getting away from the situation. So, as Dayus applied pressure on the energy field with the spear, all of a sudden, the earth split up under Sam and swallowed him.
He disappeared from the spot and was spat out a few dozen meters away.
He turned around and started running.
Dayus and the opponent were about to run when Noah intercepted them. Her opponents seemed to have been going through some confusion as they started attacking each other with vines coiled all over them.
Dayus blocked her attack and scolded her.
"Get the fuck out of my way. You ignorant fool."
Noah just got angrier and attacked him even more. The other person in disguise who was initially running after Sam came back to help Dayus. But the other players also started getting out of the deadlock from these people.
"For fuck's sake. I knew these idiots are not strong enough." Dayus spoke as he crushed a token. A large light flashed on the spot and acted as a signal. Within the surroundings of the city and even in the fore
st outside, everyone from Clan 6 looked at the flash and stopped whatever they are doing in the middle before they made ran towards that one spot.
The people that are disguised and were battling with the players took out their disguises and it also seemed like they lifted some kind of limiters on themselves. They became more powerful or one could say, they revealed their true powers.
If anyone of the other clan members were here, they would have recognized all of these people.
They are all core members of Clan6. They are the cream of the crop elite and now all of them are here to attack the players instead of trying to defend their own clan in the war.
Sam didn't care about any of this though, he just ran out of the estate towards the woods.
Dayus made the clan 6 members attack the players once again.
"Idiots. It is because of Sam that we are unable to get ahead in this competition. He made this thing unfair. I am making this fair now. I am doing a favor. How stupid do you have to be to not recognize this?
And I am letting you keep this first round of the competition on top of that.
Thank me later. You ungrateful pricks."
He left those words and ran after Sam.
Kach wanted to follow after him, but Dayus turned around and ordered the two people that attacked Sam earlier.
"Keep that guy in check. Kill him if you have you. Whatever it takes. He shouldn't interfere with my fight. Finish it off and come to me quickly. I need to kill that guy today no matter what. While he is still weak and pathetic.
Once he recovers, he will be the worst nightmare for all of us together."
Dayus ran like his life depended on it. By that time, Sam already reached the woods and he is jumping over the trees.
He is using the shadow element as he moved fluidly in his partial fusion.
He knows he is weak at the moment. He doesn't have the aid of his formations, he is hurt and the corruption is festering.
His spiritual sense is weak and every time he is trying to use spiritual energy, he is hurting himself. He knew better than just feeding his ego and going against a tough opponent. Particularly when they have help.
He needs to make the terrain, the way the battle flows, and even the way the opponent reacts to his advantage.
And one more thing he is sure of is, that Dayus doesn't give a fuck about this first competition, he is solely aiming to kill Sam.
Sam looked in the surroundings and made his way towards a large tree in the front that is full of vines. The vines are full of thorns that have a faint metal sheen. He slowed down a bit and took a deep breath before he ran towards that tree.
The vines of the tree are expanded and covered a lot of ground in the surroundings. He tried to spread his spiritual energy through the vines and used his observation ability on the surrounding area.
But to his disappointment, even the range he could spread the energy has been reduced. He could only sigh and think of a different method. Before he could do that, he saw a streak of purple lightning making its way towards him.
"Here he comes."
Sam muttered as he saw Dayus nearing with every second. This might be the first time that Dayus was ever closer to becoming faster than Sam and Dayus is pleased about it. Even before he reached the position Sam is standing, he kicked on a tree and jumped high into the air, before throwing the spear with all of his might.
Sam took a deep breath and made his own move. He canceled the shadow elemental fusion and started using wood elements on the tree.
The vines that are spread into the surroundings all acted up. They came out of the ground and weaved together in an instant as they created a web that acted as a shield against the spear.
The spear tackled the web and the lightning spread across it. The tree and the v
ines are being burned to a crisp by the lightning, but at least the attack was stopped and the spear was stuck in the web.
Dayus was about to make a move to get his spear back, but Sam was one step ahead of him. He jumped off the tree and into the web right before the lightning was consumed completely and caught the spear.
He jumped back onto the tree and turned around to run away.
Dayus is pissed. He looked at Sam hatefully and got ready to attack him. He jumped off of the tree he was standing on and made his way to Sam.
Sam started running in a different direction, but not before making one last move using that burnt tree.
