Chapter 853: Last Wave
Sam is currently killing a giant humanoid with his sword as he lodged it inside that guy's neck.
This is the last creature of this wave and this is the end of the night day. As usual, Sam got some breathing space. He is still soaked and reeking of blood and is currently trying his best to recover.
Soon, the next wave started to come.
This time, Sam directly activated energy vision.
In the past few days, Sam came into contact with many creatures he never heard or saw of and these creatures come in different forms and shapes. In the previous wave, a creature similar to that invisible water creature attacked him, but this time it is merged in the wind and poison is not working on it.
So, Sam had to use the energy vision.
This time Sam didn't want to take any risks as it is the last wave, the difficulty and intensity will be at another level.
So, he decided to be careful and vigilant.
But when he saw the energy waves that are coming from the creatures that appeared, he was shocked. Because, this time the difficulty didn't come in numbers or the variety of the creatures, rather the main difficulty is the strength.
Currently, there are around eight creatures in front of Sam slowly coming towards him and all of them are transcendent stage creatures, provided that they are clearly of the initial stage, it is really hard for Sam to deal with them.
As their cultivation level increased, it would be hard to cross the boundaries of one level and fight the higher cultivator. Sam didn't even bother trying in the Peak stage of the Pre-transcendent stage, even though he is confident that he might be able to win with all the tricks he had, but that is for one on one. Not against a group.
But in front of Sam, there is one feathered, one thunderbird, two giant humanoids, the orc, the snow-white orc, the invisible wind creature, and now not so invisible water creature. All of these are walking towards him slowly.
He couldn't help but gulp nervously. This is going to take more than stamina and strength. He needs a bit of luck as well. Even though Sam always didn't believe that he was lucky, he really wished if such a thing ever existed, it would stay with him.
Because, unlike the rest of the players, Sam had a disadvantage in this fight and that is he cannot breakthrough, even if he wants to.
If the rest of the players got overwhelmed, they could at least break through and fight them off. He is pretty sure that their strength would be far better than normal.
But now Sam couldn't even access his beasts to finish the breakthrough, he has to fight at his current stage.
He took a deep breath and took out the flute.
This is the last resort and it is specially made for these kinds of situations.
He didn't wait for them to get close. For some reason they are not just coming at him with full speed, they seemed to be leisurely waiting to deal with Sam as they walked.
So, at least Sam has enough time to set up the foundation with the flute.
He started playing as the elemental energies started pouring out.
Now the first part is the barrier around him and the second part is the elemental energy bubble that is comprised of all his elemental energies jammed up together.
The elemental energies started clashing within that bubble and the waves that are coming out of these clashes themselves are extremely dangerous.
And by now the creatures finally managed to come near Sam and they are slowly surrounding him.
By now, Sam already laid out the field of his control.
The area is completely similar to the time when he fought Kartikeya. But now there are two extra additions, the earth element, and the metal element.
He is using the gravity of the earth element mainly and as for the metal element, he let out some mixture of metallic powder and pieces which are running around the field together like a swarm of bees.
The last addition to this whole set is the blood scales.
All the creatures attacked Sam at the same time. Sam who is inside the barrier is a bit nervous at this moment as the clash began.
His first target is that invisible wind elemental creature.
As soon as that creature entered the field, Sam controlled the wind and filled it with metallic sand and metal debris.
The metal debris wouldn't have any effect on the creatures in a normal scenario, but currently, as the metallic pieces are being stabbed into that creature are all being used with the void style.
The creature is a wind elemental being, so when the void style that is being used was used along with the wind elemental energy, the creature started having trouble.
And the field is full of different elements which are in sync with each other, so this creature has to resist the effects of the rest of the elements.
So, after a few minutes, Sam did manage to immobilize it completely and killed it.
He wanted to heave a sigh of relief, but neither does he have time or leisure to do that.
Because currently the rest of the creatures are already ravaging the barrier he was in. Every attack they landed on the barrier, a ripple is being formed because even though Sam is fighting with the invisible creature he is also responsible for defending himself and every impact caused on the barrier is being repelled with the ripple style.
The ripple style made the defensive barrier last a bit longer than normal and the gravity along with other elemental attacks is already throwing them off balance.
Even in that condition, it is already the third barrier Sam made.
Even though the energy usage would be reduced with every barrier, it is still too much pressure.
His veins are bulging dangerously as if they are ready to pop any moment even with the slightest of touches.
Sam checked the barrier once again and focused on another target.
The second target, the not-so-invisible water creature. This one creature is the weakest of the rest as it is not present in water.
The only reason Sam didn't target this and went for the wind creature is that the wind creature is more dangerous, otherwise, this would have been already dealt with.
The blood scales that are annoying the rest of the creatures left them alone and moved towards the water creature.
The scales used the ripple style as they attacked from multiple fronts. The creature is being divided into small parts and the scales are slowly being enveloped by the golden flames as they caused the water creature to evaporate.
He used fire elemental energy to kill a water creature and now finally moved to the rest.
His next target is the thunderbird.
Even though the ones that are attacking him the most at the moment are the giant humanoids and they are the ones cracking the barrier, Sam is least worried about them.
Because these guys don't have any elemental affinities and the only strength they have is brute force and a lot of stamina.
The blood scales and the metal debris along with the flames and wind are all surrounding the thunderbird. But one thing that is not near the bird but affecting the most is the gravity. Generally, Sam wouldn't be able to use other elements when he is messing with the gravity, but this is the only state he could do so.
The gravitational focus was completely based on the thunderbird and Sam almost controlled its flight path with it.
Because of the constant fluctuations and attacks, Sam not only managed to avoid being attacked by it, he also started controlled the trajectory and altitude a bit.
After he got a hold of that, instead of killing it, he got another idea. He made the thunderbird crash directly onto the snow-white Orc who is an ice elemental user.
The lightning energy works great on them.
Even though they didn't attack each other rapidly like what would have normally happened, he still managed to land a proper attack on both of them.
But the one that got killed is not the orc, but the thunderbird.
Sam continued the attacks, but by now he is already bleeding through his nose and the veins on his body are completely still.
He doesn't know who long he could hold up and all he can do is endure and fight back for now.
He changed his target now and it is time for the Snowwhite orc.
Sam just didn't go for physical attacks this time, he also started using mental attacks.
It is no use hiding his tricks at the moment, so he used the mental attacks to make the orc distracted and attacked it physically.
Even though the situation is on his side and he managed to deal with the orc, he is pretty sure that he took some severe damage.
