Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 2341: Trapping the Snake



Crow nodded and said.

"I see your rationale, but I did want to see some action. I don't know if we would be able to get that high if we just focused on tricks.

And there is a chance that someone might just get a hint at your plan and counter it. You might want to think about that, if we go ahead with it."

"Don't worry about the action. I am sure you will get enough of it. If all you want to do is show off to the world, then I can create more than enough opportunities. I am the spectators outside will definitely enjoy it.

As for the counter...

I do believe some people in the competition have similar plans. As we are speaking, there are some people who are trying to map the pocket dimension just like I did. Some are gathering with their teammates.

Some are forming temporary alliances.

Based on my speculations, they are going with similar plans. They will examine the environment, try to use it to their advantage and then deal with the rest.

Their approaches will be different of course.

Anyway, if we are going to stick together, then we have some priorities in the targets we choose."

"Let me guess, Zeus academy."

Sam smiled and replied.

"You are absolutely right. First let's knock those fuckers out. Their team is not exactly at its strongest state. The three candidates are just a bit above mediocrity, not far from it though. Dealing with them is a piece of cake.

I already have the locations and the first one is way too easy to deal with at the moment.

You want to go?"

"Your wish."

Sam placed his hand on Crow's back, enveloping both of them with the spatial energy.

Meanwhile, far away in the pocket dimension, there is large lake within which there is a small island.

On that island, a young man wearing the uniform of the Zeus academy is panting heavily.

He kicked the ground and tried to leap off the island and come out of the lake, however, as soon as the left the surface of the land, the surface of the lake split open. A skeletal snake came out of it and tried to bite him down.

He tried to change the direction mid-air, but then the water in the lake which was in an unusually black colored rose up, blocking his path.

Just like the tree-man, this snake is also one of the unusual creatures in this place. Unlike the other skeletal creatures which are mostly using only brute force and regeneration, this is manipulating the water.

That guy appeared on the island from the start and he has been trying to get out of the lake. He even used transference tokens. However, as soon as he did...

The lake water as a whole rose up and froze the space. He couldn't even fathom the logic behind such a weird reaction, but it is a fact that he is stuck here even after exhausting a bunch of transference tokens, which could have become life savers for him.

He landed back on the ground and looked at the lake.

The snake is not acting up. It just moved beneath the surface and only when he showed signs of movements would it react. It has been toying with him for a while. He has tried everything in the past hour or so.

He even tried to fight it out with it. But the lake water, the black water is way too impeccable with the defense. His attacks are barely moving past the surface.

He tried to shoot signals into the air and he did attract a couple of people as well. However, they are not his or Zeus academy's allies. No one is at this point. They just witnessed his predicament and guessed he would die right there and left.

Now, he is finally losing hope. At that moment, he sensed a spatial fluctuation nearby.

Sam and Crow appeared out of thin air and hovered in the air looking at him.

When he saw them, the Zeus academy student wanted to scream for help, but when he noticed who they actually are, he directly gave up. No student from gambler academy will help him. Much less Sam.

He just collapsed on to the ground and started attacking the water while he was still on his knees.

The snake is riled up and attacked him with the water pinning him to the ground, before disappearing back.

"Why are we here? From what I can see, he will definitely die sooner or later. It would definitely take him down. We don't need to do anything."

"I know that. I am just trying to speed up the process. Once this guy is done, I have plans for the lake. For that, I need him to die a bit early and in a certain way.

For this, I don't really need your help, but it wouldn't hurt to have you nearby. Look out in that particular direction, there is a great chance a threat might appear from there."

Sam put him on look out and went to deal with the target.

He took out formation nodes. Not some makeshift nodes, proper formation nodes. Metal pillars with hundreds of inscriptions on them.

They are also not some general nodes that he could use to make different formations. They are a set. They are used to make a specific formation or to be precise a set of formations. Even if a person doesn't have any knowledge of the formations, they can use the manual given with it to create this formation.

These types of sets are very common in the Dusk organization.

Even though Sam rarely used them, now it would save a lot of time and they are kind of perfect for the current scenario.

He was leisurely, as he dug the earth on the bank of the lake and placed the nodes of the

formations.

The target was just staring at him like a dumb little doll. After Sam placed the last node, the formation was activated automatically.

On each node, there are a string of inscriptions drawn from top to bottom.

At the moment, the bottom most inscription of each node is lit up. They are determining the current properties of the formation and that is a simple barrier formation. The composition of it is very simple, but the barrier is strong as well.

Maybe because the creature sensed the energy fluctuations, its head raise above the surface. Its head first moved to face the target and then to the dome. It didn't care much and just went

back into the lake.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At that moment, Sam activated the next phase of the formation.

The next three inscriptions on each node were lit up. The dome which was translucent white changed to semi-translucent red. The target who is sitting on the island, not knowing what to do, suddenly a slight change in the temperature around him.

He looked at the dome curiously.

Within no time, he started sweating, it then became irritating as the temperature increased. He removed his shirt and tried to endure. The black water started boiling up. The target also felt parched. He didn't know what to do.

At this moment, the creature inside the lake came out all of a sudden and hit the dome.

*BAM*

There is not even a tremor. The dome is completely intact. The water became steam and it accumulated at the top of the dome.

*BAM*

The creature kept on hitting the barrier and soon its' skull cracked. It halted a bit and started healing. The opponent wanted to take advantage of this and tried to make a move. However, at the moment, the fourth inscription one each node lit up with a faint purple light.

The opponent suddenly felt his energy being sucked dry.

The area within the dome turned toxic with highly dense death energy. The surrounding death energy is being sucked and is being injected forcefully into the formation.

The target couldn't even breath and the absurdity of the surrounding death energy finally

showed its dark side. The blood thirsty aura Sam felt ever since he arrived here, finally showed its ugly end. The target's eyes became red like burning coals as he started rampaging inside.

He jumped into the boiling lake fighting with the skeletal snake.

The snake also started fighting back, while also smashing its head against the dome and cracking itself more and more.

Soon, the opponent's dead body floated over the lake, but by that time, the lake has already became two-thirds of its original size. The skeletal snake could barely hide itself. Sam used his energy vision to take a look. The weird energy around the snake has turned red

and while he was watching, from under the bed of the lake, a second skeletal snake has come. Now, as the lake evaporated rapidly and formed a massive cloud inside the dome, the snakes kept on smashing dome. The second snake's energy is also changing along with the first one's. Just for some safety, Sam activated the next phase of the formation, strengthening the dome

even more.
