Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

*BOOM*

The explosion got Sam out of his daze.

The big hole in his chest made the clan member faint though. It was ripped open and the rib cage could be clearly seen.

Blood gushed out like crazy. The clan member who was energetic just a moment ago, couldn't even breathe properly. He completely lost consciousness and just stayed there limp.

Dayus was shocked. He was rooted to the ground for a moment and before he could even realize it, Sam rolled on the ground and used the clan member as a shield and fired another shot at Dayus.

This made Dayus finally react to the situation and he blocked the attack with his lightning. It didn't work though.

The bullet went past the lightning and hit him on the shoulder.

*BOOM*

Surprisingly, even Sam used the lightning element. So, the explosion is laced with silver lightning and blew Dayus away.

As he tried to stabilize himself, he was shocked to see Sam directly jumping through the explosion and trying to reach out to him.

The explosion made Sam's whole body rocked due to the explosion. He spat out some blood and then it is even slightly black in color. But he didn't stop. He lunged at Dayus and caught hold of him.

He intertwined his injured arm through Dayus' and held the collar forcefully.

He extended his leg and kicked Dayus' inner thigh, making him lose his balance. Then he kneed him in the stomach. Dayus lost his breath for a moment. Sam took this chance to forcefully take him down and mounted him from the top.

Now he started giving headbutts, only he has complete metal elemental fusion.

Dayus started bleeding from his forehead. He felt his head spinning. Sam also felt his head hurt, but he didn't stop there.

He started raining punches down on Dayus, but this time, he is using void style and spatial elements together. Dayus felt his fusion body getting destroyed bit by bit.

And the spatial element is stopping his bodily functions. The blood and the organs became stagnant as if they are locked there. Sam's attacks soon stopped.

He became weak and it is apparent in his eyes.

His physique has hit the limit.

"So, that is why you are acting crazily. You are on your last legs." Dayus spoke through the pain. But his eyes are filled with delight. He was never happier than now. He couldn't help but grin ear to ear foolishly as blood trickled down his mouth.

"Now that you are exhausted, it seems like we can exchange our roles. Now I will be the hunter and you will be the prey. I will play with your life as I take it away.

All the humiliation I suffered is going to be gone now."

Dayus tried to recover quickly. He wanted to get out of Sam's hold and finish this off. But to his surprise, Sam is also smiling.

"Idiot. With the amount of hatred you have for me, I thought you would at least know me a bit more than the rest. But you are just as stupid as I initially thought."

Sam's voice is low and barely audible. But that didn't stop from making Dayus feel cold sweat running down his back.

Sam took out his gun once again. The limp hand that was on Dayus's chest without any movement held that gun. He couldn't even find the strength to aim the gun properly. So, he just aimed it wherever.

"You crazy bastard. If you attack this closely, you will also get caught in the explosion."

"Of course, I would. But I won't die. As long as I am alive, it's good. But you, on the other hand, we never know what's going to happen to you."

*BOOM*

Dayus defended himself with all of his energy, but a hole appeared on his chest to the shoulder area. The bullet turned everything there into shreds.

The flesh was ripped apart and the spatial energy ran rampant as it took more and more of the flesh away. But Sam's arm muscles were torn apart a bit because of the recoil and being so close to the explosion.

This didn't stop him though. He proceeded to attack more.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

He shot two more times. Dayus lost his arm completely and the spatial energy is corroding his heart and exposed lungs.

Sam was blown away by him. He looked at the two opponents who are also on the ground. Then he noticed that there is some twitching on clan members' arms. Within a few seconds, the clan leader opened his eyes.

Sam didn't want to risk it. He slowly moved his handgun and shot him.

The bullet hit the clan member in his abdomen and Sam's arm was completely destroyed. His resistance against corruption is completely gone. He is weak and bleeding from all over the body.

He started losing consciousness. But at that moment, an instinct kicked in making him struggle to stay awake. He looked in a specific direction and saw someone walking through the air. Sam could feel the killing intent from miles away.

He knew that whoever that is coming here to kill him.

But he couldn't stay awake. He couldn't take out the wine to heal himself. He cannot heal himself with his energy. He is losing his consciousness rapidly and by the time, he was able to vaguely see the silhouette of the person, he fainted.

He knew that he is going to die. He just wished that he is conscious when he did so.

He is a bit regretful about not being able to meet his friends for one last time. And if they are present now, there is no way he would have died at all. He could have easily won this round.

Now he is losing his life.

There are just so many things he has yet to do in this life. He didn't find out why he was forced to come here. He didn't find out why he is part of this stupid game. He didn't find out answers to a lot of these questions.

There are also so many plans he had. So many things he wanted to make. So many things he wanted to teach and so much legacy he could have created. He would have been able to show this world what could have been truly done with all the resources.

There is just so much awaiting him.

As those thoughts came into his head, he couldn't help but smile.

"At least I could say I am going out at the top. I am the best among my peers in whatever I have done until now. It is an achievement enough for me I guess. It's just too bad that I could have done more."

He muttered to himself as he fainted while looking at the vague figure.

He lost himself in complete darkness.

…

Sam saw some faint light within that darkness.

His eyes felt heavy. His whole body is hurting. He felt the hard surface that he laid down on. He tried to lift his arm to rub his eyes. But he was unable to do so. He couldn't feel both of his arms. It almost felt like he doesn't have any arms at all.

He opened his eyes and saw the trees and the clear blue sky through the gaps between them.

It took a while for him to come back to his senses. The shock hit him and he wanted to get up abruptly. But all he was able to do was get hit by the searing pain in his back.

"What the fuck happened? I am alive?"

Sam thought to himself as he tried to look around. The corruption didn't let him though. His senses are just as dull as before.

"You are finally awake."

Sam heard a familiar voice. He tried to turn around to look at them. But he wasn't able to.

"Don't stress yourself too much. I am coming."

Arkiv stood up and walked to Sam's line of sight.

"What happened? Why am I still alive?"

"Seems like you are almost disappointed."

"Just tell me what happened. I am pretty sure that someone came to kill me. Don't tell me, you managed to save me. You are not strong enough for that."

"Can you be a little less blunt? I know I am not strong enough for that. The person that came at you is of Divine Plane cultivation and he was really pissed.

The only reason you are still alive is because of your new friend. He is the one who saved you. He bought you enough time for the Divine Plane cultivators to react. He is being treated there."

Arkiv pointed in a certain direction. Once again Sam tried to move, but he wasn't able to.

Arkiv realized his mistake and helped Sam up.

"Sorry for the treatment though. We couldn't really arrange a proper setup for you at the moment. The clan grounds are still in chaos because of the war."

"Is the challenge over?"

"Yeah, in a way. You lost."
