chapter-536
Sam stood at the vanguard of the normal soldiers. He was stationed here along with Arman.
He and along with these few hundred soldiers has to 'test' the strength of the blood mutants.
Sam couldn't help but feel amused at this.
At this moment, Yodha came to him and said.'
"I tried my best, but they don't take this seriously, they still held blind hope that the special divisions can change the outcome of the war. I am a bit afraid.""Don't worry, the special division might not be able to beat them, but they can still escape if they want to. Maybe they will retreat and regroup in the camp. I hope the formation of the camp is strong enough to hold for a few days."
There are only a few minutes till the war started and Sam is on the forefront of the battlefield. As soon as there was any movement from the blood mutants they have to attack. If there is no movement, they have to wait until the superiors give them a signal."
Sam could see the camp of the blood mutants from far away.
After speaking to Yodha for a moment, he sent him away and looked at the situation calmly. After a few minutes, the blood mutants finally made their move.
But they are not barging in by running, instead, they are in a rectangular grid-like formation as they marched forward in unison.
The commander gave the signal at the moment and Sam charged along with the troops towards the slowly marching mutants.
There are more than a thousand people attacking the five hundred mutants. This is essentially the entire Nascent battalion and all they are using them is to test them.As the two sides clashed, the blood mutants still didn't move away from their formations. They are marching just like they previously did, it is just that they started attacking the soldiers from their position without any large movements.
They threw all kinds of ranged attacks. The wind type, the water type, the earth, the fire. But all of them are in the blood-red color. Even when they used the earthen attacks that used the ground below, the blood-red pattern appeared on the rocks.
The attacks are extremely powerful and many soldiers fell just after the first wave, they couldn't take the intensity of the attacks and many of them suffered a one-hit kill.
The rest were able to barely defend and most of them did so by dodging.
The formation of the mutants is as solid as it was when they started the march.
Even though the numbers are high on this site, they are still being pushed back.
In fact, the wave of soldiers couldn't even meet the rear lines.
The formation stayed like that until Sam and Arman joined the fray.
At first, they didn't attack at all and only defended. But the situation changed when a person who is at the last line of the formation saw him and yelled.
"He is our target kill him."
Sam looked at him and noticed that he is one of the thirty people who came along with the master, he seems to be the one in charge of these people.
He also noticed that there are a few more people from that thirty within the formation and they also looked at him at the same time.
All of a sudden, the mutants all only have one thing in their minds and that is to kill Sam.
As for the rest of the soldiers, they are just fodder in front of them.
Sam and Arman already jumped into the middle of the formation and all the mutants are charging towards him, but most of them are held up by the soldiers. Even though the soldiers are weak, they are not weak to the point that they would collectively die in a single move.
The people who could die like that are actually dead. The people who are standing now can barely take it, but even then, they don't have any chance that they could kill the mutant.
But still, they are trying desperately.
This at least gave Sam and Arman some time so they can fight it out and the mutants wouldn't have time to gang up on him by too much.
Sam took his two swords and attacked the mutant beside him.
The two swords impaled into the chest and there is a reaction from the blades, the blood of these mutants seemed to be so nourishing to the blood iron.
When Sam took the swords back, the wound made by the reaper was healed, but the executioner left the gash and there is grey corrosion around the flesh of the mutant.
The fight began. Sam used the wind element mostly and only used the lightning element for kicking the opponents. He used both the elements efficiently as he retaliated against the group of mutants that are attacking them.
Arman is trying to fight one on one mostly and he seemed to hold an advantage.
The battle is going on intensely and Sam never took more than a minute or two to kill a mutant.
Within ten minutes, there are five bodies around him and the sixth one was just about to fall down.
He noticed that the swords are becoming denser and the blood essence they are absorbing are also too pure.
The blood mutants are really useful to him. They contain the purest blood essence and if their blood iron was collected, that would be some finest metal to make weapons, but since he already has such weapons, there is no need for him to do more, all he has to do is use them as supplements.
Sam is fighting multiple opponents, while the rest of the soldiers are dying quickly, soon only three to four hundred people are remaining of the first thousand and they are in a state of panic, all they want to do is retreat and run as far as they can.
The casualties on the mutant's side are far fewer. There only twenty people or so who are killed and half of them are killed by Sam, some of them by Arman and the remaining are killed by the suicide attacks of some soldiers who managed to do so in their desperation.
But the remaining blood mutants are not completely out of damage. The ganging up was not able to kill them, but they did receive some damage and all of them are trying to drink the blood to supplement and recover the injuries.
Sam and Arman exchanged a glance and got ready.
This is the best situation, they cannot let this go.
They abandoned their current clashes and directly went to the weakest of the mob. There is to not even kill them, it is to make some critical blows and the rest of them would be able to kill it.
At least, that is what they can do until the order to retreat was received.
The remaining soldiers who are on their last legs also followed his lead and ganged up three on one against the injured soldiers by abandoning their current battles.
The mutants were surprised, they didn't think that they would make such a move. Before they could react, the casualty count increased and raised drastically.
Sam and Arman are fast and four soldiers are following each of them. They used lightning element and made critical blows. Every blow could kill a normal Nascent and their energy is draining. Even Sam who has ungodly reserves of spiritual energy is feeling a pinch.
The four people following them are responsible for not only finishing the opponent but also claiming their spatial rings and the bodies.
The mutants are the result of experimentation, their bodies might give them some sort of lead to deal with the situation.
At this moment, there was a horn sound coming from the camp, all the remaining soldiers were stunned and relieved at the same time, they jumped back and at the same time, all of them took the grenades into their two hands.
Two grenades each. They threw all the grenades at the mutants and ran back for their lives.
The mutants are stunned by the objects that are coming towards them and they seemed to have no intention of chasing the soldiers down.
They started using spells and throw the grenades back, but the grenades blasted before their spells hit them and blue flames raged all over the mutants.
Some of them who are right in the full range of explosion and blocked it with his hand, had his hand severed.
The mutants that are in good condition barely suffered some bruises and damages from the pins that came out. The pins are also given by Sam. He has carried them just in case he has to make a trap and they are made in Sam's city, where they would only be made by poison.
Sam who used the wind element to jump right before the explosion as he retreated, used his eye technique and zoomed to the maximum to see any effects, the grenades are of an only normal standard grenade made of methane and the pin grenade.
Sam's main object of the check is the pins that are embedded into the bodies of mutants and small grey patches that are surrounding the pins.
He has a smirk on his face and he ran back with Arman and the remaining soldiers who are trying their best to run for their lives.
