Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
chapter-564

Sam waited in the desolate land for some time, maybe thinking that the other battles would be over. But the wait went on and on. There is no day or night in that field, he sat there, he rolled over and he even slept for some time.

He almost lost the sense of time after a while. After some time, he figured he might as well train and started the body refining. Even though he works every day with so many things, he always trained for some time in one way or another. Just that he wouldn't spend as much time as the rest of his peers.

But now that he got a lot of time and an environment with the spiritual energy of higher density than his regular atmosphere, he might as well use it.

He doesn't know how long he trained, but he kept on refining his body and practiced his combat techniques.

After who knows how long, he was finally woken up from his stupor. Karthikeya's silhouette appeared once again and Sam wore his clothes back and started restoring his energy.

"You are exempt from the second round, but you have to wait for the remaining people to complete their second round. I will come back in five more days."

With that, the silhouette disappeared once again. Sam felt like this has to be the most boring Palace of inheritance he will ever be in. The first test is way too easy and the second test is being skipped and the third one happens, who knows when. He felt like he wore his clothes unnecessarily.

He once again took off his coat and the vest before going back to training.

After five days, Sam didn't get any more notification, the bright light once again enveloped him when he is in the middle of training and he disappeared.

He once again reappeared in a room, but this time, his appearance didn't change at all. He is still full of sweat and bare-chested.

The room only one table and there is a large holographic map on it. He looked around and there are three windows to the room and one of them has a view towards a large forest and he could faintly see the hills far away. The second window has a view of the long beach and the last one has a view of the vast sea.

He is inside the top floor of the tower. There is no door on the walls, but there is one on the floor which might probably have stairs leading downstairs.

He tried to open it but to no avail.

He wanted to see if he can jump out of the window, but that is also not possible as an unknown force is blocking him from jumping down. He could only sigh and sit back in his chair.

All of a sudden some information popped up and the holographic map brightened.

After digesting all the information in his head, Sam understood what the test is.

This is more like the game of tower defense.

His objective is to get the flag on the opponent's tower while defending his own.

He observed the map carefully, the game hasn't started yet. There is still an hour time for him to plan and in this hour.

The game's rules are simple. All he has to do is, use the hundred Nascent stage cultivators under his command to defend his tower and at the same time capture the opponent's tower.

Currently, Sam is looking at the three-dimensional holographic map in front of him. The map of the whole terrain of the island they were in.

He could see two towers clearly. One of them has the red flag on top of it and the other tower which is on the other side of the island has the blue colored flag on top of it.

His color is red and his troops are also marked as red dots with a colored hue indicating their elemental usage.

All his troops are currently lined up in front of the tower and are waiting for his orders.

As for the terrain, the whole island has a stream that originated from the center of the valley surrounded by the hills on the other side of the island. The blue tower is located right beside the origin of the stream.

The map is divided into two halves.

One half is red in color and the other half is blue in color. Sam could move his troops to anywhere in the red-colored region within the grace period of this one hour.

He could see all the positions and any situation within his zone.

But for the blue zone, all he could see is the terrain, he couldn't see the position of the soldiers of his enemy and the situations of the other half. However, it is not an absolute one, when his soldiers intervene, he can get the view of the situation near the vicinities of his soldiers.

He could see everything within their sensory range and a bit more.

If the enemy soldiers are in that range, he would be able to see that too.

After checking through the terrain, Sam is looking for any special spots. There are some details regarding the beasts that reside on the island.

There are no large beast families with hundreds of them. The largest beast family barely has fifteen members.

Apart from the beast habitats, he is also looking for possible ambush points in the enemy area.

As for his own terrain, Sam didn't think of creating many ambushes. But he did observe the terrains and possible ways the enemies could infiltrate in and march forward.

He looked for all the clues that he might require. This one hour is the time that he can do whatever he wants. He cannot infiltrate the enemy's territory and the enemies cannot do the same for him. But everything else in this one hour is a fair game and there is even more special privilege that is that there would be no traveling time for the soldiers in this one hour. They will just appear, wherever he wants them to appear.

Sam then took a look at the soldiers. All of them have serial numbers. There are five elemental users and all of them are Warrior-Mages. Fire, water, wind, earth, and Wood. Twenty soldiers of each element.

He thought for a bit and started moving them within his territory as he commanded them to do some things.

As for how he commanded, all he has to do is press the indicator of the soldier with spiritual energy and voice his commands to him.

He can even do that to multiple people at the same time.

Sam left thirty soldiers near the tower and they all doing their preparations as per Sam's orders.

As for the remaining seventy soldiers, all of them are spread along.

And particularly the twenty of them are teamed to various ambush points within his territory.

The last fifty members were divided into five squads with each squad having two users of every element and they are all deployed to various positions to move towards the enemy tower.

After arranging all the things, Sam smiled and waited for the show to begin and he didn't have to wait for long.

He took out a jar of wine and some roasted meat as he got ready to issue the commands.

As soon as the time for the competition started, he could already spot a bunch of blue dots in his side of the map. At the edge of the border of the two territories. The blue dots are moving faster and deeper into his territory from some points.

Sam looked at their traveling paths and spread his spiritual energy all the field to let all his soldiers hear.

"Stick with the Plan until I say otherwise. Don't attack your own troops even by the mistake. As soon as you see the opponents you can activate the traps and escape to anywhere possible or try to get back to the tower."

With that, he sat back and relaxed.

At this moment, within the forest, a team of blue soldiers is running with extreme speed. This is a team of five and they are extremely fast. Out of five two of them are wind element users and two wood element users and an earth element user.

They seemed to be a team of scouts. But Sam doesn't know their abilities and only knew that five of them are running through the woods. They are following the path of the stream. They must be thinking of reaching the red tower from the side after reaching the end of the stream where it is joining the sea.

This is not a bad plan actually, considering that no one would think that someone would travel such a roundabout way.

This is the longest path to the tower.

After they reached a certain distance, however, they suddenly stopped and looked around. Their commander sent orders that a red soldier is in the vicinity and they halted. Their sensory range is not that large and their commander couldn't see that there are not one but two red soldiers.

As the blue team is looking around vigilantly, they heard a loud rumbling sound from the side.

At that exact moment, a large log on fire was shot into deeper woods where a small fox tribe is residing. They are extremely agile and cruel beasts. The Pyro foxes. When the large red log on fire shot into their habitat, it destroyed the surroundings and immediately became angry.

They looked in that direction and immediately started running.

The red soldiers who activated their traps left the place and both of them ran in different directions and they even appeared in front of the blue team.

The blue team wanted to split up but they could hear the angry roars and the stamping of the beasts and before they knew it, the Pyro foxes are on their tail.
