Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
chapter-577

Sam merely smiled at Kartikeya's reminder and let him make move and Sam's next move is for him to attack the king with his queen.

This time, Sam didn't behave like a madman or a maniac, instead, he behaved calmly and went back to his ninety percent light element fusion form. But this time, he didn't take out the staff, instead, he took out the Executioner sword.

There is a reason why wouldn't use this blade normally. Because it was nurtured with hydra's blood and it has an extensive bleed effect on the wounds along with some wicked corrosive effect. In a normal fight, even before he could enjoy the bout, he was already kicking the ass of his opponents. So, with this blade, it will be all too easy.

So, he wouldn't use it. But since he is going against one of the best, he has to be at his best. He has to use all his tricks up his sleeve and that is why he made sure to damage Kartikeya dearly even at the cost of sacrificing himself.

But now, there is no longer a need for that. His aim in the last two rounds is to create as many wounds on Kartikeya as possible and preferably all of them on the hands and he did attack the hands and they are still bleeding.

As for the left hand, it has even severe wounds because of Sam's repeated attack.

This is the best chance Sam could have. Kartikeya has around twenty-two and a little more of the health bars and Sam's queen health is twenty-five and it has full health since he didn't use it in a battle.

He held the sword tightly as he looked at Kartikeya who is extremely vigilant and held his spear in a battle stance.

The first thing Sam did is activate the eye technique to its limit. He already felt the energy ripple attacks of Kartikeya before and there is something wrong with them.

It is a style on par with the Void style, but they completely work in different principles.

He is a bit afraid of that and has to vary that. He started circulating void style all over his body. He has to use every single means he has on him to get a victory.

Sam launched himself forward and even before he reached the opponent, he already slashed the sword once.

A light blade escaped from the edge of the blade and went straight to his opponent's throat.

But before it landed, Kartikeya wielded his spear to destroy the light blade in the middle, but that didn't come without a cost, the void style creates a void that causes the explosion and as soon as the spear and the light blade came into contact the opponent was pushed back by a few inches.

Kartikeya smiled and moved forward as Sam is already there.

Sam didn't use light blades anymore and directly engaged in close combat.

His moves are all tricky as he aimed for one part and as Kartikeya was about to block the strike, he diverted it.

And he is hitting every part that he can get a hold of. And after an exchange of more than a hundred moves, Sam finally made a slash on Kartikeya's left arm. The cloth tied to reduce the bleeding was torn and only a small gash was left on top of the already existing wound.

The corrosive effect kicked in and the skin surrounding the wound and even the wound itself started turned purple, albeit slowly.

Kartikeya didn't seem to care too much though, he only took a glance due to the pain, other than that he didn't do anything but circulate the energy to aid the natural healing of the wound. Because he didn't have time to care as Sam is not willing to let him relax.

Sam attacked as if he is a rabid dog not giving him a chance, but the attacks are not done in madness. They just looked like that.

After another hundred moves in which Sam got some wounds, he managed to injure Kartikeya one more time, and this time, it was on the leg. Sam slashed through the calf muscle.

Kartikeya frowned and the energy started changing. Sam didn't deactivate the eye technique and he could see the energy ripples. He immediately activated Void style.

The energy wave passed through his body and entered the sword as it clashed with the spear, but at the point of contact, there is an energy ripple trying to push him back as if it is trying to throw him as far as it could.

But the explosion of the energy neutralized the energy and both attacks nullified each other.

Sam didn't waste his time though, he went on using void style by depleting his energy and in turn depleting his health.

But Kartikeya's health drop is not that huge. In fact, it is considered small. Even with the Hydra poison and the energy ripple, He was barely depleted by one health bar all this while and Sam was already down by two.

After this constant nullifying effect that lasted for some time, all of a sudden, Sam felt the energy ripples act upon him. The void-style slash was not sufficient enough to nullify it and his hands bled.

But he is using the light elemental fusion, the wounds healed, but the health is not completely restored. After all, even healing himself will make him exhaust his own energy.

The fight went on and Sam couldn't get past that wicked energy ripple.

That ripple is also different Kartikeya kept on wielding in different ways that once it would throw Sam away like a rag doll and destroy his balance and another time it would deal him a blow that could fluctuate his energy circulation and the most torturing of all is that it would tear apart Sam's flesh as if it was cotton candy.

The skin tore at ease and even Sam's feather coat couldn't take repeated blows at the same spot and his health is also reducing. He is playing an extremely safe game. Although his attacks are rapid and continuous, he is not being reckless. Only his motion seemed like that.

Kartikeya's speed is good, but he is not as fast as him. But his precision and timing beat Sam's speed.

Sam couldn't find a good opportunity at all and he was being slowly worn down. All he could do was leave some small gashes here and there. But he is not exactly disappointed.

He knew this is not the real battle, the real battle will begin after he was done here as a Queen piece. The real battle is when he comes back as the King. And all of this, since the first queen, the rook, the Knight, and the second queen piece he is fighting as, all of this is just a foundation.

After a few more moves, Sam took a huge hit to his stomach, the ripples started churning his guts. He wanted to throw up, but he fought his urge to do so because he knew that something is not right with the ripples this time. They are not as chaotic, they are too orderly and they are too controlled.

His instinct is telling him that If he puked he would lose. His stomach has a large gash and blood is not stopping at all. Due to the energy ripple, he couldn't heal.

He forcefully threw a pair of light blades and went back as much as he could. He stood at the edge of the stage. He has only one and a half health bar left and it is decreasing. Sam grit his teeth and forcefully stabilized his energy.

He deactivated his elemental fusion. Kartikeya walked near him slowly and he also has substantial damage.

His armor is gone completely. His situation is not too great, but his back is still straight and he is not gasping for breath. He walked straight and confident. He is as sharp as his spear, just that he is bleeding from several wounds and they are corroded with purple color and it is slowly expanding.

Sam looked at his health bar and couldn't help but feel satisfied. He still has around thirteen health bars left.

"You did a lot better than I expected."

"Don't come to any conclusions yet, there is a lot more from where it came from."

As soon as he said those words, Kartikeya already took his stance to attack, but Sam is fast. He used all his energy to lunge forward. As Kartikeya was about to take a step back and attack, he felt like his legs were hurt and when he looked down, he saw the shadows are holding his legs and are spreading up at the same time trying to tearing into his skin.

He created ripples of energy and the shadows disappeared. But this distraction for the fraction of a second is enough for Sam to make his move.

Sam's skin became purple. This is the fusion he never used. The poison fusion. He didn't even think a second before exploding himself.

Kartikeya looked at him and said.

"I told you not to do this." He waved his spear and the spiritual energy became visible and it rippled all over.

Sam disappeared with an explosion of purple smoke.

The energy ripples and the smoke explosion met and Kartikeya was thrown to the other end of the stage.
