Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
chapter-875

Sam decided on what to do next.

He let the beasts do the killing. As for why he didn't want to lose the points that are this easy to obtain and the beasts wouldn't be affected by the sudden violent urge. Even when they killed it, the violent urge was increased in himself.

So, he just closed his eyes meditated after letting the beasts out in a populous area of every new place he appeared and they stuck close together as they collected the points for him while he tried his best to close his eyes and concentrate on filtering these unwanted and unnatural emotions out of his system.

In this way, he managed to stay calm for the longest time possible.

But there is one thing still ultimately confusing to him. The time.

As he warped to a different environment every time, he is losing this sense of time and he feels like he stayed a lot of time in the previous one and he would be staying a lot of time in the next one.

He doesn't know how this feeling is being generated like this, but he understood how it affects the players. Since he filtered these violent urges, it is still okay, but if not this loss of sense of time will definitely add fuel to the fire.

As he thought about these things, he is really afraid and nervous to meet another player at this moment. He sure as hell knew that everyone does hold back whenever they are fighting each other so as to not cause any permanent damage, but if their mental states are like this, it would be hard to hold back.

He has to think of a way to restrain them and calm them down without harming them too much.

Sam felt helpless after a long time.

He couldn't do anything at the moment and just has to go with the flow.

So, he experienced the long and tiring journey of these warping realities and after a long time which he didn't know how long, the one thing he wished didn't happen, happened.

He appeared in front of another player and that player is someone he least wanted to appear in front of him at the moment.

It is Arkiv.

Arkiv is currently standing a few meters away from Sam is a plain ground. His facial expression is showing an ultimate rage. His whole body is trembling with that rage. His veins popped on his forehead and he is clenching his teeth and fists so hard. He held his bow tightly as he looked at Sam menacingly and shot without even a second of consideration.

Sam took out his reaper sword and sliced the arrow in two. He didn't let the beasts come out. Arkiv is too dangerous a target. Even though he might appear weak sometimes in battles with other players, the fact of the matter is that Sam would pick other players to fight instead of Arkiv if he had to.

Because Arkiv's archery is that skillful. In most of the battles between the players they hold back and so does he, so he cannot use his dangerous skills which are more in his arsenal compared to others.

Sam and Arman might be the only two that knew about this in the whole group.

Sam started dodging as he used the partial light elemental fusion and the light blades to slice the arrows into two before they managed to hit him.

But constant dodging and blocking are only being difficult for him. He is trying his best to close the distance between them, but Arkiv is also moving backward even though slower, it is still reduced the distance he closed.

After reaching a certain range, Arkiv started throwing trick shots.

He is shooting multiple arrows at the same time. Particularly this one trick shot where one arrow condensed with pure spiritual energy turning into multiple arrows mid-air.

It almost covered every dodging point of Sam, so he can only block, but the light blades can only block so many and they still kept coming. He used his hands to the utmost and managed to destroy all the arrows that are coming at him, but while he is busy like this for a moment, Arkiv got ready with a big one.

Aiming straight at him.

Sam didn't have any choice but to block it head.

The Reaper and the arrow clashed and Sam widened his eyes in disbelief.

The arrow exploded at the point.

The explosion is different from the void style and normal spiritual energy explosion. It is more like the air in the compressed cylinder just broke the cylinder apart. It is that kind of explosion that solely focused on the physical effect on Sam's body.

Luckily he is strong and escaped with an extremely numb arm and a possibly swollen wrist at that point along with his whole body vibrating losing some balance.

Sam tried his best not to waste any time so that he could escape the next attack and he barely did it with a hair's breadth.

There is a reason why Sam is not attacking fiercely.

He is afraid.

Currently, Arkiv doesn't seem to recognize him at all and his battle is going on with basic instincts. But the instincts are only screaming 'kill at any cost'.

So, even Sam proved to be strong, Arkiv's first reaction wouldn't be to run away, rather attack with the best possible attacks he could. The moment he senses a serious threat from Sam all the bets will be lost and even Sam if could defend, would definitely lay waste of Arkiv when the dust settled.

And even if Sam didn't kill him, as long as warping happened at the moment, Arkiv would reappear in another place where the beasts would come and kill him easily in that weakened state.

Sam might even be the calmest of all the players in the current Palace of inheritance, but he is the one who is suffering the most.

He has to hold back his strength and not raise an alarm for Arkiv but still subdue him.

So, he could only borrow some pages from other's books and try them.

After a series of exchanges which resulted in both of them getting minor scratches, Arkiv once again upped the game.

He once again shot those multiple arrows that are appearing in midair, but this time, they are different. Every one of them moved towards him no matter where he dodged and every arrow is exploding.

He got hit by a couple of them. He crashed into the ground and fell.

But surprisingly, he not only didn't attack back, he turned off his light elemental fusion and activated the wood elemental fusion which in terms of speed is not actually a good thing.

The wood elemental fusion is also something he was least used to.

But as he thought earlier, he is trying to take a page from another's book.

He ran towards Arkiv with his eye technique used to the maximum and as the arrows came at him, he started blocking them with the large wooden shields.

He took the full brunt of most attacks as he tried his best to reach Arkiv and once he is within the range of two meters and managed to maintain that for a second, the plain started sprouting around. Arkiv didn't care about that though. He is so focused on Sam who is so close yet taking so much damage from him but still being so tenacious.

He finally lost his cool and was about launch a final attack at Sam and he activated the blood art.

Arkiv's blood art didn't give him any armor like Kumar, the only thing he got is actually an arrow and an enhancement to the bow is already holding. But Sam knew he would be done if he took the shot from that arrow. He would be sprawling on the ground with an arm and a leg lost.

But he is not worried. He walked closer to Arkiv and Arkiv allowed him as he is sure that he would be able to make the hit that will kill Sam.

His eyes are crazed and there is a crazy smile on his face that looked completely unlike him.

Just when he was about to release the arrow, Sam's leg glowed with the wood elemental energy and slammed his foot into the ground and the small insignificant sprouts that came out suddenly grew larger and turned into dense and thick vines completely enveloping Arkiv.

They only have one job and that is forcefully binding Arkiv and Sam jumped on to him and held his head.

There is the only way he could think of bringing clarity to Arkiv and that is to forcefully shake his soul.

He doesn't know when the soul would be calmest when people are living, but he knew that it would calmest when the person is about to die.

He used the dark elemental energy to create a false feeling of death so that Arkiv could calm down a bit and after five minutes of constant trials, Sam finally managed to that, and Arkiv's eyes finally revealed some clarity.

"Sam…?"

Sam finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his name spoken.
