Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 1280: Tricked and Trapped

Sam pushed the staff upwards and the Sentient Undead stepped back. It kept on hopping on its spot on its one foot as it looked at Sam menacingly. It completely ignored the three ghosts.

Sam tapped the staff on the ground creating an energy wave that made the undead creatures coming at the three ghosts to be thrown away to the sides.

He looked at the three ghosts and said.

"Things are going to get tricky. I doubt it would be possible for you to capture it."

They didn’t even know what to say to that. When the undead creature destroyed the energy barrier, they felt closest to the death they have ever been. They couldn’t even take the aura of the Sentient Undead.

They are still in shock and only with Sam’s attack did they come back to themselves.

"I have no time to babysit. You might want to use some of your moves here."

Sam said and suddenly swung his staff in the air. It hit the staff of the Sentient undead that was not even there the second before. The opponent is fast and precise in its movements. If not for Sam’s senses, his head would have been blowing up with that attack. Even if he survived that, he would have been dead by the next two following attacks.

The opponent is dancing with Sam as it used the staff skillfully. It seems like one of the souls in the chimera is actually a staff user.

Sam focused more on blocking and diverting the attacks as he led the fight far away from the three ghosts.

One stray attack from the opponent and they would be dead as a rock.

The three ghosts also came to themselves and unleashed their own undead creatures. All three of them are necromancers, even though that is not their main attacking force, it is still something that is something they are capable of.

The undead creatures they have accumulated and nurtured over the years came out all of a sudden and created a barricade around them, making the enemy undead creatures stop coming at them.

The three of them stood with their backs against each other and their undead started letting one enemy after another slip by.

They knew that it is impossible to hold the undead creatures like that, it would be a lot easier to let them have one passageway on which they would focus and limit their advance so that they could deal with the one-on-one.

The three of them are finishing the opponents quickly.

Sam who took the fight far away looked at this and sighed.

He then turned to the sentient undead that is looking at him hatefully and smiled.

"Now, let’s get serious, shall we? Let us see what you got."

With that, Sam made the first move. He dashed forward as he spun his staff and swung it to the side of the opponent, it was blocked by the energy staff, but Sam used the repel style which made the opponent fly away a bit and the opponent used the staff to stab into the ground to control itself, but at this moment, an energy bullet was shot at its face, which it had to dodge hurriedly to the side, tripping on its maimed leg and falling to the side.

Sam is already there with energy gathered at the tip of the staff as he slammed it on its head.

At the last moment, the undead creature used its hands to block the attack. The void-style explosion blew only one of the arms to Sam’s surprise.

What was even more surprising is that after the creature rolled to the side and stood up, the arm that was blown to bits and with an exposed bone, started healing itself.

He widened his eyes in disbelief. He didn’t expect that such an advanced undead would be here. Generally, not all undead creatures can heal themselves. They need to have a lot of grasp over the death energy which is not easily manipulated by the lower level undead. But this one seems to have decent skill in this.

From this Sam also understood one more thing, unless, he destroyed every bit of it and that means destroying the base skeleton as well, there is a possibility that this thing would come back into existence.

He really didn’t expect that he would come across something this powerful and interesting in a place like this.

He took a look at the three ghosts and noticed that they are not doing that bad.

The enemy undead creatures seemed to be following their instincts by themselves. The sentient undead only gave an order to attack them, it is no longer directing them.

This is a good thing for now.

But all of a sudden, at this moment, Sam sensed another commotion as he fought with the enemy.

At the mouth of the valley, some undead creatures are stampeding inside. But that is not all. The Government Expedition group, that was in the hiding was forced to come out because of the stampede.

Sam was surprised by his lack of senses. An enemy tailed him this long and he didn’t even notice it. It really is a bit problematic as he didn’t have the previous spiritual sense.

Since his mental energy has been split into two when creating the duplicate soul, he lost the mental and spiritual range he used to have. This really upset him and it clearly showed in the fight.

He moved forward as he constantly slammed the staff on the opponent’s staff.

He didn’t use any technique whatsoever. He just gathered the energy as he used the repel style and slammed it from upwards.

Even though the energy should have been repelled, the direction the repulsion force is pushing is downwards into the ground, like a hammer hitting the nail.

The Sentient Undead felt the full brunt of the attacks as it was brought to its knees. It looked at the coming staff that was rapidly nailing down and risked it. It swung its staff and intercepted it. The repulsion force made the undead roll backward with a few bones cracking.

But it didn’t take long for the creature to heal and while it went through the whole process, the sentient undead called for its underlings to block Sam for a while.

Sam started using the energy bullets again as he made his way forward. The undead creatures are not exactly a threat, but they are just too many and they are too annoying.

He used the second section in frustration as he moved forward and occasionally used the third section to make the undead creatures blow away in his way.

He didn’t expect that this many underlings could get into this small gap in this small timeframe.

Meanwhile, the three ghosts suddenly became a bit free.

Because of the appearance of the Government expedition team that are more in number, the undead creatures have split and now that the Sentient undead called for some of its underlings to defend its own ass, they are a bit free.

They made their own undead creatures go offensive and they moved towards Sam and the Sentient Undead.

Sam cleared the way rapidly as he made his way towards the Sentient Undead while the three ghosts took out the purgatory formation flags. Sam looked at them, but he didn’t react, if his attack lands properly, they would be able to place the formation flags properly and the undead would be trapped.

He looked at the momentum and realized that it is plausible.

Sam leaped into the air as he spun his staff and gathered his energy evenly over it. He channeled void style as he swung the staff over his head towards the head of the sentient undead.

Right before the attack was about to land, Sam suddenly saw a change in expression in the face of the Sentient Undead.

He had a very bad feeling about this. He landed and on his feet and the attack continued, but all of a sudden the energy in the attack dissipated completely into thin air and he Sam felt a soul-searing pain.

But he didn’t scream. He gritted his teeth and looked around in surprise. The three ghosts are looking at him with a cold smile as they controlled the purgatory formation.

The formation that was supposed to be focused on the Sentient undead is actually focused on him. He is feeling suffocated and his soul is undergoing a lot of stress as it faced the full burn of the purgatory he himself created.

The first ghost looked at him and said.

"I must say, that you are the toughest prey we had to hunt. But it seems like you are way too naïve for your strength. You are really careless with us. If you hadn’t shown that first chapter of the curse guide, we wouldn’t have planned to do this. Rather, we would have let you go, after all, you are way too powerful for us to risk it, but that curse guide is so enticing and you even let us make the weapon to go against you, it is way too tempting to let this go. Thank you so much for this. We will definitely remember you for the rest of our lives."
