Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 264: Island

Sam entered the tower of will. It was completely closed off after that day of the examinations. Some people wanted to try their luck, but they weren’t able to do anything.

When Sam entered the tower of will, the usual room with inscriptions etched on the wall are nowhere to be see. Instead it was just like a normal empty tower, he suspected that this must have something to do with his entry.

They climbed the thirty floors and he saw the familiar platform. He placed his hands at the smaller version of the tower on the platform and started pouring in the spiritual energy.

The next moment, the whole tower was lit up. Inside and outside there is no difference. It was completely covered by a white light.

Within few minutes, the whole tower disappeared from that spot and reappeared at another place in faraway seas.

Sam opened his eyes. He was looking around and all he can see are the familiar walls of the tower. But a small entrance was opened on one of the walls leading to balcony.

When, Sam came out of that entrance, he saw a large expanse of land and can also feel the sea breeze.

He walked around the balcony and noticed that there is a large sea behind the tower.

The tower was placed on a large cliff. On one side is a vast expanse of land and on the other side, there is vast sea.

Sam and his friends looked at the land and he could feel something. Even in that night time, he can sense the presence of other three towers on the other three corners of this land. More precisely, the other three corners of this island.

Yes, for some reason he has a feeling that he is on an island.

At this moment, something happened.

A flash of light appeared in the tower. Sam and his friends ran towards it.

There a familiar silhouette of Murali appeared. It is the will of Murali.

"Welcome to my Island. I hope that your journey is smooth.

I am Murali.

And if you are not in the wrong place, then you are here for my inheritance.

Before, I tell you how to obtain it, let me tell you what you can find in this island.

According to the regulations, the candidates who cleared the four towers, can bring five people each.

If you are here, meaning you met that requirement.

In this island, not only the four candidates can get the inheritance, the helpers who came can also get the inheritance.

In this island, there are a total of sixteen inheritances out of which four are mine.

The remaining twelve inheritances are from the twelve greatest opponents I have killed in my life.

A part from that, there are many consumable scrolls which could save your life in a time of desperation. Inscription designs, weapons and some other treasures that appear from time to time on this island.

You have to stay on this island for two months.

In these two months, at random moments, an inheritance will appear until last week. On the last week, the four candidates shall contend for my four inheritances of mine.

The inheritances that appeared on the island at any random moment, anyone can contend with them.

There is no certain time limit and the inheritance will disappear only if it was cleared or the two-month time period is over.

I advise the four candidates to not participate in these and let your helpers deal with them.

Apart from that, some random treasures will be guarded by the beasts in the island.

So, the more you explore, the more danger you encounter and the more the danger the more the treasure.

The four towers are absolute safe zones. Every person inside will be safe no matter what. Even if you are bleeding to death, you can recover inside, even if you are suffering with poison, you can still get well soon.

As for outside of the island...

My final advice is, you better focus more on your survival than the inheritances because, this island is treacherous.

As soon as you get out of that tower, you will be having the hardest time, you ever had in your life.

But the hardest the obstacle you overcome, the greater the reward.

Every danger here has a reward attached to it. No matter how small it might be, no matter how insignificant it might seem, you can find a form of reward if you can see through it.

But do, remember, the survival is the most important.

From tomorrow morning, your tests in this island will start. So, rest well, while you still can."

With those words, the silhouette disappeared completely.

Sam looked at the tower walls and went down stairs.

They can stay in the tower, but Sam doesn’t want to do that.

After that, Sam walked out of the tower and floated on his harbinger to check the surroundings, but after moving a few meters away from the tower, an invisible barrier completely halted his advancement.

He tried to move in another direction, but there is no way for him to go and he soon realized that with a tower as centre and one cannot move past the radius of twenty meters.

He checked the rocky terrain of the cliff but he found nothing wrong, everything was same.

There was nothing wrong at all.

He picked up a small stone and threw it outwards, it passed through the barrier and the next thing, Sam threw a fire ball, it passed through as well.

Only a person is restricted, the attacks aren’t restricted at all.

The cliff is small and Sam can see the normal soil a hundred meters away and he can also see a slope connecting the cliff and beach on other side.

He just wanted to familiarize with the terrain, but there is no other way, he can only do so much.

He went back into the tower and waited for the morning to come.

Tomorrow, he will see what this island is all about.

Next day, Sam came out of the tower at dawn. Even though, Murali mentioned it to be tomorrow, it didn’t work at midnight and even before the dawn. Only after the sun rose, did the restriction was lifted.

After confirming that, first thing they did was split up and search.

Philip, Jack and hawk are responsible for searching the immediate area near the tower within a radius of around fifty meters.

That means, they will search the area a little after crossing the cliff and the beach as well as under the cliff.

Sam and Watt are going on their hover boards to the nearest forest and search through another fifty meters. Their search is for both animal habitats as well as other traps that might be here in this place.

After confirming that within the first fifty meters radius of the forest there are no habitats and no immediate traps, they returned and shared the findings.

This took two hours. Even though, the area covered is small, they have to make sure that their immediate surroundings are safe, so that they could make ample preparations in presence of any danger.

"There seemed to be some sort of shellfish habitat at the sea under the cliff. The waters are clear, but I can sense a great presence inside the water.

They might be some type of shell fish or star-fish, even though the water seemed clear, I couldn’t see anything and I didn’t dare to go deep into it."

Sam started thinking. This is the first habitat they encountered in this place. First, he has to confirm what is in there.

After all, Murali did say that the danger is the reward. So, even if he is dangerous, he has to take a look.

The second thing is, Sam is quite curious. This island is in the middle of nowhere. So, he is looking forward for whatever animals he might encounter.

So, now that they knew there is a habitat inside the waters, that shall be their first target.

They moved towards the beach and Sam hovered over to the place under the cliff on harbinger.

He projected some light into the waters.

The water seemed to be clear at first glance, but nothing can be seen other than the blue colour of the water.

Even after the light was projected, nothing could be seen. It is as if there was an opaque object blocking the light.

Sam frowned at this. He took out a piece of meat from the storage and dropped it into the water.

There are some ripples initially and soon, the water was clear again.

Even in these shallow waters, he couldn’t see the sea bed. And the piece of mean he dropped seemed to be mysteriously disappeared.

He increased the thrust of the harbinger and the still water was suddenly disturbed.

But there is still no vision.

He floated a little higher and took out a hand gun. He made this hand gun along with the sniper but never got to use it.

He also took out some normal metallic bullets and shot in the water in a few places. He peered his ears open to listen. Even with the enhanced sense of a cultivator, all he could hear was the bullet hitting a rock.

From all the conditions, he could deduce some possibilities on which beast exists here.

But he still needs some confirmation.

So, he took out a rabbit and threw it inside. As the rabbit was still alive, it should struggle a little bit. But after the initial struggle on the surface of the water and drowning a little bit, the rabbit completely disappeared.

Sam swiftly dipped his hand and with a pull dragged the rabbit out.

Its leg was bitten and the rabbit was whimpering in pain. Sam healed the rabbit quickly and left the place.
