Chapter 629: Boring Battle
Sam let Chatur hide in the Vronti castle for the time being and he would come to the Origin castle along with him.
He decided to play around the battle for these two days and that too in direct battle. He didn't want to battle with undead and other tricks.
In fact, he wanted to go for an old-fashioned fist fight for a change, so he and Arman immediately covered their faces with black cloth as they wore full black. They don't even have any special inscriptions and enchantments. They are just some high-quality normal clothes.
As for why they are wearing this, it is just because Sam just wanted to have some fun.
They reached the base that was under attack as discreetly as possible and joined the army directly. Sam flashed his special commander badge to the acting commander in secret and Arman who also has a special badge showed it and only the acting commander at that base knew of their real identities.
The acting commander was ecstatic. He didn't expect that a special commander and an elite would be coming here. Currently, the rest of the special commanders are in a deep discussion as the addition of the new elites and the previous losses, made them rethink their situation, and with Sam's prowess and the players' goading, they reached an agreement.
They wanted to get the most out of this by cooperating together isolating Sam. The normal commander of Mov is also not there as he was sent back to the empire by Sam.
So, there is no opposition and to their surprise, Noah and Arkiv who are supposed to be on the Mov side are also supporting them.
They are currently planning some big moves and didn't care about the skirmishes that are happening at the two places, they are planning a large-scale attack on the sect. But since Sam is not involved in this, he didn't know anything and decided to just mess around in the current battles.
They entered the two separate squads at two ends of the battle-field. Both of them only used lightning elements and they only used their fists. They didn't even care about strategy or orders, they just jumped into the enemies and started punching with lightning fists.
The silver sparks and blue sparks are glowing all over as they attacked barbarically.
Sam didn't even follow his usual style of attacking vitals, he is just punching wherever he can and started penetrating the enemy formation.
The same thing could be seen happening from the other side.
And this led to the commander of the enemy troops to fall into panic. After all, the plans the battle erudite gave him are only related to battling against the army. It didn't specify the battle against single experts creating mass murder.
The reason Battle Erudite didn't do so; was not that he didn't want to, rather he thought, he didn't need to because he thought, Sam or other elites wouldn't use such an approach and they would get the information from their spies if they are moving and the Elite ten members would be prepared.
But Sam and Arman joining the battle are completely decided on a whim and there is no other plan behind it. They even sneaked in completely beyond their thoughts.
By the time, they realized who they are it was too late because they only managed to find out after their clothes are torn and their faces are revealed and people from the Elite ten saw them. But, Sam and Arman are already in the middle of the battle formations, this caused chaos and the elite ten members ran forward commanding the troops to disperse directly.
They didn't want Sam to create another massacre. They suffered enough losses already.
Even though this many people surrounded Sam, due to him being surrounded like that, at most six people could attack him and Sam is fast enough to kill or injure these six people before they could attack and they are being replaced by another six.
They couldn't do anything but take the damage.
But after the call from the elites, they immediately dispersed and the Nagin castle troops didn't let go of this chance.
They took the initiative to take advantage. The formations have been continuously making them feel stressed as they are not being able to break them.
Even when someone strong was able to break them for a bit, just like how Sam was stuck between the group with six people surrounding him, they are going to be dead and the formation is in such a way that they couldn't break through with a chain of people.
They are separating the group of people that tried to break and surrounded them separately. But Sam and Arman are anomalies and added to the fact they are acting like normal soldiers made it hard for them.
But now, the two elites came forward, the normal soldiers of the Union sect are actually relieved even though they met with the attacks of the Nagin soldiers.
Sam smiled as the person who came to him was none of than the Wind Fiend who came on his bird. But he didn't fly on it. He jumped off and took out his saber as he launched himself towards Sam while the Vulture started supporting him.
Sam smiled and didn't take out his sword, the silver lightning crackled all over his scar-filled body and he lunged towards Wind fiend. He didn't even use partial fusion and only attacked with his fists.
As for the Vulture, it could wish it can catch Sam alone without harming Wind Fiend directly.
Sam was sticking to Wind Fiend's body like a young maiden in love as if he couldn't live without that guy. He was so close and the vulture would definitely cause severe damage to Wind fiend if it attacked.
Sam continuously punched forward as he even blocked several saber strikes and stabs with his fists and sent jolts of the shock of silver lightning through that contact.
The amount of lightning is extremely small, but he is repeatedly making contact. Sam must say he was impressed by Wind fiend's defense as he still stood and fought back after taking multiple hits.
Even though Sam didn't use full power, this is really impressive.
As he was battling, Sam slowly lost his advantage, after all, he is only using his fists and fighting at a moderate pace with minimal lightning. It could be said that he is even toying and observing the other battle between Arman and another elite of the Usaine sect.
They are having a somewhat tight battle as Arman held a considerable advantage. The reason being both of them using the lightning elements and Arman being more proficient with his skills.
He already took out his saber as he countered his opponent who is using a staff.
They are having a battle with high tension. Looking at them he felt a bit jealous, he didn't have such a tense battle in a long time.
That is why he is suppressing his abilities like this now. As for enemies escaping, he has his ideas for that. But for now, he changed his stance a bit and increased the lightning energy in his arms and legs. His speed and strength increased and all of a sudden he landed a clean upper-cut straight to the chin of the Wind Fiend which made him fly off a bit and crash into the distance.
But Sam didn't follow up, rather he immediately leaped backward and dodged two wind blades that missed him with hair's breadth and launched himself at the Vulture behind him.
The vulture reacted fast enough and escaped, but his fist still grazed at the lower abdomen causing the vulture to scream in pain.
Sam jumped backward and looked at the man and the beast before shaking his head. This is getting really boring.
He looked at Wind Fiend with a bit of disdain. Even though this guy is good, he can only be considered a bit above average. The players could also wipe the floor with him. He is more like Night Charm.
She is good at assassination, not open battles and this guy is also not good at direct clashes, he is good at aerial combat and ambushes.
But he is not great at melee. At least, not one of the top dogs in that area when compared to Sam and the rest of the players.
Maybe, other people will be having a problem when dealing with him as he is mostly focused on the mid-ranged attacks with wind blades and saber combination, but Sam has yet to give him a chance at that as he directly stuck to him.
He had his fun, albeit very short, but he is bored. His body suddenly got surrounded by silver lightning and he took out staff as he looked at Wind Fiend.
Wind fiend also gritted his teeth and got ready to launch a final attack. He now has enough distance to build his attack too, even the vulture got into position.
Sam even noticed that Wind fiend is holding the shadow token and the same hand has a thumb on the beast pouch that was on his waist. He was ready to escape too.
His saber was condensing the spiritual energy and wind howled around it as he ran forward.
The wings of the vulture also glowed and shone like sharp blades of wind as both man and the beast lunged towards him.
Sam slammed his foot to the ground and flipped in the air as he swung his staff towards the beast. Wind fiend frowned at this as the target is far off, the staff wouldn't react to the vulture as the swing is small.
But as the staff came to halt, a bolt of silver lightning came out of the edge and stuck the head of the vulture, make it numb and stunned and the Vulture stopped flying and crashed.
Sam didn't stop though, he used the falling momentum and swung the staff downwards as it landed on the left hand that was holding the shadow token completely breaking the limb.
Due to his single second of daze, Wind Fiend's attack missed Sam and grazed on the vulture's back.
But the vulture couldn't even scream as it is completely numb and paralyzed.
Sam landed on the ground as he looked at both of them. He made a swift move and broke another hand of Wind Fiend and smiled. The boring battle was over instantly.
