Chapter 821: Frustrating Battle
Sam's words made the whole group of feathered men have a tense moment.
"You are bluffing."
The captain said as she looked dead into his eyes.
"Am I really?"
With that, there is a lump of energy bubbling up near his heart and it increased.
All the attention is gathered on that one spot as they tensely looked at him.
"I think you are still bluffing, you wouldn't lose your life for this." The captain once again said.
"Let us wait and see then."
The energy is still increasing and if it really explodes, Sam's heart would really be exploded into a few pieces leaving only his dead body behind with a large hole in the chest.
The feathered men are very tense. They don't know what Sam is like but if he really committed suicide, then they would definitely be in trouble.
The captain looked at him intently and had her spear ready. She would stop him if he is really going to do that even at the expense of critically injuring him.
But what they didn't notice is that all their attention is focused on Sam's body that they failed to see the minute changes that are happening at the edge of the invisible boundary the formation has set up around Sam.
There is extreme pressure on that boundary with very concentrated energy creating two forces.
And as the whole group is focused on the high profile stunt of Sam, all of a sudden the boundary collapsed and the space cracks appeared at that edge of the boundary, the lock disappeared and Sam who is bubbling that energy, shot that energy lump through his body and into his foot and hit the ground with void style.
*BOOM*
*CRASH*
Everything happened too fast and by the time, the captain recovered and was about to make a move, Sam's hit to the ground caused her balance to go off.
Sam used this chance to leap into the air and took out harbinger before zooming past them to escape the range of the formation.
The dust settled and the team looked dumbfounded at what happened. But at this moment a voice appeared deep in the captain's mind and she clearly recognized the voice.
"The final advice, never ever give your captive a chance to say all the bullshit he can come up with. You would be in for a nasty surprise if he can manage to divert you."
She became angry and gripped her spear hard and leaped into the air. She has white wings and she looked like a streak of white light as she followed Sam's route.
But how is it that easy to catch up with Sam when he is on harbinger?
Sam flew to a side and changed his direction before he halted in his tracks and took a look at his body.
He really did play a big gamble there.
One thing he noticed about the spatial lock is that they are not exactly designed to completely arrest a person, if that is true, then there is no need to place a formation that can let him control his energy, even if it is painful, it is not exactly a great way to restrict someone.
Sam is sure that any of the other players would be able to destroy that spatial lock with brute force, but then they wouldn't be able to move properly for a while. They would take too much damage themselves to do that.
And that condition in the middle of an entire group of enemies is not exactly a pleasant scenario.
That is why Sam found an alternate method.
He is sure that there is one thing that could clearly have some impact on the space around him and that is gravity.
He created two layers of opposite gravitational forces clashing each other in the same space. This caused the space surrounding it to have some fluctuations and the formation became unstable.
This instability is enough for a spatial formation to collapse. Any formation can be stabilized a bit even if there are any fluctuations. But the spatial formation is not exactly that forgiving.
It would go off with minor mistakes.
Sam currently sat on the tree and looked at the area through the crystal table and was surprised to see that the whole area is completely under the control of these feathered guys. It would be too difficult for Sam to escape, even if it is on the harbinger.
No matter how fast he is, he is sure that someone could be precise. But he has to take the chance if he has to get out of this place.
He opened the dimensional drifter to check his coordinate location and also check the coordinate location of Arkiv.
Arkiv and he are supposed to appear on the premises of the same city.
At first, both of them wanted to meet in the city directly and get the weapon piece after moving to the next city to take another one.
But now in the current situation, he has to go and meet that guy before he does something crazy and tried to break out of the formation, if he really did that and tried to fight off the group surrounding him, he might be able to hold on for a while, but there are just too many feathered in the surroundings and they will reach in a blink of an eye.
The situation good from bad to worse and he would be captured.
After checking the direction, Sam started moving, he went on full speed without any second thoughts.
Some feathered that are looking through the forest encountered him but he didn't stop and just dodged everyone.
He traveled for over half an hour before he reached the premises of the location. He looked at the crystal table once again and got a glimpse. He was relieved to see that Arkiv is still there in the formation, but from the looks of it, he is trying to force his way out.
It would be hard if Sam delayed it anymore.
But just as he was about to speed up and get there and help him out, he felt an energy sensation and his instincts screamed danger, he halted in his tracks and changed the direction of the harbinger, but he was too slow, the attack still hit him in the left shoulder.
Even though it failed to penetrate through his coat, the impact still threw him off. Sam immediately tried his best to control the hoverboard and stay on it.
He was surrounded by the flying feathered and the leader of it is none other than the Captain he ditched a while ago.
"You are smart and capable, but that doesn't mean you can escape easily from us."
The captain said coldly and held the spear in her hands once again.
"Surrender or you would regret fighting us. You are outnumbered."
"Sometimes numbers don't matter."
Sam took out the reaper sword and looked at them coldly. The blood scales came out of the divine dimension and hovered around. It would be hard to fight normally while they are in the air. Feathered are best in aerial combat. And he is short on time.
So, he let out Yanwu and Sky to help him out.
When the two beasts appeared out of nowhere, the group was startled a bit.
Sam made the first move without waiting for the enemies and the battle started. He was surprised to see the spear kill off the captain.
The skill is of an extremely high level.
She is a wind element user and this weird skill is making it hard for Sam to dodge her attacks. No matter where he is, the attack is being sent towards him.
The attack was too easy to manipulate midair. Even a casual wind blade thrown out of the spear is being manipulated until it reached his body. Sam doesn't know is she is doing that, but he doesn't have the time to do that.
He looked at Arkiv and had an idea.
He closed his eyes and the blood scales appeared in front of his body creating a small curtain as they defended the attacks of the captain and her helpers while Sam took a moment to activate the crystal table. He tried to communicate with Arkiv, but to his surprise, he couldn't.
He felt like cursing someone right now.
After a moment of thought, he couldn't help but take an extremely deep breath and yell at the top of his lungs with the spiritual energy-enhancing his voice.
"ARKIV DON'T BREAK OUT OF THE FORMATION."
Along with that loud yell, Sam used the lightning element to make the lightning strike continuously.
This loud commotion got the attention of not just Arkiv and the feathered that are surrounding him, but also the feathered around in the area.
There are more than a hundred feathered now gathered around Sam to deal with him.
Sam felt a bit frustrated. Now that Arkiv stopped the violent action, he is free enough to deal with them.
He stored the reaper sword away and took out the handguns.
He looked at the Captain and said.
"Blame the person who ordered you to do this."
