Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

*BOOM*

Before Sam could even properly get up, another explosion occurred beside him. This time, instead of dodging he relied on using a defensive barrier.

Which didn't work as well as he wanted it to work, but still it didn't throw him off far away.

He looked at the police officer with a frown. He doesn't know who that person is. For the people he killed until now, he is sure who they are and why they have such resentment towards him.

But this person is someone Sam doesn't even know. He is pretty sure that he didn't die by Sam's hands.

So, he is very confused on why this guy appeared in his tower.

He doesn't have any time to waste on contemplation. So, he threw the thoughts to the back of his mind and got ready to fight back. Only after he stood up and started circulating his energy did Sam understand that it is not a plausible thing to do.

He cannot fight back for now. He noticed that black lines are appearing on his body. They are spreading along the veins. He couldn't circulate his spiritual energy normally. In fact, even absorbing the spiritual energy in the surroundings became a problem.

Sam could only grit his teeth and wave his hands. Harbinger came out.

He jumped onto the Harbinger and let the spirit take control of the board. Instead of Sam attacking, the board just attacked its own with Sam's commands.

The board hovered over the area as wind blades and wind energy explosions ran rampage. Sam keenly observed the police officer to see how he would react. But to his surprise, not a single scratch could be seen on him.

All the police officer did was aim the gun at different spots and gather energy from different gun wounds.

Each wound gave him a different type of energy. When he used a wound on his leg, the bullet's energy is sharp, confined, and precise. It is more like an energy beam.

When he used the one from the back, the energy explosion has a ripple effect and spread far and wide.

A wound from the chest gave him the normal large explosion that threw Sam off at the start.

A wound from the arm gave the flexibility to the attacks and the police officer managed to change the trajectory of the bullet.

Just like this, there are different attacks that the police officer can do with all of his wounds, and sometimes he can even combine two or more wounds to create an explosion of various qualities.

If not for the speed of Harbinger, Sam felt like he would have a really hard time with this. The corruption is spreading rapidly and he is barely able to control it while fighting.

After he tackled the police officer for a while, he finally understood that it would be hard for him to defeat this person if he is struggling with the black energy.

So, he needs to find a way to clear this corruption and get back to the fight.

As soon as he thought up to that point, a bunch of images flashed in his mind. It is the method to remove corruption. It seems to be one of the things the gods imprinted in his mind while putting down a seal on his soul.

He now naturally knew how to do it, even though he didn't do any of it before.

He looked into the surroundings to find a spot to start the process. He is in an area that looked like suburbs.

And he looked at a certain spot that looked like an empty area far away. He zoomed the harbinger towards that place.

The police officer followed him for a while. The speed which should have been almost impossible for a person of that level was seen in that police officer. But as soon as Sam went out of that suburb area, he stopped chasing.

He shot at Sam a few times, which were dodged by the harbinger, but Sam managed to escape.

The police officer looked at Sam coldly, before walking back into the suburbs.

Meanwhile, Sam moved towards what looked like fields. There are no houses in the vicinity except for one barn. The rest of the area is completely filled with fields.

Sam knew that there is a great chance that the barn has some people that might want to take care of him, so he decided to land in the fields with a considerable distance between him and the barn.

After landing, he let harbinger take care of him, while he sat there trying to channel the corrupt energy. It is impossible for him to directly observe this without going back to the pillar. But once he goes back to the pillar. But going back to the pillar and returning back to the tower is going to be a hassle.

At least Sam wants to explore the first floor completely before he went back to the pillar.

So, there is a remedy for his situation. All he has to do is suppress the corrupt energy into the center of his body and perform a seal with hand signs so that it will stick there without affecting the rest of his body.

Of course, there are some possible side effects and many ways it could go wrong. It is safer to go back to the pillar and process the corrupt energy there, but Sam decided to take the risk. If things go well, he will go back to that place only after the first floor is cleared.

While Sam is meditating and performing some hand signs, far away from him near the barn, a large white rat came out of the barn. It has the same black eyes. But its body is different from a regular rat. It almost looked like the rat has taken steroids and worked out for years.

It ran into the fields towards Sam, followed by dozens of rats that have similar but also different variations in their bodies. Some looked lean and they are fast as bullets, some managed to bite through everything in their way, they are not even bothering to move around some rocks in the field, they are just biting through them.

Some rats are moving underground as if they are fish in the water. The list could go on.

And followed by those dozens of rats are actually a few dogs. They are not many, a little over half a dozen. One of them is a pitbull, another one is a husky, and the remaining looked like they are just stray dogs.

Of course, their eyes are black and they have massive fangs. Their claws also grew bigger and they looked like savage beasts that could tear something apart at any given moment.

Sam who is sitting in the middle of the field tried his best to suppress the corrupt energy. All the black lines slowly started going back and they gathered I his abdomen.

He quickly made a few hand signs and right when he was about to make a move, he felt a sense of danger.

The harbinger made its move. A large wind blade cut through the fields and went straight ahead at the rat that appeared nearby.

They lunged forward instead of dodging. Its teeth started glowing with weird energy as it bit into the wind blade.

The tangible wind blade was broken in half as the rat bit through it.

The harbinger didn't stop. Energy beams and wind blades were shot at the rats like crazy. The whole place turned into a chaotic mess. Sam frowned, but he didn't dare stop the process now. He knew for sure that he would have hell to pay if he is disturbed at the moment.

He made the final three signs and suppressed the energy.

He opened his eyes and looked at the harbinger. He took out his new staff, the one with the granular energy conduction, and went to assist the board.

A rat that came directly out of the ground jumped at him. He swung the staff directly at the rat's head. The head is crushed into the ground. Sam applied pressure and wanted to completely crush the head into the past.

But to his surprise, the rat just dug through the group in a flash and disappeared from that spot. It came out instantly and tried to bite Sam in the leg.

Sam stomped at it to let it go. The rat once again dug into another hole and disappeared. Sam felt frustrated, because right when he was about to deal with this one annoying rat, another rat came out of nowhere.

He swung the staff at its head. This time the force threw the rat far away making it crash into a tree. The rat made a hole in the tree before it crashed into the ground behind it. It looked at Sam crazily before it disappeared from the spot. Sam of course didn't notice and started fighting with the remaining fights.
