Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer-Novel

Sam looked at Dayus with a raised eyebrow.

There is a reason why he gave the fragment to Arkiv. Because Arkiv also has lightning elements and he is a perfect competition for Dayus, he wanted to create some tension and make the three, Dayus, Agun, and Donner to come at him, Arkiv and Arman.

It is better than going after them to hunt for weapon fragments.

And it seems like his plan worked.

"You know it is not going to happen. Just get on with it already."

Arkiv spoke and the tension started building up in the group. Nobody knows who is going to make the first move and in the end, it is Agun that made the first move.

He is the most impatient of the group. He threw a giant ball of flame towards Arman and ran after it to get closer.

He expected a return attack or something like that, but to his surprise, nothing of that sort came.

Sam started running away without any shame. In fact, there is a smirk on his face and the duo followed him.

The rest of the group started clashing as well and the frenzy of the feathered following Dayus is only an additional nuisance in all this.

After running for a while, Sam jumped up and stood on a large stone pillar, and closed his eyes.

Arkiv and Arman also jumped to the nearest stone pillar and got ready with their attacks.

The sky was covered with blue lightning while started shooting like crazy.

Before the rest of the followers could notice what is happening, explosions occurred in the surroundings.

The group of feathered were completely caught in it while the three players managed to defend themselves a bit.

But that is only temporary.

As soon as they were distracted by the explosions, Arkiv and Arman attacked.

Arman’s lightning strikes landed continuously without any break, but two of the three players following them are actually the lightning users as well.

So, it is not an ideal element to fight here. But it is a good thing that is mostly there for support, to distract the three of them as Arkiv attacked.

The arrows pierced through the dusty smoke and reached their targets. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovel(F)ɪre

By the time the dust cleared, Sam disappeared along with his two teammates.

The same situation happened again and again.

The numbers of the feathered are dwindling like crazy while the three players are getting exhausted.

And that exhaustion led to confusion and before they knew it, they are inside a pit, Sam has prepared before.

The gravity of the pit is increased by many folds and they couldn’t just jump up. Right when they thought they got the hold of the gravity, it would change and make them plant their faces into the ground.

The feathered that are flying was also dragged to the ground because of the gravitational pull.

"Sam, let us get out of here."

Dayus screamed at the top of his lungs. But Sam didn’t care.

He sat at the edge of the pit with his teammates and said.

"Give me your fragment and I will leave you guys alone. I won’t participate in the rest of the fight."

"You wish."

Dayus said angrily.

"I am only asking for one. But that has to be yours. You are a team of three, I am pretty sure you can handle the rest, if I leave you now."

"Why should it be mine?" Dayus asked suspiciously.

"Because, I didn’t like the condescending way you talked to me earlier. It has to be you. Otherwise there is no deal. Even your survival is in your hands.

After all, there is no rule against killing other players."

"Like hell, you would kill me. If you did that you would be isolated by the rest of them."

"Are you sure about that? Is it really me they are going to isolate? Or someone who teamed up with locals to fight with the fellow players."

As he spoke, Dayus started laughing as he looked in a certain direction.

Sam looked in that direction only to see some feathered coming over. He looked at Dayus and said.

"Do you think you are the only one who can amass numbers? I just didn’t want to use them with the fellow players."

With a wave of his hands the ghoul team and Wight team, all came out of the chessboard.

"This is only half of it. Do you want more?"

With another wave of hand Yanwu and the rest of the beasts came out.

"You seemed to have forgotten that I am the most resourceful guy here. Now be a good lad and give me that weapon fragment before things get out of hand. After all, I am sure that I won’t be able to hold back anymore. My patience is running thin."

Dayus felt conflicted but he couldn’t do anything for now. Even though the gravity pit problem is temporary and they will eventually figure out a way, Sam seemed like he nicked every corner of the temple in traps.

"You guys are three and you would only have two if I give you one. Why are not asking for two."

This is the only suspicion that the three people in the pit have in common.

"It is none of your business. Give me one and I will stay out of your way for the rest of the game, even if I want to join in and get another one, it wouldn’t be from you. Deal?"

Dayus was conflicted a bit, but he still nodded.

"Deal."

Dayus took his weapon fragment and threw it towards Sam who caught it and left the area with the ghouls and Wights back in the chessboard.

After Sam left, the gravity effect on the pit disappeared and the three of them came out.

"Let us go. We have to make sure we get two fragments."

Sam and his teammates just walked out of the battlefield and sat at the steps of the largest central temple, which is also the main temple.

This temple has a compound of itself inside the walls and it is highly likely that palace of inheritance might appear there.

While Sam is waiting the rest of the candidates fought with tooth and nail to get a weapon fragment for themselves.

Noah is still holding on to hers for now while Kumar and another person from the Herb garden are still trying their best to fight it out within themselves.

But the battle continued intensely.

The trio of Dayus, Agun, and Donner are met with some serious resistance as the rest of the candidates, whether they had a fragment are not extremely fond of their way of doing things.

This is not exactly a great thing after all.

The battle went on for days.

Akhil is going after the trio fearlessly. He seemed to have really held a grudge against Dayus. He is relentless in his attacks and didn’t hold back.

Every attack seemed to have been aiming for a kill.

While the situation is like this, time passed and the there were only fifteen days till the next Palace of inheritance.

All the candidates came to a consensus that they wouldn’t fight in the last week before the Palace of inheritance. Which means they only have a week for now.

While the situation is already tense, something else happened. A group of feathered led by King Silva just came out of the route from the Silva city.

Sam was completely surprised and alerted at the same time. While he is contemplating on what could the reason be, Queen Rata did the same and the rest of the routes soon followed.

Within the same day, all six kings or queens came along with a large group of feathered with them.

All the players stopped their battle as they felt a bit nervous. Even though they are strong and they might be able to take some Transcendent stage cultivators on if they really tried, this kind of lineup is too much for them.

They don’t know what to do.

Sam who has a relatively amicable relationship with King Silva looked at him in askance. King Silva gestured for Grace to move forward and explain the situation to him.

She flew towards Sam and whispered to him.

"We are here because someone unlocked the secrets of the temples here. We need to talk to that person. Is that you?"

"Secrets of the temples?"

"Yes, one of you unlocked the temples and according to my father, there should be a book under it. We need that book."

"Why do you need that?"

"Is it really you?" Her eyes brightened. At this moment, Arkiv came from the side and pulled her by her wing, and said.

"Why are you whispering to him so closely? You can talk normally."

"Is it a friendly exchange or a serious one?" Sam asked Grace.

"This is a friendly exchange. We are not here to threaten anyone. But we don’t want to be played either. I hope you can make the decision."

"I want to talk to your father privately. Only me and him." Sam replied after some thought.

"I will ask him."

She flew back and asked her father.

Who nodded and both of them walked into the Silva temple.
