Chapter 81：Final showdown against Black Pond (2/2)
”Don't resist and allow my spiritual sense to scan you.” Jack nodded and closed his eyes. Sam waved his hand and Jack disappeared. When he reopened his eyes, all he can see is a big tower, surrounded by a world of different elements, he was completely dumbfounded.
Before he could come out of his surprise, Sam appeared out of thin air.
”Just stay here, for a while.” Sam only said and closed his eyes; he is looking at his room in which the ring is placed on the bed. He was able to cover all the directions within the room if he concentrated enough.
Inside the room, the ring with blue coloured stone which is embedded on a ring was placed on the bed.
Soon, a shadow mouse came and picked the ring and shoved its fore limb until the ring perfectly fixed itself on the shoulder, even though it was a bit difficult to move, the movement wasn't hindered significantly.
The shadow mouse then moved like a real shadow as it moved in the dark city. After a few minutes they reached the Black pond and they directly went to the manager's room. They didn't do anything as the shadow mouse just stayed there without moving.
Hours passed. They just stayed as they saw the manager sat in meditation.
When sun rose, the manager also opened his eyes and started walking out of the room. On the way outside all the shadow mice gathered as they moved in shadows while following the manager who is walking in streets.
Soon, they arrived at the restaurant where Sam placed the mission to capture the poisonous beasts.
When the manager arrived at the room, there are already people waiting. There are five people waiting.
One of them moved towards a painting and moved it. A secret door opened on the floor leading them to the under-ground room.
When Sam saw the room, he was completely astonished. The room was like a small-scale auditorium. A lot of people are sitting in ten rows. In a stage upfront, there is a small round table with five chairs. Everyone stood up as soon as the manager came.
Sam looked at the stone like walls all around. All the materials surrounding the room including the door are highly durable. They are made of a peak level 3 materials. Even a rank 3 Artisan will be in a deep trouble to melt a small amount of this material. Even the Great mage needs some effort to break through them.
He immediately got an idea and ordered shadow mouse 1 to go outside the room. When they made sure that there are no people in the room, Sam told to Jack.
”You stay here and make sure that there is no one who escapes the room. When they come out, they will be almost out of energy, so strike them with all you got.” After that he even left Yanwu and Sky outside, both the birds are in their small forms.
Shadow mouse immediately went inside the underground room. Even though there is no gap, the small shadow connecting the outside and inside is enough for them to move.
When the meeting was starting, Sam observed the surroundings and gave the shadow mice instructions.
”Spread out through the room, you guys cover all the corners and possible exits, the rest of you will enter the crowd. Release the grenades, just like you practised. You have to throw all of them as fast as you can and immediately escape. You can either come into the shadow dimension or escape outside and go back to the mansion.
Remember to release as many grenades as possible on the stage. The most powerful cultivators are there, we need to take them down at any cost. But remember one thing, if you sense that you can't do it at any moment immediately escape without a second thought.” After Sam's message was passed among the mice, they started moving and spread among all over floor.
After a few minutes, when the discussion was going on and all the people are completely focussed, there was an explosion at the back of the room and green vapours started spreading among the room.
Before the people in the room can react, a series of explosions occurred all over the room and the most happened at the stage itself.
The manager only saw a small shadow disappearing in middle of the green vapour, before he felt suffocated and took deep breaths, but immediately he realised what kind of mistake he did.
The poison soon mixed with his blood stream and spiritual core. He immediately closed his eyes and used all his spiritual energy to suppress the poison.
The weakest Novices are already on the floor, with their skin turned green. Some stronger people are suffering on verge of collapsing. The peak stage novices who are on the stage along with the Manager are already kneeling as they fought with all their might to suppress the poison. But the more they tried the more they are suffering.
They are unable to use any spells or attacks as they were caught off-guard by the poison. Before they came to their senses they were completely vulnerable now.
All their prowess and cultivation were useless because they were caught off-guard and they were even being dealt with poison.
Just as the green vapour was being dissipated a bit, a black figure emerged in the room out of nowhere.
Sam walked towards them. The green vapour around him was being rotated around him not allowing the poisonous gas to be inhaled by him.
He is using his wind element to keep himself safe, but that is also not a long term solution.
The manager looked at the black figure, with surprise shock all over the face. Never did he expect that he was being dealt with by a Novice, who is still a kid in his teens.
His expression was completely full of unwillingness.
Sam took out another batch of grenades and threw them directly at the group of people who are still on the stage. Even though they wanted to go out through the door, they weren't able to do so, because of the poison.
After all, the poison is concocted by using ten types of most poisonous level 2 beasts. And the quantity isn't any small amount. He used ten beasts of each type and collected the venom without wasting the single drop. He even used the spirit wine to make it more volatile and merge with the spiritual energy properly to increase its effects.
Even the Great mage is being restrained completely, without much prowess left. Due to it being merged with the spiritual energy, the poison is easily mixing with the spiritual energy and the blood stream, causing the immediate effect.
Sam still stood at the edge of the room and took out some normal swords which have some formations inscribed on their handles.
He took them and pierced them around him one by one and soon five formations are activated around him.
He placed more than thousand spirit stones in the formations and took out the golden crescent.
After his actions were completed, first thing he did was to throw away all the remaining grenades towards the stage. With a series of small explosions, the top five experts inside the room are being in a complete disadvantageous position.
The poison started affecting the skin and it is slowly turning green.
Sam took out three arrows, which are in golden colour. He made these arrows with the remaining fire bronze and the Golden alloy he made. There are more than ten inscriptions on each arrow.
He nocked them all on the bow string of the golden crescent as he started gathering all the spiritual energy that has been directed towards him from the five formations.
He spread all his spiritual energy leaving only miniscule amount and manipulated all the energy around him to the arrows.
Soon, the arrows were surrounded by a huge golden flame.
The manager looked at the Golden flames and knew he would be no match for the attack in his current state. But he wanted to at least take the opponent down with him.
He looked around and saw that all his companions are on the ground frothing from their mouths. He gritted his teeth and concentrated his spiritual energy. He used up all his remaining energy and started concentrating on his attack.
Sam watched the scene and immediately released his arrow. The arrows contacted the manager and he was burning in the golden flames. But before he could die, he released his attack. A huge boulder immediately came out of the ground and flew towards Sam.
Sam clearly have no energy to dodge. He immediately turned around and spread his remaining energy to the feather coat, which immediately turned golden colour.
Sam immediately flew over the with the impact as the boulder smashed into pieces when it hit the wall along with him.
Sam spurted a mouthful of blood as he laid dropped on the floor. Before he lost the consciousness, he felt Yanwu screaming his name and door opening. He felt that Sky dragged him and taking him out of the room before closing it again.
