Chapter 329: Sanjay Vs Sam II (1/2)
Sam and Sanjay both stared at each other dead in the eyes. The atmosphere is tense. Both of them didn't make the first move. The flood dragon moved back to one end of the battleground as it spectated the battle, completely ready to enter the battle at any moment.
Sanjay noticed that Sam is extremely calm as the time passed, he seemed to have become calmer and have no intention of making any move, at the end, he got impatient and made the first move.
The Chain sickle whistled as the blade cut through the air and made its way towards Sam.
Sam is already wearing his claws. He didn't move from his position as he moved his left hand.
*Clank* The nail of the index finger clashed with the chain sickle as he diverted the trajectory of it.
The attack is too direct and too simple. Without any power behind it. It is just a symbolic attack signifying the start of the fight.
The next second, Sam made his move. He didn't use elemental fusion directly; it would take too much of his energy.
He used Phantom steps as he moved like a flash.
But as soon as he took two steps, the chain sickle whistled through the air, as it halted his movement in that direction, he forcefully kicked the ground as he changed his direction of movement.
But the sickle followed his motion and halted his advance.
The Chain sickle might be versatile, but it is one of the hardest weapons to control, but Sanjay showed utmost control as he maintained the speed of the sickle and its motion at maximum.
Even though there is quite a distance between two of them, it didn't take long to complete a whole circle with the chain sickle as Sanjay halted Sam's advance.
With his current speed, Sam couldn't find the opening, even after using the phantom step.
Although he wasn't able to advance, Sanjay also didn't get any upper-hand in this situation.
Sam is easily blocking the attacks.
After more than ten exchanges, Sam suddenly made a move and this time, when Chain sickle was about to hit his shoulder from upwards, he dashed forward extremely close to the chain, this move is not much suitable, because, in this way, Sam's back would be wide open for the sickle and when Sanjay pulled the chain back, the sickle could be impaled into Sam's back.
Sanjay did exactly that. But Sam does have a remedy to this situation. He created a small air pocket in his arm and blasted it on the chain.
The chain shook a bit and the trajectory was altered a bit, as Sanjay was about to control it, Sam condensed wind elemental energy in his hands as he swung it in Sanjay's direction. The Wind blades condensed into a claw as they moved in conjunction, towards Sanjay.
Sanjay only has two options, one is to dodge and another one is to block. If he chose to dodge, he would lose his core position from where he could keep the situation under control and if he chose to block, he would lose control of the chain for a moment and Sam would cover the distance.
Sam is ready to take advantage of both situations and Sanjay chose the latter, he extended his hand and a thick ice wall was conjured in front of him.
Sam didn't waste his chance as he hit the chain away with his claws and the sickle fell completely away from him, although the chain is still in Sanjay's hands, it is still off control now.
Sam dived in further and tried to close in the distance.
The Wind claw sliced through the ice block and it was cut into pieces before losing its lethality. As Sam closed in taking the advantage of Sanjay's lapse in concentration, the ice block fell down and suddenly three ice lances made their way towards Sam.
Sam is a bit surprised, but not to the point he lost his composure.
He kicked the ground as leaped upwards and cannonballed towards Sanjay, dodging two lances, just as he was about past the third one, a sickled flew out of nowhere and hit the lance changing its direction upwards.
The lance came straight towards Sam from the bottom. This time, he is really surprised. As the lance made its way towards him, he came back to his sense for the immediate threat and rolled in the air as he extended his leg.
The foot of the leg was covered with concentrated spiritual energy as it created a wind blade, which sliced through the ice lance.
But Sam didn't reach his destination and landed early, by this time, the chain sickle already made its way towards him, which he has to block.
