Chapter 435: Lost Sight (2/2)
He didn't even throw it, he just dropped it as he dodged.
This time, the water didn't block it directly, maybe it only registered the energy cells as a danger that should be blocked like that, and moreover there are no spiritual energy waves coming from the grenade.
As the grenade dropped, it submerged a bit. Sam thought, there is a little possibility of it working.
After all, it's a bomb and even though it is air-tight and wouldn't allow the water to enter, he didn't think the methane could create a blast inside the water.
But the result actually surprised him. Because, as soon as the grenade exploded, the blast wasn't minimized by the water completely.
Not only that, for some weird reason, the gas didn't escape from the water and stayed under the top layer. Then only he noticed that the green complexion of water is due to some strange mixture which is not letting the gases travel from within.
This might be due to the fact that it wanted to kill the people who fell into the water with no supply of oxygen in it.
But this can be used for his benefit too.
The next moment, Sam reduced his altitude to a dangerously low level and he almost appeared to be surfing on the layer of the water.
The two nozzles under the harbinger opened and the methane was being pumped out and blue flames started to appear under the surface.
Sam noticed that the Ice figure is losing control over water because of the heat and at the same time, the methane is not escaping the top layer no matter how much he pumped in and how much it is burning.
This is something he didn't expect. He doesn't know what the other party used to make this water gross and smelly, but it is biting them back really bad.
Sam moved at his top speed leaving after images and this continued for more than half-an-hour. Then only the ice figure finally lost control of the water and was all alone and even the ice is not dim at all.
Sam finally used the energy cells to finish this off.
In this battle, Sam noticed something, the water in the whirlpool range is not completely connected to the remaining sea. There is a type of division within them. The Ice figure of the whirlpool can only control the water within this division. Even if he evaporated the water within and the void was refilled with the surrounding water, the ice figure couldn't control it anymore.
Sam rested for some time to go for the next place.
This time there are two ice figures. The increase in difficulty was done by an increase in numbers and the defense against the grenades was already prepared.
The ice figures are gathering data from the previous ones and are trying their best to counter all the possible threats.
This is a real pain in the ass.
But Sam fought tooth and nail and was able to overcome the next few whirlpools and by the end of the day, there is only one whirlpool left.
The whirlpool is the last one of this stage.
He didn't proceed immediately.
This is the third day of their journey and there are four days for the island to appear. Sam doesn't know if there are any other tests and whether or not the time would be sufficient.
The next day, Sam moved onto the next and the final whirlpool in this stage.
But as soon as he entered the whirlpool, Sam halted in his tracks, because his eyes went blind. That's right, he couldn't see anymore. With this all his senses are gone, his nose is being affected by the pungent smell, his ears are cut off and there is not much he can do with the sense of touch.
All that left with him was his sixth sense which could warn him of some dangers. But it is not entirely reliable as the opponent is too strong. He is lucky that he was able to dodge the opponents, with his harbinger and he used all his might to do so. If he couldn't see, the situation wouldn't be good.
Sam though hard and felt that he only has one choice, that uses the hologram projection to see but that will also reduce his time to deal with this, he has to deal with the whole thing as fast as he can, because, he wouldn't be able to last long in the state while he battled simultaneously.
