Chapter 495: Fiasco started (1/2)
As Sam's focus was shifted towards the second mage and he was about to make his move, the stage was molded once again and a large stone section of the stage came up and blocked Sam's path forward and at the same time, the stone section under Sam's feet also moved to throw him off the balance.
Sam tripped and then the warrior mages who are on the other side of the stage are already here and one of them hit Sam from the back.
Sam couldn't block it and took a square hit straight on his back and fell forward.
But the stage section once again attacked him from the bottom.
This time, there are large spikes below him.
Sam slammed the staff and the stage cracked a bit. It slightly penetrated inside and Sam held the staff to support him and leaped upwards.
He spun the staff and swung it towards the mage from mid-air. A concentrated lightning bolt zoomed towards him and hit directly on his head.
Even though, the earth element resistant to lightning, it is not to the extent of complete immunity.
If they have full fusion, then they might be able to have that type of immunity that too only if the lightning attacks are of the same level as them, much less these people will partial fusion.
Sam didn't land straight on the stage. Just before he was about to hit the stage, he would slam the staff of the stage and use the momentum to propel himself again.
He noticed that the moment he hit the stage with the staff, there is a brief moment of loss of control of the opponent who is controlling the stage.
Now, Sam is jumping around with lightning circulating around him as he wreaked havoc all over the stage.
The two warrior mages and one hidden mage are all trying their best to defend themselves over this.
Sam is also having a hard time finishing them off in a single blow.
The stage was being used to provide defense for both the warrior mages and Sam could barely create any form of damage.
As the fruitless clashes went on for another three minutes, Sam lost patience. He activated his eye technique to see the energy flow on the stage and find out the approximate location of the hidden guy.
If he is taken care of, everything would be easy to clear. And due to his constant movement, Sam took two minutes to estimate an approximate location. The opponent doesn't know that Sam is looking for him, so he is still a bit carefree.
Sam took the support of the next stage section that protruded upwards to block him and jumped extremely high up in the air.
The audience who are watching the whole scene with an extremely intense focus looked at Sam who jumped for more than twenty feet straight up and saw him land in a different location.
But Sam didn't land directly, instead, he stabbed the shaft directly into the ground and landed on the tip of the shaft with one foot.
Everyone was dumbfounded by this stunt and before they could make sense of it, they saw Sam injecting large amounts of lightning elemental energy into the stage through the shaft.
The shaft is like a pillar of lightning. What everyone couldn't see is that the opponent hidden inside the stage was paralyzed by the electric shock.
Even though his earth elemental fusion is great, Sam's lightning is extremely potent.
Only after a few seconds did the audience understood that the stage stopped moving and even the blockades over the two warrior mages are frozen in place. Then only they related the attack to the hidden fifth opponent.
Sam looked down once more and the next move was so showy that it was like a circus performance.
He jumped upwards once more from the top of the staff and backflipped in the air.
As he did the action, his right leg was completely covered with lightning and his pant was burned exposing his skin.
The experts in the scene can even see the muscle fibers and veins completely injected with lightning spiritual energy and they could also see that the energy is so compact that the muscles would be torn apart if a normal nascent stage middle-level cultivator did that.
Sam slammed his leg on the top of the staff and nailed it down into the stage.
*BOOM*
This time, the flash of lightning is different. The staff penetrated right into the stage as the lightning from the leg quickly passed through it and entered the depths of the stage.
The hidden opponent took the full brunt of the attack and it would be hard for him to live even with the stage's full defense.
The whole stage was infested with silver lightning and turned into rubble.
Even the two warrior mages shook and fell into the rubble like little kids stuck in an earthquake.
When the flash of lightning and the dust disappeared.
Sam could be seen standing on the rubble and beside him, the staff is still standing straight with some residual electric arcs around it.
Beneath the staff, there is a human body that is barely breathing and charred black. His skin cracked all over and blood is seeping out. His hair was completely burned.
