Chapter 573: Chess II (1/2)

Before Sam could disappear from the stage, he checked the health and noticed that one of the five bars was empty. The soldiers are not bad. They can even be called geniuses even in the Naga Loka.

Sam didn't feel much surprised and exited the battlespace and reappeared in the chair. He once again moved the pawn forward and this time, the pawn in the diagonal direction of the queen.

He was ready to get taken out by the Queen, but to his surprise, Kartikeya didn't make that move and used another pawn to move forward.

It is not completely unexpected though. After all, the queen is bound to win, so there is little point in making that move. But Sam was ecstatic because his pawn can either challenge the queen or the Knight.

The queen is a Level-5 Nascent, so there is no way he could deal with that, but the Knight is a Level-3. This is not the first time, Sam fought a person who is two levels higher than him. In fact, when he entered the Nascent stage, he was constantly challenging the higher levels and in his Level-6, he can even fight with the Peak Nascent stage cultivators.

So, there is a chance that he could take out the knight, but since these are troops of the Kartikeya himself, he might not be able to kill the knight, but he would definitely make some serious damage.

Sam moved the pawn diagonally towards the Knight.

He once again reappeared on the battlefield with the Black stage.

In front of him was a person holding a broad sword and is sitting on a horse-type beast.

Sam looked at the health bars and noticed that the fifteen is not from the person alone, it is from both mount and the person combined.

The person has ten health bars and the mount has five. The battle is between the combo and Sam.

Sam didn't care much though. He noticed that the knight sculpture did have a horse and just thought it was symbolic because even his knights have the same.

He made his move without any wait as he took out a staff. The only thing limiting is the cultivation, the rest of them are fair game.

He used the light element fusion and started running towards the knight who is on the horse as he threw the light blades.

The knight also rode the horse towards him with his broadsword. The sword was glowing with sharp light as he blocked the light blades, but Sam didn't worry, when he was close enough, the staff and the sword clashed and Sam was slammed into the ground because of the force. One of his health bars dropped immediately, but he didn't feel disappointed, he leveraged this force and swung the staff horizontally.

The edge of the staff glowed with sharp golden light and it slicked the underbelly of the horse.

The internal organs spilled out with a lot of blood and the horse crashed to the ground throwing the knight forward.

The horse has only one health bar left and it is also being slowly chipped away.

The Knight's power is definitely beyond Sam, but that doesn't mean Sam has no fight left against him.

Taking the opportunity of the Knight's imbalance, Sam didn't wait for a single second to throw the staff filled with a light element like a Javelin and ran after it like a golden flash.

The Knight saw the staff coming towards him and steadied himself before blocking it with his sword, a large sword image formed as he slashed towards the staff, he didn't slash it on the tip, rather on the side surface of the staff, deflecting the staff, but the light surrounding the staff is not for show, it left a deep gash on the hand of the Knight.

The arm guard was torn apart and the hand started bleeding.

But his health didn't decrease by much. Only one-fifth of one health bar was reduced. The arm guard took most of the damage and the skin gash was superficial.

The knight who just evaded the attack saw a golden flash right in front of him, as he was ready to wield the sword, Sam kicked the ground and jumped up as he stomped on the face of that guy before leaping forward, the corinthian helmet also covered the nose of this guy, but it didn't stop him from breaking the nose and there is also a gash on the face.

Sam caught the staff that was still flying forward and was almost on the edge of the stage and turned around as he swung the staff once again to attack. The knight didn't have any shield on his hand and could only block the attack with the sword or his hand. But Sam is too fast not giving him a chance to use the sword.

So, he blocked it with the injured hand and the wound opened up even more and the bleeding increased.

Sam didn't stop, he took the chance to hit the Knight as much as he can, his super speed is his only advantage here, but his energy is being drained and when he saw his health bar, he noticed another health bar was gone due to exhaustion.
