Chapter 576: Self-Harming (1/2)

Sam felt conflicted about using this Idea. He was sure that he is no match even if the King vs King battle happened.

He would have to suffer a lot. Is it worth it? That is what gnawing his mind.

After some thought, he gritted his teeth and hardened his heart. If that is what it takes to get a victory of the greatest commander, then so be it.

He moved his rook to battle with the king. He stood at the edge of the stage and completed the light element fusion. The golden looked extremely majestic. But Kartikeya still didn't make his move. He is keen to see what Sam could do.

Sam suddenly made a move, his body slowly started turning green. At least there is an extremely faint hue within the golden glow. Any ordinary person would have missed it.

Sam directly turned into a beam of light as he dashed into Kartikeya. For a second even he couldn't clearly see what is happening and dodged. But the light beam didn't cross the stage and launch to the void.

It halted at the edge and once again shot back at an incredible speed.

But this time, the green hue is brighter.

The scene repeated itself and the golden light is turning into a green one and the light beam turned faster and faster.

Just when Kartikeya thought he got the rhythm of the movement and speed, both will change making him miss the target.

As he watched the golden light almost completely turned green and there is barely any golden hue and now Sam's body didn't even touch the ground.

He is almost floating in the air.

This is his laser form. Sam never used this before, because it is not yet completed and the second reason, it brought him more harm than good. He can kill his opponent in many ways, even though this way the rate of success is high, he would be destroying his own body. He looked at his own health bars and Sam couldn't help but sigh at the rate of decrease it is suffering.

He concentrated all the remaining energy within himself and drained himself dry.

It is about time for one final attack.

Sam disappeared from his spot leaving a green line behind as he zoomed to the heart of Kartikeya.

Kartikeya frowned and became vigilant. He felt like he would die the moment he became careless.

He wanted to use some defensive technique but the time was not enough. He could only use his arms to block.

The arm guards on the arms had a hole in them and the two arms are cut bone-deep. Kartikeya used his all to defend the arms with his spiritual energy but still took this much damage.

He fell back and endured the pain as he looked at Sam's body was deactivated of the elemental fusion and just laid on the floor. Sam spat out blood like crazy and looked at his opponent who stood up carefully.

He reduced Kartikeya's health by four bars. This is better than he expected and this time, the damage is a lot more than just health bars, he would like to see how Kartikeya would use his spear.

With a smirk on his face, he lost his breath. He died.

Sam reappeared on his seat. His body shivered and palpitated. He is covered in a cold sweat and has a huge thirst for oxygen as he gasped for breath.

The whole room was filled with his gasps. Sam felt the most pain he ever endured in his life. This is the reason he thought, this is a bad idea. Kartikeya pitied Sam as he looked at his struggle. He has half a mind to stop the game right here.

But Sam didn't give up. He took a huge gulp of wine and tried his best to come back to his senses.

After fifteen minutes, Sam was finally back in the game. Kartikeya's move was done, one step from the king, but he made it sure that Sam's Knight can attempt to take the king's life.

But this time, Kartikeya is extremely vigilant and didn't let Sam made the first move. His hands are already but, at least the veins are not severed so that he didn't bleed to death.
