Chapter 767: Collecting Info (2/2)
That night the battle is more intense than ever and when Sam saw the bodies that are piling up, he had another idea.
In the middle of the chaotic battle, Sam let the specter out. Specters are simply put souls that became ghosts, they have an innate ability to become invisible and the Specter Sam had is of a higher grade with all the soul energy he fed.
He sent the specter in the battle field stealthily, if the specter used its energy in large scale and made large movements, some soldiers too much of accurate senses and instincts can feel something is off.
The Specter went to the nearest elven corpse of the Centaur that was killed just now and entered the dead body.
The specters have a way to possess the bodies, but the dead bodies are not that useful, it can only possess it for a small while until the last remaining bit of vitality was completely gone.
But that is enough for the specter.
It performed the soul necromancy on the dead body from within to perform the soul search all by itself.
But the energy fluctuations couldn't escape the surrounding soldiers.
Within the surrounding ten feet every creature stopped and looked at the centaur body.
Both the parties halted their attacks within the ten-foot radius and stared at the corpse that was surrounded with the death energy. They didn't know what is happening and they don't know how to react.
Both parties exchanged glances and understood they are as surprised as others. The death energy is riling up and at this moment, they two parties wanted to poke the corpse.
Sam is watching it through the telescope and with added energy vision and his experience with the soul necromancy he could guess the time.
At this moment, Sam made another move, he took out a four-eyed raven and attached a small grenade to its feet.
The raven flew to the sea like a jet of black streak which is invisible in the night and dropped the grenade in the sea. It made its return as fast as it can.
*BOOM*
*SPLASH*
The explosion happened with a jet of water splashing all over and the sea creatures looked surprised.
The distraction worked as the people who surrounded the centaur corpse also left the corpse alone and looked at the sea.
The specter took advantage of the situation and escaped.
For some reason due to the sudden explosion the sea creatures gave signals and started retreating earlier.
The soldiers didn't follow up with the attack and instead looked at the centaur that is dead and tried to examine the differences that happened. They are also curious about what happened in the sea, but they didn't care as much as they cared about the centaur's body.
But after constant examination they couldn't find anything. It is just a normal dead body.
There is nothing they could see and they just buried them normally thanking whatever anomaly that happened in the sea has saved them the deaths that could have happened through the night.
They had an extremely rare and almost impossible-to-have free night and all they did was have bonfires by the beach and enjoy the moon and wine as they heaved a sigh of exhaustion and fatigue.
Meanwhile, Sam who is on top of the cliff laying down and looking at the same moon is going through the memories the specter has brought with him.
There is a lot of information that Sam is stunned for minutes without any reaction.
The war is more intriguing and exciting than he thought and he could find great many opportunities just from the information he had in his hands, but he also has to find a way to get the information from the other side, the sea before deciding.
