Chapter 823: Counter (2/2)

The golden light's time is about to stop, then Sam could surely catch up at this rate and she also noticed that Sam's attacks are only increasing in intensity and threat level as he slowly recovered from the injuries.

The pursuit continued and Sam went on killing. He killed a dozen of these people and the captain has half a mind to stop the pursuit and engage with him in close combat.

In this long-range, they could only live if they only focused on dodging in one place, running away is not really a great choice in this situation.

They did halt in their tracks and Sam sped up on Sky.

He saw much Feathered moving through the forest, they are injured feathered in the earlier battle, they are moving by foot.

Sam's arrows didn't stop instead, he started using different varieties. He took out a poison vial arrow. When he shot it from a certain distance, it reached the target and the arrow exploded leaving the smoking purple poison gas.

There is a pin arrow that has a small pin grenade as its arrowhead.

He shot every arrow precisely and dropped a person. Even if they dodged it, they are not going to be off the hook without any damage.

The captain felt like the danger is increasing, particularly when she got a clearer look at Sam who is actually recovering faster than he thought.

She gave the instructions to the group and they decreased their altitude they are now moving in the middle of the dense vegetation of the forest.

Sam used energy vision to keep track of them and still sped up on Sky as he shot arrows from above.

The captain is a bit shocked by this. Sam is not stopping and now he almost caught up to them, she would be in deep trouble if he really caught her now. She is injured after all. She is not even sure that she would win when she is in her top form, much less now.

She grits her teeth and stopped in her tracks. She deflected the arrow that came at her with the spear. The group also halted in their tracks and stood around her trying to defend against the tricky arrows that are torturing them to no end.

The captain looked at her deputy and said.

”You guys disperse. Being together is making us a bigger target.”

”But captain, you cannot win against him at this rate. At least, earlier he held back now he is pissed off, we should have left them alone after that, but it is too late to regret anyway, just let us go in the group.”

”No, you guys disperse, I will use the golden feather and escape.”

The deputy became silent for a second and spoke up.

”It is too valuable and you cannot carry this guy with you when you use the golden feather. You would take too much damage. How about you leave him here? We would be able to escape easily. He would stop and take care of him. This is our territory, we are going to win anyway.”

”No, you shouldn't do that. We were ordered to capture both of them. We have to take at least one of them back.”

”But..”

”No more discussion, he is coming. Let's leave. It is an order.”

The deputy grit his teeth and ordered his subordinates to disperse while the captain took out a golden feather. She gulped nervously and held Arkiv tightly.

Sam who is almost near them stopped shooting the arrows he is only a few yards away from them.

When he noticed the argument and the soldiers are ready to disperse, and also the actions of the Captain, he became a bit anxious, he stepped into the air and activated full light elemental fusion. He took out his two swords and shot like a golden light ray towards the group.

When they saw this sudden change, the group dispersed into random directions, Sam landed right in front of the captain, who is enveloped with a bright golden light and levitated along with Arkiv. She turned around and was about to escape, at this exact moment, Sam spun on his heel with the two swords created large light blades curving through the forest.

The light blades cut through the feathered and even left a slash on the captain, but she still managed to disappear from the spot.

Sam panted heavily as he stopped in frustration, but the light blades didn't. They cut through the whole group and left them on the ground and they continued as they cut the trees down in their path like cutting through the butter.

Sam frustratingly kicked the ground and is full of anger. She escaped with Arkiv.

He looked into the horizon where she left and turned his attention to the group that is moving by foot.

When he wanted to move, he saw something on the ground. It is half a white wing of the feathered.

He slashed his blade covered in golden flame and ran towards the group of injured feathered.
