Chapter 919: Clash (2/2)

He didn't receive too much damage but that doesn't mean he didn't receive any at all.

The more surprising thing is they managed to catch him even in his partial fusion form.

Before he could come back to himself, the nine opponents are back to their original position.

Sam did a slow rotation on the same spot to take a look at all of them, they are all keenly looking at him without batting their eyes and when Sam suddenly lunged towards an opponent, the opponent didn't dodge this time, he directly launched a jet of golden flames at Sam which the latter blocked with a swing of his sword.

But before he could land that sword blade on the target, the remaining eight managed to lock him down and threw their attacks.

This is a pretty annoying formation he must say. The nine opponents are good at aiming their ranged attacks and have perfect timing.

Even at his speed they managed to predict and lock his position at a certain time and attacked at the same time. If they attacked individually he might even be able to take it without so much as  flinch, the combined attack is making him feel the heat.

The same thing happened for a few more times and Sam barely managed to land some slashes on the torso's of the opponents.

But he noticed that he is wasting his energy to defend against the constant attacks and knew that speed is not the answer for them, he might be able to win the fight eventually, but he would be in no condition to fight against the leader.

So, he changed his strategy.

When he lunged towards a target this time, he suddenly deactivated the partial light elemental fusion in the middle and the speed disappeared, he turned back into his normal speed which made the opponents to miss their target and before they managed to prepare for the next attack Sam disappeared into the shadow and reappeared right before the target in front of him. He is just an inch away from him as both of them looked into each other's eyes.

Sam stabbed the two swords into the opponents bodies from the rear and he locked the body in place before turning around along with it.

The rest of the opponents threw an attack at him, but he stepped back as much as he can and let the dead body take the attacks for him.

When the body started burning he made the undead out of it and let it loose in the middle of the formation.

That is the beauty of the Solar fragment's body. Even the dead body can endure a bit of heat, if it was an ordinary dead body, then it would have already been turned to ashes and even the bones would have been gone.

Once the formation broke, Sam let himself loose. He used partial shadow elemental fusion and disappeared in a puff of black smoke before reappearing near the one guy who is dealing with the crazy undead that was coming at him.

He slashed his swords. One of them missed and the other slashed the hand off of the target.

He landed and disappeared from the spot once again, before reappearing out of the formation.

The opponents became angry and they also activated their elemental fusions. Unlike Sam, they went with full fusion and all of them turned into mass of golden flames.

The eight streaks of golden flames and black shadow clashed repeatedly in the spot and Sam was on the back foot once again.

Even in his shadow form they are catching on to him and the golden flames are slowly accumulating damage on his body.

Before he could decide to change his form and fight in a different way, he was caught by one of them with a direct attack and fell on the floor and before he could disappear, they surrounded him and used their full strength to incinerate him with golden flames.

Sam bathed in golden flames as they washed him down completely from all sides, he couldn't see anything except for those flames.

The incineration went on for a few minutes straight and when it was gone, they thought they would see a corpse of Sam, but instead they saw a mass of golden flames, leisurely laying on the ground.

”I wanted to save this form for the last. But you guys are good.”

Sam also activated full fire elemental fusion and he also turned into a streak of golden flames. Now the eight streaks are clashing with one.

This became like nasty melee combat and Sam started using void style and the first punch landed on the target already confirmed to the opponents that they are in trouble.
