Chapter 981: Possession (1/2)

Sam's undead which dodged the undead creatures of Tamas and let them pass through, even though he looked like he was at a disadvantage, didn't go towards Tamas as expected.

Because they focused on the dead bodies on Tamas'side. They threw the smaller bodies towards Sam and the larger bodies were being destroyed by them. Tamas was baffled for a second before he came out of that shock.

Sam didn't go after the necromancer directly, instead, he focused on the one thing the necromancer cannot afford to lose no matter what. The source of the undead.

Tamas immediately made a move, he created the shadow undead out of the bodies that are on verge of collapse from Sam's undead to preserve something. And then made these shadow undead to kill Sam's undead.

By now the original undead that he sent out almost reached Sam. Tamas didn't take the same approach as Sam to destroy the dead bodies since his undead already reached the main target. But before the undead could even attack Sam, four shadows came out of Sam's shadow and severed the legs of this undead.

The first goal is to make them unable to move and then they focused on the hands which could also be used as support to move and then the head.

The sudden appearance of the shadows surprised everyone as no one noticed when he performed that.

Now Tamas realized why Sam delayed in the start.

It is because he was extracting shadows from the four undead creatures he made before converting the dead bodies into normal undead.

That is why he looked like he was late in creating undead and slow in his actions.

But he was just being discreet.

Now Sam already gained the upper hand. But that was just the initial move. Both of them knew that the real battle is just starting now and death energy started emerging from their body. Sam's vampire bloodline was not suppressed anymore and his skin became paler than ever.

The blood-red hue on his hair, the increased length of his nails which turned to claws, and the canine teeth turning into fangs.

The team was stunned to see this change, but Tamas was amused and the smile on his face is the biggest indication of how excited he was to see this change in Sam.

His body also started changing and it is very similar to Sam's, but his hair completely turned red, unlike Sam whose hair only turned slightly red with hue.

Both of them covered all the corpses within their range with the death energy as started creating undead.

On Tamas's side the first thing that rose from that curtain of death energy are the shadow undead and then the normal undead as for the soul undead, they turned into flashes and disappeared into the air.

He might have set them for the traps.

But on Sam's side, things are a bit different. Sam's curtain is much denser than that tamas' and it is also completely blocking any vision or spiritual sense to penetrate it. And when the curtain cleared all they could see are the normal undead that started running towards Tamas and his undead.

Tamas has the edge on number from the looks, but Sam has an advantage in tactics. His undead didn't charge randomly, they charged in a battle formation.

Even though other elements are not allowed in the battle, arranging the undead in an efficient way to battle is not exactly out of bounds.

He didn't go on the full offensive and focused more on blocking the undead creatures of Tamas.

Tamas used this chance to let the shadow undead clash with the normal undead. The advantage of the shadow undead is that the shadow undead can survive and revive as long as the connection between the necromancer and the undead is not severed and the necromancer has enough energy.

But normal undead would be useless once their physical bodies are destroyed to a certain extent.

So in a clash between the normal undead and the shadow undead, the latter with be able to win.

The physical undead moved past them and charged towards Sam.

Tamas is half expecting the shadow undead to emerge from Sam's shadow once again and block the undead, but to his surprise, Sam started dodging. The undead is slow compared to him even if he didn't use any form of elemental energy or technique.

He didn't attack them or defend them. But just dodged using the surroundings to his advantage.

Tamas and Sam's team were surprised as they couldn't understand where the shadow undead is doing.

As all the focus was placed on Sam and Tamas was trying hard to make sense of the situation, he suddenly felt a jolt in his soul.
