Chapter 29 - Fight Continues
Sam was completely shaken by this attack , even though he was not heavily injured there was an additional palm print on the armor.
All the earth crystals that were in the sockets were completely used up and turned to powder.
He stood up again and used the energy from the golden sphere to mend the cracks that had appeared on the stone golem.
He inserted new earth crystals into the sockets and was ready for another round.
He didn't waste time and started skipping towards the ape again.
The ape was in no good situation either, after using the special technique the poison had already spread towards all its internal organs along with blood.
Black veins started appearing all over its body and it became much weaker.
But it still didn't run away, instead it started rushing towards the enemy with more madness in its eyes.
Sam didn't go for a direct attack , instead he used earth spikes to form a barricade before the rushing ape.
The ape destroyed the spikes with punches, but it was also slowed down .
The same time Sam appeared on its left side and slashed on the back of its left knee.
The joint's were the weakness of almost all animals and his attack was effective as the red aura has decreased significantly from earlier.
The strike went through and the apes left leg was crippled.
Another wild cry was heard.
Sam didn't care, he attacked without break and after many strikes he landed a critical strike on its head breaking the skull.
Without any pause he put the dead body into the ring and ran away.
After gaining some distance, he dug into the earth and closed it from the outside.
He didn't stop there either and used the one with earth technique .
Now even if an expert were to walk above him or use spiritual senses, they will not find any difference but just soil.
Just after Sam left the place he heard a loud rumble coming from the place where he fought , after some time the rumble passed by him but didn't notice him.
Sam didn't have the time to check what kind of animal it was , because he was too tired.
He just laid there without moving.
He was recalling the battle that he just had and pondered.
" I am strong but not strong enough for a head on fight.
I could take on one big red beast at a time in a head on fight.
I may be able to deal with three at a time using the sand storm technique along with the One with earth technique.
I am undetectable in the sand storm.
If I use one with earth technique inside the sand storm, I can sneak attack the animals.
Taking them out one by one is entirely possible, but it is energy consuming.
Probably after taking on three animals, I will be tired and will need a rest for at least 2 hours to recover energy.
Even if the number is more I can still escape.
The problem will be if I encounter a beast that can detect me when I am using one with the earth technique..…hmm...
Now I need to test my strength when I am using the Evil sword and Shackles of Maya... "
After about 5 hours he got out of the pit.
" It's time to continue the journey..."
Sam didn't have to wait long to test his full strength with all the equipment.
As he had entered another dangerous beasts territory.
This time it was a Python, It was as big as a truck and could swallow Sam entirely with one gulp.
But the fight was much simpler due to the presence of two super weapons.
Sam used an earth wall to block the first bite of the python.
Then the shackles of Maya transformed itself into gigantic chains which wound around the python restricting it.
while the Evil sword stabbed right through the snake's eye, but it was a mistake as the sword got stuck in the eye.
The special ability of the Python was its regeneration and increasing density of any part of its body instantly .
When the python used it's special power, the Evil sword was struck, unable to move forward.
But the Evil sword was not ordinary either, it felt like it's pride was attacked.
It started vibrating and went through all the obstructions as if they were oil papers.
After some time the python started struggling frantically, but soon the python's body started getting thinner and shriveled up.
It seemed like it's flesh and blood were sucked out.
When the sword came out of the body, a brown colored orb was attached to it.
The aura surrounding the sword had changed to red and black and it looked more like an evil sword now.
It stood before Sam and asked for the payment.
It didn't wait for any more pleasantries and disappeared into Sam's dantian to rest.
