As Sam started shooting at everyone while they are still making their way to him, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis from behind. He titled his board making the thrusters below the board face backward and an air cannon was launched.
He used the recoil to move away from his spot and the large air cannon hit something.
Sam hovered a distance away looked at the thing that appeared out of thin air. It is a large throwing star. And it was invisible. If Sam was even a little bit lax, he would have been cut into two by that star. It was that large. Large enough to cut a person into two.
Apart from the star, there is also another person who appeared from the invisibility. He is a man in the black cloak.
He is part of the Black Ghost team that attacked them.
The man disappeared once again. Sam just smiled and activated energy vision. Even though in this chaotic battle the energy is running rampant, with his level of control, identifying this man is a piece of cake.
As he looked forward, he could see a mass of energy spinning sharply and making its way towards him, it is definitely the thrown star.
Sam aimed his guns at it and shot.
The two shots connected and the throwing start was stuck in two space cracks hanging in mid-air.
Sam then aimed at the man who was about to throw another star and shot four times, before turning around and aiming at the puppet that almost reached him.
He shot the puppet three times making it collapse instantly and aimed at the nearest puppet organization member.
After killing him with a headshot, he turned around and harbinger zoomed through the air and barely escaped another projectile attack from the invisible young man. The projectile attack lodged into the nearest golem dealing energy for Sam.
Sam tapped on the side of the guns and started shooting once again and this time after reaching a certain distance the bullets exploded creating faint spatial cracks which are extremely mild. Unless some extra force widened it or a strong impact happened, the crack wouldn’t be dangerous and there is a high chance of escaping too.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
The black ghost member who is still invisible was stunned as Sam shot continuously. He is shooting the opponents that are nearing him and also blindly towards his direction.
Looking at this the black ghost member finally heaved a sigh of relief. Because he thought that Sam could see him as he managed to dodge two throwing stars and also shot at him twice. Even though he dodge, he felt like his advantage of being invisible and able to avoid the spiritual sense would be lost.
But to his relief, Sam shot blindly at different spots. Even though it is within his range and these new bullets felt like traps, he still felt relieved. As long as he didn’t trigger traps, he could still hold his advantage.
Sam continued with his shooting. Soon many dead bodies covered him along with the fragments on golems and puppets with a bunch of space cracks opening hear and there. Anyone who wants to approach him now should be careful.
While Sam was unscathed, it didn’t mean he was exhausted. In fact, he didn’t feel this tired in a while. He took out the gourd and took a huge swig of the heavenly wine. He felt refreshed and continued with the shooting and he started moving in a specific direction.
It is the same direction Sam has been shooting all this while creating a lot of faint spatial cracks. The attacks followed him in that direction as they didn’t care too much about the cracks.
The cracks are only especially dense in one small area, the rest of the area is open and the cracks are spread here and there, if they controlled themselves, they would be able to easily reach Sam without worrying about the cracks.
Looking at Sam’s tired face, the invisible black ghost member slowly moved forward. After five minutes, Sam finally smiled and stopped shooting. He took out a mini-liquid energy cell of spatial elements and looked in a specific direction.
The invisible black ghost members met Sam’s eyes and he was terrified. He had a bad feeling about this and he hurriedly wanted to change his position. But currently, he is in the middle of all smaller spatial cracks which would be activated if he made rash movements and he would be easily targeted by Sam.
He wanted to move slowly and carefully. But before he could move away like that, Sam threw that mini-liquid energy cell into the middle of all these cracks and he shot a bullet at it before it even landed.
And before the bullet could even hit, Sam’s body was covered with spatial elemental energy and he disappeared along with the harbinger and reappeared a hundred meters away.
*BOOM*
A small explosion occurred at this moment, but the explosion is not attracted everyone’s attention.
As the explosion occurred the surrounding faint space cracks started expanding rapidly as if a fabric is being torn widely from a small tear.
All the space cracks started expanding and some even merged together to create a larger crack.
All the troops that followed Sam to deal with were stuck in the middle of these expansions and they desperately tried to run away.
But not all of them succeeded and even the few that succeeded lost a limb or two.
Sam smiled at this and started shooting near the edges of the space crack as he expanded it towards the main battlefield. Looking at this the opponents frowned and felt a sense of trepidation.
If Sam really dragged the space crack until here, there would be severe casualties.
They are already having a hard time as it is with Sam’s team. They already had severe losses.
Sam looked at his teammates and frowned. The Night Ghost who is strongest is still okay as he dealt with the branch leader. The battle is tied at most and even Night ghost had a faint upper hand.
Paras, Vidyut, Saber Monarch, and Five elemental King are also clearly dominating the field.
Tamas is doing okay and so are Sia and Gran. But the same couldn’t be said for Jwala, Agni and Argan. They are all struggling a bit.
Even though they dealt with dozens of people, they are still showing obvious signs of exhaustion and they are really in a bad spot at the moment.
It has to be expected after all, as they climbed higher and higher with the challenges, the harder and harder it would be for them.
Even Sam barely managed to stay normal because of his endless tricks and his understanding of elements. The same couldn’t be said for his teammates. Even if Sam gave them some toys and trinkets that could help them, they wouldn’t be able to use them properly.
He then looked at the prisoners who are also struggling. If this goes on, they might desert him to save their asses.
Sam shook these thoughts and wanted to finish the battle and retreat instantly. So, he took out a small liquid energy cell of the spatial element and threw it towards the edge of the extending spatial crack.
*BOOM*
The large explosion expanded the crack at a rapid pace and turbulent spatial currents started flowing sucking everything into it.
The other party that already struggled so much looked at this in horror and Sam didn’t waste his time as he threw another cell.
*BOOM*
The whole place is turning chaotic and the other party decided to retreat.
The golem users took the lead followed by the branch leaders as they moved towards the city.
Sam made sure that his teammates didn’t pursue them and they retreated to a different side.
On their way, Sam took out a communication device and spoke.
"Use the blueprint one and set up the formation at the gate. Some troops of your city are coming, activate it as soon as they arrive. Hurry up, they might be there in fifteen minutes.
After everything settled down, contact me. I want a clear briefing of the situation."
Sam gave orders to Kiran and Arkiv while retreating.
Tamas and Sam are at the rear as they let the undead and the puppets carry the dead bodies of the enemies, he needs to extract information to find out why this attack happened.
The ambush was so sudden. It is almost as if Sam’s arrival location and time were previously notified to them.
The attack was almost immediate.
And even the other party’s arrival was out of nowhere. It seemed like they used some spatial tool to arrive at the location.
Even though they are high in numbers, they are still not to the point of overwhelming Sam and his teammates.
Otherwise, things wouldn’t have gone like this.
After retreating to a certain extent, Sam didn’t feel safe enough to camp anywhere. After all, even their arrival was predicted, he didn’t think the other party wouldn’t be able to find out their location.
So, until he found out the method they used to find their location, he can only assume that he was in open view.
