In front of Sam, there is a humanoid figure made up of ice and also holding a spear made of ice. The whole body of the figure is emitting fog all over and it is facing Sam directly.
Sam’s spiritual sense is still not working, he once again closed his eyes and looked at the hologram inside the tower and this time, he noticed that Philip, Watt, and Jack are on the third floor of the tower.
They are also looking at the hologram along with Sam.
They don’t know if Sam is looking or not, so they didn’t make a sound.
Sam just observed the energy waves of the Icy figure and noticed that it is also a pre-transcendent. Just like the beast that is outside.
A pre-transcendent stage Ice warrior appeared out of nowhere and that too when Sam was pulled towards a whirlpool by an invisible force.
Sam has a faint idea, that every whirlpool is a part of the test and he seemed to have to clear every one of them, this would be a pain in the ass. This is the only thought he had when he saw this.
All of a sudden, Sam made the car disappear and boarded the Harbinger.
Sam made this decision so that he couldn’t be a big target to the warrior standing in front of him, the space he could access here is very small and he couldn’t move the car freely within such a small and confined space.
Anyway, the car doesn’t have a good enough arsenal. He would take hours before dealing with a single one of them. And he doesn’t know how many of them would come in the next whirlpools.
The warrior is standing on the water and Sam doesn’t know how it was achieved. The warrior pointed the spear at Sam and threw it towards him as soon as he boarded the harbinger. At that moment, Sam dodged the spear easily.
The attack is too direct and Sam is maintaining a healthy distance from the warrior. The Ice warrior conjured another Spear made of ice and the amount of ice in the whirlpool decreased by a lot.
For some reason, Sam had more vertical access than horizontal access to move. The Spear has great momentum and power behind it, but it is not something Sam couldn’t dodge when he is on harbinger.
Sam looked at the warrior and started dropping the energy cells from the harbinger. He has no qualms in doing this, he doesn’t feel ashamed. The opponent is far stronger, he doesn’t want to fight a losing battle for some kind of fake chivalry and honor that couldn’t keep him alive.
Sam dropped three small energy cells from the harbinger, the Ice warrior dodged one of them, but it landed right next to it and blasted itself, the warrior to lose balance and wasn’t able to react, after all, it is standing on seawater not a solid ground once the water is overly turbulent it would be hard and Sam’s estimation is correct because the next two landed straight on the warrior right before they landed and half of the warrior was destroyed. The upper half completely disappeared.
Sam only used normal energy cells for now and the results are not bad. He has to see what would happen.
Sam didn’t move this time to see if another whirlpool will suck him towards it.
But when he stood there quietly, there is no force coming towards him and even this whirlpool is not sucking him. It seems that it is allowed to rest in a place after clearing the test.
Sam moved towards the next whirlpool, he doesn’t even have to determine which one it is, because the whirlpool invited him there by itself.
This time, the ice content is larger than before and it converted into two warriors with spears.
The situation went on similar to the last time, the place being limited is actually a blessing to Sam as it would be easy to restrict the warriors and they would take damage no matter what happens.
As Sam did so and became soaked in the rain-induced by the blast of energy cells, he wondered how the blast of a water elemental energy cell would be in such a place at the same time what would it be like blasting a fire elemental energy cell in the middle of the ocean.
He decided to try the fire elemental energy first and took out those. He watched as the third whirlpool revealed his opponents. This time only one figure appeared, but it appeared much leaner than the previous one and there are no weapons.
The figure looked at Sam and started waving its hand, suddenly the water under Sam shot upward with such a force that could instantly destroy him.
Sam hurriedly dodged, he slanted his board and barely evaded the strike and looked at the person below once again. The statue moved once more and this time, the water attacked from different directions.
Sam only focused on dodging and dodging and finally threw in a fire elemental energy cell.
As for why he waited and dodged for this long, that is because he wants to read the moves of this figure. He had faint speculation that these figures might repeat themselves, it would be easy for him to deal with them when they are alone.
But once the number of icy figures increased and they attacked him at the same time, Sam wouldn’t have many ways to deal with them. So, before that scenario happens, he has to make sure that he gets as much information as possible.
When the fire elemental energy blasted the impact is better than he thought.
The Blast is huge, and the fire elemental energy occupied a certain space and the elemental energy evaporated the water body completely.
The blast is effective. The water couldn’t handle the heat and the steam would be a great advantage. Because due to the energy blast, the spiritual sense wouldn’t be as effective, all they could pursue was chaos. It is just for a second though.
But for that one-second people has to rely on their eyes to see their opponent and the steam is a perfect deterrent for that.
Sam analyzed as he moved to the next whirlpool.
As for why Sam analyzed the effects in the sea, there is a chance that he might have to wage naval war against other nations.
The Naval wars are not exactly uncommon even in this world, in fact, the other two nations under thunder god temple have extremely large naval fleets.
They share a common sea that is not invaded by the beasts of the sea, so they fought over it for many resources.
Even some minor powers maintain Naval troops.
For the next battles, Sam only has one option dodge on the hoverboard, the hover board has brought him a great advantage. Its size is small and he can evade flexibly. He understood that these attacks are designed for the people who came on the boats and beasts.
They are not for an individual who can fly.
With the overwhelming barrage of energy cells, Sam was able to clear ten whirlpools within the day.
There is a rock near the tenth whirlpool. He landed on it and sat there to spend the night.
He couldn’t continuously battle. Even though he could recover spiritual energy and almost have an endless amount of it, Sam’s physical fatigue will be accumulated. Even when healing, it was only for the injuries not for the fatigue, it can only be overcome by proper rest.
Sam is also facing mental fatigue on top of the physical one.
He sat there on the rock cross-legged and went on.
This time, the difficulty clearly increased, Sam couldn’t find the right opportunity to shoot the energy cell whenever he wanted.
Yesterday, he was able to clear ten of the tests in half-a-day. But today, the next ten tests made it hard for him and consumed a whole day.
And there are still tests.
Until now, only one more new ice figure appeared and this guy is like a combination of both first and second icy figures, he used the water to his advantage and displayed some tremendous spells of water and ice at the same time, he is good at close quarters, he even used the aid of the water to try and get near Sam to hit him directly.
Sam wasn’t sure that he would be able to handle it.
All he did was escape. In his whole life, Sam never thought dodging could this taxing.
And this also made things tricky for him as he wasn’t able to lock on the target to destroy him easily.
In the ten battles that he fought today, these three types of icy figures appeared and the difficulty varied with the variation in the number of these figures that appeared in each stage.
