Sam is thinking about how to escape, he doesn’t know what will happen if he just entered the water directly.
If he were to be crushed again as soon as he entered, then there is nothing he can do, and has to go back into the dimension. He is truly in a pickle.
The whirlpool is too aggressive for him to swim upwards easily. If the ice figure once again comes into action as soon as he entered the water, he would have to suffer some serious injuries all over again.
After some thinking, Sam decided to try something which he didn’t know would work.
Under the water, an energy cell appeared under the crystal of divine dimension.
Even though he is confident that these energy cells couldn’t damage it, he is still nervous as he did this. The energy cell blasted as soon as it appeared and the crystal was shot up along with large amounts of water.
As soon as the crystal appeared in the air above the whirlpool, Sam came out along with the harbinger and desperately tried to increase his altitude. At the same time, he didn’t hesitate to drop three more energy cells as he saw the ice figure forming.
Sam barely escaped the blast range and hovered and when the water vapor was cleared, he saw that the water body that usually surrounded the ice figure is actually much smaller than before. And even the contaminated water this time is much lesser.
This time, Sam tried his best to distract himself from the whole bad stench and started throwing the energy cells at the Ice figure.
While doing so, he is cursing his bad luck for not having more space. Because, all this while, when he threw energy cells, he threw only small and thin discs which are using in the harbinger which he used before for smaller ranges. Because, if the blast intensity is too big, he would be blown away even if he entered the divine dimension and if he failed to enter, he would die.
After the Ice figure was done, Sam didn’t move further immediately, rather he took off the Breathing equipment and started puking his guts out.
He hasn’t puked in a while.
But just the smell is enough for him to make him feel like this.
He took a rest for an hour and decided to restart the journey.
This is the fourth whirlpool for today and as soon as he entered it, he was dumbfounded because this time the smell is even worse than the previous time.
Sam felt like killing himself. The last one is at least the waste of the sea creatures, this time it seems to be a combination of human waste, sea waste and all forms of wastes that have foul smell seemed to have dumped together and was brewed for hundreds of years. When he looked at the watercolor Sam didn’t even want to touch it.
As the ice figure is forming, Sam once again threw the energy cell, but this time it didn’t reach the target, the water flew up and blocked the energy cell and even though it was blasted, the ice figure didn’t receive any damage for some reason.
This made Sam frown.
He repeated the same time many times and there is still no result.
The energy cells are being blocked but there is no damage to the ice figure. This is something he didn’t expect. After a series of attacks, Sam finally understood.
The ice figure in the previous stage has taken some damage while blocking the attack was mostly due to the fact that it used the water body that surrounded it to block, but this time it is using the water which is not from the water body and even after blocking it, the ice figure seemed to have let go of the control of the water before the explosion.
By abandoning the control, there is minimum damage done.
Sam felt like cursing himself. How can he get past, if energy cells didn’t work?
He is confident that if he bombarded with a large amount of a huge energy cell, the ice figure would die, but the place is too small and he would be blasted away along with the crystal. It is not exactly useful.
The water within the range is mostly in motion and only the extreme edge has considerably less motion which is almost negligible.
Sam started to think of the ways to see if he could use any of the circumstances to his advantage but the thing he had to keep on dodging and has little to no time to think.
After some time, he wanted to see if he has any other way to deal with this.
He took a methane grenade and threw it
He didn’t even throw it, he just dropped it as he dodged.
This time, the water didn’t block it directly, maybe it only registered the energy cells as a danger that should be blocked like that, and moreover there are no spiritual energy waves coming from the grenade.
As the grenade dropped, it submerged a bit. Sam thought, there is a little possibility of it working.
After all, it’s a bomb and even though it is air-tight and wouldn’t allow the water to enter, he didn’t think the methane could create a blast inside the water.
But the result actually surprised him. Because, as soon as the grenade exploded, the blast wasn’t minimized by the water completely.
Not only that, for some weird reason, the gas didn’t escape from the water and stayed under the top layer. Then only he noticed that the green complexion of water is due to some strange mixture which is not letting the gases travel from within.
This might be due to the fact that it wanted to kill the people who fell into the water with no supply of oxygen in it.
But this can be used for his benefit too.
The next moment, Sam reduced his altitude to a dangerously low level and he almost appeared to be surfing on the layer of the water.
The two nozzles under the harbinger opened and the methane was being pumped out and blue flames started to appear under the surface.
Sam noticed that the Ice figure is losing control over water because of the heat and at the same time, the methane is not escaping the top layer no matter how much he pumped in and how much it is burning.
This is something he didn’t expect. He doesn’t know what the other party used to make this water gross and smelly, but it is biting them back really bad.
Sam moved at his top speed leaving after images and this continued for more than half-an-hour. Then only the ice figure finally lost control of the water and was all alone and even the ice is not dim at all.
Sam finally used the energy cells to finish this off.
In this battle, Sam noticed something, the water in the whirlpool range is not completely connected to the remaining sea. There is a type of division within them. The Ice figure of the whirlpool can only control the water within this division. Even if he evaporated the water within and the void was refilled with the surrounding water, the ice figure couldn’t control it anymore.
Sam rested for some time to go for the next place.
This time there are two ice figures. The increase in difficulty was done by an increase in numbers and the defense against the grenades was already prepared.
The ice figures are gathering data from the previous ones and are trying their best to counter all the possible threats.
This is a real pain in the ass.
But Sam fought tooth and nail and was able to overcome the next few whirlpools and by the end of the day, there is only one whirlpool left.
The whirlpool is the last one of this stage.
He didn’t proceed immediately.
This is the third day of their journey and there are four days for the island to appear. Sam doesn’t know if there are any other tests and whether or not the time would be sufficient.
The next day, Sam moved onto the next and the final whirlpool in this stage.
But as soon as he entered the whirlpool, Sam halted in his tracks, because his eyes went blind. That’s right, he couldn’t see anymore. With this all his senses are gone, his nose is being affected by the pungent smell, his ears are cut off and there is not much he can do with the sense of touch.
All that left with him was his sixth sense which could warn him of some dangers. But it is not entirely reliable as the opponent is too strong. He is lucky that he was able to dodge the opponents, with his harbinger and he used all his might to do so. If he couldn’t see, the situation wouldn’t be good.
Sam though hard and felt that he only has one choice, that uses the hologram projection to see but that will also reduce his time to deal with this, he has to deal with the whole thing as fast as he can, because, he wouldn’t be able to last long in the state while he battled simultaneously.
