Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 2345: Trap Zones and Manipulating Conflicts



Crow watched from outside the formation as Sam stepped out of it.

While the opponent is tangled with Crow, Sam just switched the formation up a little bit and now the opponent is dead.

Sam looked at the surroundings for a moment and said.

"You leave to the next location first, I want to do something here."

Crow didn't ask him any details and left. Meanwhile, Sam started placing a few more formation discs in the area. He knew that the lightning would attract a few people here, the specters already informed him of the movements.

The sudden disappearance of lightning might have slowed down the approach a bit, but they will surely come.

It would be a waste if he let them come here and leave without experience anything, so he laid down those formations and disappeared from there.

A few minutes after he left...

A participant came and looked around. He frowned at the sight in front of him. It is way too clean. There are no signs of battle, in fact there not even a trace indicating a person was here. No residual energy, no distortion in the terrain, nothing.

This rang several alarm bells, but he still couldn't help but land and look around carefully.

This made him think that maybe someone is here and is hiding. If someone is hiding after such a huge scene of lightning, then they are most likely injured and that is an easy prey. The participant rationalized the situation and tried to check the surroundings.

After five minutes, he suddenly felt a bit odd.

*SWOOSH*

Before he could think, a Boar rammed into him. He didn't even have time to react and only after that impact did he manage to see what truly is in front of him. There are two boards constantly running around and one of them is currently holding him by his tusk.

He also felt a weird energy invade his body.

He is cursed.

Just like that another candidate fell.

Meanwhile, Sam went to the next location in which Crow is already fighting with a different guy. This participant also made a different trap to deal with other competitors, using the terrain and the undead creature.

Sam used a similar tactic to use the trap and defeated him, before covering up the tracks. This process repeated for five more times, before they finally stopped.

Sam and Crow and went back to their rendezvous.

"So, what's next? Care to explain the plan?" Crow asked.

"We have been here for more than six hours. One fourth of the minimum time required to qualify as winners.

From what I checked, by now, almost every participant gathered with their team. At least the ones that actually wanted to participate as a team.

At this point, from my estimation, there are only a couple of dozen people who are working solo, either by a pre-arrangement with their team or just because they wanted to work alone. Rashma is also part of these two dozen people.

And one thing that is common for all of them is that they are actually strong. Really strong to the point they would have done well even in the solo combat. They will be the variables that will increase the intensity of the battle as they fight for individual glory.

We will help them reach that glory state.

Meanwhile, we will let the arrangements we made until now ferment and fester. The zones that we created, they are going to increase the number of undead creatures by a large amount in a short time, they also act as occasional sink that will devour the people that come across, accidentally or otherwise.

Still their primary goal is to increase the number of undead creatures and they will do so. Once they reach a certain level, which will take some time... we will put them to work.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Until then... we can take on a much more passive role and ensure that everything goes the way we want it to be."

"Still, I am a bit confused about your approach though.

At first I thought you just wanted to use the traps to deal with them one by one, but you created those traps and are letting the creatures grow. You even kept them inside the traps making sure that they won't come out.

So, unless someone is idiotic enough to interfere with them, they won't be of much use. I thought you would be a lot more aggressive and deal with them, when I saw the way you hunted down people in solo combat prelims.

But you are acting so mellow right now."

Crow sighed and said it with a tinge of disappointment. Maybe he really wanted to see Sam in action.

However, Sam just smiled and said.

"If it was normal pocket dimension, I would have done the same. You might have even seen me use a bunch of my other tricks.

However, I was given such a great playground with so many features of its own. How can I not use them to the fullest?

Just wait and see, I will make you witness one of the most astonishing displays of victory that you have ever seen and you won't even need to lift a finger after a while to achieve it.

So, until then just follow me around.

We can entertain ourselves with the upcoming fights. But before you can do any of that, I need you to be at your best shape. So, recover."

Both of them focused on recovering for the next hour. The constant fights did drain Crow and the constant formations made Sam exhausted as well.

After an hour, they finally made a move.

This time however, they didn't directly attack someone, nor did they try to lure someone into a trap zone they set up, instead they tailed a candidate from Indra academy who is acting solo. From what Sam knew, it was a team decision.

The remaining two will fight together, while this guy will act solo. However, they will be within a certain distance from each other and will have each other's backs when needed.

So, right now, as they tailed this guy, the remaining two people are also within a certain range and they might just attack them as soon as Sam and Crow revealed themselves. After tailing him and observing his behavior first hand, and also confirming the location of a few more people, Sam decided on a plan and explained it to Crow.

Both of them got separated and went into different routes.

In a spot, a man and a woman are currently keeping an eye on a different participant. These two are the Indra academy students.

"Is the leader safe?" The woman asked while she held her bow tightly and estimating the distance of the candidate in the front.

"Of course, he is. How many times are you going to ask this? I will let you know myself if he is

really not safe.

Anyway, it is not really our turn to worry about him. He can handle himself really well.

If you really want to help him, just go on dealing with the targets without needing his help."

The man obviously sounded frustrated. Judging from the woman's expression indicating she wanted to continue the conversation, it is kind of understandable.

However, at that moment their target moved, which made them stop the conversation and

move. But as soon as they made their move while still hiding their presence, they felt energy

enveloping them.

At the same time, an arrow flew over their heads and headed towards the target who is

moving.

*BOOM*

The arrow was not exactly powerful, but it did create a lot of commotion as it moved. The two candidates from Indra academy are stunned. They tried to move, but they realized that the energy surrounding them is a formation that is restricting their movement.

Their target turned in their direction and their positions were laid bare for everyone to see.

"Fucking hell."

The woman couldn't hold on any longer and pulled the bow string. An arrow purely made out

of energy conjured and on that arrow, the energy even turned into some runic forms.

"No, wait. This is an enclosed space, the recoil...."

The man wanted to stop her, but she just fired the arrow to the ground.

*BOOM*

The formation did break, but both of them were blown away from the resultant explosion.

At least, they thought they increased the distance between themselves and their target. However, as the man tried to regain his balance, he suddenly felt cold metallic sensation on his neck. The next thing he knew, three sharp objects penetrated into his neck. Before they could tear his neck away, he elbowed the opponent behind him and escaped from the grip. But the stabs despite being light made him bleed. The woman regained her balance and attacked the target, before joining her friend. Both of them stood against their target

vigilantly.

There is a reason, why they were tailing in secret without actively hunting him down. Because

that guy is one of the strongest contenders in the second grade and also one of the secret

weapons of the Sanatan region.

A student from the Karthikeya academy, and also the rival of their leader.

Their plan is to take him down when he was busy fighting with some local threat to clear the

way for their leader, but now... their locations are found out.

Sam looked at the targets that are locked in with each other. He just hoped Crow did his

bidding on the other side.
