Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

2348  Plot

As Rajan maneuvered around the attacks of the skeletal dog and the earthen dog, the first skeletal dog is gathering soil once again.

It created another earthen dog, making it three opponents.

As if that is not enough, another skeletal dog came out of the ground attacking him and he even observed a slight and faint violet aura around its bones. Within no time, he is once again occupied.

Similarly, Margo who escaped from Rajan before, also encountered a special creature.

This one is something Sam is way too familiar with. It's the Tree-man that he encountered before. As if he has no other way, Margo came running towards this patch of trees after escaping from Rajan.

By then, this tree also entered the violet level and once it did, its effect is much higher than the other creatures in the zone. At least Rajan managed to find some openings and make a run for it. But Margo didn't even have that chance.

From the moment, he entered the patch of woods, he was lost. No matter in which direction he went, he was surrounded by trees. If he tried to fly away, the tree branches are blocking his way and pulling him down.

The trees are turning into tree men of various strengths in random.

And these tree men all have different unique perks. One of them can manipulate its size, completely or partially and generate great force when inflicting physical attacks.

Another one is shooting spikes and thorns laced with poison.

A different tree is shedding its bark which is turning into several small pieces that are flying around and hitting him like daggers.

One of the tree men even spit fire.

After a while, he forgot where exactly he was and where exactly he is going. But no matter what he did, he was unable to get out of there. All the things he burned down in his life…. To think that he will be taken down by a dead forest…

Similar scenes could be seen all over the area.

By now, the edges are also infested with too many skeletal creatures for Sam to just stay there. However, he also had other plans. He targeted the violet creatures and lured them to specific spots where they are most likely going to get hooked with one of the start students.

As he did this continuously, soon almost all the solo players are occupied.

Even if Sam appeared in front of them, they wouldn't be able to do anything. They are way too pre-occupied. The creatures are strong, strong enough to even kill an average team participating in the competition.

The star students proved why they are the star students just by surviving against them.

Sam also understood why these people were in the Team competition. Even though they are strong, their cultivation is not at the absolute peak of the second grade. They still have a year left in the second grade. At least one more year.

Which means, they still have another chance to gain glory in the solo combat.

So, they were used in the team combat as contingency.

If by any chance, their other teams didn't do well in the other competitions, they can compensate that loss with the team competition. Of course, even if the others did well, no one can complain about having too many points now, can they?

Even then, they are not the primary target for Sam.

Instead, he focused more on the teammates of these star students. More often than not, the students accompanying the start student usually, end up being much less powerful compared to him. Particularly, when the said star student is working alone instead of accompanying them.

So, now with their guardian star kids gone, these people are targets in a open hunting season. Even then, Sam didn't just kill them directly.

He only attacked them enough to damage them severely.

Once they are exhausted enough and they were almost at the twenty-hour mark, Sam moved to the final steps of the plan.

Just as he was about to implement it, he just had one thing to do. To go to Rashma.

Ever since the competition started, Sam didn't worry about Rashma for one bit. She is way too strong, way too powerful and way too resourceful for her competition. He is sure that even if there are a bunch of skeletal creatures surrounded or when even a violet creature targeted her and chased her around, Sam knew she would be safe.

But the thing he is going to do next, will put even her in a tight situation.

Coincidentally, when he was about to go meet her, he sensed a plot.

"You go to the place that I mentioned and stay there. Don't even dare think about moving around. You can move around as much as you live, once we unleashed the chaos. Just stick to the plan."

After that, Sam used spatial blink to quickly travel to a certain location.

Meanwhile, Rashma is fighting with a violet creature with a wide grin on her face. It is a violet bird. A Hawk's skeleton to be exact and it developed a weird ability of conjuring bony feathers. With every passing second it generated more and more feathers. These feathers were thrown out and were controlled by the bird, trying to hit Rashma.

At the moment, she is hovering in the sky as the Hawk skeleton came at her, with hundreds of feathers attacking her from all sides.

Rashma purely used her brute force to crush the skull of the bird. Of course, in the violet stage, it barely slowed the creature down. However, its constant resistance against the attacks only made Rashma more and more excited.

She kept on breaking the bird down, waited for it to gain its strength back and even let it become more powerful before she attacked it again.

But in all that excitement, she forgot to notice one thing. On all four directions of her, there are four teams and all of them are busy doing one thing. They are conjuring a trap zone of their own.

At first, Sam didn't think much of it, because the four teams didn't communicate at all, but just created trap zones of their own. Then, they lured some people and defeated them. The only reason, he didn't go after those trap zones, is because they are not as good or efficient as the rest.

However, after some time, he noticed the weird change in Rashma's movement, almost as if she is being deliberately moved.

She was lured to this place, even then didn't think much. But soon, the formations laid down by the four teams… they made him think twice about this. The main reason, he ignored them until then was that they are all small teams. They are negligible in terms of rankings are and are barely hanging in the nineties.

They are not even competition.

However, now he realized that something is off. And like he guessed, the formations laid down by the four teams are very identical. One can call it as guiding formations. They are basically formations made in the form of a path.

After laying down these formations, they broke the trap zones they created. Several creatures, including a few violet ones immediately ran out and rampaged.

However, to their dismay, they were unable to move anywhere. Maybe the constant suppression triggered their rage, they tried to break through and run away. But the guiding formation they created restricted the movements of these creatures.

They blocked the path of the creatures in all three directions and left only one direction for them to move in.

The same direction in which Rashma is currently playing with the Hawk skeleton.

Just like Sam guessed, it is a plot. These four academies, had a tacit understanding without any open communication. His specters weren't able to see them meeting, and he didn't even observe their usage of communication tokens. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They stayed low, set up the trap zones, bred the creatures and now they left these creatures to deal with Rashma.

The more he thought about it, the more questions arose. However, before he could think about them, he had to help Rashma deal with them.

Soon, Sam arrived at one of the guiding formations. A tunnel like path made of energy barriers is guiding the creatures towards Rashma.

At the end of tunnel, a barrier started raising covering a large circle. Sam tried to throw some energy capsules, but to his surprise, even that unstable energy explosion is not attacking the formation. There is barely any fluctuation.

He activated energy vision and observed the barrier. He realized that the energy from the barrier is not exactly regular spiritual energy or divine energy.

He took out the communication token to try and contact Rashma, but he couldn't connect with her. After thinking for a while, he couldn't do much and jumped into the barrier.
