Chapter 2580: Distraction
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The cultivators in the city immediately came to the border.They attacked the shadows and took them down easily. However, the shadows had an endless supply of energy from the shadow world and they just kept on regenerating. At the same time, the shadow energy was being flooded into the city.
Initially, the barrier is holding up, trying to keep the energy outside. But even the consummate cultivator knew that the barrier is only going to last so long.
He was thinking of what approach he should take.
Whether he should pick a side and attack the shadow formation and try to escape with the city people, or if he should reinforce the defenses.
Because his gut told him that the moment the barrier stops holding the shadow energy back... the city would be doomed.
His thought process was actually right, the problem however is that he didn’t think fast enough.
Before he could make a decision, the raw shadow energy just ravaged through the formation barrier, and Sam’s bird puppets that sneakily flew over, just gave it a little direction.
Cracks appeared on the barrier and within a few seconds, it broke open.
The shadow energy invaded the city.
They didn’t even know what hit them, before hundreds of shadows sprung out of the shadow world.
They attacked the people inside the city. Including the consummate level shadow that belonged to the consummate cultivator who was supposed to guard the city.
There was nothing he could do anymore.
Even as the humanoid shadow gave him blow after blow, he was thinking what he could have done. But he didn’t have an answer. Because everything seemed bleak to him.
The only possible way out would have been him escaping by himself, or maybe using the space gate to send them. But a couple of seconds of contemplation made him realize, only the first option is viable in such a short time frame.
Because they themselves locked the space.
If they unlock it for the sake of using the space gate, Sam would deal with them using that time frame.
The battle in the city intensified. Particularly, when dozens of new bird puppets spawned, attacking the cultivators and extracting their energy. One person after the other fell. Starting with the weak cultivators, it didn’t take long for the attacks to land on the strongest cultivators.
The system identified the battle progress, and closed off the shadow portal access right before the shadow could leave.
At the same time, the bird puppets, collapsed a bit, and enjoined together, to create a space gate formation, covering the city area.
With a single fluctuation, it leveraged the massive amount of residual shadow energy, converted it and sent all the shadows to a different region.
The second city.
Hundreds of shadows, including the consummate stage shadow, appeared just a couple of meters away from the second city.
The bird puppets moved as well and they created a similar shadow gate formation around the city. The shadows charged and attacked like crazy.
The news of one city’s fall was sent to the main base of Saxons. Bewulf was flabbergasted.
A city fell. One of their elites was killed just like that.
All happened in one day. He knew he had to do something to push back. Along with the rest of the elders, he started plotting after analyzing how systematic the attacks were.
At the same time, the automated system, sent an alert to Sam who was training back in the Hastin Village.
He looked at the wrist watch and just analyzed the next probable steps of Saxons before he went back to practice.
He was doing archery again.
The energy-less archery. The more he did it, the more he realized that he is on the verge of realizing something.
For the first time in a long while, Sam felt that he was not smart enough. Because he couldn’t put a finger on what he was missing and could only repeat the practice again and again.
Parth looked at Sam who was sweating bullets and was actually impressed.
But he also felt Sam’s frustration. It was unlike Bloody Chariot’s inferiority complex taking over. It was Sam’s genuine plight and sadness over his own incapability and his fervor to discover what he was missing.
Which is a million times better.
"Sam. Calm down. You are not there yet. But you are going there."
That’s all he said and Sam closed his eyes. He stopped the practice for a moment, took a few deep breaths and got ready again.
He was looking at the target and pulled the bow string.
He didn’t release it immediately. He was thinking about how he could attack the target, without actually using his energy. If he eliminates the arrow, what’s left?
He was thinking... at that moment, a small butterfly flew over and landed on the bow...
A familiar but distant scent suddenly invaded Sam’s mind. He felt a faint headache. It was faint, but sharp.
*TONG*
He let go of the bow string and shook his head.
He frowned.
’How could I be distracted?’
He thought to himself and got ready to pull the bow string again.
A butterfly. Another one, it appeared so gently, so slowly. But he couldn’t sense its arrival. He only saw it when it arrived in front of him.
Once again, the familiar scent. There was a stir in his serene mind, it became chaotic with that sharp pain.
*TONG*
He let go of the bow string. He just let it go.
Sam grew wary. He looked at the surroundings, but there was no change or any anamoly.
Parth on the other hand had a deep frown on his face.
He of course the butterfly that seemed to be the cause of the disturbance. However, just like Sam, he couldn’t sense it. Not just that... with his strength, he should be able to see much more. A lot more than just the physical presence.
No matter what entity it is, physical, living, non living, soul, spirit... he should have been able to sense its presence, but even he couldn’t do it, he could only see it.
