Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 1817: Weird Roots

Chapter 1817: Weird Roots

Sam took out a spear and threw it at the formation.

But it was actually shot down by the attacks that are coming forward.

Even though this spear strike is not as powerful as the arrow that Arkiv previously shot, he is still very surprised.

If it was the mercenaries from before, there is no way in h.e.l.l they would be able to beat Sam's attack,

Arkiv and Akhil are also a bit surprised.

Akhil is not very keen on ranged attacks, but every swing of his staff could create an energy ray that could perform just as much damage as his close-ranged attack.

But the only problem is for some reason, the young masters and the elders are coordinated well and their attacks are far more powerful than they expected.

The trio exchanged a glance and Sam nodded at Arkiv.

Arkiv took a deep breath and started shooting arrows crazily.

He shot arrows at the different attacks coming towards them and each arrow has a different level of strength. He gradually shot the arrows with increasing strength to gauge the attacks that come at them.

Surprisingly many of the arrows that he shows were destroyed by the attacks. Sam and Akhil had to defend a lot of them in their close range and dodge a lot.

When one of the arrows finally defended against the attack, Sam sighed.

Akhil just grinned at this, while Sam just shrugged.

It doesn't matter if their strength exponentially increased from the previous wave, they could still win.

The only problem is that he identified a pattern in the attacks that are coming.

They are not scattered like before they are extremely coordinated. They are also boosting each other with the combined compatible elements.

Fire elemental attacks and arrows are always being boosted by wind elemental attacks.

The earth elemental attacks are coming from underground like traps making the trio to be quick on their feet. Then there are the wood elemental attacks which Sam felt like they are the most troublesome.

They are being hidden through the earth elemental attacks and are trying to sneak up on them from different sides.

But still, after defying the annoyance, the trio still managed to move a few steps forward albeit very slowly.

Only after moving halfway through did they understand, that's not all Noah has planned.

All of a sudden, Sam sensed some movement from the rear.

A large number of roots followed by a lot vines started growing all over the city. In every direction that Sam could see, he could see the roots, vines, and trees growing in an instant.

Within a second a half, he couldn't see anything other than these roots and vines.

The vines and trees are attacking them from all sides. Arkiv and Akhil are the first to move. They used some of their solid moves that are on par with the monkey image strike and the condensed energy arrow that they used to send the mercenaries away.

But to everyone's surprise, the vines and roots all absorbed the attacks. They just disappeared as if they never even made.

Even Sam is surprised by this.

"Attack again."

He activated energy vision to make sure that he could understand whats happening.

The attacks were made.

Sam watched intently with his eyes glowing, what he saw shocked him even more.

The energy in the vines and the roots moved in unison as morphed the structure of the roots and vines to absorb the energy into it and pa.s.s it on to the next root or vine. The energy of the attack is then moved to the next root, the next root and the next.

Before they knew it, it is going far away like it has fallen into the abyss.

For some reason, not only Sam's spiritual sense could penetrate the roots and reach the edge of the city, even the energy vision failed to do so.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He waved his hands to send a tongue of golden flames to hit the trees and they reacted the same. As Sam observed the process once again, he is surprised to notice one thing.

"This thing is not actually that dangerous, rather it is just designed to consume our energy crazily. If we put in enough energy I think we might break it. At least if I am hundred spot on about its purpose."

"Why are you not spot on? For some reason I really miss your narcissism now. Please brag about how easily you take this apart."

Arkiv said with a helpless expression.

"It is not that I don't want to try. But the structure of these woods in complicated. It needn't be this complicated if all it has to do is do what it is doing right now.

So, there are two possibilities.

Noah might be trying to waste my time by giving that complicated structure so for us to decode it and destroy it fast, we would consume a lot of energy. The other reason might be that it has an hidden function that I am unable to see, because the energy vision is not exactly penetrating through the roots like I want it to.

If I see what is happening with that energy then I might be able to figure out a better strategy.

Until then what I can tell you is, the roots are indeed taking damage from our attacks, but almost ninety percent of the attack percent is being negated by absorption and only ten percent damage is being done.

Even that ten percent damage is being healed gradually as it is draing a ma.s.sive vitality strean from the ground.

I am a.s.suming it is from the surrounding woods.

So, to put it shorty, this is a huge energy drain.

Noah just wants us to waste our energy and time so that we would have no choice but to forfeit the task."

"When did she become so smart?"

Akhil asked in confusion.

He really believed that Noah is not that smarter.

"She was always like this. You are the idiotic one. With your muscle-headed att.i.tude. This is called true strategic mind. You might want to pick a thing or two."

Arkiv roasted from the side.

Akhil didn't care for that, he just looked at Sam and spoke.

"Find a way to deal with this man. I don't really care what it is and how powerful it is and how much of our energy is wasted. I want a solution.

I am itching for a fight for a long time. I need to beat a few people's a.s.ses right way.

So, just tell me what I need to do."

"I think I can figure something out. Just give me a second."

As Sam said, he sat down on the ground and started meditating with his eyes closed. In reality, he is actually making many simulations within the Divine dimension's second floor and at the same time, he is diverting his attention to the third floor.

"Attack it once again."

He muttered and went to the third floor to check on the crystal table.

When Arkiv shot an arrow, the arrow itself was thrown back while the energy was absorbed by the roots and was slowly dispersed away.

Sam didn't really have a way to peek deeply into the root structure of the roots. If it is just a formation, then he would be able to check everything, from energy structure to the level of accuracy of the formation.

But right now, this root is a living creature and Sam is not at a level where he could peek through their internal structures through the crystal table.

He could only guess what is happening through the other changes.

"Attack once again."

Sam kept on looking at the root as he tried to understand what is happening in the direction the attack went. After a few more attacks, Sam finally saw something. At the edge of the city, right at its formation of it, he could see that there are some fluctuations happening with the formation whenever an attack was thrown.

And when he looked deeper with a few more shots at the same line, he managed to identify something by peering into the formation a bit.

This fomraiton is actually the city's not the one that Lucifer laid out and this formation is acting as a tool to disperse the energy that came from the attacks. The only problem is that this energy is not being dispersed outside.

As soon as the energy from the roots went straight to the formation, it is dispersing towards the roots once again.

Only this time, Sam managed to see some changes. The plant seemed like it is absorbing a very minute portion of the energy.

Most of it is being dispersed to the environment, but just a tiny portion is being successfully absorbed.

"What are you doing with the extra energy absorption?"

Sam wondered since it doesn't help the woods full of wood elemental energy and it doesn't help much as the vines are not really an attacking object.

Sam went into deep thought, but shook his head off of those thoughts and is now looking to break it.
