Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sam observed the direction at which the knives are pointed at and roughly estimated the possible trajectories, there are very few blind spots and it hard to completely stay in a zone where there is no threat of these knives.

Sam, came back to his senses and when he saw the red-hot condition of the arms of the puppets, he aimed his hands and sprayed water on them.

The whole suddenly was full of steam. The young lady frowned. Even though the steam didnʼt hinder her spiritual sense much and Sam could be sensed easily, she felt distracted by the sudden addition of steam and it is a bit frustrating.

She tried to concentrate on the battle and what greeted her was the Sam is using the same tactic again and again. He is only trying to dodge and every time, he gets to hold the puppet, he is heating it and once he was forced to release by a flying knife or attacks from another puppet, he would spray the puppet with the water releasing the steam.

This continued for a dozen times and the young lady was even getting annoyed.

But suddenly, Samʼs style changed.

He didnʼt use heat anymore. As the sword puppet made his way towards him while the sword emitted a concentrated sword ray, Sam dodged it and placed his hand on the back of the puppet.

The palm was placed squarely on the back and he gave the puppet a slap.

Suddenly, the metallic disc inside Samʼs palm reacted and the Ash meteorite sand threads formed web similar to that of a spiderʼs web.

The web spread on the back of the puppet and as soon as Sam pulled back, it cut through the metal and web caught a chunk of metal with it.

In a second, there is a hole on the back of the puppet and Sam thew the chunk of the metal in his hands into the spatial ring as the web retraced back into the metallic disc.

This is the new addition he made for the web.

As for how, a low-grade Ash meteorite sand pierced through the rank-6 metals, it is due to the constant heating and rapid cooling.

When Sam scratched and attacked the puppets a few times, in the beginning, he noticed that they are extremely resistant to any form of abrasion, it is difficult for him to cut through them.

So, he opted to basic chemistry. If metal is rapidly heated and even more rapidly cooled, it will become brittle as the grain structure will be damaged due to constant expansion and contraction. There will be a small crack that would appear in the metal and those small cracks are all he needed.

The sword puppet can barely move and it can definitely not move its arms as he pulled out the mechanism that is running its hands completely.

He placed his hands inside the cavity and used his claws to get a hold of a joint and tore it apart from inside.

No, only two puppets remained. But reaching the sabre puppet is not an easy task because the third puppet is not as passive as before. The knives were being shot at him and Sam noticed something when a knife was pierced into a wall.

The wall seemed to have corroded a bit and the knife fell down. Then only he noticed the floor. The knives are capable of corroding the floor too.

Samʼs expression grew serious. For now, the knives are only being thrown at the place where he was standing giving him a chance to dodge, but that situation wouldnʼt remain long, if the knives flew from all the directions, then he would have trouble dealing with them

As he was thinking of ways to deal with them, he noticed that he is near the sabre puppet, but not in the way he wanted.

His back is facing the sabre puppet and the thick sabre light stuck him squarely on the back.

He was barely able to inject the fire elemental energy into the feathered coat to activate the feathers which stopped the blade to cut through, but he wasnʼt able to dodge the full brunt of the attack.

The force made his internal organs shake and he bled a little from the corner of his mouth.

The young lady is using the knives to reduce Samʼs movement and making him move closer to the sabre puppet, but when he reached the puppet, he would be in such a position that the puppet is the only attacking.

Sam grew increasingly alert as he looked around, this time he didnʼt dodge the knives, instead he stood in a spot and started diverting the knives with his claws.

The claws are not being corroded, but because, Sam using the wind element and causing a small pressurized wind at the point of contact between the claws and the knives. The wind gap explodes diverting the knivesʼ trajectory.

As Sam diverted the knives randomly, he suddenly sensed something and leapt to the side and a knife that he was about hit back passed through that position and pierced into the Sabre puppet behind him.

In general, the puppets, shouldnʼt be damaged by these knives, but after Samʼs ʼHeat treatmentʼ the puppet is not as sturdy as before.

When he saw the knife doing damage to the puppet, he had an exciting gleam in his eyes.

He was troubled on how to deal with the sabre puppet when these knives are coming at him, now the knives themselves showed him the way.

And then began the young ladyʼs distress. This time, whenever Sam deflected a knife it would change the trajectory and hit the puppet at the same spot again and again.

Soon, the small hole turned into a big one, big enough for the whole knife to go in.

But at this exact moment, the knives stopped and there is no movement from the sabre puppet too.

Sam understood instantly, that the young lady was thinking about how to make a further move. No matter, what she did the sabre puppet will be a lost cause.

But Sam didnʼt wait for her to make a decision and made his way to the sabre puppet. The sabre puppet is a lot sturdier than the sword puppet and a lot bulkier. He started slapping the puppet with his palms and soon one hole after another appeared on the puppet.

By the time, the puppet fell down, Sam noticed that something is off.

When he turned back, the large puppet which is shooting knives has stood up and stretched its legs to the side and even the arms are stretched to the side. Before he could make sense, the legs and the arms opened up and a series of chains popped out of it.

There is a blade at the edge of the chains and they all moved as if they are tentacles.

The head also split open and short metallic pikes are being shot at Sam. The chains, the knives and the pikes, the puppet was doing some crazy damage to the arena. The artisans who have built this would puke blood in distress if they saw the scene.

But Sam is experiencing another type of distress. He was being attacked from all sides and it was complete chaos. He activated full-body elemental fusion and he turned into a bunch of golden flames.

This prevented him from getting injured due to the corrosion of the knives, but he still has to deal with the chains. The metallic pikes, particularly when passed through are giving him an excoriating pain.

His spiritual energy which is five times more than a normal Level-2 Grand Realm cultivator was being depleted rapidly and Samʼs brain is also working in the same speed.

There are only two ways to be out of this and one of them is using bloodline forbidden arts. It has been a long time since he even thought about these. These arts are some forbidden arts inherent to the beasts of the superior bloodline.

Sam has the blood of four superior beasts in his body and he has the ability to activate them. But if he used them, he wouldnʼt be able to use his strength for at least a week as his spiritual core would be depleted of all the energy.

There is another way, which he was thinking whether to try or not as it wouldnʼt probably work twice if the first time failed or seen through by the opponent, but he still decided to give it a try.

He halted his movements and the elemental fusion was stopped. His whole body was suddenly covered with black fog. And he disappeared from that place in a flash.

This is the ability of the shadow mice. He decided to flash between the shadows of the knives and chains and to his surprise, this actually worked.

Unlike shadow mice, Sam wasnʼt able to move that fast and cover a long distance in a single instant.

But he was able to do so for a few metres.

As Sam flashed down, the attacks were slowly reduced and before the young lady could understand what is happening, Sam is already behind her and placed his hand on her neck. The third puppet which is a gigantic obstacle wasnʼt even dealt with by Sam.

He just simply took a turn around it and held the lady by her neck from behind.

*CRASH*

She immediately lost control of the puppet and the huge metallic structure fell down causing the debris and dust to raise.
