Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sam felt conflicted about using this Idea. He was sure that he is no match even if the King vs King battle happened.

He would have to suffer a lot. Is it worth it? That is what gnawing his mind.

After some thought, he gritted his teeth and hardened his heart. If that is what it takes to get a victory of the greatest commander, then so be it.

He moved his rook to battle with the king. He stood at the edge of the stage and completed the light element fusion. The golden looked extremely majestic. But Kartikeya still didnʼt make his move. He is keen to see what Sam could do.

Sam suddenly made a move, his body slowly started turning green. At least there is an extremely faint hue within the golden glow. Any ordinary person would have missed it.

Sam directly turned into a beam of light as he dashed into Kartikeya. For a second even he couldnʼt clearly see what is happening and dodged. But the light beam didnʼt cross the stage and launch to the void.

It halted at the edge and once again shot back at an incredible speed.

But this time, the green hue is brighter.

The scene repeated itself and the golden light is turning into a green one and the light beam turned faster and faster.

Just when Kartikeya thought he got the rhythm of the movement and speed, both will change making him miss the target.

As he watched the golden light almost completely turned green and there is barely any golden hue and now Samʼs body didnʼt even touch the ground.

He is almost floating in the air.

This is his laser form. Sam never used this before, because it is not yet completed and the second reason, it brought him more harm than good. He can kill his opponent in many ways, even though this way the rate of success is high, he would be destroying his own body. He looked at his own health bars and Sam couldnʼt help but sigh at the rate of decrease it is suffering.

He concentrated all the remaining energy within himself and drained himself dry.

It is about time for one final attack.

Sam disappeared from his spot leaving a green line behind as he zoomed to the heart of Kartikeya.

Kartikeya frowned and became vigilant. He felt like he would die the moment he became careless.

He wanted to use some defensive technique but the time was not enough. He could only use his arms to block.

The arm guards on the arms had a hole in them and the two arms are cut bone-deep. Kartikeya used his all to defend the arms with his spiritual energy but still took this much damage.

He fell back and endured the pain as he looked at Samʼs body was deactivated of the elemental fusion and just laid on the floor. Sam spat out blood like crazy and looked at his opponent who stood up carefully.

He reduced Kartikeyaʼs health by four bars. This is better than he expected and this time, the damage is a lot more than just health bars, he would like to see how Kartikeya would use his spear.

With a smirk on his face, he lost his breath. He died.

Sam reappeared on his seat. His body shivered and palpitated. He is covered in a cold sweat and has a huge thirst for oxygen as he gasped for breath.

The whole room was filled with his gasps. Sam felt the most pain he ever endured in his life. This is the reason he thought, this is a bad idea. Kartikeya pitied Sam as he looked at his struggle. He has half a mind to stop the game right here.

But Sam didnʼt give up. He took a huge gulp of wine and tried his best to come back to his senses.

After fifteen minutes, Sam was finally back in the game. Kartikeyaʼs move was done, one step from the king, but he made it sure that Samʼs Knight can attempt to take the kingʼs life.

But this time, Kartikeya is extremely vigilant and didnʼt let Sam made the first move. His hands are already but, at least the veins are not severed so that he didnʼt bleed to death.

He tore a cloth from his robes and quickly tied up the wounded spots.

As soon as Sam arrived and stabilized on his Raiju, he threw his spear.

But he was a tad bit too late.

The spear which should have been fast enough to impale itself into the Raijuʼs head missed as the Raiju skipped and left the spot.

This time, Sam didnʼt use the same Laser mode, he didnʼt want to go through the same torment again, even if he has to be hurt at the same level, he would choose a different method to hurt himself and he did exactly that.

Kartikeya took out another spear and got ready to defend. He was still not being too offensive, he just didnʼt want to give Sam an addition such a beast mount as he watched the ruthless methods that almost ruined himself.

But he failed and now the beast and the young man are on either side of Kartikeya.

Both of them started to use the Lightning element and completed the fusion. Samʼs fusion is not a hundred percent one, only a partial one. But the Raiju is different, he learned that Raijus can gain partial fusion of fifty percent from their birth and talented ones with great bloodline purity can attain a hundred percent easily. And his Raiju happened to be one of them as soon as Sam refined his bloodline.

Kartikeya looked at both of them and looked vigilant. He knew Sam is using the loopholes of the game to his advantage and is using suicidal moves again and again. He doesnʼt want to fall prey to that.

As he thought, his energy started surging and he decided to attack Raiju first. Since it is weaker, he can take care of it faster. But as soon as he turned around, Sam came from the rear, he expected it though.

He didnʼt stop moving to Raiju and as he was about to stab it, he turned around and impaled the spear in Sam who is behind him. For some reason, the energy ripples caused by Kartikeya can even impale the fully fused bodies, much less a partial one.

Sam didnʼt show any expression of pain however, rather he smirked.

Then only Kartikeya noticed that Samʼs energy is different and in form of waves.

He frowned and was about to retreat, but Raiju came from the rear used all its energy to launch to attacks.

Lightning struck as two deep gashes appeared on his rear. He thought that Samʼs energy wave is a distraction and he was fooled.

He became a bit angry and was about to use the energy ripples that could tear Sam apart. But before he could do so, he realized he has been fooled once again. Raiju who was near them and lost almost all of its health in the last attack went back and jumped off.

Samʼs elemental body fluctuated as the void style was used and all he did is move his body forcefully and the whole body exploded.

The explosion of lightning caused a lightning storm, it should have made at least half of Kartikeyaʼs body explode with it, but he is smarter than that and as soon as Raiju jumped off, he threw the spear away along with Sam.

But he is not completely out of the explosion range and storm zone, which made him paralyzed.

He laid there on the floor even after the storm disappeared as he reflected on himself.

A young man has toyed with him. His left hand is now bleeding even more and his whole body is shocked with all his muscles sore. He didnʼt feel like this in a long while.

He didnʼt expect Sam to be a suicidal maniac. He came out and looked at Sam, who is experiencing another bout of torture. After Sam calmed down, he didnʼt make a move.

There are two more battles for Sam. One with a queen and the last one with a king. Kartikeya is still superior, but still a total of seven health points are gone, but Sam is still not confident.

”Should I scold you or praise you? I cannot decide.”

Sam only smiled as he wiped his sweat.

”Your bout of surprise attacks is really great. I didnʼt expect that you would put yourself through the same torment twice. If not for that I wouldnʼt have been injured. However, there is no point in making excuses.

But you do know that there is no way that this would work again right? None of your other elemental fusions are of this much power to cause any proper damage as they are not fast enough. And even if you use it, the situation wouldnʼt be the same. I just hope that you wouldnʼt put yourself through that torment again. I am not saying this because I want to avoid that, but just saying with genuine concern. Torturing yourself like this will affect your mentality. So, be careful.”
