Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 1916: Artemis

Sam took off on the hoverboard.

Amid the explosions and flying wooden arrows that are as large as spears, he flew to the God that was standing there.

Sam stopped a few meters away from the humanoid figure.

”So, let me guess. You are Artemis?”

”Indeed I am. I am not very well-known around here. I am surprised you know of me.”

”Well, my knowledge is not from around here anyway.”

”So, you are the bastard that has been pestering the Olympus? I heard a lot of our followers have been attacked by your organization and you are even going against us in our quest to punish this planet.”

Sam looked at her silently for a moment.

”Mannerʼs isnʼt taught at Olympus, right? Maybe after I break open that realm and occupy all of its territories, I will reform the population with Samʼs school of thought. Its motto would be, ʼDonʼt run your mouth lest someone tears open your heartʼ.”

Artemis looked at Sam with a frown.

Her hand extended and a tree nearby grew all of a sudden and tried to capture him.

*SWOOSH*

He made a hard spin in the air. The tailwind of the harbinger cut the branches off. Sam looked at Artemis and spoke.

”I was still talking.”

The next second, he made his move. He zoomed off on Harbinger with wind element riling up around his body. The tailwind itself is sharp enough to leave a gash on Artemisʼ body as he flew higher and higher.

Artemis waved her hand and all of a sudden, the nearby trees that are shooting at the city changed their aim to him. Sam slipped through the gaps as the arrows came at him. He even used the wind force of the harbinger and redirected on of the arrows to hit Artemisʼs body.

Artemis was caught off guard by such a move. The fruit on the arrow exploded and a small patch on her wooden body was a bit corroded. But of course, neither the explosive damage, gash from tailwinds and the fruit corrosion was actually enough to cause a significant reduction in Artemisʼ power.

In fact, as Sam tried to get closer to her head, the wounds he left behind already healed. And from his energy vision he could see that there is literally no change in the overall energy level of her body.

Sam knew that it is going to be a tough fight if he takes this approach. The whole forest is a very vitality filled area. This is actually the best place to grow any and all kinds of herbs just from that vitality standpoint.

And since Artemisʼ form here is made of pure energy, there is no physical fatigue whatsoever. She can recover as many times as possible.

But just for this, Sam already thought of an idea.

A vine that grew from Artemisʼ body was shot towards him and the Harbinger. He dodged to the side and cut the vine with a wind blade.

A few more vines were aimed at him. He stopped the wind energy and activated shadow energy from within his body. He let go of the harbinger and left its control to the spirit itself.

Its job is very simple. Destroy the vines, arrows or whatever Artemis is going to throw at Sam.

He just flew towards the Artemisʼ head as he dodged all the vines and strikes coming at him. He is a like a fly buzzing around artemis.

Within just a few minutes, she got really annoyed. Meanwhile Sam on the other hand, didnʼt try to deal a single giant blow that would take her down. After trying a few times and realizing that Artemis is very adamant about not letting go near her head, he decided to take a different route.

*SWOOSH*

Sam dodged a vine that came at him like a whip and closed his distance between him and Atremisʼs body. He used void style and punched forward with the shadow energy.

*CRACK*

Along with the shadow energy, a large amount of death energy was injected into the wooden body.

Artemis felt a slight sense of unease as she sensed the wound on the wooden body. Her whole form and strength is based on vitality and it definitely isnʼt a pleasant feeling for her to feel the death energy in this body.

She tried her best to expel all the death energy out and in process, she had to destroy a part of that wooden body. Albeit very small area. But what she didnʼt notice is that a white flash that is very tiny to the point that it could fit in the grains of that giant wooden body disappeared into the body.

Sam kicked on the wooden body and changed his trajectory a bit. He moved in the air like a water snake in shallow waters. He took a swing and landed a kick on the leg of the body.

Once again, shadow energy, death energy and a white flash.

Sam kept on kicking and punching the wooden body as he damaged it every chance he got. He didnʼt even bother trying to land some massive blows.

”You cannot defeat me with those puny attacks. I can draw vitality from this soil and if that is not enough, I can even draw vitality from the trees around me. These trees have been here for thousands of years, and some of them are here for even tens of thousands of years, they are batteries of vitality at this point.

Do you want to see what I can do with it?”

As Sam watched, Artemis extended her hand and aimed at one of the trees nearby. The vitality of the see was sucked out slowly. The leaves at the tip of the branches slowly withered out and they are followed by much thicker and bigger leaves, than the whole tree.

All of this vitality is visibly gathered at the tip of Artemisʼ hand.

Sam frowned as he sensed the massive energy the vitality held. He immediately made his move. He gathered a large amount of energy in his own hands and smashed it behind the knee of the body.

*BOOM* The explosive punch made the body buckle down a bit.

At the same time.

*BOOM*

An explosive beam shot out of the hand of Artimesʼ body. It created a large crater as it went towards the city. The beam just brushed past the formation around the city and destroyed a good section of forest around it.

Sam was stunned by what he saw. He thought energy beams were his thing. In fact, the attack is very much similar to the vitality cannon that he equipped on a bunch of machines he made previously.

The formation fluctuated wildly. Sam knew that it wouldnʼt be a good thing to drag this out any longer. If Artemis does this a few more times, then the formation would definitely be destroyed.

Sam didnʼt hesitate any longer. He didnʼt even give the body to recover. He used his maximum speed within the shadow fusion mode and went on rapid fire more. Artemis felt like she is being attacked by a dozen people at the same time.

The time difference between two attacks is negligible.

And as the cracks appeared, more white flashes entered Artimesʼ body.

Aritmes looked at Sam hatefully.

”You are a fucking bastard. I will kill you every one of the people here.”

As he said, she extended both of her hands and from there extended a few more vines and branches. All of them are aimed at different trees within the forest and the vitality is being sucked out of all of them.

Sam didnʼt look worried though.

”I already told you. It is better if you mind your words properly. Manners will get you a long way.”

As he spoke all of a sudden the vitality that is gathered at the tips of the fingers, vines and branches of that large wooden body suddenly started reducing. In fact, even the vitality absorption ability of the body also reduced significantly.

The vitality is actually moving inside the body, but Artimes didnʼt feel energized. She felt like her life is being sucked out of her.

”What the fuck did you do? What did you do to me?”

She yelled hysterically.

Sam just stood there as he watched all of it unfold. He is very calm.

Within the next few minutes, Sam watched as the huge body slowly lose all the green within it, then the body slowly started losing all the moisture as the wooden structure withered away.

Artemis looked at Sam with utter shock. She looked into her own body and understood what Sam had done to her.

”How do even have such things with you? This is not possible. You are from lower realms.”

”Just how high have you been staying for such a long time that you are so ignorant of everything else?”

Sam paused and looked at Artemis.

”Learn some manners the next time we meet. I might handle you a little gently.”
