Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sam and Kumar are looking at the formation blueprint in front of them.

He is really impressed by what Kumar has done with the blueprint. This is a single-use formation and uses spears as primary nodes with only around ten formation flags.

When the formation was activated by the presence of targets inside it, the first spear would be activated and move to attack them, then one of the nodes will disappear, and this changes the formation to a different one and a second spear with a different level and type of attack will be triggered, followed by another change in the formation and another attack.

This is an extremely complex formation and an enclosed area like this mountainous region is indeed the best place to use.

But there is one problem with this.

Kumar wanted to have one large attack with the last ten spears as the final attack which would mark the end of the formation, but he couldn't make a big enough attack to happen by himself. The attack is not powerful enough to kill an opponent if the disparity between him and the opponent is large as the power of the formation is solely dependent on his own strength as he would be the person who would channel the natural spiritual energy into the attacks.

After checking it several times, Sam really did find the problem and started explaining it to Kumar.

"I understand what the problem is, but my knowledge of formations is not enough to solve this problem, it would take a lot of time." Kumar lamented. But Sam just smiled and took out a formation disc as he started inscribing a formation on it.

"Take this and place it in the position of the fifth node. Everything will be good."

Kumar looked at him in confusion.

"That's it? You are using a formation as a node?"

"Of course, both of you are good with formations and merging them with your abilities, but what you lack is creativity and some research ability. Start thinking outside the box and stop limiting the imagination.

I have used this technique before I turned twenty. Do you remember the city I built in desolate? The first city named after me? I used this technique then I killed a bunch of Consummate realm cultivators with it."

He said casually and stood up to stretch a bit.

Kumar and Noah looked at him with a dumbfounded expressions.

"Is it really necessary to flex at every chance you get?" Kumar muttered from the side as he placed the formation plate in the storage ring.

They are not moving that night. They are making their move the next day.

  The next morning they started working with the dawn. They went to the front path directly.

Even from the location they could barely see the city, they still cannot go to the city directly, even they need to take the paths if they are not confident in taking the city through the air.

After they reached the front path, they arrived at the forest patch first, so that Noah could set her formation up, while they are at it, Sam started creating some cursed wood elemental attacks. Even though he might not be as good as Noah when it comes to wood elemental energy attacks with her various modified seeds and stuff, he still has a decent foundation.

He started merging them with curses to get added effects and placed them there just to have some extra help.

They worked for a few hours and then went to a stone creek where Kumar's formation needs to be set up, even there Sam used the earth elemental curses he created with the help of the Myriad curse guide.

Finally, they went to the stone canyon.

This is where it took the longest of all three.

The whole canyon has some earth and dark elemental energy which would help him carry the curse properly.

He observed the canyon a bit and divided it into different sections and in each section, there would be a complex carrier curse with earth elemental energy.

The curses would start as soon as Sam identifies the person that came in as the target and then a chain reaction would be triggered.

Most of the curses are of pain, slumber, torture, and such and the earth element is mostly used to make physical damage. That would be from the rocky canyon walls, but after observing the whole area, he decided to set up curses on the pathway as well.

On the ground, he made an array of curses and combined them into one.

After he was done, it was already afternoon and they wore disguises as they moved to the city through this path.

When they neared the city gate though, the three of them were a bit surprised. At the city gate, the guards are searching for something on anyone that desired entry.

At first, they don't know what they are searching for, but it didn't take long for them to figure that out because someone had what they wanted.

The identity token of the Fiend tribe.

It seems like someone took a mission related to this city and wanted to enter it and got caught.

As the guard chief came and attacked him, the disguise was gone and the trio could even recognize the person who got caught.

This made them stop in their tracks and luckily they are far away from the gate and managed to understand their current situation.

The tokens are impossible to store in the spatial ring and Sam even tried using the divine dimension and for some reason, even that doesn't work, after studying a bit, he found out the reason. It is because there is an inscription that is making it unable to go through the spatial layer that opens up and connects between the spatial ring and the same principle applies to his divine dimension and even the space jades.

Sam looked at the guards who have beasts accompanying them while they occupied all sides of the gates and the city wall to make sure no one escapes if they got caught.

"What should we do now?"

Kumar asked anxiously as they hid in one of the creeks.

"We cannot leave these tokens. That is for sure." Sam replied as he thought.

"Why?"

"I will explain later, but believe me when I tell you, we shouldn't think of leaving the cards away for a long time."

"Then how are we going to enter the city. We need to access the second path and the city is the only way. If we need to go there from the other side, it would take another day or two. Should we just waste time? There are only fifteen days to deal with the Myriad Beast sect powers and we have already used up three days."

Noah said from the side.

Sam just stayed silent and thought to himself.

There is no way they can just abandon the tokens, if that happens, the consequences would be dire. Until a certain time, they couldn't abandon them.

But they need to make sure that they enter the city as well.

"How good is your disguising ability?"

Sam asked all of a sudden.

"It is decent, why?"

"Decent is not enough."

Then he took out the formation discs and started carving on them rapidly. He gave the discs to them and said.

"Both of you disguise yourself and get in, go to the inn operated by the sect and place these in two different areas and activate.

These two would give out some holograms of random people giving out an illusion that someone is attacking them.

So, you need to set up traps that would destroy and cause enough commotion."

He paused and took out a flare gun.

"Use this to shoot into the sky right before you activate the formations so that I would know.

After you activate these things, you shouldn't have any suspicions about you and you should be able to get out of the city from the rear path within ten minutes after activating the formation discs.

We have a margin of forty minutes, for which you could stay away from the tokens.

In these forty minutes, ten minutes would be consumed by the checking, you have twenty minutes to do what I told you to do and then ten minutes to escape. We need to meet after forty-five minutes you separate from the tokens at the latest."

They looked serious as they tried to get Sam's plan into their heads. They didn't know why they cannot stay away from the tokens for now, but they are sure that is not a good idea since Sam is that serious.

So, they agreed with Sam's plan and immediately made their move.

As soon as they got out of the creek after giving their tokens to Sam, they moved towards the city at a rapid pace.

They cut the line several times and acted like absolute brats to get to the front. After they finally did that, they finished the checking as fast as they can and ran towards the inn run by the Myriad beast sect.

Looking at them, everyone felt weird, but the guards didn't bother as there is no rule against running at full speed and the two of them acted as if they are racing for fun, so they didn't bother interrupting them and only kept an eye.
