Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 1717: Waves of Flames

Sam injected his energy a bit more into the blanket before he took out his tapestry needles. He connected the needles to the formation.

Soon, both Sam and Vice noticed the people from that side are already on their way. They seemed to have tripped a couple of traps Sam set up. But they are not really that complicated or dangerous. So, they came past them really easily.

But of course, they had to spend some energy, get on very slight but irritating injuries and finally feel extremely frustrated.

After they cross it, they are now in front of Sam. All of them were out and exposed in this large open area they prepared.

And just from the look of it, there are twenty people. It is a large team.

"It seems like they have a lot of troops."

Sam muttered and looked for a guy who resembled the leader of the troops.

He took a quick look into the memories of Brice and realized that this guy is actually quite a bit famous. He is the righthand man of the young mistress of one of the clans. He is an Ice elemental user and he has quite a few victories under his belt.

"This is such a great coincidence. A battle with a perfect counter. Let's see how it goes."

Sam muttered and he checked the tapestry needles one last time.

Meanwhile, the leader on the otherside also Sam. He didn't expect that Brice would be here, but the even more surprising thing is that Brice is there along with just one more person.

He gestured his subordinates to stop them from advancing any further. He could sense that there is no one else in the surroundings from a basic scan.

They might have been hiding with high-level stealth.

And the fact that Brice is standing in the middle of the open field like a well-laid bait is making him question if there are some people really hiding to snipe them out.

Even though they got the info that there are not many people on Brice's team, he started questioning everything. He is very doubtful and cautious.

Sam who is waiting in the middle of the field, got a bit impatient.

"What is it, buddy? Are you coming or not? How long do you want me to wait here for?"

The leader felt even more suspicious.

Sam seemed to have understood what he was thinking and sighed.

"Alright, alright. I will clear your doubts."

As he finished speaking, he slammed his hands with the needles. The fire elemental energy spread through the blanket in different directions.

The energy spread and went through some metamorphosis before it converged at the nodes of the formation.

The flames gathered at the nodes and…

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

Flaming explosions spread to all directions except for the direction that the opponents were in and of course the direction that Vice was standing in.

The surrounding forest caught on the flame as everything and anything in the way started burning to cinders.

There is not a single living organism present in those flames. The leader was surprised by Brice's move. He widened his eyes and opened his mouth in extreme disbelief.

The rest of his team might not be aware of Brice and his abilities, but he is very keen and knowledgeable about it. To see Brice use such a unique method made him rethink all the information he had.

As he was thinking, he looked around for one last time and thought about the attack. The attack is solely dependent on the formation and it is made by Brice only through the formation. He made some quick calculations and gave a command.

"Everyone, be careful. We are going to enter the formation. Activate the anti-formation discs. If we capture Brice, we will be getting a hold over his part of the territory in this valley as well. The contributions and rewards will be huge.

We are going there in a Trident formation. I will lead the middle, the other two teams attack him from the side.

As for Vice, our Vice-captain can handle him easily. Be careful, there is a reason why I remember his name. And make sure to keep him in check, even if you cannot defeat him. He is way too loyal to Brice and if he gets out while we are capturing Brice, he will become a rabid dog.

I don't want to lose any troops."

The leader moved his forces.

Sam looked at the obvious trident formation. The leader is obviously leading through the middle, straight ahead with six more people. And the remaining two fronts have six members each. A total of nineteen and the Vice-captain who is going for Vice.

Vice met his opponent with the sword as he looked at Brice, he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. He was almost ready to take out the communication device to call his colleagues.

But Sam spoke out loud.

"Don't call them. I already told you the plan. Just let me have some fun alright."

As he spoke, he looked at the opponent leader with a grin and his face.

Fire elemental energy went through his body. The flames surrounded him and held him up in the air, slightly levitating. His whole body is being carried by fire elemental energy. The needles he is holding are also surrounded by flames and took the shape of rope as it is connected to the rest of the energy blanket Sam laid down before.

The energy fabric around him is glowing with flames waiting for Sam's movements to activate them.

He shook both of his hands up and down and a large firewall appeared around him. A few arrows shot by the opponents from all three sides were burned to a crisp before they could reach him. And the next moment, he swung both of those arms once again.

The flames moved along the blanket like waves as they hit the three groups of opponents.

The flaming wave was met with an ice wall in the middle, while the other people tried to block it in some other way. The ice wall was then converted into multiple ice spears and was thrown at Sam.

The attacks are also backed by spear strikes, arrows, and many more.

They are moving very slowly since they believed that they are in the middle of Brice's formation. And the attacks are like volleys.

Sam is blocking the projectile attacks and he threw the flame waves that made their advance even slower. The fight is extremely boring.

Both parties thought so. Vice stopped getting worried at this point. But only until the opponents made it through halfway.

"Finally, couldn't you be any slower?"

Sam muttered to himself as he swung both of his arms. Three fireballs flew away from him as they destroyed three spears that were coming at him.

"Now let's see how you fare against this."

Sam's energy rose to the peak. His whole body entered the fire elemental fusion. His altitude increased as the grin on his face widened.

The blanket started glowing with fire elemental energy. After the initial red glow, the fibers of the fabric changed in a way that left gaps exactly where the people stood.

The red glow lightened up the whole area and in that darkness, it created quite a view.

Everyone in the scene was surprised by this sudden change. Particularly the energy captain. He didn't expect such a development. He couldn't even fathom what is happening. While he is trying to wrap his head around this, Sam started spreading his flames.

The streak of fire spread across the fibers and fabric as it went in different directions. The individual streaks went straight at the opponents. The nineteen streaks were continuous and all of them had to block.

The remaining streaks on the other hand went in different directions as they traveled across the fabric and hit the formation nodes.

These streaks converged together and combined into more complex and powerful streaks of flame.

The concentration intensified so much that the color of the flame changed completely. It has a different shade of red.

Just when the opponents are shocked and pressured by the flaming streaks, to the point that the captain who is using his ice ball is not even able to keep the streak at bay with its heat, the new and more powerful streak came to them on the fabric from the nodes.

All of this happened within a split second before they could even understand what is happening.

The flame streaks were, of course, continuous and then there are some more stray streaks that escaped in this second wave as well and all of these streaks are gathered in three nodes.

The color changed to almost crimson. And these three streaks hit the three people in the lead of this trident attack.

The captain and the other two people.

"FUCK"

The captain quickly created a large thick ice wall that looked a completely different shade of blue to block the attack. But the remaining two were unable to do that.
