Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

The battle went on.

It is extremely intense. The Minotaurs, the undead, the vampire servants, the humans, the beasts. Every creature involved was battling crazily. The whole town was colored with blood all over.

Even the water canals are filled with blood and the blue algae are having the time of their lives. They are feasting on the blood, flesh, and bones.

The whole situation turned chaotic. The Dwarves are using the terrain and tricks to their advantage. The Vampires and Minotaurs felt the danger of water for the first time. They didn't expect that a town having a stream flowing through it could be made this deadly with just few tricks.

They are having the worst days of their lives.

The Vampires, couldn't take it anymore, they are just waiting desperately for the night. All they could think is that this would be over as soon as the night arrived because they would be able to kill Sam and his friends, crumbling the chain of command.

But what they don't know is, even Sam and his friends are waiting for the night. They are waiting for the Vampires and their servants to take complete action so that they could flex their muscles a bit.

By evening, the Pre-transcendent stage Minotaurs managed to reach the third ring all the while battling the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators of the dwarves.

They didn't want fight in the first of second ring as they are suffering from casualties of the aftershocks.

They are already suffering immense losses and dwarves are deliberately luring them to kill their own kind.

That is why they tried their best to drag the battle deeper into the town as they thought, they could do the same to the residents of the town. After all, they are ignorant about the whereabouts of the residents and though they are within the houses inside the town.

But they didn't meet them.

The Pre-transcendent stage Minotaurs are higher in number compared to the dwarves in the town. But they still managed to hold their own against them until they reached a clearing they made.

Inside that clearing, Philip is sitting while a large Golden bird is standing beside him.

That is none other than Yanwu.

Even though the Minotaurs felt like they lured the dwarves to the inner ring, it is actually a ploy. The dwarves made it look like that with Sam's instructions. This is another ability of the crystal table.

Sam noticed that he could use his energy and spiritual sense to send the information directly to the mind of someone within the range and tagged as an ally to him within the table.

He managed to guide them to fight in a way to lure them inside the town and send them to special areas that are specifically made for fighting these Pre-transcendent stage cultivators.

The three Minotaurs are a bit surprised but they didn't care much and went directly to attack Philip and Yanwu, who retaliated in kind.

Sam's situations are happening in various other places. Watt was accompanied by Sky and Falck as they are in charge of air defense from Pre-transcendent stage beasts.

Arman was paired with Raiju, Mia is in charge of the stream, Dia is assigned with Jack. Shadow mice are there to help with some grenades and such, Zoi termites are in the first ring along with locusts.

The battles intensified particularly where Sam's teammates are stationed.

  Each spot is being attacked by at least three Minotaurs and they are fighting them vigorously. Luckily there are still rules in place. Or more like the Minotaurs couldn't afford to employ the higher level cultivators other than the early stage Pre-transcendent stage experts in this place.

But they should have done that as a combination of a Mythical beast and Sam's friends are not to be taken lightly. The battle was completely one-sided and the Minotaurs are already suffering.

But the Vampires are still stubborn, they are satisfied with the current situation.

Even though the minotaurs are having a disadvantage, they are satisfied that they are occupying the hands of Sam's friends. All they want to do currently is make Sam isolated and this time, they planned to attack as a group of six.

So, right now the arrival of the night is the only thing that is stopping them.

And soon the time arrived.

As soon as the sunset, the six vampires turned into puffs of smoke and moved towards the town.

They crossed the first ring efficiently as for the second ring, even they didn't dare to enter that water with vitality, so they used some flying beasts that looked like Bats to cross over swiftly and soon, they arrived at the town head's mansion as they avoided Sam's friends and directly entered the mansion.

Soon, they are right in front of Sam within the large hall.

They are all focused on him with enormous killing intent.

Sam just stood on his chair while still looking at the battle. He didn't even bother with the six vampires.

He just casually operated the formations and the tricks he placed in various places of the town.

The Vampires, particularly the ones that attacked him previously are looking at him with a hateful gaze while the remaining three are focused enough to notice what Sam is doing, their eyes fell on the crystal table.

They didn't expect something like this would be in Sam's hands, their eyes are filled with greed.

Sam looked at them at this moment and said.

"This thing looks great right? It also works great. It can show you what couldn't be seen normally. Like this."

Sam said as he zoomed into a spot and there a bat is hanging on a tree right beside Philip's area of battle. The Vampires were stumped.

This is one of their beasts, sent there to ambush Philip. Sam just continued without caring.

"And it also allows doing something that normally can't be done, like this."

With that, he zoomed to the town head mansion in the holographic image and showed the view of the hall they are in. He first placed his finger on the main door, which immediately closed. And they noticed that there is a mirror attached to the door.

Sam didn't just stop there and started touching the pillars within the holographic image and the mirror started appearing. The seats, the pictures, and even the ceiling, the walls. All turned out to be mirrors under the illusion. Now their mirror forms are revealed.

Sam once again looked into their eyes and spoke.

"Do you guys really think, that your journey would be so easy? Do you really think that you entered this place because of your superiority? You are here because I let you in.

And I let you in because I prepared something for you."

As soon as he spoke, his body glowed with golden light, as he activated the partial light fusion.

He leisurely took out a small metal stand that is almost the size of a normal candle stand and took out a crystal that has many faces on that stand.

He placed his right index finger on top of that crystal and let out a faint light. The transparent crystal turned golden giving out a faint hue.

Sam looked at the six vampires who don't know what is happening playfully.

After his previous encounter with Vampires, Sam thought long and hard about how to deal with them. He doesn't want to tangle with them directly, they are strong and Sam would have to exert so much energy to deal with them even if they are two on one and if they are three on one, he would have to resort to dangerous alternatives or the chessboard.

But he doesn't want to collect everyone and anyone. He has to use that chessboard as a trump card and only if he wanted to collect someone truly interesting.

Then he remembered the light element attacks that have immense effect on them. It is like a virus for them.

Light element attacks are not common, in fact, they are too rare to the point most of the people in the universe don't know it is even possible. But for Sam it is possible. In fact, it is one of his most used and most dangerous modes of attack.

So, why would he tangle with them when he can prepare for their attack when he is particularly bane to their existence?

That is how he laid this trap and he made it so deliberately that they wouldn't be able to escape.

Sam shot a laser beam through that index finger. The laser beam diverged into several beams and came out of the crystal as it hit various mirrors and with just a single tilt of his finger, six beams shot towards the six vampires before they could make sense of what is happening around them.

And just like that, they suffered their first strike.

The only problem is, even though it is painful the six vampires are still standing, The intensity of the attacks was reduced quite a bit due to this much divergence. But Sam was not worried instead, he grinned with mischief, while the vampires who are clearly safe for now couldn't help but feel terror gripping their throats.

"Let's begin our game shall we? We are going to have so much fun."
