Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sam hid inside the reef for quite a while and soon he saw the Sea Folk search parties coming towards the reeves. He is finally relieved.

When the search parties looked at the poison cloud that was formed around the reef and also the parts of their watcher beasts, they thought that is guy is there.

They seem to have recognized the scent of blood too and Sam who is watching them with his eye technique at maximum saw some excitement in their eyes.

The team that came first surrounded the reef and they started communicating on what to do.

They are not speaking and there are barely any gestures or signs in their communication method, so Sam couldn't understand fully.

But they are about to take action, he understood that much.

Sam waited for this chance.

One of the team members of the Sea folk extended his hand and a large water spear was conjured from the surrounding water and shot towards the reef.

The surrounding water didn't offer any resistance to the spear and in fact, it aided its speed.

*CRASH*

*BOOM*

The crash and the explosion happened one after another and the explosion created some waves in the water that made the sea folks move a few feet back.

But that is not the main problem, the poison that was already in the surroundings and the poison that newly came out of the grenades was also blown away by the explosion and it moved towards the sea folk.

Some of them are already experiencing the effects as soon as they came into contact with it.

The poison is seeping into their skin and it started hurting. Even Sam who placed the poison was surprised, even when the poison that was being blown away came into slight contact with them, it is still effective.

They are extremely vulnerable to it. But it would be harder and harder to attack them with poison as time passed. At the end of the day, the poison has to either go through the water or Sam had to inject it directly into their bodies.

The first case can be easily overcome as long as the other party concentrated on the water properly.

As for the second case, he still hasn't engaged in close combat with them. It is difficult to estimate the difficulty of this action.

But the current goal was achieved because soon the surrounding sea folk that is searching in different areas are all coming due to the explosion. They are sensitive to water and they could guess the scale of the explosion that caused enough waves.

As soon as the surrounding people all diverted their attention to the small reef, Sam came out and reached the blind spot that was given by the large reef and started swimming rapidly in the direction where the sea folk team came from.

After he swam for a few minutes, he encountered two Sea folk in front of him. But this time he didn't hide, he decided to test the waters with them, at least one of them.

He took out a vial of poison and activated the water elemental fusion as he moved towards the duo.

The duo also reacted fast enough and their speed is not any less than Sam.

They are fast and their instincts are very sharp as they made a move at Sam.

When both of them are near Sam, he broke the glass vial and took out a glass of dagger. He decided to test their resistance against the physical attacks.

The sudden appearance of poison made a bit of trouble for them and particularly one of them took the brunt of it. Sam focused on the second sea folk and stabbed him where the poison didn't affect him.

It felt like the dagger was stabbed into a thick jelly and there is a lot of resistance, but there is a clear expression of pain in the sea folk's eyes and Sam could faintly discern a telepathic scream that even reached his mind directly.

It seems like the Sea folk accidentally slipped the scream into his mind too.

Sam hurried up and attacked with different stabs covered in different elements. The water element has the least resistance and poison has a good effect.

The lightning element provided a good paralyzing effect and also this Gel-like state which made it hard for him to stab, was also halted for a second because of that.

The fire element has the highest resistance, the ice element has a different effect, the metal element enhanced the stabbing with its force and the earth element is the same but less effective.

There are no other special effects on their bodies, it is an only lightning elemental energy that has some effect.

Sam finished off the two as the navy blue blood seeped into the water. He threw the dead bodies in the divine dimension to take them with him. He also tried to clear as much blood as possible as he collected the surrounding water and throwing it into the lake.

He then started swimming as he went deeper and deeper.

Even after a few hundred meters, he didn't come into contact with any other creature. It seems like he finally crossed the initial defense line and entered the sea.

The water is not as clear as it is in the shallow area and he couldn't see too deep. All he can do is use the eye techniques and the light element to see a significant distance and most of the time he is focused on the seafloor to see if he could find anything.

He did encounter some beasts. But most of the time Sam completely ignored them.

Soon he reached a certain distance where he found something significant. He swam to the seafloor and found some debris from the ship to hide from what he saw in a distance.

He also changed his breathing device after taking one deep breath from the first one. He activated his eye technique to the limit and looked.

There is a large hemispherical bubble on the seafloor far away and there is some Sea folk riding on the sea horses and other fish-type beasts as they scouted the surroundings and stood guard.

Sam doesn't know if he is overreading into the situation, but they are pretty lax.

He focused even more on the bubble.

The bubble is not devoid of water. In fact, it is filled with even more water and there is a faint glow that is giving a better vision of what is inside the bubble.

Inside the bubble, there are large egg-shaped pods that are glowing even more.

There is a large pile of corpses of centaurs, elves, humans along with an even more number of sea creatures placed inside another smaller bubble.

Some sea folks are moving from this bubble while carrying a corpse in an even smaller bubble not letting the blood leak out as they entered the large bubble, they went to the egg pods and started digging on the seafloor and placed the corpse inside and covered the hole up.

The egg pod started glowing even more.

Soon, almost all the corpses are gone. Only four to five corpses remained.

Sam now understood why they are taking all the corpses from the seashore.

He just stayed low under the ship debris.

There is not a single skeleton present in the ship. Every single part is corroded and weak with a lot of algae covering the surface of the parts.

It has been here for quite a few years.

But this is not an optimum place for staying. Soon the search parties in the front will definitely suspect that Sam went past the first line and will start searching the obvious hiding places. Before that, he has to find a way to check what is inside those pods and get past the area to check even deeper.

He waited for a while and he can see the growing unrest. These hundreds of Sea folk are being deployed and as the time passed by he could estimate that the search party would soon reach his area and he wouldn't able to hide.

But the search party didn't come. Instead, he noticed that there is unrest at the corpse bubble where the corpses are placed.

The Sea folk seemed to be gesturing something and almost all of them started moving. There are only a dozen sea folks left near the bubble to guard while the rest of them left.

It is already way past noon and it should be soon the evening. Another night of war would be happening on the shore, but now it seemed to have started earlier for some reason.

But Sam is not worried, in fact, he is even a bit happy because of this.

After the troops left, Sam came out of his hiding and started swimming to the large bubble. But this time, he held the harpoon gun in his hands.
