Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sivan instantly activated the space element. He wanted to use the spatial blink to escape from the spot.

But as soon as he activated the element, he suddenly felt that something is wrong. The energy orbs disconnected the coils and went back to keeping a barrier around him.

And the very next moment right when the blink was about to be activated, energy needles came out of the orbs and stabbed Sivan in various spots.

The spatial energy stopped in the middle. His blinking was halted and he was stuck in that place. Sivan was shocked instantly. He looked at Sam in horror and used his observation ability on himself.

The needles are puncturing him at the meridian points that leaked the spatial energy out of his body making it impossible for him to use the blink.

The needles went back and the orbs once again created those coils of energy that started harassing Sivan again.

Sivan desperately started throwing flame attacks, lightning attacks, and metal attacks, he even tried to cut the coils off with the sword and saber, but it didn't work out.

The coils acted like they are made of some extremely elastic fabric, it is almost impossible for him to tear it in an instant, and even if he managed to break it somehow, it is just regenerating.

The coils started sanding off of his skin at every spot possible. If not for the feather coat being there, his whole body would have been flayed by now.

Sivan thought of something and immediately activated fire elemental fusion. His body turned into a mass of golden flames and even the feather coat reacted well with that as the black feathers turned into golden color.

As the coils went past his exposed parts now, it didn't cause as much pain, but it is still affecting his fusion body.

He wanted to manipulate the body into a small ball of flames and escape through the gaps. But as soon as the transformation started, the orbs once again created a barrier and a bunch of needles are shot out of them.

All the needles once again stabbed him at various points over his body. The needles are thin enough to ignore the feather coat and go in through the gaps. And Sam is quick enough to not let the coat's spirit reduce the gaps forcefully and managed to penetrate into his body.

The needles started creating energy ripples consistently. This made Sivan feel a different kind of pain he never experienced. And the whole experience is like a flame being extinguished. Before he could even try to make sense of what is happening, he felt his fire elemental fusion disappearing completely.

He is back to normal and the pain only continued to become harsher and more severe.

Sam looked at Sivan who is struggling and sighed.

This time this is a sigh of relief.

This is over. He won.

Sivan looked at Sam who is clearly not cautious anymore and became angrier. He wanted to scream, but he couldn't. Because a needle is focused on the throat and it is sending the energy ripples which makes it impossible for him to let out a single sound.

Sam looked at Sivan with a smile. It is a smile or intrigue.

He wants to see Sivan's genuine reaction regarding all of this. He wanted to see if he will despair or feel angry or if it will self-disappointment.

But the first reaction he got is actually confusion. It almost feels like Sivan is unable to comprehend the fact that he lost.

And Sam could actually understand his confusion. It is impossible for someone who has had the upper hand since the start of the battle to end up in a situation like this as soon as Sam took the initiative.

It is almost like he has been played since the start.

But that wouldn't exactly be accurate.

Sam stood up with the help of the staff and spoke.

"You really did great Sivan. You acted better than I could have ever imagined. All the information I got from your soul only made me see you as a scheming person whose competence lies in manipulating and using others.

But today, I am really convinced. You are a worthy foe. You managed to find a way to create things that I never thought you could, you managed to master the techniques that I never thought you would even understand.

And you even managed to utilize back-to-back bloodline arts. That is very impressive.

You even tried to think things from my shoes while dealing with me, that is much more impressive.

But there is one thing you didn't account for. I know that body better than you. I know its strengths and I know its weaknesses.

You might think that it is invincible among my peers and it is true, but only when I am the one utilizing it.

And since I know how to utilize it, I just need to think about how to stop it. And right now I just did it.

No matter what kind of damage you make to that body, I can absolutely recover it after I take it back from you. So, do your worst and try to struggle as much as possible. But do remember that this is your defeat."

Sam's words felt like swords slicing him to his bone. Sivan felt embarrassment, anger, despair, and rage all mixed together.

He wanted to escape, but he cannot bring himself to move around at all.

He felt like a trapped animal.

At this moment, he heard something from his communication token.

"Sivan, you need to withdraw the troops. We are about to make our move."

Sivan heard this and wanted to reply, but the sound didn't come out of his throat. His words are stuck.

Sam walked forward and the needles from the orbs started penetrating the flesh more and more. Sivan started bleeding profusely and he felt like he is about to lose consciousness.

But at this moment, Sam sensed an immense danger which made him escape instantly.

*BOOM*

A massive explosive flame landed somewhere near them and all that hit the two of them is the aftershock, but even that appeared tyrannical and destructive. Sam felt like his life was being sucked out of him and crashed into a rock. He even made a massive shield in front of him with what was left of his power, but he couldn't help but feel like he was being crushed.

Sivan was also broken out of the barrier made of orbs and crashed into the ground. He felt his bones being crushed and the blood still draining out of his body.

He is barely conscious. But he didn't dare let this chance go. He instantly took out a transference token and activated it.

While he was transferring, he turned to the soldiers and yelled with all of the energy he was left with.

"ALL OF YOU RETREAT TO THE CAMP. RIGHT NOW."

He disappeared from the spot and all the team leaders the soldiers started leading their troops back to the camp.

None of them dared to slack off and they even acted instantly to the point of leaving some enemies that are on verge of death without killing them.

Sam came back to his senses and looked into the horizon from where the attack came.

A grand elder from the Mari clan is the one that attacked him.

It is an old man hovering in the air looking at Sam coldly. But at this moment, a fist came from behind him and went through his heart. He is dead in an instant.

Gail threw the old man's body and looked at the Sonic cat. The cat nodded and went after the other people within the grand elder group as they are escaping.

Gail made his way to Sam and carried him towards the wall.

Sam took out his communication token while he is still on Gail's shoulder to contact senior elder Ma.

"Use the final attack sequences in the exact order. The enemies are retreating right now."

"Alright."

"After that, use the contingency plan 8."

"Really? Plan 8?"

"Yes. It is necessary. Sivan is out. If he is the person I know he is, then he is going to use that one weapon out of spite. So, you need to use that plan."

"Then, I will inform everyone. You called the clan's leader."

"Sure."

Sam cut the line and contacted the clan's leader.

"Sivan escaped. Activate Contingency Plan 8."

"Alright. Activating it immediately."

Unlike Ma, the clan leader didn't ask any more questions.

He just immediately passed orders and before Sam even reached the wall, every single one of the soldiers already got a notification from their superiors. They all started running into the city and they all moved to different corners.

Sam was left on the wall for a moment as he looked into the horizon towards the camp.

"I am not going to let you go.

This shall be the final confrontation with all our cards on the table. Let's see who wins this war."
