Chapter 2295: Empty Room



Sam might not have enough space to move around, but the energy beam mesh as dense as it is in the tunnel, still left a few gaps on the floor, the walls and even in the air.

These gaps are enough for his pins to move around. If he is moving them solely with the help of his spiritual energy or even wind energy, then it would be a bit troublesome. However, his metal element has magnetic ability.

He can control these metal pins as easily as using his fingers.

First he focused the metal pins at only one area. They created a small formation in a gap where the energy beam density is relatively less.

In that spot, only one beam is close to the formation while the rest are a bit far away. To test something out, he created a very small, but extremely refined energy gathering formation.

The energy gathering formation is one of the most basic and simplest formations that ever existed. Their purpose is extremely straightforward. They just need to gather energy in the surrounding atmosphere.

Unless the energy is way over the limit, they just absorb to the full extent and stay like a full charged battery. At the moment, from what Sam could see and observe, the energy beams are just condensed energy.

They are very similar to the beams that Sam can create for attacking others.

However, these are condensed with the help of a bunch of formations combined together. So, in a way they are just a dense flow of energy.

So, Sam is hoping that he could disturb that dense flow through the formation.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

And it turned out his hunch is right. As soon as the formation was activated, the energy beam closest to the formation started gathering fluctuation. The width of the beam which was as thick as a thumb has reduced slightly. The reduction is not exactly significant, but it is something.

Sam waited as the formation charged up at a great speed. He realized that it might really overload because of the excess energy and might just explode, and who knows what kind of disaster it will trigger in this tunnel?

So, Sam hurriedly made the adjustments.

Metal pins flew from the storage and they started falling around the existing formation. Sam is adding an extra layer of energy gathering there, increasing its capacity. This added layer increased the energy absorption.

Now, Sam could see a significant reduction in the width of the energy beam.

Not just that, there is something else that was really interesting for Sam to see. The energy beam basically originated at the wall. And the formation he arranged is just a few inches away from him. So, when he initially placed the formation, the energy directly came from the base.

It just reduced the beam diameter a little bit.

But with the extra layer, he saw it. The beam at the base is actually of the same diameter, but a few inches away from the base, within the area of the influence of the gathering formation, the energy beam is being effected.

As the suction power increased, the energy beam almost split into two.

So, from the base, it came as a single energy beam, after a few inches, in split into two. One went in the original path and the other went towards the formation.

Sam immediately got another idea.

"I don't know which sick guy designed this, but I will definitely have my share of fun with

him. Just what the hell was he thinking."

He muttered out loud and closed his eyes.

*RATATATATA*

The energy gathering formations are vibrating, their energy gathering capacity is reaching its

limit and they might just explode at any moment.

Sam tried to ignore the noise as well as the increasing spiritual energy levels in his

surroundings.

*BUZZZ*

Then he heard the buzzing sound reach its highest. He could sense the formation layers

cracking a bit.

*CLICK*

And then the puzzle was unlocked.

*SWOOSH*

As soon as the small crack opened in the door... he turned into a shadow to cross it. But he was blocked by the invisible force.

He braced for the explosion, however, it wasn't there. The door opened wide and he could see it. The energy output is decreasing at a rapid pace and it went back to the original level. Sam smiled at this and left the formations as they are. In fact, he even left another formation at the place he was initially standing before he walked past it.

The door locked behind him and he found himself in a large empty room. It is as large as a dozen basketball courts. There is nothing he could see there.

The walls are plain and clean. There are no doors, no grooves that he could see. No cracks, no patterns. The only thing that is eyecatching about the room are the large tiles of the floor. Each tile is a square with area of around a square meter. It is not exactly big, but it is not that small either. For some reason, Sam had a bad feeling to step on any other square other than the one he is standing in.

He wanted to explore the room while levitating. And he believed that with all the shit that he has seen in the previous rounds, it would be pure idiocy to not think that there might be something dangerous hidden underneath this.

He levitated in the air and moved a few feet forward.

*BAM*

An invisible force slammed into the ground. He fell flat face first. Sam didn't even have a chance to try and gain control before he fell face first into that cold stone floor. And to his bad luck, as he fell his hand fell a bit out of the square tile he was standing in.
