Chapter 2299: More New entries



Sam looked at the young man who came from the other side of the hall.

He didn't look good. His armor is broken, and there are several wounds of various kinds all over his body.

He is panting heavily, with blood seeping out his mouth with every breath.

It is safe to say that he has a really rough time.

He stood on the neutral tile, similar to the one Sam stood when he just entered the room, as he checked the room out.

The first thing that caught his attention was of course the the large formation of barriers that are blocking the huge puppets. The puppets are banging and attacking the formations continuously creating a lot of noise.

So, they are hard to miss.

The next thing he saw were the golden pillars and the eye-catching lotuses.

He only noticed Sam after that. His eyes lit up for a moment, but it was immediately gone and was replaced with a frown.

Sam took his hand off the energy core and stood up.

"What is this place? What is the problem here?" The young man asked Sam.

Sam didn't answer immediately and looked at him up and down. Because he is one of the few people who was after Sam in the Norse city, he is from the Hel academy and to maintain this guy's ranking the people outside have been trying to kill Sam for the past few days.

Sam didn't answer his question and replied with something else instead.

"If you want to leave this place alive. Don't move from that spot. That is all you need to do.

If you interfere in my work, you will be dead. That's all I am going to say."

Sam didn't bother anymore and turned to examine the core once again.

"You fucking little..."

"I would hold that tongue if I were you. With all the annoyance you guys created in the past few days, I am not in a good mood. I might just do something to relieve that annoyance a bit. So, shut the fuck up and stand there."

He then closed his eyes, trying to get a more accurate picture of the energy network. It took an awful lot of time for him to understand it.

This is very troublesome.

Just like he expected, the formations created by the lotus petals are not just there to unlock the puppets. In fact, that is just the tip of the iceberg. An auxiliary task at best.

The real deal is the formations themselves. Individually, they are not such a big deal, they are just channeling the energy in a certain way. However, judging from the pattern each formation is creating and extrapolating from there, there are a bunch of possibilities that he could imagine and speculate and all of them are dangerous to him.

All these formations will be layered together and then create a killing formation.

Sam thought for a moment and turned to the other guy.

"How many stages did you go through while you came here?"

"Huh?" The young man looked at Sam in surprise, then he looked angry.

"You dare ask me something like that after all the nonsense you spewed?"

"Just answer the damn question. Do you want to get out of here or not? I am the only one who understands what is happening in this room and I don't believe a guy like you who wants to use the academy's power to secure a rank in the top ten is capable of understanding this in a short time.

And I dare say that even if you understand it, I can sabotage it before you can form a thought. So, answer the damn question quickly."

The young man gritted his teeth and said.

Sam observed the puppet from afar. The puppet didn't attack him directly like its

predecessors. Instead, it looked around. After some observation, it went straight towards the

Hel-Student.

"Fuck"

The student cursed and immediately decided to run. His direction was straight ahead,

towards Sam.

However, as soon as he took a step forward.

*GRRR*

A pillar came out of that tile and it pushed him up.

"WOAH..."

He exclaimed, with just one foot on the pillar as it rose up while he tried to balance himself.

Sam's face turned cold as he looked at the pillar that came out. It is golden in color and there are grooves, pins, and an energy core on the surfaces that he could see from there.

"Fuck. DON'T RUN BLINDLY YOU IDIOT"

Sam screamed at the Hel-Student who was about to get off the golden pillar and run on the floor. At the moment another twenty-eight golden pillars in different locations are coming out along with the golden lotuses on top.

Sam knew the puppet count is going to increase because of this. If the red pillars are blindly activated they will have fewer chances to trap the puppets and defend themselves.

The Hel-student couldn't care less and just jumped off the golden pillar.

He activated the immediate adjacent tile which turned into a red pillar. Sam wanted to kill that guy immediately, because the red pillar almost blocked the othe

surface. There is only a gap as big as a couple of fingers in between.

Sam couldn't hold back anymore and activated light fusion.

*SWOOSH*

He jumped off from the golden pillar and landed in the middle, activating a red pillar. From there, he jumped again to reach the red pillar on which the Hel-student is standing.

*CAW*

As the vulture closed in on them, he caught a hold of him and jumped back to the middle pillar along with him. While holding that guy like a sack on his shoulders, Sam started jumping around luring the vulture and trapping it in the middle with a formation.

He took a lot more pillars than he wanted.

'What a waste'

He thought to himself and ran back to the golden pillar. On his way back, he left the hel-

student on the nearest red pillar.

That guy is still in shock about what is happening.

After clinging to the golden pillar, Sam looked at the new set of golden pillars. He addressed

the Viswa-Student.

"I think you are the only other guy that has some brain cells left. You want to cooperate?"
