Chapter 2306: Torture
Sam stood his ground after the initial jerk of the excessive gravity.
It is not something he cannot handle, he was caught off guard because of the way he fell into the room. Once he got his balance back, he looked around. The whole room looked squeaky clean.
Cleaner than its original state.
All the inscriptions are dissolved into the walls.
Sam activated his energy vision and looked around. The walls still looked clean, but when he looked at the ground and ceiling, he saw small portions of both glowing. The pattern of the glow is same shape as the runes inscribed.
It seemed like the other party didn't think too much and just believed that the inscriptions are hidden properly.
Sam took out his inscription pen again and first levitated to reach the ceiling.
As he placed the nib on the glowing inscription pattern, a few sparks rose.
*CRACKLE*
The sparks are close to brown in color, indicating the earth element. Sam's hand glowed with earth element as he forcefully drew on the wall.
*JOLT*
He took a small jerk of energy that came out as recoil since he pushed through the already active inscription. But he didn't care. He anticipated it and was ready for it. So, he didn't take any damage. As soon as he made the changes he wanted, he hurriedly came down.
*BOOM*
A small explosion occurred. It is not impactful enough. It just barely broke the surface of the ceiling. It didn't break it down completely.
But it did its job, the inscription is no longer working. However, Sam felt the effects of other inscriptions.
He could feel those effects. The air inside is heating up. The energy around his has thinned, and he could feel some invisible force attacking his mind.
But Sam ignored them and worked on the second gravity inscription which is still active on the floor.
*BOOM*
Another explosion resulted in a few more inscriptions getting active. Sam took a step forward to examine one of them.
*BOOM*
A fire ball came out from a corner. He dodged it and expected it to hit the other ide of the room, but it didn't. Instead, it went past him, took a turn and came back.
Sam dodged to the side and stepped on something else.
*BOOM*
Another fire ball out of a different corner. Sam dodged them and looked at the corners with his energy vision. There is a small array of inscriptions active, controlling the fire balls. *SWOOSH*
He dashed to the corner and used fire element on his pen.
such an ominous dark light, he became anxious for a moment.
He scratched his neck as he started observing the ring that is glowing. The only thing he understood is that the ring is a single inscription.
He started scratching his arm as irritation crept in. The fact that he couldn't even figure out what is happening and what kind of inscription this is made him feel like an idiot.
At least, in a couple of seconds, he figured one of those questions. He realized that he is scratching all over his body, without even knowing.
There is one part of his hand, where he almost scratched the skin off.
He tried to stop, but he couldn't. If he left a spot on his skin without scratching, he felt like he would lose his mind, he dropped his inscription pen down and scratched vigorously. In just thirty seconds, there are several wounds on his body.
At that time, the second circle glowed. It is equally ominous if not more.
He felt a burning feeling all over his body and it is more intense in the wounds that he inflicted on himself. But the itchy feeling didn't stop. In fact, it increased. He kept on scratching creating more wounds and feeling that intense burning pain. Another thirty-seconds later, the third circle lit up. Now, he felt a different sensation. Previously, his enhanced healing and regeneration that came with his cultivation were trying
to reduce his wounds.
Now with the third circle it is gone.
Only then did he understand how much relief his natural regeneration has been providing
him. Once it is gone, the pain almost made him pass out. But he couldn't. He felt like some
force is making his mind stay active.
Then he felt another effect of the third circle.
Black vapor started seeping out of his wounds. They are becoming corroded with some
invisible energy.
Thirty seconds later.
His blood became thinner and his heart race increased pumping it more and more.
He screamed and rolled on the ground.
By now, the spectators who initially thought this guy is just an idiot because of his blank
expression are showing expressions of pity and the more experienced ones understood
something more.
"Sam... the ease he is handling the room, he can break out of it any time he wants. He is just
passing time." One of them muttered in a low voice.
The others also understood. There is only one reason they could think for Sam to just pass
some time.
To torture his opponent more until he dies.
