Chapter 2331: Semi Finals



Shock

Surprise

Bewilderment

Imagine all the words that can used synonymously for surprise and you will see the expression of all the second graders. Only a few people are not really surprised. Because ever since this Set academy guy started fighting, people are wondering how they can counter that.

Not just the second grade people, even some third grade and some rare fourth grades are also wondering how to counter him. Because a lot of them didn't even understand the ability. Some did understand it, but couldn't figure out a counter.

Rashma who usually acts like a barbaric brute has figured it out a lot faster than most people.

That confident kick is the direct representation of her understanding.

As for what the ability is...

The other guy also has a rare constitution. His body can turned into a specter at his will. In a way it is kind of a fusion form with soul energy.

That is the most apt analogous description anyone could give. He has inherently shit tons of soul energy and he can use it in a much more versatile way. The added benefit is that he has a higher stealth than a regular specter.

He can be undetected for a lot longer and he wouldn't be emitting death energy like a specter does.

So, it is a great stealth and of course, he can also create illusions using that soul energy. Sam knew it because of the Hub. There is no credit to his own intellect or anything else. And it is debatable now if he can really detect him easily in the span of a few minutes.

That aside, Rashma detected his trick almost immediately.

There are a few ways one could deal with specter.

Battle of soul power. A mental battle essentially.

Using light energy.

Using volatile spiritual energy, similar to the void style or even energy bullets. After all, they are just manifested energy forms.

So, they will work. Sam noticed that Rashma is cleverly using a combination of first and third options.

She is physically manifesting her soul power into her body and then making it much more volatile when attacking. That is what he saw in her kick. And he barely managed to catch him. The moment that kick landed, the opponent felt like his soul has been really kicked out of his body.

He could feel it.

The burning sensation deep in his soul.

He looked at Rashma who just stood there calmly. His face is full of doubt and a million questions ran through his head.

His body was about to turn transclucent, when Rashma made her move once again.

*BAM*

She stomped on his chest.

*CRACK*

The stage cracked and his body slipped into the cracks. He used that chance to turn his body into the spectral form before seeping into the stage. But...

*BOOM*

She threw another kick, this time towards the stage.

*CRACK*

The stage cracked open completely and the force of the kick attacked the opponent who was in that ethereal form. He came out coughing blood like a lunatic. Even his eyes are bleeding. His soul has been attacked and his brain is effected.

He is only all fours, coughing and trying to breathe.

*SWOOSH*

One mantis exploded, its exoskeleton is destroyed by the inscription's energy. The other

mantis lost a couple of joints losing its blades.

Third and one fourth had relatively less damage.

But the cracks could be seen.

*SWOOSH*

A bird is already in front of Sam. He didn't even see when the opponent has summoned it. But

Sam manuevered around it and shot it on the head point blank.

*BOOM*

Its head exploded and fell down towards the mantises.

The two mantises cut through the birds and jumped at him.

*BOOM*

Sam shot the first one, its head exploded and its blade went through the second one, killing it.

Then he aimed his gun towards his back over his shoulder and shot.

*BOOM*

*SCREEECH*

A specter appeared and it was burned by the vitality of the light energy.

Sam didn't wait and aimed at the ground to shoot.

*BOOM*

Flaming explosions came out of the ground along with the corpses of the burning Mud worm

type beasts. Sam blew the non-existent smoke off the barrel of his guns as he looked at the

opponent, taunting him.

These undead are indeed powerful.

For the people who don't know how to handle them. One of the greatest things about these

undead creature is that they are enhanced, way too much in fact. Most of them are covered with inscriptions. For run of a mill combatant, understand the inscriptions, analyzing them and finally using them against the undead will take a long time.

For Sam...

It is easy. Not just because he is good at inscriptions, but rather most of the inscriptions on

these undead creatures are designed in the hub.

That's right. This guy is also a frequent user of the hub and he enhanced most of the undead

he carries using the hub's resources.

So, all Sam had to do is jog down his memory a bit and *BOOM*

He can remember the weak spot of the undead like his own signature.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

Three more shots and three specters that came it burned in the vitality. Sam's smiled widened. He hovered in the hair, looking at the opponent. He definitely didn't

want to finish it fast. He is taking his sweet time.
