Chapter 2341: Trapping the Snake
Crow nodded and said.
"I see your rationale, but I did want to see some action. I don't know if we would be able to get that high if we just focused on tricks.
And there is a chance that someone might just get a hint at your plan and counter it. You might want to think about that, if we go ahead with it."
"Don't worry about the action. I am sure you will get enough of it. If all you want to do is show off to the world, then I can create more than enough opportunities. I am the spectators outside will definitely enjoy it.
As for the counter...
I do believe some people in the competition have similar plans. As we are speaking, there are some people who are trying to map the pocket dimension just like I did. Some are gathering with their teammates.
Some are forming temporary alliances.
Based on my speculations, they are going with similar plans. They will examine the environment, try to use it to their advantage and then deal with the rest.
Their approaches will be different of course.
Anyway, if we are going to stick together, then we have some priorities in the targets we choose."
"Let me guess, Zeus academy."
Sam smiled and replied.
"You are absolutely right. First let's knock those fuckers out. Their team is not exactly at its strongest state. The three candidates are just a bit above mediocrity, not far from it though. Dealing with them is a piece of cake.
I already have the locations and the first one is way too easy to deal with at the moment.
You want to go?"
"Your wish."
Sam placed his hand on Crow's back, enveloping both of them with the spatial energy.
Meanwhile, far away in the pocket dimension, there is large lake within which there is a small island.
On that island, a young man wearing the uniform of the Zeus academy is panting heavily.
He kicked the ground and tried to leap off the island and come out of the lake, however, as soon as the left the surface of the land, the surface of the lake split open. A skeletal snake came out of it and tried to bite him down.
He tried to change the direction mid-air, but then the water in the lake which was in an unusually black colored rose up, blocking his path.
On each node, there are a string of inscriptions drawn from top to bottom.
At the moment, the bottom most inscription of each node is lit up. They are determining the current properties of the formation and that is a simple barrier formation. The composition of it is very simple, but the barrier is strong as well.
Maybe because the creature sensed the energy fluctuations, its head raise above the surface. Its head first moved to face the target and then to the dome. It didn't care much and just went
back into the lake.
At that moment, Sam activated the next phase of the formation.
The next three inscriptions on each node were lit up. The dome which was translucent white changed to semi-translucent red. The target who is sitting on the island, not knowing what to do, suddenly a slight change in the temperature around him.
He looked at the dome curiously.
Within no time, he started sweating, it then became irritating as the temperature increased. He removed his shirt and tried to endure. The black water started boiling up. The target also felt parched. He didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the creature inside the lake came out all of a sudden and hit the dome.
*BAM*
There is not even a tremor. The dome is completely intact. The water became steam and it accumulated at the top of the dome.
*BAM*
The creature kept on hitting the barrier and soon its' skull cracked. It halted a bit and started healing. The opponent wanted to take advantage of this and tried to make a move. However, at the moment, the fourth inscription one each node lit up with a faint purple light.
The opponent suddenly felt his energy being sucked dry.
The area within the dome turned toxic with highly dense death energy. The surrounding death energy is being sucked and is being injected forcefully into the formation.
The target couldn't even breath and the absurdity of the surrounding death energy finally
showed its dark side. The blood thirsty aura Sam felt ever since he arrived here, finally showed its ugly end. The target's eyes became red like burning coals as he started rampaging inside.
He jumped into the boiling lake fighting with the skeletal snake.
The snake also started fighting back, while also smashing its head against the dome and cracking itself more and more.
Soon, the opponent's dead body floated over the lake, but by that time, the lake has already became two-thirds of its original size. The skeletal snake could barely hide itself. Sam used his energy vision to take a look. The weird energy around the snake has turned red
and while he was watching, from under the bed of the lake, a second skeletal snake has come. Now, as the lake evaporated rapidly and formed a massive cloud inside the dome, the snakes kept on smashing dome. The second snake's energy is also changing along with the first one's. Just for some safety, Sam activated the next phase of the formation, strengthening the dome
