Chapter 2368: Hunting



That was a good move.

Yagrit reappeared far away from Sam. She dropped the remnants of the crushed transference token in her hand and was about to run in a certain direction. However, all of a sudden,

*SWOOSH*

A spear of lightning zapped her.

It brushed past her face. The electric current, made her muscles stiff. Her facial muscles in particular. She had a momentary lapse in her movements. That is all Sam needed.

*SWOOSH*

Another spear rushed through the wind. It landed on her palm. Precisely on her fingers. Her pinky finger of the left hand exploded. Not only was her finger lost, but the lightning burned the stump and charred it.

Yagrit felt like her life was taken away from her, for a moment.

She immediately activated another transference token. The lightning bolt just missed her by hair's breadth. When she reappeared at the new location, she didn't even turn around to take a look. She took out another transference token and used it to travel in a random direction.

Then another token and finally at the third stop, she hurriedly used a defensive barrier token that surrounded her with a translucent barrier.

*BOOM*

The moment it did, a lightning bolt came and hit it. The spherical barrier, held her inside, it is pretty good.

It blocked the full extent of the attack from reaching her. However, it wasn't really as solid and stationary as she would have wanted. The sphere flew like a bouncy ball with the impact. She crashed into a couple of rocks and debris, before she halted.

Yagrit felt shaken. Her mind was abuzz and she couldn't even make sense of her location.

But she did manage to make sense of something else. A sense of danger.

*SWOOSH* *BOOM*

The lightning hit the sphere from the stop and this time, it didn't bounce off and it also didn't make the ball fly away. Instead, the bolt is pressing down into the barrier, making it dig deeper into the ground. Yagrit never felt this helpless.

As she noticed the soil's elevation increase around the barrier, her first instinct is to just disable the barrier and slip away. However, she noticed that the moment she disables the barrier, the bolt will come at her.

The direction of its movement...

It is aimed at her. She checked the reserves of the transference tokens. There are a few. But not as many as she wanted.

She gulped anxiously and took out a token. She crushed it.

The barrier disappeared into a mass of sparkles as she disappeared.

Sam also made his move, following her to the next location.

The chase continued.

Meanwhile, outside the pocket dimension, back in the Thor academy, the spectators became more tense than ever. Chorus who is usually laid back is also looking at the scene intently, while Dove is having second thoughts about her approach to Sam.

She put him in this team combat competition, it has long since stopped being that.

She knew he will attract a lot of heat to the Gambler academy. Her intention to use that heat as a whetstone to sharpen the gambler academy... She felt like maybe she bit off more than she can chew.

Sam didn't hurry after her. Instead he paused and said out loud.

"I don't know what to say man. I did try to get her to speak with you. I believe you deserve to hear from your daughter, at least one time. At least one time before she dies here."

The dean of Heimdall academy felt a bit tense as he looked at Sam. For a moment, Sam's eyes felt like they are peering through the screen and are piercing his heart.

His heart beat wildly and he looked at his wife. His wife avoided his gaze. Tears dripped down

her eyes. Her fists clenched.

She had a really really bad premonition.

After five minutes, Sam finally made his move. He disappeared and reappeared at the spot

where Yagrit appeared after using her token.

She is not there.

He could sense the spatial energy fluctuations though. He also has a couple of specters that

saw in which director she ran in.

He couldn't help but smile.

She also took off in that same direction. Chasing her at a moderate speed.

While the chase is still going on, back at the edge of the now burned down dead forest...

The two teams are working like a clock.

Hari is leading his team of ten along with Rashma and Crow. Drik is handling the remaining.

These two teams worked alternatively. One of them worked in increasing the skeletons' level, while the other worked on destroying the black skeleton. Then they exchanged the

formations.

When Hari's team changed from the black skeleton formation to the growth formation, Drik's went to the black skeleton formation.

Of course, a black skeleton has been lured into the formation for the Drik's team to destroy. Rashma and Hari are done with the luring and went back to the formation. Fighting against

one of the low level skeletons, bringing it up to the speed.

Drik looked at the soon-to-be servant who pursed his lips and nodded his head.

Drik addressed the rest of the team.

"Get into positions. It is go time."

They shifted from their original positions and conjured their attacks. They looked at the black

skeleton, joining together back to its original shape."

Back in the open field, Yagrit is panting heavily, looking into the horizon at Sam who is

approaching her.
