Chapter 1528: Stalemate
Chapter 1528: Stalemate
Sivan ran to the remote formation and started projecting the red light on Sam.
Sam who is sitting in the formation, felt the burning sensation all over his body. He just gritted his teeth and didn't even let out a single moan of pain.
He started sweating profusely and used as much energy as he can to maintain that layer of barrier he created for his skin.
He just let the golems go crazy all by themselves for a while as he turned his head up and took in the red light that is falling on him.
The golems stood like guards to the light chamber and it is no use dragging people out. They will be holding back anyone from the Gaja clan that comes out.
The ambush is bound to fail.
Sam is the only person that Sivan wants to take his anger out on and he is now sure that it is definitely Sam.
On the other hand, Sam is actually embracing the red light for himself and after a few minutes, suddenly the specter popped out of his body. Along with the specter other souls that Sam is controlling temporarily merged with it.
The specter started attacking the souls that are within the red light.
The souls that are actually acting as a medium to create this red light started combating the specter, but they were unable to resist. The sheer number of souls and the strength of the specter have overwhelmed the souls in the red light.
All of sudden, Sivan who is controlling the red light on the spot, suddenly lost contact with them.
This one is different than before. Previously Sam kept the connection with the formation to get a view of it even if it is a mediocre one and he doesn't want to attack too much attention from Sivan.
But now, he doesn't care. He occupied a good portion of souls and now these souls spread to every corner of the room. The rest of the souls were forced out of the tower.
The light returned back in the room and everyone felt relieved.
Sam heaved a sigh of relief. He felt like he just walked out of a large pit of fire. He was constantly burning up in that light zone.
Now he can breathe freely and his spiritual sense along with his eyesight is free.
He looked at the formation masters on the side and asked them to start aiding him with the stability of the formations.
With their aid, Sam left the control of the souls in the room to them while he changed his focus to the golems and the lava worms outside.
Sivan who is sitting in front of the remote formation was shocked. He didn't know what happened. He was caught off guard for a moment and before he knew it, he lost contact with the red light he was operating.
And by the time he came to himself, he lost control over the whole tower and all of the light souls that he still had contact with were thrown outside.
He didn't know how it was possible to throw the souls away. After all, the whole advantage of the light chamber is that the souls are not tangible. They are merged with light energy. The literal light is condensed with spiritual energy.
They can expand and contract as much as they want and apart from that, they can even spread light and alter its radiation to a large range without even changing their sizes. It is almost impossible to identify them because of the sheer number.
In fact, thinking that they are souls is the last thing anyone would do in a normal situation.
He is so confused and almost wanted to pull his hair out.
If Sam saw him, all he would do is give out a smirk.
The only reason that Sam managed to do this is that he knew how the souls operate within the formation and he knew when to try and make contact with them to take them down.
He found the perfect time when Sivan projected the red light because. At that moment, the nature of the souls within that red zone is extremely different from normal.
They cannot just stay merged with the rest of the souls, so in that one moment, Sam found the interval to do what he did.
He expanded the souls immediately after he took control over them and spread them all over the room forcing the rest of the souls out. He also turned down their luminescence. Now, the room is resembling its normal situation.
Everyone is relieved.
As for the formation masters being able to control these souls, all they have to do is, use the connection between the formation, them, and Sam to connect with the souls and provide the energy to keep the other souls out.
While Sivan is trying to figure this out process and get back it, Sam is focusing outside of the city. He once again went to controlling the Lava worms and the golems.
He can see everything outside through the eyes of the golems and the worms. As he controlled these things, a Lava worm dug itself out of the earth and its head appeared on the surface.
One of the golems rolled itself into a ball and sat on the mouth of the worm.
It aimed at the sky and shot a fire elemental energy beam that shot the ball straight into the air.
The golem raised in the air as he spread its body after reaching the highest point.
The golem's eyes turned around as it looked at the surroundings. Sam is also looking at the surroundings with the golem and he noticed a few light beams being shot from different locations very very far away from the city.
The golem's range can't even see the exact range of the origin of the beams. But Sam got the rough direction in which they are appearing.
After some thought, he decided to find one of its base points.
The worm shot out another golem, but this time in a parabola. The golem fell far away from the city and there appeared another worm that shot the golem straight up in the sky.
Sam looked at the beam's origin spot. Even though it is not exactly a perfect spot, he can at least estimate and pinpoint a location in one way or another.
While Sam is trying to figure out a way to get back at the situation, Sivan is still struggling on the other side. And added to the struggle, Avlyn came in and spoke.
"Something is happening outside. The golems are being shot into the sky, you might want to check it."
"What?"
Sivan ran out and looked at the golem that was shot into the sky a distance away. He didn't understand what is happening, but he knew for sure that it is not a random move.
He was surprised. But he didn't know how to react to that.
"What do you want to do now?"
"I don't know. As long as the other party doesn't reach the base points of the light beams, things would be like this.
But this is a fucking stalemate."
"So? You are not going to leave it as it is, are you?"
"Of course not. There is one more thing that I could do with the light chamber before it becomes almost useless in the current scenario."
"What is it?"
"A final attack with the full intensity of the souls and light energy. I think I will be able to take down the dome if I can figure out the core of the formation."
"Are you confident in finding it?"
"Hell no. I want to see if divine league people can help me out with that."
"No, none of us are that skilled in formations."
"Then, there is only one choice, I can torture the small fries within. Even if I can't lead them out of the city, I can still make them go tired and some even dead."
"Or you can use that strong attack on one of the strongest people there are in the Gaja clan and you would be able to deal with one of their powerhouses.
As long as they are attacked that much, it would be a big blow for the Gaja clan.'
Sivan felt conflicted. Avlyn's suggestion is not bad. But he doesn't know how effective the attack of this size is on the Peak stage cultivators. He is sure that it would hurt them, but how harsh? That is the question.
As he was thinking, Avlyn suddenly seemed to have remembered something and asked.
"How intense is the light elemental energy that is emitted by the formation?"
"Very."
"How pure is it?"
"As pure as liquid energy. Why are you asking me that?"
As soon as she heard that, Avlyn ran out to talk with Cray and brought him back.
Cray looked at Sivan and learned the purity and intensity of the energy.
He then looked at Avlyn and asked.
"Are you sure you want me to do this? It will take a lot of energy from the formation."
