Chapter 1631: Puppets
Sam, his friends, and the teammates all gathered back at the meeting spot.
"Do you need us to do anything else, Sam? I think it is better for us to stay here. The other party has way too many people and their strengths are not less. They are way too many and way too strong for you to handle them."
"No need for now. If I have another hiccup I will come and get you guys, but for now, it is better for you to leave. I am pretty sure your students might be waiting for you there. I hope you like your new jobs."
"Of course, I have some really interesting brats coming to me for saber techniques. I can now understand why you constantly go back to your academies and you are so crazy about opening schools left and right.
Teaching those brats and watching them grow is such a satisfying feeling."
Sam just shook his head and sent them off.
While Sam was gone, these people started teaching students while helping Arkiv out. They liked the educational style of the Dusk organization and they are thinking of opening up elite schools that focus on just one particular skill.
Night Ghost wants to open an academy solely focused on using dark elemental energy with soul necromancy and ghost cultivation.
Sabre Monarch wants to open an academy that solely focuses on saber techniques.
It would be the cream of the crop that gets into it.
Sam is not against it and since they are having a lot of free time after Arkiv sent them back recently, they are doing it out of their own will. It will all benefit the Dusk at the end of the day.
Anyway, that's a matter of another time.
Back to the plan.
After sending them away, Sam and his friends waited for a while. Sam already let small insect puppets, shadow mice, and the ghosts in the Mountain range at least have some surveillance.
Of course, he didn't leave too many because there is a great chance that the Mountain Master might be able to find them out with all the formations that are present there.
But still, it will be very difficult if he didn't have any information from the Mountain range.
So, he waited for a few hours and got some info.
And one of them is that Brother Black, one of the three disciples is making rounds around the Mountain as he visited various node points.
He has checked them carefully.
When Sam learned of this, he was not really surprised or anxious, rather he was very amused and intrigued. He is waiting for what they are going to do.
Sam is not stupid. He knew that he is dealing with a bunch of people who are as smart as him in terms of technical knowledge behind formations and spiritual energy, if not smarter.
There is a great chance that all of the things they set up might be found out, but he is prepared for that outcome too.
He is now only waiting for what the other party would do.
But to his disappointment, the other party was very lax about this search. It seems like Brother Black is in a hurry which made them to use a very crude method that is way too easy for Sam's setup to avoid.
It is a technique that uses the formation's energy circulation to scan the surroundings and within the formation.
Brother Black who has access to most of the formations in the Mountain range used this method to scan the surroundings of the nodes.
If Sam had known that this guy would be choosing this kind of method, he would have had a much more relaxing time when setting up traps. He is even slightly disappointed that none of his traps were found at all.
"This might go a lot more boring than I initially thought. This asshole didn't even spare some time to do this. Does he really think I wouldn't come this early? Or is he in such a rush that he could let some potential threats that I left behind are not worth his time and effort at the moment?"
Sam muttered to himself as he stood up and walked around for a while. This is so disappointing to the point that it is almost unbelievable. He even felt like this lax behavior might even be a trap to lure him in.
But after some thought, he shook his head off these thoughts and waited. The next step of the plan would be done the next day and only if by then the other party didn't discover these things, then he can be sure that they are not going to discover them at all and he can confidently proceed forward.
He waited for the night along with his friends.
But the next morning the news that came out of the Mountain range surprised Sam a bit.
It is about how the progress on healing Sivan has been tremendous and they succeeded in piecing his soul together. All they have to do now is to wait for the Sivan to wake up.
When Sam heard this, he knew for sure that this is announced just to lure him. But he also knew that he cannot ignore it.
The very reason, he rushed and hurried so much is because he is afraid that people from the Divine Formation Mountain will use his skills and knowledge to bring forth destruction that shouldn't even exist.
This is not something he can let happen.
The consequences of that would be dire. Just by scratching the surface of his ideas, Sivan almost managed to destroy the Gaja clan. Who knows what these crazy psychos would do? Particularly, after listening to the stories about the Mountain Master, Sam is very sure that he shouldn't let this happen no matter what.
So, he checked the traps once again and after making sure that there is no chance whatsoever, he decided to make a move.
He moved the camp near to the mountain range and set up the crystal table in a hidden cave.
"Alright, let the fun begin. All three of you better be ready. This is going to be the toughest and most exciting battle you have ever had."
As Sam spoke, he extended his hand to the side and dozens of puppets flew out of his divine dimension to the exit of the cave before they flew towards the Mountain range.
It didn't take long for people to take notice of the puppets as many of them are of bird type and they are all moving without using any stealth techniques. They went straight towards the mountains and particularly the main mountain area where the Divine formation mountain resided.
As if they are trying to just barge through the formations around.
The news quickly traveled to the Mountain master and the disciples.
"What the fuck? This bastard finally showed up? I am almost thinking that he might have given up after learning that our master is getting involved."
Brother Black said with a grin.
"Of course, didn't you learn anything about him from all the information that we gathered? There is no way a person like that is going to stay put without doing anything.
All his life he has been punching way out of his league. He is so confident and cocky because of it. Rightfully so, but he is not going to stop and think that he won't be able to do it this time around."
"So, let's see what he has up his sleeve. There is no use if his aim is to stop us from getting information from Sivan's soul. It is just a matter of a couple of hours before we could do that and I am sure he won't be able to reach us in that time."
As the three disciples were discussing what would Sam do, the puppets charged at the formations and started shooting energy beams everywhere.
The barriers were activated and the people inside the formation were pretty scared. They didn't know what is happening, but they knew it was nothing good.
The Night members also got pretty nervous as they saw the energy fluctuations that are spreading all over the formations.
But when they noticed that even the continuous beams are not doing anything to them, they felt a bit relieved.
Only to realize a few moments later that the relief is just fleeting. Sam used the crystal table as he witnessed everything before touching some spots. The spots that are precisely near the nodes of the formations.
In just a few seconds, the energy fluctuations of the formations became chaotic and a lapse in the barrier appeared. That momentary lapse let all of the puppets inside and the energy beams that were being shot made contact with the people on the ground.
The Night members were targeted and one after another they started falling.
The puppets started a rampage within the barrier and it is mostly focused on three particular spots within the range.
