Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 1181 - Meeting In The City



The next squad that came, came on the insect-type beasts. They are also not exactly large beasts, a person can barely stand on the spider without falling.

Sam recognized the spiders instantly. They are the Black-Devil Spiders. Unlike the Devil dragons, these things are not exactly related to the Devil race in any way. They are just named because of their vicious instincts and their ugly appearance that could make the crying infants stop and the smiling infant cry.

Sam aimed straight at the guy in the lead and shot a normal arrow without any elemental energy.

The spider under his feet, aimed at the arrow and shot a web.

The web came out as a lump like a bullet and an arrow was shot down instantly.

The captives looked at the reinforcements and felt a bit pained. They didn't want to sell out their comrades, but they already did. They couldn't help but feel a bit guilty. One of them wanted to call out, but he heard the whistling sound of the arrows coming and immediately shut himself down.

He looked upwards and a bunch of arrows are being shot at the Spider guards that are making their way towards them.

The spiders kept on shooting the arrows down while the guards started moving towards the captives. 

The guard captain looked at the vice-captain Sam captured and asked.

"How many archers are there?" 

They could understand that question because Sam is in rapid-fire mode. He is not even stopping for a fraction of a second as he shot at them randomly.

The captain mistook that there are multiple archers just from the sheer amount of arrows shot at them.

The captives didn't speak anything, they didn't dare to. They have this feeling that if they spoke, death is just right above their heads. As long as they spoke, the arrow would be lodged into them. It is like death staring into their soul.

So, they didn't speak and stayed put.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Speak up, you idiots." The Spider Guard captain started yelling on top of his lungs as he saw the captives not speaking anything.

But the captives didn't need to go through that torture and guilt for long. Because a bunch of vines suddenly came out of the stone pathway leading up the creek and they started coiling around the spiders that are climbing upwards.

The Spider guard captain looked shocked as he saw the spiders struggling to get out.

He led his troops and started hacking the vines. The fire element users immediately used their abilities in hopes that they would be able to burn the vines down.

But to their disappointment, the vines are unusually and unnaturally resistant to the fire element as if they are made of iron completely absorbing the heat.

And in fact, their speculation is right. The vines are actually absorbing the fire elemental energy and it is channeling it to the spiders making them squeal for that burning sensation.

They forgot about the archers and the arrows for a moment and went directly to free the spiders.

After all, until now, they didn't feel much of a threat from the arrows. But that changed as soon as they entered the creek.

The arrows cut through the air and when they lodged into them, a vine started growing out of nowhere, eating them from inside. Within no time, the horror dawned on them.

They are just target practice for the archers above. The other party just wanted to have an easier time and wanted to lure them inside so that they can take them all out in one swoop.

But that is not the end. Along with the arrows, soon the spears started coming at them with much more destructive force.

The whole area turned into a death zone with all the chaos.

The captives looked at this scene and felt lucky for being able to survive that long. They felt lucky for having a much easier time than the spider guards.

Within ten minutes, Sam came out along with Noah and Kumar.

Except for the Spider Guard Captain, almost everyone is dead and the ones that are still alive are barely able to keep their breath in.

And just like that, another captive is added to the bunch.

Sam made them all sit down and he sat on a rock along with the other two and asked.

"So, now you are going to call and ask for a Silver Panther." 

The spider guard was stunned and said.

"How do you know our code words?"

Even though he was defeated miserably, there is that authoritative tone in his voice that pissed the three of them off a bit.

Sam just smiled and said.

"I didn't say you could ask any questions. You are just going to call them and tell them what I wanted you to say."

The guard captain just looked at him hatefully.

Sam walked towards him and he stood up to match his gaze.

"What are you looking at? Just because you succeeded in an ambush you dare talk down to me? Why don't you take these shackles off and go for around and see if you will have that cocky expression on your face."

Sam was surprised by those words and said.

"You asked for it."

Sam said and with a snap of his fingers, the shackles on the Spider Guard's hands were removed.

The captain was stunned for a moment and the next second he took a step back and got ready to fight. He lunged forward with a bunch. But Sam disappeared just before the fist was about to him and while he was still in a daze, he felt his vision go dark.

Sam is currently holding him by his face while covering his eyes with one hand. He lifted him up and slammed him into the ground.

*THUD*

The leaf debris was blown to the side.

When the vision returned to the guard captain, Sam looked down on him as he stood there with a smirk and he placed his foot on his neck.

"Now, be a good captive and make the call."

The captain was still reluctant, but he took out the communication token and made a call.

"Hello, what is the status?"

The guard captain looked at Sam and spoke.

"Code.. R… *Mmpf*"

Sam didn't let him speak and broke his neck.

He looked at them and sighed.

"This guy, he could have kept his life, but he just has to do this."

He then finished the memory extraction and looked at the captives.

They felt nervous and said.

"Please just let us go. We wouldn't talk to anyone else. We will just escape."

The vice-captain said pleadingly. 

Sam looked at Noah and Kumar and they just shrugged.

"Okay, then. Let me accompany you to the path."

With that, he walked with them and watched as they slowly walked away through the path.

Sam stood there while they went away as he kept an eye on them and also observed whether someone is coming from the other side.

After all, the call from the Spider Guard captain should have created some reaction.

Sam doesn't know how right he is.

Currently, there is an emergency meeting held in the city.

That Quarter-elf, quarter-winged and half-fiend man, the current lord of the city is currently going through a frustrating phase.

His hands are extremely itchy.

Looking at his frustrated expression the administrators all understood one thing.

The young lord didn't have the 'playtime' with his mother.

It is not exactly good timing for them to disturb him, but they cannot do anything. The situation called for it and they could only bite the bullet.

"Lord, two teams are completely gone. The hound guards asked for a Bronze Eagle, so we sent the spider guards, and we received a call from the Spider guard captain and he wasn't even able to finish the sentence.

We should assume the worst for both of them. We need to send more forces out."

"All of them happened from the rear gate. What about the situation from the front gate?"

"Except for the explosion that happened this morning, nothing is there. It seems like it was meant as a distraction."

"What about the destruction in the Inn?"

"The Inn was completely destroyed. Except for the excessive wood elemental energy and traces of spear intent, there was nothing present. None of the people even recognized the faces of the attackers. All we know is that they looked human and they wore some weird attire that looked like a uniform."

"The attacker at the front city gate?"

"He disappeared into thin air at the front gate and there are some people saying that they saw him at the rear entrance escaping with others, but they were unable to describe him."

"You don't know who attacked at the front and you don't know who is attacking at the rear? What the fuck am I feeding you all bastards for?" The young lord coldly said as he looked at all of them with a psychotic gaze.
