For the first time in the whole battle there is a frown on the face of the young master of Merene family.
All this while, he has completely control of the battle and even a slight upperhand, since the battle was a pure music and even after it changed into a direct battle. He was perfectly in control.
But currently, the situation seemed to have changed.
Sam"s tune and rhythm completely changed, all this while, he kept the tune in sync with the young master and that is why the beasts around could at least see the battle that looked like a piece of art, the sight, and the noise are all pleasant to their senses.
But at this moment, the beasts are showing a bit of pained expression as they could feel the clash between the music from two sides.
Sam"s way completely changed and in fact, the clash of scales is also being added into the rhythm of the music-making the young master confused for a moment.
This is the first time someone did it.
Sam knew that he is no match for the young master in terms of music. In fact, he is far behind, but when it comes to versatility and being resourceful, he beat the young master by miles.
He can easily overpower him.
As the scales clashed more and more along with the flute rhythm, half of the whole magma zone has turned into a frost zone.
The magma turned back into rock and the white misty winds could be seen blowing.
The golems that are in that zone, slowly lost their magma portion of the bodies and the scales destroyed the rocky potion in a few hits, making them crumble into the ground.
Now, the golems resorted to the ranged attacks as the flaming spears and flames themselves were thrown at Sam at a rapid pace.
But once again, the scales used the same technique and the frosty ripples of energy made the attacks almost useless they barely even reached Sam"s feet and by that time, he didn"t even need to dodge it.
Suddenly, the young master felt a bit helpless. He didn"t know what to do exactly and how to proceed, the energy ripples from Sam are so formidable that they are not only nullifying the attacks of his fire elemental energy, they are even shortening the domain he created.
At this rate, all the normal attacks would be wasted.
They wouldn"t work and will be merely a waste of his own energy. At this moment, he suddenly stopped playing and stored his Veena away.
The magma domain he created slowly started dissipating. The fire boundary is disappearing and the golems are slowly crumbling.
Sam didn"t relax though, he let the scales rapidly progress further and they clashed with each other cooling down the magma zone as much as he can.
It almost looked like Sam had won. But all of a sudden, the frown on the young master"s face relaxed and he took out another veena. This is a completely different one and Sam recognized this.
This is Rudra veena. A type of veena that is very hard to play and it is played completely horizontally,
The young master closed his eyes his whole body slowly started enveloping with the fire elemental energy and soon he activated fire elemental fusion.
He plucked a string a wave of fire elemental energy hit the whole area, the golems that are almost completely frozen suddenly revitalized as the magma turned back to its liquid state.
The young master didn"t stop though, now his body is currently enveloped with earth elemental energy on top of the fire elemental energy and slowly his body looked like that of a flaming earthen golem.
He plucked another string as the whole domain quaked and the frosty ground seemed to have turned upside down.
At this moment, he plucked two strings with two hands at the same time and the whole area turned into some kind of volcanic zone.
Sam could feel the scales that are covered with frost energy completely being suppressed. Even the normal scales with wind energy are being suppressed, This became an absolute domain for the flame and earth elements and the monarch of this small domain is currently sitting in front of Sam.
The young master opened his eyes for the first time since the battle. He didn"t just look like a musician, he looked like an emperor of music.
Sam, stopped playing his flute and looked at his opponent.
The admiration couldn"t be hidden in his eyes. It has been a long time since he admired someone like this.
The other party"s musical prowess was so high that Sam almost had the urge to ask him to teach him how to play that veena. These are his instincts. It was in his nature to learn as much as he can in his previous life. It was ingrained into his bones and the very soul.
If they ever met on another occasion, Sam would have done this. He would have taken a knee in front of this young man who is about the same age as him and ask him to teach music. He would make him a real teacher and pay respects as such and remember that debt for the rest of his life.
But currently, it is not possible.
Sam bowed deeply making the young master surprised. He didn"t understand why Sam would bow to him, but he didn"t dare relax and kept on playing. The rocks in the domain started joining along with Magma as new golems formed and this time, they are not humans or normal beasts, the golems are formed in the shape of dragons.
It is almost as if they came to life.
Sam sighed and once again started playing the flute and this time, he used all the elements he had at his disposal.
His musical prowess is limited, but this is not just musical prowess, this battle is how much of their energy and attacks they can do with their music and even Sam is not as skilled with music, that is enough for him to manipulate the whole surroundings.
Golden Flames erupted at first along with golden light all of them condensed onto a scale to form a golden sun crow made solely out of the flames and light.
When it entered the domain a few meters around it turned into golden flames. Then wind element surged and it enveloped another scale to create a roc.
When the roc appeared in the domain, a few meters around it was completely under its control, the magma was immediately blown away by the air and normal ground could be seen.
The water element formed hydra around a scale along with the poisons secreted by Sam, the flute them emitted the shadow element as a single mouse came in the domain, but it immediately merged into the shadow letting out his shadow soldiers.
The silver lightning created a silver wolf that howled as soon as it came.
Then the Earth and Metal elements, forming the horse and the wood element forming the Forrest bear, and finally the s.p.a.ce element forming the s.p.a.ce element.
But it didn"t end there. Three swords shot out of the divine dimension.
The reaper, the executioner, and the shadow sword.
All three of them went into the hands of the shadow soldiers and Sam manipulated the energies.
The Wind and Fire elements entered into the first shadow soldier, creating a forceful merge, the water and poison elements entered the second shadow soldier making another forceful merger. That shadow soldier is holding the Executioner sword.
After that, the s.p.a.ce element alone entered the third shadow soldier that held the shadow sword.
Sam"s consciousness is currently divided into many parts. He is controlling many things and these three shadow soldiers are also part of those controlled things.
This is one of the domain techniques he created. Since he has three powerful weapons, there is no point in not using them.
But at this moment as he sense the three shadows, he couldn"t help but smile. The sword spirits seemed to have merged with the shadows temporarily and this will lessen the burden on him.
The shadow soldiers moved as they were led by these three and dove towards the flaming golems followed by the beasts that are pure condensed of elemental energies.
The ma.s.sive figures clashed as they reacted to the musical rhythms that are commanding them.
The whole scene looked majestic. The dragons clashed with the rest of the mythical beasts that are made with energies.
And they slowly started moving back.
The young master tried his best to get the upper hand back, but slowly his domain started disappearing and is being replaced with a completely new domain.
It turned into Sam"s domain and as the dragons were slowly suppressed, a red scale flew through the domain aimed at the throat of the young master.
Right, when the young master thought, he was going to die, the scale stopped right before his throat.
He looked at Sam in surprise, who stopped playing and the scale dropped down.
Sam"s face has an expression of struggle and unwillingness before he sighed and opened his eyes.
