The whole area is surrounded by dust clouds.


There is not a single sound for the next minute as the dust settled down.


*Cough* *Cough*


Sam"s cough broke the silence as he slowly shuffled the rubble around his leg. His leg is bleeding as there is a tear all over the muscle tissue because of the hit he made.


His arm is also feeling numb and his chest has a deep scar.


A few meters away Arkiv was unconscious. He is bleeding profusely and there are many wounds on his body.


Beside Arkiv, the captain is also standing up slowly, out of three of them, she the least injured.


Sam also stood up and when she looked at him, her eyes and mouth were opened wide.


"How are you still conscious after the hit?"


She was really surprised.


What she hit is not the person after all, it is the formation and everyone within the formation zone will be damaged, but Sam is still relatively great shape compared to Arkiv.


Then only she noticed the numb feeling on her arms was gone and she could feel the battered pain. She was puzzled and surprised at the same time, she couldn"t understand why her arms are so painful, every muscle tissue felt like it took a beating, there is definitely internal bleeding.


She doesn"t know how it happened, but Sam knows because he is the one that made it happen.


The hit he landed on the ground is a hit with ripple style.


Even though the spear strike is supposed to land on the formation, it is nearer to Sam than Arkiv, the damage Arkiv took is more from the formation"s backlash and less from the spear strike. In fact, there are s.p.a.ce cracks near Arkiv even at this moment, slowly mending themselves.


The ripple style kick has only one job to do, it is to reduce the effects of the spear strike and throw her off with even a backlash.


He doesn"t know if the effects are reduced enough. He took some serious damage. He didn"t take that much damage in a while.


He looked at Arkiv and wanted to take him away, but still, the captain is less damaged than him and closer to Arkiv.


She grabbed him first and at this moment a bunch of feathered appeared from the forest surrounding them.


Sam looked at them coldly and said.


"You are going to regret this so badly that you will never have a day of peace until I leave this place."


He waved his hand and the beasts came out. Sky, Yanwu, Raiju, Ape, the Bear, Dia, and even Mia were out.


Dia instantly activated the gravity and some of the feathered closer to the ground slammed into the earth and got crucified by the earthen spikes that came out, they are not dead, but it is no use being alive either.


The captain who was about to fly out was also affected by the gravity and couldn"t do so.


The feathered that are in the sky engaged with Sky and Yanwu as they retreated, one of them attack Dia which gave a small interval for the captain to fly off with Arkiv, they are retreating rapidly. They took a token out of their storage and crushed it.


Golden light enveloped them and their speed increased rapidly.


They became faster than the beasts, it would be hard for even Sky who is the fastest in the air to catch up to them.


Sam cursed under his breath and limped towards Sky, who landed on the ground for a second, he climbed onto his back and both of them flew high.


Sam can see them far away.


He took out his bow and the heavenly wine gourd. He took a chug out of the bottle and took out an arrow.


The arrow covered in lightning tore through the sky as it lodged itself into the head of one of the feathered.


The sky started following their trajectory as he started firing arrow after arrow. Every arrow hit the target, they are unable to dodge. The energy in each arrow, caused Sam to weaken and take a swig from the wine gourd.


The captain felt horror dawn on her.


The golden light"s time is about to stop, then Sam could surely catch up at this rate and she also noticed that Sam"s attacks are only increasing in intensity and threat level as he slowly recovered from the injuries.


The pursuit continued and Sam went on killing. He killed a dozen of these people and the captain has half a mind to stop the pursuit and engage with him in close combat.


In this long-range, they could only live if they only focused on dodging in one place, running away is not really a great choice in this situation.


They did halt in their tracks and Sam sped up on Sky.


He saw much Feathered moving through the forest, they are injured feathered in the earlier battle, they are moving by foot.


Sam"s arrows didn"t stop instead, he started using different varieties. He took out a poison vial arrow. When he shot it from a certain distance, it reached the target and the arrow exploded leaving the smoking purple poison gas.


There is a pin arrow that has a small pin grenade as its arrowhead.


He shot every arrow precisely and dropped a person. Even if they dodged it, they are not going to be off the hook without any damage.


The captain felt like the danger is increasing, particularly when she got a clearer look at Sam who is actually recovering faster than he thought.


She gave the instructions to the group and they decreased their alt.i.tude they are now moving in the middle of the dense vegetation of the forest.


Sam used energy vision to keep track of them and still sped up on Sky as he shot arrows from above.


The captain is a bit shocked by this. Sam is not stopping and now he almost caught up to them, she would be in deep trouble if he really caught her now. She is injured after all. She is not even sure that she would win when she is in her top form, much less now.


She grits her teeth and stopped in her tracks. She deflected the arrow that came at her with the spear. The group also halted in their tracks and stood around her trying to defend against the tricky arrows that are torturing them to no end.


The captain looked at her deputy and said.


"You guys disperse. Being together is making us a bigger target."


"But captain, you cannot win against him at this rate. At least, earlier he held back now he is p.i.s.sed off, we should have left them alone after that, but it is too late to regret anyway, just let us go in the group."


"No, you guys disperse, I will use the golden feather and escape."


The deputy became silent for a second and spoke up.


"It is too valuable and you cannot carry this guy with you when you use the golden feather. You would take too much damage. How about you leave him here? We would be able to escape easily. He would stop and take care of him. This is our territory, we are going to win anyway."


"No, you shouldn"t do that. We were ordered to capture both of them. We have to take at least one of them back."


"But.."


"No more discussion, he is coming. Let"s leave. It is an order."


The deputy grit his teeth and ordered his subordinates to disperse while the captain took out a golden feather. She gulped nervously and held Arkiv tightly.


Sam who is almost near them stopped shooting the arrows he is only a few yards away from them.


When he noticed the argument and the soldiers are ready to disperse, and also the actions of the Captain, he became a bit anxious, he stepped into the air and activated full light elemental fusion. He took out his two swords and shot like a golden light ray towards the group.


When they saw this sudden change, the group dispersed into random directions, Sam landed right in front of the captain, who is enveloped with a bright golden light and levitated along with Arkiv. She turned around and was about to escape, at this exact moment, Sam spun on his heel with the two swords created large light blades curving through the forest.


The light blades cut through the feathered and even left a slash on the captain, but she still managed to disappear from the spot.


Sam panted heavily as he stopped in frustration, but the light blades didn"t. They cut through the whole group and left them on the ground and they continued as they cut the trees down in their path like cutting through the b.u.t.ter.


Sam frustratingly kicked the ground and is full of anger. She escaped with Arkiv.


He looked into the horizon where she left and turned his attention to the group that is moving by foot.


When he wanted to move, he saw something on the ground. It is half a white wing of the feathered.


He slashed his blade covered in golden flame and ran towards the group of injured feathered.
