Sam is relaxed, but Sanjay is anything but that. He is extremely cautious and he became even more cautious after watching Sam"s calm face.


He and Sam are only two feet apart and they are linked with the chains.


But he didn"t want to leave this chance, so he raised the sickle as was about slash at Sam.


But at this exact moment, he frowned when he noticed the change in Sam"s body. He sensed two types of movements, one of them is the wind elemental energy at the surface of the body and also the spiritual energy in his body was concentrated in his muscles.


His movement slowed down a bit, but he determined to make the first hit, even if he takes the next one. As he proceeded and swung the sickle, but just as he was about to make his move, Sam squatted down a bit and his body bent forward along with the chains.


He is forcing the spiritual energy that is binding him to move the chain along with him. As they are connected, Sanjay felt the force pulling him by his hands, as he wanted to control it, he noticed Sam"s movements.


His body suddenly became flexible as he moved like a snake in the air. He moved towards Sanjay"s left leg with his head first.


Before Sanjay could react, he placed the head between the legs and coiled his body towards his back and his head came out of the gap between Sanjay"s right hand and the torso. Meanwhile, Sam"s legs coiled around Sanjay"s left leg and forced him to stretch his legs.


Sanjay was about to stumble due to the sudden change in the balance, but he didn"t get a chance to stabilise himself.


Sam bit the chains on Sanjay"s right hand and rolled to his side forcefully making his back to stay against Sanjay"s back, but in the process, Sam"s claws tore his armour and then pierced into his back.


But that is not the end of it, Sanjay stumbled backwards due to the sudden movement and his head hit the ground hard.


Even though, Sam is under Sanjay, the main attack is not the fall, but the impact it would bring to the claw which is already pierced in his back.


The spiritual energy inside the chain which is binding Sam, was completely dissipated and Sam threw Sanjay to the side and stood up.


He looked at Sanjay with a smirk. It has been a long time, since he used these moves. He hasn"t used these techniques since he came to this world.


These are the techniques he created himself to use them when he wore claws or fighting barehanded.


He never got a chance or the situation where he has to use these techniques and suddenly, he felt like thanking Sanjay.


This person is the first person who forced him to use these forms.


As for how these techniques are formed, he created with the inspiration from the Origin Martial art of the previous world, the martial art of ancient India, Kalaripayyattu. He doesn"t dare say, he learnt this martial art completely, but he did learn this just like how he learnt all the other martial arts and he created his own fighting techniques based on this martial art.


Because, Kalaripayattu is most versatile martial art which not only focuses on usage of the body parts, it also emphasizes and focuses on various kinds of weapons suitable for various occasions and situations of the battle.


And this martial art was developed mostly based on the forms of various animals and these forms include an animal as large as an Elephant to an animal as small and complicated as a scorpion.


There are eight different animal stances which are used in this martial art, but apart from that, there is another phase which is called Kalari chalanam in which the martial artists, observe, practice and make the movements of the animals theirs and make them part of their battle moves.


With this as an inspiration, he observed various animals and other species and made himself some moves which are suitable for himself.


As for his current movements, he got these from the movements of a python. Of course, it is almost impossible for him to replicate those movements as his body is not as flexible as a python, so he concentrated mainly on his limbs and mouth.


Sanjay didn"t stay for long and stood up. He felt the back and could feel the blood. He felt extremely irritated. Sam gave the first hit and did so in such an extreme condition.


The claws went deep into the back and almost a small piece of flesh was almost torn off.


He held the sickles as he gritted his teeth. Right now, both of them almost forgot the surroundings as they got involved in the fight.


Sanjay lost his cool a bit and there is no calmness that was present at the beginning of the fight.


The exchanges went on as they fought and after another dozen or so moves, it almost turned into the initial dead lock, Sam noticed that the elemental energy was starting to rile up around Sanjay and the next second.


He slashed towards Sam"s chest but it didn"t connect as the latter dodged, but this time there is a small change.


Thin fog appeared in the form of the streak of the slash and an extremely thin and transparent ice formed in the shape of that slash, like a blade.


Sanjay waved another sickle and slashed the thin ice blade. It broke into two and both the blades slashed Sam in his chest and his movements came to a halt.


Two scars appeared on his chest and started bleeding.


He never guessed that he would meet such an attack.


He was already surprised when he noticed that Sanjay is using his Ice element very scarcely. Generally, the ice element attacks are extremely eye-catching and ma.s.sive in size.


They will influence the surroundings a lot and wouldn"t move too much. Almost all of them are ranged or area of attack attacks.


He saw the first unique user of the Ice element in this world.


The next few exchanges revolved completely around these ice blades and Sam was injured a couple of times.


He mainly focussed on dodging the thin blades which are becoming harder and harder as the vision is not even useful in this scenario.


Sanjay is about to gain the upper-hand and at this exact moment, he suddenly took a step back as he loosened the chain of the right -side chain sickle and rotated it with extreme speed.


The sickle revolved around the two of them and created a layer of fog around them while leaving the icy blades.


The whole scenario happened in an instant as Sanjay dragged the chain-sickle as he struck from above.


The blades which are surrounding them, moved towards Sam from all directions.


Sam who is the centre of the attack, felt a bit anxious and raised his fire elemental energy. His whole body was surrounded with the golden flames as they raged with an extremely high intensity and the gla.s.s blades which are about to contact him turned into water and then into a steam before they could even hit him.


Of course, there are a couple of blades which bypa.s.sed the flames and hit him, but compared to taking the brunt of the whole attack, this is much better.


The Steam covered his vision and as he was concentrating on avoiding getting hit by the blades, he didn"t notice that Sanjay is making some hand-signs.


As soon as Sam"s concentration came back, he was greeted with a thick transparent dragon head made of ice behind him.


The dragon maw covered his whole body as it closed its mouth. Sam was trapped inside the dragon"s mouth and the head froze on the land as soon as it took him in his mouth.


Sanjay is panting hard as he looked at Sam who is frozen behind the dragon head.


It is like a work of art, but he is not least bit interested to explore or appreciate it.


He wanted to see if this could trap his opponent or not. This is the most he had exerted his strength in a while when he fought with his peer.


He took a breath as he looked at Watt, who is near the entrance and all he noticed is a calm person standing with his back against the wall in a relaxed posture with his arms crossed.


It is as if, he was watching an entertainment show which he already knew the plot of.


He seemed extremely uninterested in the way it goes as he already knew the result.


And in fact, that is true, Watt is extremely sure that Sam is going to win.


Sanjay is wondering what gave Watt this confidence.


As he thought this, he turned around and what he faced next made him think to understand why Watt is confident.
