THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapters 579. King vs King

Kartikeya examined the wounds on his body and could not help but frown. The damage was more than he could think of. If Sam directly used the poison attack with his element, he would probably think of something else. But Sam is too smart and uses a weapon with that attribute and his poison doesn't act fast.

Even acting too slow for him to think of countermeasures between battles. After all, in battle, his main concern was always the most pressing threat and Sam was indeed like that. No matter how hurt Sam was, he maintained the threat and gave Kartikeya no chance to think about anything else.

And from the last strike, he might be able to use a huge ripple to avoid the explosion, but he was still breathing in smoke and now he could feel his body numb. His chances in the next battle were reduced by a lot. Sam will come to him in the form of a king with a full health bar.

When he returned to the chair, he saw Sam twitching and sweating once more. But this time, he seemed to have understood the pain that was tormenting him and endured it quite well.

Every ordinary person would be crushed under that pain. That's what Kartikeya thought when he saw Sam.

After some time, they did not speak anything and once again entered the battle zone.

Sam looked at Kartikeya who finally felt the effects of the poison. Initially, the executioner only had a corrosive effect and a faint anesthetic effect. The remaining effects of the hydra variant are not visible.

But still, it had two major effects, but a man of Kartikeya's caliber, wouldn't lose out that easily. The effects are slow, to begin with, and on him, they are slower.

However, one thing is certain, they do have an effect. Plus the fact that he inhaled purple smoke, it slightly accelerated the effect.

That's what Sam wanted. But still, he wasn't very confident in fighting Kartikeya.

Sam did not pick up any weapons this time, but instead took out a flute, this made Kartikeya confused just hearing Sam say.

"I've been practicing a new trick recently but didn't get the chance to try it out in real combat. I'll try it today."

With that, Sam began to play the flute and spiritual energy began to rumble.

The energy is visible to the naked eye as it condenses around Sam in the form of a sphere. Kartikeya frowned and lunged forward as he swung his spear, the tip of the spear slashed at the orb and the energy ripples that followed him began to disturb the orb, but the energy wave emerged from with the orb and the Void force negated the energy ripples.

Kartikeya did not hold back anymore. In the previous battle, he had to worry about the final battle and could not use too much energy, but now he could do it.

His movements became large, but the energy ripples that occurred were also too great, if this continued, the ball would not last long. But Kartikeya will definitely expend a lot of energy.

Before the actual confrontation with Sam, he won't like it.

He starts circling around the ball to find any weak spots as he attacks with a normal attack.

As he did so, he continued to observe how Sam was doing inside and noticed that he now only had twenty-nine health bars and one of them was decreasing a little faster.

He frowned because even when he didn't attack the ball, his health was diminished. It could only mean one thing, Sam created an attack that took a lot of energy from it.

As he scanned and tried to find the weak spot of the ball, he could see another ball appearing in front of Sam, but it was not a shield and it was actually a very small ball made of golden flames.

Energy was being gathered as he played the flute with his eyes closed and the thick fireball lit up with increasing intensity.

Kartikeya frowned, at that moment condensing completely, Sam's second health bar was gone. From the looks of it, he used one health-value energy bar to create a protective ball and a second one for the fireball.

Kartikeya felt that something must be wrong but he could not find the source. He had the feeling that he would be able to destroy the shield if he landed a proper punch at his weakest point, but he was unable to identify it.

But if he had to break it by force, he also had no other health bar.

The dense yet gentle stream of water began to condense and fuse with the golden fireball, but the water did not evaporate, but rather the two coexisted like that with a delicate balance. Another health bar is gone.

Kartikeya severed himself and waved his staff, his body shone and the entire area trembled.

He lunged forward and pierced with a spear. The spear pierced through the shield of the Orb and many energy ripples formed from condensed energy rippled through the orb and the energy channeled through it was destroyed. But at the expense of one of his health bars.

But before he can move forward and engage with Sam, another ball shield appears and another health bar disappears from Sam.

He frowned when he realized how careless Sam was wasting his energy. But after a few more observations, his eyes widened, because, in that one health bar, Sam did not make the shield back, he said, but he also combined some wind energy into the fire and water ball and now the three elements are combined.

And Sam didn't stop there and continued. Kartikeya reached a conjecture and he did not want it to come true. But he could only verify it in a different way.

Once again his energy surged, but this time, the wounds on his body finally began to reduce his movements. Even though they had limited him all this time, now they could block his battle. He could feel the corrosion reaching his bones and his health plummeting.

But he kept attacking.

By this time, Sam already had another health bar reduced by half and the wind element was also condensed in equal amounts inside the small ball, but the size of the ball did not increase at all.

Kartikeya smashed the shield at the right moment and he realized that the shield was forming again. He carefully observed Sam's health and only about one-third of the subsequent health bars were reduced. He frowned at this and once again smashed the shield and this time, the health bar only reduced a quarter of his health.

He was surprised by the revelation. Each time he attacked, his energy consumption was reduced to make a shield again. Then he would lose because he was attacked four times, four health bars were lost.

And now he only had a little more health than ten health bars.

He will be in big trouble because of the poison in action. He took a step back and thought hard when he saw Sam, who injected new elements into the small ball, after the lightning element breeze, and the dark element, and even poison also entered. Except for the light element, all Sam elements enter the orb.

Just for this, he completed six health bars and the seventh was to create the first barrier and the eighth was to create a barrier after Kartikeya destroyed it.

After repeated attacks, Sam forces him to inject energy more quickly.

Kartikeya was still in conflict, he did have quite good skills to deal with Sam, but he could not use them because they would kill Sam instantly and he had to pay a heavy price.

The main purpose of the Inheritance Palace itself was to teach this prospect and improve their experience which would help their growth, instead of showing off their strength and power.

But he thought twice when he saw Sam's actions. He didn't know what he was doing and whether he should let him do that. After some thought, he still let Sam finish the attack and took a step back.

He took advantage of the time, to deal with his own poison festering wounds.

He tried his best to create a small energy blockade so that the corrosion would not spread any further.

But he didn't have much time, because he felt something from Sam.

Suddenly, the Orb's shield spread throughout the stage and enveloped Kartikeya within it and the smaller ball inside floated in the center of the stage without changing its size.

But Kartikeya's attention was on Sam, who was now ready to attack him unhindered.
