nSam was completely shaken by this attack , even though he was not heavily injured there was an additional palm print on the armor.

nAll the earth crystals that were in the sockets were completely used up and turned to powder.

nHe stood up again and used the energy from the golden sphere to mend the cracks that had appeared on the stone golem.

nHe inserted new earth crystals into the sockets and was ready for another round.

nHe didn't waste time and started skipping towards the ape again.

nThe ape was in no good situation either, after using the special technique the poison had already spread towards all its internal organs along with blood.

nBlack veins started appearing all over its body and it became much weaker.

nBut it still didn't run away, instead it started rushing towards the enemy with more madness in its eyes.

nSam didn't go for a direct attack , instead he used earth spikes to form a barricade before the rushing ape.

nThe ape destroyed the spikes with punches, but it was also slowed down .

nThe same time Sam appeared on its left side and slashed on the back of its left knee.

nThe joint's were the weakness of almost all animals and his attack was effective as the red aura has decreased significantly from earlier.

nThe strike went through and the apes left leg was crippled.

nAnother wild cry was heard.

nSam didn't care, he attacked without break and after many strikes he landed a critical strike on its head breaking the skull.

nWithout any pause he put the dead body into the ring and ran away.

nAfter gaining some distance, he dug into the earth and closed it from the outside.

nHe didn't stop there either and used the one with earth technique .

nNow even if an expert were to walk above him or use spiritual senses, they will not find any difference but just soil.

nJust after Sam left the place he heard a loud rumble coming from the place where he fought , after some time the rumble passed by him but didn't notice him.

nSam didn't have the time to check what kind of animal it was , because he was too tired.

nHe just laid there without moving.

nHe was recalling the battle that he just had and pondered.

n

" I am strong but not strong enough for a head on fight.

nI could take on one big red beast at a time in a head on fight.

nI may be able to deal with three at a time using the sand storm technique along with the One with earth technique.

nI am undetectable in the sand storm.

nIf I use one with earth technique inside the sand storm, I can sneak attack the animals.

nTaking them out one by one is entirely possible, but it is energy consuming.

nProbably after taking on three animals, I will be tired and will need a rest for at least 2 hours to recover energy.

nEven if the number is more I can still escape.

nThe problem will be if I encounter a beast that can detect me when I am using one with the earth technique..…hmm...

nNow I need to test my strength when I am using the Evil sword and Shackles of Maya...

"

nAfter about 5 hours he got out of the pit.

n

" It's time to continue the journey...

"

nSam didn't have to wait long to test his full strength with all the equipment.

nAs he had entered another dangerous beasts territory.

nThis time it was a Python, It was as big as a truck and could swallow Sam entirely with one gulp.

nBut the fight was much simpler due to the presence of two super weapons.

nSam used an earth wall to block the first bite of the python.

nThen the shackles of Maya transformed itself into gigantic chains which wound around the python restricting it.

nwhile the Evil sword stabbed right through the snake's eye, but it was a mistake as the sword got stuck in the eye.

nThe special ability of the Python was its regeneration and increasing density of any part of its body instantly .

nWhen the python used it's special power, the Evil sword was struck, unable to move forward.

nBut the Evil sword was not ordinary either, it felt like it's pride was attacked.

nIt started vibrating and went through all the obstructions as if they were oil papers.

nAfter some time the python started struggling frantically, but soon the python's body started getting thinner and shriveled up.

nIt seemed like it's flesh and blood were sucked out.

nWhen the sword came out of the body, a brown colored orb was attached to it.

nThe aura surrounding the sword had changed to red and black and it looked more like an evil sword now.

nIt stood before Sam and asked for the payment.

nIt didn't wait for any more pleasantries and disappeared into Sam's dantian to rest.

n.....
