Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 2340: Planning



The skeletal bird in front of Sam has red energy around it.

It seemed like the other party might have fought with this creature and then escaped after realizing its regeneration. Then he or she might have encountered the minotaur and the person fighting the minotaur, which finally resulted in the current situation.

Sam dodged the coming bird for a couple of minutes as he organized his thoughts.

After that, he made a decisive move. He used the spatial blink to disappear from there. The Skeletal bird that wanted to tear him apart halted in mid-air and looked around in confusion. It started moving around in that area, but was unable to sense Sam.

After a couple of minutes, it halted once again and looked in one particular direction, before taking that route.

At the same time, in that same direction. Sam appeared hundreds of meters away. He checked the surroundings for a moment, dropped a small metal node, let out two specters from his body and used the blink again.

The two specters moved in two different directions left and right. The undead environment is also very suitable for them and they are a great way for him to cover a lot of area.

He travelled like that far fifteen minutes, dropping those small metal nodes and spreading those specters on his way.

He moved in a straight line and assigned a specific area for each of the specters.

In this path, he has encountered several competitors fighting with these weird undead creatures, he has seen some undead creatures kill these competitors and he was also attacked by a lot of them. But he only went with one goal.

To find crow and meet him.

From all the information he gathered until now, the biggest threat is not the students in this competition. Rather, the undead creatures that are coming from all the different directions.

The undead creatures attacked them students and the students are not actually incompetent to defend against them right now.

But the more they fight, the more troublesome it will get. The creatures grow stronger and they multiply in number. The twenty-four hour time limit... it has been a little more than half an hour since he came and he already saw several creatures that multiplied.

And he is not sure if that is all there is to this place.

He tried to move in the straight line once again, but he wasn't able to. He hit a barrier. Which means he is at the edge of the pocket dimension.

Some of his specters also moved to edges in either side. He believed he is covering more than half of the dimension at the moment with these specters and the nodes.

After making sure that there is no other presence beside him, he closed his eyes and started sensing the locations of the nodes and the specters.

The nodes are placed in a straight line, until the original location of the skeletal bird. Beyond that Sam already marked the path until the giant skeleton's location. The nodes are going to act as stationary markers.

While the specters act as mobile markers.

They are moving in different directions and they are marking the locations where these undead creatures are. With these specters, they can easily leave a small part of themselves behind as markers.

Even though primary purpose is to search for Crow, the helped him map out most of the pocket dimension. Once he has the markers in place, it is easy for him to travel in between and navigate the threats.

It might seem a bit excessive now, but he believed that soon this pocket dimension will turn into a hell hole with something or the other threatening the students every passing moment.

After getting a sense of location for all the nodes and specters he left behind, he started the journey once again.

This time, with a single blink he reappeared at the first node, a few hundred meters away from the original location of the skeletal bird.

At this moment, far away from Sam, a skeletal bird which is moving in a particular direction, halted in its tracks and turned around, before moving back in the same straight line.

Sam started using blink again. He dropped the nodes and let the specters out. On his way, he saw an intense battle. The swordsman is entangled with two tree-men in the dead forest and at the same time, a minotaur is after him.

Sam sneakily left the place. Even though his presence was felt, they weren't able to pinpoint his location and they didn't have a chance to bother him.

He made a straight line until he reached the other end of the barrier.

By now, it is approximately an hour since the competition started. He split the pocket dimension into two main parts with this straight line connected by these small marker nodes.

The specters are using his marker node as reference as each of them searched a pre-defined area on either side. Unless Crow is eliminated, he shouldn't have a problem finding him.

He also noticed that the edges are the safest at the moment. There are no signs of undead and also no signs of candidates. The same goes for the edges on the remaining two sides.

It seemed like the candidates were all sent into the middle part.

Sam kept on creating a map in his mind as he waited. About ten minutes later, he finally found Crow's location.

He seemed to have just fought with a competitor and is running in a specific direction. Sam calculated his distance from the marker and then made the specter follow Crow. He disappeared from there and reappeared at the marker.

The specter already closed in on to Crow's location. Sam used the specter as a reference and did a long distance spatial blink.

Crow who was being chased by an undead creature.

He has fought with while dealing with a competitor who ambushed him. He killed the competitor by using the undead creature, but now it is coming after him.

At that moment, all of a sudden he sensed a spatial fluctuation beside him. Just when he thought he was being ambushed again, Sam appeared out of thin air.

*SWOOSH*

A spear flew out of his hand and struck the oncoming skeletal creature that looked like an elephant. The spear went straight into its head, cracking its skull open. Sam's arm tore off a bit and it bled.

He took a deep breath and healed himself, looking at crow.

"Let's go."

Sam took out a transference token and started modifying it a bit. Both of them disappeared from there and arrived at the edge where Sam was just a few moments ago.

Sam then gave a potion to Crow.

"I have my own stock." Crow replied and was about to pass it back to Sam.

"Mine are better."

Sam said as he landed on the ground and sat there. He rejoined the torn muscle fibers in his

arm and started drinking the wine to heal himself.

Crow also landed beside him and sat down. Catching some breathe.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"No threats around?"

"No. The edge of the pocket dimension."

Sam said as he pointed at the invisible barrier. It just looked like a vast expanse of grey land is

behind it. He coined it up to being an illusion. A well made one.

"So, what's the plan?" Crow asked Sam.

"You tell me. How do you want to proceed forward? If you want to go and roam the area trying

to fight them one by one, I advise against it. This place might appear safe for now, but I can't

even guarantee that.

And soon the whole pocket dimension will become a chaotic mess.

At least now, the others are still getting used to the situation. So, I managed to get by without

much trouble. But soon, they will get used to it and they will be coming after me.

I might be able to escape somehow, can't guarantee your safety in that scenario."

Crow nodded and went into a deep thought.

"What is the alternative for that though? I don't really have too many tricks up my sleeve that could help in this scenario. You might be well equipped with this."

Sam nodded and said.

"Right now, we have several advantages.

First one is that we have a temporary secure spot. We can use this as our rendezvous for now. I

will give you a couple of transference tokens that you can.

Second, I kind of got a glimpse of how this pocket dimension works.

Third, I have some markers spread out and have a faint idea on where the undead creatures

and other participants are.

Fourth, we don't really have any scoring criteria. So, we don't have to be the ones to kill these

people. If I could help it, I would just try to limit the killings by my own hand and let the dimension take them out.

This way, we can focus more on the survival and less on the others."
