Sivan looked at the smaller remote formation in front of him with a frown.
He doesn’t know what exactly is happening within the formation, but he didn’t have the expected reaction at the start.
Even though some people reacted in panic and confusion as he expected, but that is just for a small moment of time.
But soon it started to tone and most of the members didn’t even panic or cause any chaos.
He had to wait until the whole formation and the souls of the formation settled down to start the illusions.
But in process, he noticed a small change within the flickers that indicated the people in the formation.
One of the dots looked different. It looked like a combination of many dots together and he felt like something is weird.
So, he immediately connected himself to some of the light souls within that area to pry around.
Even though he still cannot get the visual, he managed to understand that there is indeed a change in that person. Mostly in their soul. While things are like that, Sivan also noticed something else. One of the light souls in that area suddenly changed its behaviour.
It merged with the soul of the person that is indicating an anomaly.
He wanted to cut the contract off, but he is not skilled enough to do it without messing up the whole formation, so he has to let it be.
He also figured that this contract will give him the most accurate location and sometimes even hints of what this anomaly can do.
As for the identity of this anomaly, Sivan is ninety percent sure that this is Sam. Even if it is not Sam, it must be someone taking instructions from Sam. But he is inclined to believe that is the former.
So, he instantly made a decision.
He is going to target this one person and eliminate any possible threat.
He started creating hallucinations to that person and then went to direct the hallucinations to the surrounding people in such a way that when they attacked, they will be targeted at Sam.
Sam who is currently blocking the attacks coming from different sides and his new found mediocre vision from the spectre is surprised and impressed at the same time.
He didn’t expect for Sivan to find out his location this fast and even use the formation’s abilities to start hunting him down.
Sam tried his best to dodge and block the attacks since he knew where they are coming from. His mediocre vision from the spectre and the soul along with the observation ability is making it possible for him to barely survive as he moved along.
Gail kept on snapping his finger creating this small sound and energy wave. This energy wave is so harmless that the souls don’t react to it.
Along with the sound and the time it took for him to feel the wave passing through, he can estimate Gail’s approximate location.
Since Sam cannot pin point his own location with all of this distorted vision and will make it hard for him to figure out the directions, he figured out a way.
It is simple math, but done in a complicated context.
First he clearly remembered his initial location when the light chamber was activated and he also know the distance Gail has from him.
Now he has two reference points.
Gail’s location will be fixed and wouldn’t change.
But Sam’s location would.
He already registered the sound and the time that it will take for the energy wave to hit him when he was at his initial location.
And now that he is moving around and both the sound and the time changes, he can calculate the approximate his own approximate location at any given moment from these two reference points.
His mediocre vision helps him with the immediate dangers as he moves forward and the map of the clan from his memory helps him to move to the destination that he wants to reach.
He is currently running towards the the tower that he just came out a few hours ago. He wants to go there and find a way to crack this thing.
Fifteen minutes has passed, but Sam was unable to reach as there are so many obstacles coming at him. The worst part is he cannot fight back.
Meanwhile, Sivan looking at the dot moving all over the clan while he tried his best to put as many people in his path as he can to make sure that he doesn’t reach whatever destination he wants to reach.
But after repeated futile attempts, he decided to go big.
“I don’t know what you are trying to do, but I am done playing around.”
As he said those words, he started tweaking the formation a bit and the glow over the city changed a bit.
While he is in that process, Avlyn who is watching the whole thing from the side spoke up.
“You said you were going to do something and something serious will happen a while ago. But I didn’t see any of it. Are you sure you are not bullshitting now too?”
Sivan frowned and turned to her.
“What is your problem with me? By any chance are you taking the anger you have on my father at me? Why are you constantly questioning my judgement?”
Avlyn didn’t say anything for a moment, but after a few seconds of silence she answered.
“You haven’t done anything to prove yourself until now. After a series of volleys you were unable to come out on top. Can you really blame me for not trusting your judgement?”
“Really? Then why don’t you go and attack the clan directly. I would like to see, what you would be able to accomplish by then.”
Now Avlyn became completely silent she didn’t even have an answer for that. Because that is not a great plan.
Even though there are a dozen of them, she is sure that Gail, Gamin and Yuvana will be able to hold them back while the clan escapes.
Then there is this clan leader, the right hand man and the leader of the elite team of the clan’s leader and finally Saran too. They cannot be sure of their victory.
Sivan looked at her expression and smirked.
“I didn’t think so.
Unless you have a better idea, don’t you dare question me again. Anyway, the thing you are wishing for will be coming. Something serious is about to happen.”
As he said that, he made a final tweak in the formation and called someone through the communication device.
“Alert the Ambush and assassination units. Tell them to go and set up a few meters away from the city. Outside that bright lit zone. Set up in the direction of entrance.
People will be showing up and you better not let them survive this situation.
Do you understand?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Good, be careful and don’t get cocky.”
As Sivan spoke, something really did change in the city. As the colour of the glow changed a bit, the people inside started feeling something is different.
Their skin started feeling a bit itchy at the start and soon it is replaced by a burning sensation. People of smaller cultivation levels felt like they are being roasted over a flame that completely enveloped them.
Sam who is moving around constantly suddenly stopped in his tracks as he tried to swallow the sudden pain that attacked him.
He immediately started channelling his energy and with his intricate control over it, he created a thick and close layer all over his skin to protect himself from this light energy.
“What the fuck is this guy doing?”
Sam blurted out in surprise. He is borderline shocked by this action.
This is one of the functions of the formation. But it consumes a lot of energy and puts a lot of toll on the operator. The one hundred thousand souls used offer many advantages, but it is also lot difficult for people to operate.
It will juice out the mental energy of them.
This change of the radiation takes a lot. It hurts the people within the formation, but it should always be the final card that he should play with the formation.
“The more I know about you, the more I think my loss is a shameful thing. You dumb fucking idiot.”
Sam muttered with frustration as he started running again.
At this moment, Sivan saw the dot moving once again and felt a bit frustrated as well.
“If you are really Sam, then what comes next will sure irritate you.”
As he said that, he started tweaking the formation a bit. Within that yellow glowing area, there is a small red spot that appeared and it fell on one of the dots that is very near the city wall.
In the city, at the moment, a red light fell on the city guard that is standing on top of the wall.
“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH….”
He felt like his skin and blood are burning at the same time. He looked around and moved into the yellow zone immediately.
