Sam disappeared, the branch leader and the elders felt the changes in the energy.

They all thought, escaping is Sam's last resort, since the path was free from any traps, they didn't think that there would be any here and now that they saw something is wrong, they wanted to escape.

But it was already too late.

The surrounding space was suddenly restricted making them unable to move. They all froze. They could even move their limbs or even jaws to speak. Even breathing became order, some of them who were about to leap over were stuck in mid-air.

They struggled with their energy and wrestled against the spatial lock. But that is not the end, the spatial energy slowly started to become turbulent and covered a hundred-meter radius with the hill as the center.

He looked like a dying old man he is.

Sam dragged him out and looked at his hand. He used his sword to kill him off and he could see the relief that came to the old man from dying like that. The spatial energy corrosion is not something a body can bear.

The blast that Sam made is created with the liquid energy cells and a little experi
