The vitality surged.
The formation expert from the rcenary group was the first to be shocked. Not just from the pain though.
He was shocked about how the gambler team managed to surge the vitality, when he couldn't detect any formations in the vicinity.
And the counter for that was extrely simple. Even though Sam could co up with concealing formations that could work against the third grade level people, he didn't have much ti or patience to make them.
So, he opted for a different but most straightforward thod to tackle this.
He just laid down formations around the area, circling it completely and made the vitality disperse out of them.
Even though there was a lot of wastage, a ton of vitality was pushed towards the rcenary group and their bodies absorbed it. Their curses acted up and started eating at their wounds. Sam imdiately recalled the bird puppets.
They were just there to serve as a distraction and they did their job.
Now with the injured and cursed rcenaries, the gambler tea can easily handle them.
After around half an hour, all the mbers were subdued easily. They were captured and only a couple of people were killed.
The gambler team, forcefully bound them up and brought them back. They were scheduled more surgeries after all.
That night, while Sam and the Gambler team got busy with handling these people, the Hephaestus and Athena academy were finally given a proper wakeup call.
Even though they suffered so many losses at the hands of the Gambler academy, it goes without saying that they still underestimated them a bit. After all, no matter how much nace they created, they were still just one team.
Particularly, when the additional forces already put the Gambler academy on a backfoot.
But now, they realized that they ca back strong and they are swinging without holding back.
Through the night, the surgeries have been completed.
"Now, just ignore them for a while and target a different team. Another rcenary squad."
Those were Sam's instructions. Haziel went out to get so info to execute those instructions, but ca back with so different news.
"The opponents are making big moves. All their teams have been deployed. Since we weren't attacking the cities directly with the intent to occupy, they left most of them with minimal defense.
What should we do now?"
"We stick to the plan. Since they already sent people out, target the next rcenary group. This ti, we are going to make it brutal.
All I want from you guys is to find out the locations of various rcenary groups. Identify the coordinates of the place and let know and I will handle the rest.
We have two dozen good toys in our hand. If we use them properly, the ssage will be sent loud and clear."
"We are on it." Haziel deployed her team mbers while Sam was left behind with one person to guard him. While awaiting their ssages, he created a one-sided space gate.
Soon, he got the first ssage.
"The team is currently at the triver city. They are interrogating the locals. They might leave any mont. We don't have any presence in the Triver after all.
So, they might just be checking it off the list, just in case."
"Alright. Send the coordinates.
Hide and let everything unfold. If possible… capture one of the locals that's working with the opponents."
"Locals?"
"Yes. I wasn't inford much about the local situation. I need to study them a bit."
"Alright, I will try to find one. I am sure they have a few working among their ranks."
Sam got the coordinates and he adjusted the settings of the space gate. He took one of the unconscious rcenaries and shoved a pill in his mouth before throwing him into the space gate.
The rcenary regained consciousness, just as he felt the suction force of the space gate.
He disappeared from the spot, and reappeared at the entrance of the Triver City.
At that exact mont, so of the rcenaries who were doing the searches inside the city ca out. They looked at the suddenly appeared rcenary, without a single scratch on him, they grew vigilant.
Before they made a move on this search mission, the Hephaestus and the Athena teams gave them a briefing about how the first rcenary team got cursed.
So, they beca extrely vigilant of that fact.
Now that they saw one of the rcenaries ca in front of their faces without so much as a scratch, it is only right they were afraid.
But they were too late.
*BOOM*
The guy exploded with black flas and they covered the whole group in an instant. They didn't even have a chance to block it and this ti, the explosion was a lot powerful than whatever the first target rcenary produced.
Everyone burned in those black flas.
They burned fiercely and covered their whole bodies. The penetrated those armors like it was nothing and the group was unable to block flas with the energy. At least, not instantly.
The water elent users also felt a bit helpless as their water attacks barely did anything. However, the fire didn't last long as they poured more and more of their energy into it.
The fire died out, but the burns remained. A lot of their skin has been burned. Exposing the layers underneath. But they still felt like they are burning. They twisted and groaned in pain as they scread to high heavens.
When they hurriedly took out their pills and potions to heal themselves, the burning feeling intensified and they noticed that instead of gaining vitality, they are losing it more.
Before long, everyone fainted right there on the spot.
The gambler academy mber swiped in and entered the city. He went to the local guy who was working with the opponents catured him and brought him back with him. While he was on the way, Sam already got the locations on other teams.
He kept on sending these rcenaries one after the other and exploded them in their faces.
