Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer-Chapter 1758: Stealing

As Sam noticed every player moving, he made the puppets follow them.

He steered puppets seamlessly. Even though he is controlling more than a few dozen of his own puppets, he is still keeping up with every player's movement.

Noah and Kumar as usual made their move together. They targeted a group of three targets. Noah's vines attacked the three from different sides. A batch of vines caught them by their feet and sped forward to hold their arms down.

Another batch of vines climbed up around them in the air and created a cage. The three of them were caught off guard and couldn't get out of it instantly.

As they struggled to get out, one of the vines gave out a spike filled with poison. It stabbed one of them in the spine killing them. The remaining two managed to find a weak spot and tore open the cage.

Only to see two spears zooming toward their faces.

They could feel the pressure from the attacks. They knew they are going to die right there.

When the spear tips are almost at their faces, when they started feeling the sharp energy emitting from the energy around those spears, they suddenly lost the strength in their legs.

They didn't even fall on his knees or fall forward, they fell backward. The spears barely missed them and went through the remaining part of the vine cage.

Noah and Kumar were stunned. They didn't expect this sudden change.

The targets might not have known what exactly happened there, but they know it. When the spears were about to kill them, the puppets came from either side and shot the light beams at the back of the targets' legs.

The shorts are so precise that they fell backward. Just like how Sam wanted.

As the targets hit the ground, the puppets, already started floating over their face and shot light beams into their eyes.

Not just one, within half a second, over six beams were shot.

The brains were drilled with holes through those eyes.

They are dead.

Noah and Kumar cursed in frustration. They knew these three targets are the easiest of the bunch, so they wanted to farm them before they move on to the tougher targets.

But Sam killed that idea by stealing their kill.

They are not the only victims though.

Donner sneaked up on one of the targets. He jumped onto the target from the roof of the house. But before he could even reach the target, Sam's puppet arrived and shot a light beam at the arm of the target.

The target took the hit and moved to the side.

The hammer didn't strike the young man on the head. But it hit him on the shoulder. The bones broke from the shoulder, spine, and even the legs. The impact from that attack is enough to almost kill that person.

The key phrase is almost.

As the target fell, Sam's puppet once again shot and killed the target.

Akhil and Arkiv are also working together. But unlike Noah and Kumar, these two have a very normal and straightforward strategy.

Akhil is more hands-on with his staff as he went and tackled the target directly. Meanwhile, Arkiv is attacking them from long range with his archery.

Since the start of their cooperation, they have been fighting like this. Arkiv would take one kill and Akhil will take the next one.

Akhil just used his unique fighting style to distract the target while Arkiv used his most simple archery techniques to weaken the target slowly.

They didn't expend much energy.

They mostly used their out-of-the-world physical strength with minimal spiritual energy just enough to make some damage and slowly chipped the targets' strength away.

They opted for the same strategy now, but too bad, the remaining targets are much stronger. But still, they held the upper hand. The only drawback is that they are spending too much time.

Sam didn't even have to use the puppets as he did with others. Just when Akhil and Arkiv used so much of their strength to wear the target down. Sam's puppet just came and shot the target to death before they moved away.

Sam didn't move that much. He just shifted positions while avoiding the targets within his area. Meanwhile, he just enjoyed stealing the kills from other players. But the ease with which he caught the first few targets didn't last long.

The targets are tough ones. The last remaining few. So, they are also making their move.

Sam observed them carefully and there are a few that caught his eye. One of them is a young man who had an extremely disfigured face.

The face looked like it was burned on the flaming grill. Like some kind of juicy meat.

His wounds seem very recent.

As Sam observed him through the puppet, he saw a projectile coming from that man's hands and hitting the puppet. It is destroyed. After the first one, Sam noticed that many more puppets are going down within that area.

Of course, after he saw this man's actions, he obviously tried to save the puppets to the best of his ability.

He started observing that guy from a relatively long range.

He must say that he was really impressed. This guy is fast and agile. And he has a pretty good sense of his surroundings. He moved around the streets like he was a fish in water. Every move of his is not only showing his familiarity with this place but how relaxed he is in this environment.

There is not a hint of nervousness in his movements. Even though he is a target that's being hunted by seven players. If the kill count of all seven players adds up, it could fill up a continent.

They are all skilled and dangerous and if anything these targets might have learned in the last few days is just that.

But to think even in such a situation, he would be that carefree and daring, Sam would have tried to recruit him after checking his background a bit if he met this guy in another scenario.

But right now, it is too bad that he has to be killed.

He is not the only one that Sam has got his eyes on.

There are two more candidates and this two are working together.

They are not at ease at all. They are extremely cautious. They also noticed the puppets, but they are not capable enough to defeat them. But they are skilled enough to avoid them at least.

Looking at their movements, Sam got curious and attacked them with the puppets, but they managed to anticipate it and dodged the attacks. They are also avoiding the players carefully while hiding themselves.

At this point, the first target and these two seemed to have been doing the same thing. They are avoiding the players and try to be safe from the puppets.

Sam is really impressed by these three people and if his estimation of the rest of the targets is good, then these three might last longer than the rest of them. And he would be able to use them to create a great ending for this game.

For the next few days, he started stealing the targets one by one. The players couldn't help but feel frustrated. After the first three steals from each of the players, they didn't dare make a move once again.

They didn't know how to proceed forward.

They tried destroying his puppets. But soon they realized it is nothing more than a waste of their energy.

Sam just sat there and waited for the time to pass. He didn't attack the targets for a while.

Only after he noticed that the players' activity has completely stopped, his puppets swarmed toward the targets.

The puppets swarmed and slowly narrowed the targets as they shot them with light beams. From that moment onwards, each target is attacked with at least over a dozen light beams at the same time when they are dead.

Sam made sure of that.

After he took down a few of the targets, something else happened.

The players noticed this and felt a bit anxious, they thought Sam would just sweep everything away.

So, almost as if they were taught to think the same, they all got the same idea.

All six of them went in different ways after the puppets. They followed the puppets that are slowly taking down the targets and just like how Sam did, they also tried to steal the kill and even succeeded.

Sam smiled when he noticed this.

The players at least showed some effort. But too bad, it is already late. By the end of the day, only a dozen people were left.

The last twelve managed to defend against Sam's puppets as well as the players' onslaught. But the only they survived is because Sam didn't want to kill them.

They are left for the next day's day mode.

But right now, it is time for him to enjoy the night mode. Along with the night mode he also has to enjoy the results of all the preparations he made in the day mode.
