Chapter 15 - Earth tiger

In the time the silence brought , Sam asked scout a question that had been bothering him .

' Are all energies like mine ? ' That simple question had been on his mind since he chose this energy , he knew the [ Energy ] was different , but wasn't sure how .

[ ... ]

' I have no time for dot dot dots . Answer me . ' He shouted in his mind .

[ Your energy is unique . You are the discoverer . All other energies require one to train all their attribute separately , but to you , all those attributes are simply ' Sub ' attributes . You simply need to focus on 2 attribute , while there are people who have more than 9 attributes . ]

' Thanks . ' Sam said as he looked towards the gate again .

" Fine . " The spirit said . " If the show is good enough , I'll even give you a perfect peak intermediate robe . "

Sam didn't understand as he removed the explanation interface away . Right now he had to fight .

As soon as he saw a slight shadow of the monster he asked for an appraisal on a monster for the first time .

[ Earth Tiger ]

[ Lord ]

[ Defensive species evolved from the base : Tiger . Their defense is extremely high . ]

[ ...

There was more , but he wasn't interested in it . He simple looked at the huge tiger who looked like he could crush him to bits .

He felt a strong pressure on him , something he had never felt .

This was due to the sheer strength of the tiger .

It moved extremely slowly towards him .

' Lemme guess ... '

[ They have sacrificed mobility and attack for defense . ]

' As I thought . ' He thought as he looked at the slowly approaching tiger .

He took 4 cards out of his pockets and threw them at the tiger which instantly tried to bite them . Unfortunately for him it was a 7 of hearts which entered directly into its mouth and zapped it from inside followed by 2 water balls that completely drenched it in water followed by a freeze which completely covered it in ice .

" I know spirit . Shut the fuck up . " Sam said as soon as this was done .

Spirit was surprised , because it felt Sam was going to use the same truck he used against the small tigers and was about to warn him . ' Let's see how far you go . ' He thought as he looked at the surprisingly knowledgeable boy .

Sam instantly took out 4 more cards and threw them at the tiger as he backed himself almost against the wall .

2 of the cards were space tears which both cut off the back legs of the frozen tiger . The other 2 cards turned into stamina curses which were directly absorbed into the tiger , above which appeared a skull and bones symbol .

' That shows it's cursed ? ' He thought but the symbol only showed up once so it was clear it only got debuffed once . ' So it isn't stackable . '

The ice on the tiger's body showed signs of cracking and it soon did . The tiger wanted to run towards it's enemy , but realized it's back legs were completely removed . It roared in agony which scared many of the people on the front seats . They didn't know why the boy wasn't attacking his target when the tiger became completely enraged and ran towards Sam who was almost against the wall .

' Come ... Come quick . I want to try out my fists next . ' He smirked as he waited for the tiger who easily pushed against the ground with its front paws and decided to kill the weak enemy with a single pound of it's paws , but as soon as it stopped in front of the weak human and tried scratching it with it's huge claws , the human moved back and easily jumped on it's paw .

The tiger tried to swat it away like a fly , but ended up throwing it above , after which a rain of elements fell on it's head .

Sam quickly took all the cards which could deal damage and launched them at the tiger as he jumped above it's head and backflipped once and almost fell as he landed behind it .

A rain of lightning , earth , wind , space , water , light , and ice element followed by fire and space elements attacks landed on it's head .

The space elements should have ended it , but Sam was ready for it to fail as he had already stacked 4 overlaps of magic on his fist .

He took advantage of the tiger being in a light headed state and started beating it up from it's side .

After about 5 seconds he quickly jumped over it's back which was laying against the ground due to losing the support of it's back legs and started beating it up from the other side as well .

After some seconds when the sounds of cracking bones was heard , he smiled viciously and directly put his hand through the tough skin of the beast and crush it's heart , ending it once and for all .

When he was done he simply leaned against a wall right beside the tiger . After about 10 minutes no one talked even now . Sam decided to show off a bit and directly summoned a deck of cards in his hands . He played with them a little . Shuffled them a little and then divided them in exactly half and put each half in one of his pockets .

Everyone saw his actions and everyone saw the smirk on his face as he looked at the tower while doing it . The could all put one and one together and figure out he had that deck with him at all times . And if what they thought was true , he could also release all that magic at once just like he did just now . They all figured out the cards bit in that message the spirit sent them .

' A deck of cards . 11 of them can be shown . 2 of them are his trump cards . '

They all had the same thoughts .

Even the spirit as it looked at the boy with interest . " You won the bet . This is the best intermediate robe I ever held in my hands and now I will pass it on to a talented magician . " As soon as he said that a robe appeared in front of him . " Don't disappoint me . There is profit for me even if it's you that gets stronger . "

The second part wasn't heard by anybody else except Sam as everybody had already vanished .
