Sam let the puppets return after he was done.
With the energy resonance and the crystal table, he managed to map out every formation and he even managed to map out the elemental energies the formations used and got an idea of what kind of formation that it could be.
He lost four puppets in the process, but in turn, managed to make it so that the other party wouldn't try to destroy the rest of the puppets and at the same time tested the durability of the main formation.
All it needs is one and a half medium-sized liquid energy crystal exploding on top of it which would be enough to create an opening. Each bat puppet has a full-sized medium-sized liquid energy cell placed in them and half of the energy for each cell was consumed due to the energy resonance technique.
From this, he could estimate how much energy he needs to destroy the formation when it is in a completely defensive state.
