Sam leaped off the ground, rising to meet the monster with Terra's Will. The weapon hissed through the air as he summoned it, immediately expanding the weapon. A charge of devastation was born within its massive, silvery head, and Sam channeled every ounce of might that he could into his new technique. Instead of creating a voluminous mantle of semi-concentrated potency around the hammer, the energy shrunk down to coat it in the thinnest layer possible. The weapon burned with power, and a second later, Sam slammed it into the falling Shadow Raven. A tidal wave of force crushed its way through the titanic elemental, physical strength merging with all of Sam's other powers into one greater whole.
The monster rebounded, bulging around the hammer blow. With a tearing sound, half of it continued down and the other half ripped free from the rest of the body. The core of the Raven continued upwards, with Sam following. The remnants of the monster's outer body fell apart, drifting away like ash on the wind.
Already new wings were poking out of the formless mass of flesh, but before that could happen, Sam slammed his palm into the base of his hammer, sending a fresh wave of might through the monster's body. It was torn apart once more, revealing a gigantic onyx core in its center.
Before the elemental flesh could return, Sam held out one hand and speared the core with a bolt of crackling Dao energy. A crack spread across the stone, and within a second, it split in half. A groaning, rumbling hum rose up from the core and without further warning, it detonated.
Sam's grip on reality loosened as a storm of spatially aligned elemental energy shunted him through a thousand tunnels and passageways, eventually depositing him almost a hundred miles away. The Foreman was a distant speck, and his allies were even further. Sam got to his feet, and teleported. With the Raven gone, the battle was about to come to a close.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
The Foreman glared at the rapidly approaching Sam. His body was shrinking, the red hot power of his final skill vanishing as time went on. He had burned so many credits and treasures on that ability that its disappearance was almost physically painful. All that, for a bit of an edge over a man dozens of levels below him.
He shot a venomous look at the others, his useless companions. All of them were technically of the same status, and of the same level, but most of the other rulers of Stillgrave were weak, if not in the body, then in the mind. The Foreman had worked tirelessly to reach where he was, while the rest had simply inherited their positions.
Snarling, he kicked his way towards Sam, even as he felt the last vestiges of his skill vanishing. His body was almost back to normal, with barely anything to show for it. He needed to finish this off before he completely ran out of steam.

Sam crossed the sky like a bullet, each teleport taking him a dozen miles. Before a second had passed, he and the Foreman were close enough to engage once more. Terra's Will struck the Foreman's hammer, sending a ringing clag across the skies. This time, Sam shattered the man's defence, tearing the hammer from his fingers. He was tired of fighting the Foreman, and at this point, he was stronger than the other cultivator.
"You wasted your entire fortune, from the looks of it, and for what? To get an advantage over someone that you should have been able to obliterate in a fair fight?" Sam's voice was tinged with mocking humor. "You really are a pathetic man…"
The Foreman's face went red, the pure light of incandescent fury shining through his eyes. Sam laughed in response, and drove his hammer into the deranged man's torso. Bronzed skin crumpled beneath the blow, Terra's Will driving a shockwave of pure kinetic force into the E Ranker's body. Then a spike of the Dao followed, piercing the skin. It detonated a fraction of a second later and the Foreman's chest exploded.
