Chapter 1185: It Wants To Bring The Sky Down!
The first thing William made was to move half of his monstrous weapons, ten, directly towards the expected directions that monster would hit in the next few minutes.
He had few ideas, but as time was tight, he decided to go with something that could mess the monster's plans; using earth elements to strengthen the area, and also act to cover up what the monster would do.
At the same time, he moved three towards the holes the monster dug. If these holes were important for the monster, then he'd try his best to ruin it.
*Roar!*
"It's targeting my monstrous weapons?" The moment William sent those three out, the monster stopped hitting the holes it was making, and landed over one of them and destroyed it in one hit.
William expected the monster to defend its holes, but the monster moved faster than he thought, and that made him question if the monster was going to do anything initially or this was all a trap.
"It's getting harder to deal with monsters," William paused before he showed an evil smile, "yet the goal of all this isn't to kill that bastard, it's to stall time fortunately," he laughed while finding a way to waste more time with that monster.
It was nearly impossible to tell where that monster would hit next as it got insane speed. And yet, there was something that William noticed during the past few minutes.
Every single time that monster would make a move, it had to roar and then attack. So roaring became like an alarm signal for William, and every single time the monster roared, he called back all of his monstrous weapons at the frontline.
When he tried first to make them run back, this didn't help at all. The monster landing and hit was so massive to take away another monstrous weapon of his in mere seconds. Just the shockwave of that attack was enough to destroy one weapon, and show signs of damages at another.
"Forget it, I'll just call them back to me then release them again," William knew trying to outrun that monster using his dash technique was futile. Instead, he called these weapons back, forming a grandiose armour around his body, before releasing them again.
Using this method didn't take more than one second to accomplish, and that ended up for all of his weapons to come back safely. And the monster ended up losing its prey, just hitting the ground and creating another hole there.
"You were fooling around then, not trying to make an array or something," after half an hour, William finally heaved a sigh of relief, as the monster left behind tons of irregular holes, ones that couldn't be aligned together to form anything at all.
On the other hand, he kept playing this game of cat and mouse with that monster, without losing anymore of his precious weapons.
"Tired already?" After ten more minutes, the monster stood midair, far away from him, while doing nothing. William waited for the next roar, but it never came. His monstrous weapons already spread over the area, while part kept the arrays working, and another kept digging the holes.
This was going smoothly and right until that monster stopped roaring. William knew it figured out how futile this play was, and that meant it was going to change its tactics.
"I don't like this," As the monster stood midair for a few minutes, William started to feel uneasy. He felt bad omen assaulting him, and that was something alarming.
Spirit master's sense was something that shouldn't be neglected. The moment he felt like it, he called back the nineteen monstrous weapons, took five out, and let them start building arrays to protect him.
The moment he got such a feeling, he decided to leave this spot for now. Yet he couldn't just dash forward like he used to, or else he'd get drained of spirit power and die.
He wanted to take out all of the weapons, yet his intuition told him against it. So he just took five, the lowest number enough to make him move away fast enough.
Every monstrous weapon would take a few seconds to lay down a single array, then they'd move and lay others down. William had a path protected by arrays, ending up taking him away from the monster by two kilometres before the monster started to act.
The first thing the monster did was to start rotating. From this far, it appeared as if a gigantic black cloud was amassing power, ready to start a violent thunderstorm.
The rotating speed started to rise fast, and William couldn't help but feel the pressure. "It's accumulating spirit power from the pyramids… Damn!"
From his position, William could see the flashes of light moving like bullets, heading too fast towards that black cloud. The more it received, the bigger it grew, and more pressure Willaim felt.
The entire place William was in had no source of light from outside. Yet like the underground city, it got shining rocks illuminating the entire space here.
Right now, all the lights seemed to dim, as if the monster was negatively impacting everything with its growing dark mass.
"What does it want to do? I don't feel good about any of that," William thought before that this monster would pull a trick to force him out then snipe him down. And yet that didn't happen. Instead, it felt like the monster grew tired of this place, and wanted to take it down.
He knew the monster wasn't as strong as he expected, but it didn't mean it was weak. The monster was at early stage dark gold grade at least, or perhaps at the same level of power as him.
And that meant if that monster directed its full power to attack this place, bad things would happen. This space wasn't supported by any pillars, and it was just sustaining itself based on the natural phenomenon that formed it.
