Not to mention he was right, and they knew it deep down in their spirits. Even if they were deadly worried about him, they had to do as he said.
Gathering ten thousand masters wasn't a problem. The guild members who followed them here were in the hundreds of thousands, a number that was enough to form an army on their own. The only drawback in this was their lack of enough power to contend against the enemies here.
As they relayed the news, the guild members showed another remarkable feature to all the high-end masters here; discipline and order!
Any other army of masters would take a long time to arrange themselves into the teams William asked for. But in mere minutes, teams got formed, and they stood in their places as he asked.
"It's time to bring these mtherfckers a surprise," William arranged this formation so he'd be in the heart of it. All he did was to lay down a smaller version of that one hundred star-shaped formation around him using his blood and different vibrant ores.
Seeing these ores made the two girls worry even more about him. No matter when or where the moment William started to use these ores, it meant he was going to do something scary and crazy.
"Ask them to release their spirit powers," he said in a low tone, closing his eyes, while standing in his place motionless, "let them release their spirit powers and elements, use all the techniques they can. If they got any potions or elixirs, let them use them as well."
"Fine…" the girls relayed the news while retreating for tens of metres away. They didn't want to do that, but he asked them to. Watching his body faintly tremble as he stood on his own made their hearts clench.
At this moment, the entire battlefield was heading slightly under their control. The explosive grenades released by the ballistae managed to bring severe damage to the incoming monster tide, and to the surrounding dark masters.
At the same time, the guild masters kept coming from outside, heading like an unstoppable flood towards the interior of the fort. Even with their large numbers, any clash with the enemies ended in them losing a large number of their masters.
"Let's even the odds a little bit," William looked at the incoming monster tide from the front, at the large number of dark masters surrounding him and his friends, guild masters, and allies from all sides, looked at the incoming guild masters from outside while fighting desperately a losing battle towards the dark masters near the walls, and he became more determined to do it.
"Make them release everything they got, do it now!" he shouted, and even his voice came shaky and weak, all the masters around heard and heeded by his orders.
The moment they released their spirit power, elements, and techniques, the entire world around them changed.
The masters released everything as ordered, and instead of their techniques to move forward, instead of their spirit powers and spirit elements burning around like blazing fire, they watched everything move as if they were dragged slowly by some kind of force.
William's body was bathed in different coloured flames from the first moment he activated the formation. The blood he left on the ground shone before it started to form some sort of a curtain of red light that started to elevate up and cover him in a bubble.
He got surrounded, and all the masters making this formation got engulfed by a mixed-coloured gigantic bubble. Seeing this from afar made many stop what they were doing, turn their eyes toward that direction, and wait.
Be it enemies or allies, everyone felt something grand was coming. The only thing that didn't get affected by any of that were the monsters. They kept running towards the humans, trying to devour them.
The incoming wave of monsters was severe and huge enough to let the grenades not affect or stop them.
"Die!"
But then everyone in the entire fort heard such a majestic voice, one that came from the sky, as if it came from some sort of a god or something. Everyone who knew William knew this was his voice, and hearing it coming from the sky, coming in such a majestic and strong way, made them question themselves.
And what happened next gave them the shock of their lives!
The moment William's words landed, the sky started to dim. Out of nowhere, whirlpools appeared, small in size, but they were very huge in number. Everyone thought they were going to issue thunder and lightning, or something like that. But that didn't happen.
They all watched these whirlpools flash like bolts of lightning, and slam against one of the masters on William's side. When everyone expected pain or something bad to happen to them, they were astonished to see nothing.
When they looked closer, they noticed the faint circle that surrounded their bodies. It was one at first, but soon enough, it proliferated and became many, covering up almost their entire bodies.
"Listen up…" When they all grew puzzled by this, William's voice came to explain things to them, "I'm going to support you, not only me but everyone else. Just release your techniques and fight the way you used to. Don't fret, and you'll get what I mean when you release your techniques…"
His words didn't explain anything, but they trusted him. He didn't just lay down these circles around the high-end masters on his side, but over many of his incoming guild masters as well.
He selected ten thousand masters from all over the battlefield, supported them, and let them enjoy something cool.
"Let's do it!" Sloth shouted while feeling more pressure by the large influx of the dark masters coming from the front. He was with a small team of his, fighting desperately and trying to protect the incoming large number of the Fox guild masters.
