That was the case in the underground city, but here it was different. So William didn't care about any of that and kept doing his task until everything was ready.
"Let's do it," William came by Sloth's side and took the crystal from him in one hand, while the other held a group of grenades, "Make sure the moment the gate is open to jump into it. Don't care about anything else, got it?"
"Take care of yourself first!" Sloth harrumphed while waiting to see how William was going to activate it. He already heard about the way to activate this crystal from other city leaders and high-end masters who were close by when two monster gates were summoned.
He thought William would do something else, but he just slammed the crystal to the ground, while waving the grenades randomly around. He didn't need to target anything with them, knowing that the moment these grenades got detonated, others would catch fire as well and explode.
"Let's go!'' The moment he smashed the crystal a few metres away, a surge of domineering spirit power got released. William felt like he got slammed by a fierce wind or something, but he resisted the power and remained pinned in his place.
As he shouted, the crystal released a monster gate. He knew they had a little window of time, a few seconds perhaps before the gate would release tons of monsters towards here. At the same time, the grenades he released would detonate, fiercely exploding other grenades around, ending up turning the entire place into a piece of hell.
He didn't look at Sloth, didn't look at anything else, and simply dashed forward. He was in his full fox mode, holding all the weapons he had, and dashed directly towards the gate.
By his side, Sloth was moving much faster than him. The two passed through the monster gate like two bolts of lightning, vanishing inside while the next moment, a gush of dense monsters appeared.
*Roar!*
The monsters roared, announcing their appearance in the world. And yet what welcomed them was a fierce wave of fire, one that enveloped and engulfed all of them inside, killing all, leaving none alive.
The monsters came out for the next few hours and kept getting killed and incinerated by the trap William placed there. What made the fire last this long was the use of vibrant ores, which acted as fuel to make the fire run for long hours.
That was why William used tons of these ores. This trap took much more than what William even imagined when he made it. The monsters coming out from the monster gate were quite dense and numerous, and they were killed the moment they appeared. So in the end, and without even realising it, William alone managed to take away almost ten percent of the expected total monster tide volume in mere hours!
As for him and Sloth, the moment they passed through the portal they found themselves in an alien place.
"We are here!" William instantly recognised this place. It was the same which he saw before in the fate and destiny world, the place where that despicable master was.
Yet when the two arrived, they didn't see anything. They appeared just next to a small hill, while many others were around, covered all in green grass.
"I'll look for him," Sloth whispered, before spreading his spirit sense. William didn't speak, spreading his spirit sense as well, while searching for that man.
He first thought that man would be waiting for them here, but it seemed he wasn't. Something felt amiss the moment William scanned the area under his spirit sense coverage and couldn't get a glimpse of that man.
"Damn! He is running away!" Before he could say anything, Sloth pointed towards a direction, then extended his arm, grabbed William, and the two raced by Sloth's insane speed.
"Is he too far from here?" This was the first question that rang in William's mind.
"Not that far, it seemed he got alarmed by us coming here… But how? Who did it?!" Sloth thought about a different matter, a thing that didn't interest William.
"Reason doesn't matter, we need to stop him before running away," William said what Sloth already had in mind.
"Don't worry, he is already running while climbing," Sloth evilly grinned, "he is just twenty kilometres away. By my speed, we'll reach him in ten minutes."
"Good," William then started to look around, spreading his spirit sense, trying to find any trace of the other hidden enemy.
He never told anyone about that spirit, or else he'd have to explain things he didn't want others to know and would be too difficult to explain in the first place.
The chase didn't last longer than fifteen minutes before arriving at where that man was. What made them take a bit longer was a grand mountain that stood in front of their path.
Sloth decided to directly climb it, while the man circled around. In the end, the two parties met just at the other end of that mountain, and the three masters exchanged hostile gazes towards each other.
"How did you come here?" the master said in a vicious tone, "Don't bother… I'm going to finish you first before running away. Who knows if other rats are coming here or not…"
"Stop bullshitting us! If you got it in you, why the hell did you run in the first place?" Sloth got overwhelmed by rage thanks to that man's words. In a flash, he dashed forward, aiming to hit that master and finish him in one blow.
"Stop! Retreat! Go back now…" yet William was half a beat slower than Sloth. The man already arrived at his foe, and waved his sword, aiming to decapitate the man while using the fiercest technique he had.
His sword and body were covered in bright dancing arcs of lightning, looking strong enough to crush an entire mountain with a single blow of his sword.
