Chapter 1080 A Golden Chance
In the end, the task didn't take half an hour, before they all stopped, and turned to look at the ball of light.
It was now much smaller than before, yet it still looked huge. "I hope you are going to be fine," Anjie tried to look for William everywhere, tried to reach out to him using Message Papers, but to no avail.
Her heart told her William was in the centre of this ball of light, was actually the one dragging it inside, the one handling it. She didn't know if he was going to end up okay or not, but she clung to hope with desperate prayers.
"We need to keep an eye over monsters…" the King was watching everything from his tent, and noticed that everyone was focused on that ball of light. He guessed what many now reached about William's role in all this. And yet he was thinking about the fate of everyone here.
So he spread orders, sending scouts to watch all the valleys, and even go into there and try to see what was going on on the monster side.
Monsters stopped coming here the moment William unleashed his scary technique. The king was shocked as well, shaken from deep within, like other masters, dark masters, and monsters.
He never expected that the causal order he issued out of his caution and fear for the worse would work best in their favour. News soon came back, the monsters were standing like petrified giant statues, and there wasn't a single enemy attacking anyone passing through the valleys.
"A chance! A golden chance to break through!" The king's eyes shone fiercely with the desire to fight, "Spread the news, let the vanguard armies go and take a bite at these monsters. Don't stop, just push forward, and try to clean paths for the army to pass through."
The king wasn't the only one excited about such news, everyone else was. The moment the news spread, everyone shouted in triumph. What was stopping them from getting out and crushing the enemies? It was this stupid massive wall of dead rocks!
By passing this, they'd end up killing the enemies like usual, or that was what they thought.
They all turned towards the ball of light and thanked William from the depths of their hearts and spirits. They prayed for his safe return from all this, and then the leaders started to send out a large number of masters, acting as vanguards.
Seeing all these masters running towards the mountainous walls made everyone think back about the bad encounters the scout units suffered before. But the moment they heard the loud shouts of victory coming from there, with humans shouting and monsters moaning in pain, roaring weakly as they fell to the ground, they all knew this was going to end a bit differently than before.
Masters who went deep into the valleys couldn't believe themselves. Tons of monsters stood there, motionless, waiting for slaughter, without even fighting back!
The most they did was roar when falling down, and even if any touched another monster while falling, it wasn't enough to jolt any awake.
At the same time, they never got attacked from above like before. That made the leaders get more daring, and start to issue orders for earth-based masters to lead the way, and pave a path towards the tops of these mountains.
Just before William would emerge from the ball of light, tens of grand paths were formed, leading from the ground, all the way to the top. Masters were already running towards the peaks, where they found tons of dark masters, standing like statues, in the same condition the monsters suffered.
"This is… Amazing!" The king couldn't prevent himself from laughing, "The hero of this war is indeed that lad, my daughter indeed has keen eyes like her mother, hahaha!"
"What just happened?!!" The ball of light kept shrinking down until it stopped to be just a few metres around William. He slowly stood up, and walked step by step outside of it, feeling immense power running through his body, feeling greatly refreshed.
He was feeling puzzled by this. He thought he'd be able to absorb spirit power enough to make him replenish what he lost to release this attack. But what he gained was way, way much bigger than that.
He gained over one thousand points in these mere hours. He didn't know this, but his attack was powered by the Black Phantom's pure and higher grade Devour ability than his. As the attack rampaged through everything around, it also devoured everything, salvaging spirit power even from the air itself!
The spirit power he absorbed came from thousands of monsters, tens of thousands of them even. And as the Devour ability was way higher in grade, it purified and concentrated this spirit power, making it increase his own despite coming from much weaker monsters than what he should absorb at this moment.
That weird feeling of being powerful after releasing such a brutal attack, without even consuming any elixir or anything, was quite new for him. William was about to check on his body when he noticed the weird happenings all over the place.
"This…" he couldn't help but spread out his spirit sense all around. The first thing he noticed was that his spirit sense covered a huge area of land, much bigger than what it had covered before.
"I grew stronger…" This was indeed the case here, without any speck of doubt or hesitation. William focused on what was going on around him and was shocked to see such grand changes.
The monsters were killed, the paths were breached, and there were tens of grand rocky paths leading all the way to the peaks of mountains. This was by any means a ground-changing shift in the course of this war, something that he couldn't believe it would happen in a mere one hour!
"Did I take longer or what?!!" he was immersed in his puzzlement, didn't get what truly happened here.
