Chapter 1101 Attacking The Underground Enemy's Base
"Sure, let's go," Anjie's tone changed, was filled with hope and confidence. With everyone her father sent here, she was feeling the confidence to go through this battle.
William didn't know about any of this. He simply dashed towards the opening, and there he found himself free falling. "Damn! They made it perfectly vertical, is it a trap then?" feeling his body free falling, he didn't hesitate to take out his weapons, clashing against the fast passing walls to reduce his descent speed.
"Got you!" After struggling for two minutes, he finally managed to stop his body from descending freely. He had to turn to his spirit body form, using his tails to cling to the prominent rocks on the walls. Once he stopped his descent, he took a few seconds to catch his breath, then spread his spirit sense down below.
"It's indeed quite deep…" he saw the tunnel he was falling inside extending for five more kilometres, before ending in a huge open space. The distance between the ceiling and the ground was around two kilometres at least, and the place opposite to the tunnel's end was filled with tons of deadly thorns that looked both dangerous and toxic.
He guessed it right. And as he confirmed his earlier doubts, he started to slowly climb down. He kept his spirit sense focused down there, before taking a Bullet and warning Anjie to be cautious when descending.
He didn't wait for her answer, and kept descending. When she got his message, she was about to enter with Sloth and everyone else.
"Wait… There is a trap down there…" she told everyone what she just heard from him. The moment she said that, and everyone stopped. They asked for what happened, and she simply said what William just told her.
"It's quite expected to have traps down there," one of the masters who came with Sloth said, "the only problem is what he'll do against these…"
"He got Fang, so no need to worry about him," Sloth shrugged, "let's get down slowly, we don't want to end up falling in that trap."
They agreed to take it slowly, the same thing Fang also decided. As for William, he just went down pretty fast, clinging himself to the walls using his tails. He was like crawling on these walls.
During his descent, he paid more attention towards the world down below. He could see lots of humans wearing black cloaks, with tons of monsters down there.
They didn't seem to be there for him, for anyone. It felt like the idea of finding an entrance to this base and getting down there wasn't in their list of possibilities.
"They are gathered up to do something else…" William noticed these enemies weren't moving, weren't sitting to rest. They seemed to stand there, waiting for something to happen, "are they here to attack us from behind?"
This was the only possibility he had in mind. Their presence like that had no other explanation, and he guessed it partially right.
Just when he came to the edge of the tunnel, carefully leaning his head out from the hole, and before he'd moved to the ceiling, he found something there.
"A formation?" William saw lines and symbols, all shining bright red, like they were drawn by blood and spirit power mixed together. The formation he spotted wasn't in just one direction, it covered the entire ceiling, extending on top of the heads of everyone down below.
When he spotted this, he knew he had to inspect the entire structure before deciding what it was used for. It was also connected to the purpose of all these enemies gathered down below. And yet he couldn't see everything from his current spot.
"I need to start killing them first," he shifted his attention towards the endless enemies down below. He couldn't tell their power grade just from looking, and so he started to plan his attack.
"I'll first create a distraction," he pinned himself to the side of the opening, only showing his head from there. Then he took his bow and arrows out, aimed for various far away locations, and fired.
The explosions that rang there caused enough ruckus to disturb the enemies down below. They moved towards the spots of explosions, while few smart ones looked at the directions these arrows and grenades came from.
When they looked up there, they spotted a fox with four tails, moving on the ceiling like it was a monkey. When William crossed enough distance away from the trap laid at the bottom, he didn't hesitate and dashed, crossing the entire distance in one jump.
"The enemy is coming!" Just before the smart dark masters would shout and alarm everyone, William landed. And a bloody massacre started!
William didn't hold back anything this time. From the moment he landed on the ground, he unleashed his ten monstrous weapons, his flying weapons, and used all the techniques he got. He didn't stick to one spot, kept jumping everywhere, flashing non-stop, hitting everyone he met.
He spread grenades all over the trap area, knowing this would be the main obstacle for Anjie and others when they'd arrive here. He never knew they got more help, he got more help, and they were going as fast as they could right now when they heard the loud explosions that rang down below.
The tunnel that looked black before was now dancing with bright lights. Anjie wasn't the only one worried about William, but all of the guild's newly joined masters shared her the same feeling.
As for Sloth and others, they could see what was going on down below using their spirit sense. They knew what lay in wait down there, saw what William was doing alone, like a shark in the ocean, with enemies so densely packed down there to be like ocean waves.
William was apparently holding up, but as they looked around, they knew things were meant to turn for the worse soon enough.
