Chapter 1108 Dig!
"I hate these hyenas!" At some point, Anjie couldn't help but shout in frustration, "Isn't there a way to solve all this? They are coming like they have no end!"
"This is nothing compared to what William is facing," Sloth said this, and everyone here gave him a weird look, "ahem, what? Do you think such monsters came here out of thin air? A monster gate appeared at William's side, and all this is just the leftovers from fighting with him."
"..." Hearing that all these hyenas they struggled to kill were just an extra, and William was dealing with the main outbreak alone, made everyone speechless. The higher masters knew all this from the start, and they truly admired William. He was standing alone in front of all this, without having a single help from any high-end master. And yet he didn't show a single sign of fear or panic, always thought of ways to solve the situation and break through the densely packed monsters.
"We should go and help him then," Anjie made an emotional decision, one that was instantly rejected by the older masters here.
"You should care about your lives first," Sloth sighed, "if we are alone, we'd have fought better. But we need to carry you along, and we are even facing great trouble in doing so."
"..."
Anjie got what he wanted to say. Sloth meant they were going to be a great hindrance and liability over William's shoulders. And so they shouldn't get near him at the time being.
"How about we take the kids to that tower?" one of the big masters suddenly suggested, "he left two grand towers, and the first one is suitable for them to fight there and defend themselves perfectly."
"Nice idea," Sloth agreed, "let's go, this isn't a fight you should take part in."
No one of the guild's newly joined masters gotta say that. They all felt how hard this battle was, how high level it was, especially after the appearance of that monster gate.
So they followed the older masters without saying anything. In the end, they arrived after a few hours towards that tower, the first hill William built, the one with five stages on its side.
"I'll stay here to help them," Sloth would never let Anjie alone, "you go, kill, and fight freely, I wish you good luck."
All the high-end masters here came from the kingdom, and they had undying loyalty to the king. If Sloth didn't volunteer to do it, then others would have done the same. So they didn't object, leaving while Sloth led everyone to the stages and top of that hill, taking it as their base for now.
At the same time, William noticed their presence there. "Nice pick, old man," he muttered, knowing that this was a very wise decision indeed.
That hill might not be that strong, but it was enough to stop the monsters from coming. By eliminating the danger of monsters, the guild masters and Anjie would have it much easier. They only needed to deal with dark masters. And with Sloth's presence by their side, it was hard to face a real threat over there.
As he got reassured over his guild's newly joined masters and Anjie, William returned to fully focus on fighting the hyenas and enemies around. He kept releasing his fire and fought in the same pattern as before.
He killed tons of monsters and enemies and even had time to collect loot as well. He felt like he was missing something important when he just fought without cleaning the battlefield. And yet there was still something annoying.
"I need to dig the ground," this was the thing he felt more frustrated about. Without digging and getting what was lying deeper in the ground, he wasn't going to uncover the true scheme of the enemies here.
Yet he didn't have enough time to do this. All the time, new hyenas would pass through the fire ring, and on some occasions, he'd also face dark masters.
The enemies never stopped flooding his way, and he had no way to dig the ground for now. He tried to let his earth-based monstrous weapon to dig the ground, while he and others handled the enemies. But such a tactic failed miserably. The technique he used became weaker, and couldn't stop all of the enemies in time.
He faced a life-threatening situation when a group of dark masters passed through the fire and didn't get affected by the technique he released over other monsters in the opposite direction. They flashed and surrounded him, using a mix of techniques that ended up entrapping him in the middle of the dark world, with his reflexes and moves getting greatly slowed down.
Just when he released his Holy Sword technique, he evaded the assault of tens of hyenas just by a hairbreadth. He killed everything around him and decided to not go through this experience again.
So he called back his monstrous weapon, the earth-based one, and used all of the monstrous weapons to release his grand technique.
Things stabilised again, and he could only accept such a result.
"Do you need help?" Just when he dropped any idea about digging the ground, he heard Fang's voice coming to his mind directly using spirit telepathy.
"Sure, why not?" William didn't reject such help in such a critical time, "Come here, we have lots of work to do."
*Fwoosh!*
It felt like Fang wasn't that far away in the first place. In a few seconds, William heard a loud wind fluttering noise coming from one direction before Fang landed from the sky, standing by his side.
"What do you want me to do?" Fang asked in a weird excitement, as if he already hit the jackpot.
"Dig!" but the order he received from William left him a bit baffled. He looked at the youngster in front of him, blinked, and stood there speechless for a few moments, "What? Aren't you here to help?"
