Chapter 1116 Panic!
"Are you sure the entire place is lying on a grand bomb?!" he couldn't help but ask again, and William confirmed this, "That's… That's quite bad!" he wanted to roar in anger, but he controlled himself to not arouse any suspicion.
As he learnt about the reasons that drove William to make such a decision, he agreed on it. It was better if they stuck together, as William's intentions were clear. He wanted to go there and mess with that fuse formation, the glaring weak spot of the entire scheme.
Yet it went without saying that such a weak spot would be heavily guarded by the enemies. It was going to be a real challenge for all of them, and yet they had to take such a step if they wanted to survive this.
William didn't say anything else, knowing that Fang was smart and experienced enough to read through his intentions. As he left the task of gathering everyone here, he started to think about what to do to go there and ruin the formation.
Such a formation must be located near the shining ground. And that meant they needed to dig deep, and they had to deal with that formation next.
To ruin a formation, the easiest way was to locate its foundations and remove materials fueling it. But he was sure such a formation would be something built on the outer world's knowledge, and that meant there must be traps laid there, and lots of defences to make it hard to remove the materials.
Formations in the outer world had a very special stance, and they were quite valuable. Building one wasn't that easy like doing it here, as they got auxiliary formations and arrays to serve and defend the entire grand formation.
If that was true, then the task of ruining part of the formation here was going to be quite challenging. If they didn't have such dense enemies around, then William was sure of their ability to handle that formation.
In addition to that, they were pressured by the tight timeline they got. He didn't know how long the enemy needed to fuel the formation, but it seemed like they had been doing this for a long time already.
And there was another problem, how much of the formation they needed to mess for it to stop running? This was something he wasn't sure about.
As he was lost in his own dilemmas, others around him received Fang's distress signal. The latter just told them to come, as this was the request of William. He stressed later on the urgency of this after he learnt about what William discovered here.
"At least tell us why we need to risk everything and come to you! It seems like you are doing great, not needing any help!" Sloth sent back, asking for more clarification, the thing that many other high-end masters also did.
For Sloth, he knew trying to move towards William was going to be a very dangerous trip. He didn't want to risk doing it without proper reasons.
And when he heard what Fang said, learnt the truth about the entire place, he couldn't help but suck a cold breath of breath.
"Damn those mtherfckers! They are aiming to kill all of us!" he roared inwardly, soothed with endless rage.
This wasn't just a danger towards masters, but also a threat towards the king and his daughter, against the formidable pillars and top masters of the kingdom.
Realising this made him see how grave the current situation was. Without any speck of hesitation, he contacted other high-end masters here.
"We are coming to you!" they all responded at the same moment, and that told Sloth Fang must have told everyone about the entire situation.
As they had to move to William, it was better for the high-end masters to join them first. Then they all together would march, while the stronger masters would protect the weaker ones.
The high-end masters were already fighting far away from the two of them. So it took them roughly two hours to arrive back at Sloth's place before everyone started to march towards William and Fang.
William didn't keep his hands anymore. He started to hit one monster gate after another, leaving only one behind, alongside the dark master gate.
If it was up to him, he'd ruin all the monster gates. But this would only leave the dark master gate behind, making it a bit weird.
So he kept his hands off one monster gate and selected the one closest to the dark master gate. He made it as if he feared hitting the dark master gate by accident, and decided to leave the monster gate to the end.
"They joined Sloth and others, and are marching now towards here," Fang delivered the good news, "they'll need around one hour to arrive. Anything to do before they'd come here?"
"I want you to preserve your powers," William slowly said, "make sure you won't overexert yourself."
"But…"
"I'm going to help," William knew at the upcoming last battle in this place, his role was going to be quite limited. He might be useful in digging the ground, finding a way to ruin the formation down below, but he wouldn't take part in any fight.
He expected the moment they arrived at the edge of this place and started unearthing the ground, the enemy would read through their intentions. Their response was expected, sending everything they got on their way. The enemies coming here would all be quite high-end, and very tough to deal with, and only high-end masters got a chance at stopping them.
William planned to use his lightning formation again, and his grand technique to aid others from behind. This was the best tactic he could come up with right now, the only tactic he could think of.
"Let's hope things won't be that hard back there," he sighed, while watching everyone running towards his direction, fighting monsters and dark masters during their march.
