Chapter 1140 These Idiots...
William had to find a way to keep threatening that ceiling, prove to them that he knew what they schemed by that formation, and how serious he was at trying to destroy it!
The formations he used would last for hours, and he was ready to replenish them once the materials got exhausted. And yet after one hour of constantly hitting the ceiling, the enemy leaders finally got the message.
"That jerk! He won't stop until he destroys our teleportation formation!"
"How come he knows about it? Wasn't it supposed to be something of the outer world?!!"
"I never met someone like him, someone as hard to deal with or fathom!"
"We need to act fast! He is using an element that antagonises our darkness. If this continues for a few more hours, the entire formation will crumble!"
The statues got panicked by what William was doing. And that was precisely what he wanted them to feel. From the side, the Nightmare monster watched all of this happening without saying a single word.
If any, he developed a smug smile over his face, as if he was enjoying how they were suffering because of William.
"These idiots! I warned them before, told them to take care once and for all of that human. And yet they neglected and even mocked my suggestion. It serves you right, bastards!" he thought to himself, while moving his eyes towards one direction, "at least I have a way out from here if things went wrong. We can detonate the entire region, including the underground one, and leave through the portal. He damaged the first layer of the explosive trap, but we still have another buried deeper than that ground…"
He wasn't worried thanks to that. And that was also why others didn't lose their cool despite losing this much.
They had two layers of explosive traps laid there. William destroyed one, yet the second one was still intact. The only drawback of this was that it needed a longer time to activate. And it would release signs that William nor other high-end masters would miss.
Another problem was that if the explosion came from deep layers, the explosive tiles wouldn't release much of their powers. They tested it before in another area and exploding it from deeper levels released much weaker and far limited explosive waves than doing it from the superficial layers.
That was why moving everyone down there was crucial to get rid of them. At the same time, they'd leave through a gate, heading towards a secured base of them.
None thought about a trivial detail, one that'd change the entire situation upside down. Even if William never realised a clue about the presence of a second trap layer, the plan he had been working on for a time now was weirdly hitting the enemy's trap in a deadly spot!
At the same time, it'd allow him to catch up with his enemies, against what his enemies would expect in their wildest thoughts!
Under the watchful gazes of the Nightmare monster, the Transformers activated the teleport formation.
During all this, the situation at the surface was growing better and better. The king was out of options against such deadly attacks of the enemies. He tried everything, and nothing worked!
He could only stand there at one peak, watching the masters down below fight deadly battles against such odds. Not all of the fortifications got lost, but even the ones standing down there couldn't help those who got breached.
That was one of the main factors that made the situation worse for everyone. They could hardly keep their posts unbreachable, unable to lend a helping hand to anyone.
Yet this all changed all of a sudden. Without warning, the seemingly endless swarm of enemies coming from the holes dried up.
It felt like someone flipped a switch, or the enemies just lost all of their forces down there. The holes stopped gushing out more force. And that single change made all the difference.
Masters could now kill the enemies without worrying for much more to show up. The first to get freed from such a nightmare were the ones stationed inside intact defences. They managed to slay all the enemies around them, and then they moved out to help others.
They didn't need orders to do so, they acted out of pure instincts. The king watched the entire situation down below change drastically for the better, quite fast actually.
The stressed and pressured-out masters exploded! They fought the enemies down below and killed them like they never fought for days!
In less than six hours, the entire base was cleared in a fashion that inspired everyone. The masters fighting at the forefront learnt of the news, and could feel the changes already by lacking the threatening enemies coming from behind.
As there were no more threats from the rear, they focused everything on taking down the enemies up front. For the first time since everything changed, they started to push the frontline again.
The king and other high-end masters could heave a deep sigh of relief at last when they saw all this. The nightmare was over, and they knew it was time to do something about these holes.
They didn't know what caused the enemies to stop were William's actions underground. And so they dispatched teams, all earth-based masters, worked over blocking these holes, and put an end to such a threat.
After that, the king gave orders. He let loose his forces to go out and attack all the enemies over the peaks, killing whoever was there, and taking down tons of them while adding more peaks to their reign.
Even after suffering great losses, getting exhausted, and such, the masters managed to keep pushing the frontline forward.
The enemies already rearranged themselves, focused solely on the valleys, trying to take down the masters in the past days. This made the remaining dark masters over the peaks quite low in number. And that made it much easier for the masters to claim more peaks.
