Ibra's glaive got few indentations around its edge and shaft, giving it a weird look and more ferocious appearance.
"Stay here, and wait for the great news," Ibra didn't even turn towards William as he ran towards the hole, jumped and vanished inside.
"Just about time," during this, William kept himself a hundred metres away from the battle of Ibra. Right now, the two severed parts of the monster were dancing madly in the air, releasing torrents of that brown fluid, spreading it all over the place.
William knew if he didn't do anything, this monster would die out of bleeding in the next five minutes at most. But this wouldn't count as his kill anymore.
"Time to act," William was quite eager to try out this technique in a real battle for the first time ever. Aside from the time he experimented how to do it, he never got the chance to actually use it.
But he didn't hurry to use it, as he didn't want to severely exhaust himself. He still prepared for the possibility of the survival of this monster after taking his hit thanks to its scales. And by then, William would have to use the light-based move to hit it again and kill it for good.
So, he walked back, closing the distance between him and the two dancing parts in the air, to reach almost fifty metres away from his target.
"I hope it works," William held his sword tightly, closed his eyes, as he recalled the feeling and experience of his successful trials.
And as he opened his eyes, his body flashed, while he started to wave his sword at the same time.
Five arcs of lightning appeared and stacked on his sword, before he finally dashed forward, hitting the two wildly dancing parts of the monster one at a time.
*Boom!* *Boom!*
The explosion this time came on twice and not once. William just wanted to release two arcs at the monster's head, and the remaining three at the monster's tail.
He decided to do so as it was widely known that the tail part of the monster was the weakest and deadliest part of it. However, when he attacked, he was bewildered by the result he got.
"The arcs… They attacked both parts, linked together as if I released ten and not five arcs here… Impressive!" William stood just twenty metres away from the two parts which were now nowhere to be seen.
A huge bellow of dust appeared, enveloping the entire zone he was in. The two explosions were too fierce, and William felt the ground underneath his legs violently tremble, then started to cave in.
What he didn't realise was that the attack went beyond the two parts on the surface and headed down towards the rest of the monster's body buried underground, mercilessly and violently attacking it!
The two explosions and what followed later were noticed by all of the spirit masters fighting in the hole. The entire ground shook and trembled, while the hole started to get deeper and wider on an alarming rate.
"Get out!"
"Escape!"
"Don't stand here!"
"Come with me!"
As this started to happen, and with the two unexpected explosions that came from above, all the spirit masters here knew something wrong was going on.
And all felt how bad it was to remain in this hole any longer!
Ibra, the five vice leaders, and all the silver spirit masters shouted at the same time. The bronze spirit masters acted to leave here, and the white members got carried away by the help of the silver members, Ibra, Berry, and Sara.
They all moved out in a fast way, jumping and crossing the distance to the surface in one second. The next thing they all saw after landing outside the hole was the ground fiercely rumbled, and bellows of thick dust kept rising up from the hole they just left.
"What's going on?!"
"What happened?!"
"Is it another monster perhaps?!"
Many exclaimed in shock, confusion, and fear, looking around to spot any incoming monster, or the source of threat which caused such a fierce reaction.
However, to their surprise, they saw nothing around. Only dust kept rising up from the hole, the ground around, and from one specific place.
"William!" Ibra's mind froze at the image of William standing out there when Ibra left towards the hole.
"What about him?!"
"What happened to William?!"
Sara and Berry got instantly anxious when they heard Ibra's muffled shout.
"I left him there," Ibra pointed towards the thick cloud of dust that enveloped and masked the vision towards the region William was at, "and I can't see him anywhere else."
The two, alongside others, moved their eyes all over the place, desperately looking and hoping for William to be alright.
"I'm fine," but just as they were growing sickly worried over him, William's calm and collected voice came from the heart of the thick dust cloud, "don't make everyone worry for nothing."
"Tsk! He is alive," Ibra said as if he was annoyed by this. However deep inside him, he felt a little relieved.
The two girls ran for a few metres towards that dust cloud, to be abruptly stopped with everyone else when they saw a shadow moving out, from the depths of the dust.
The shadow was slowly and calmly walking out from this thick dust cloud, taking one step at a time, getting closer to their vision. In the next few moments, William's face and body finally appeared clearly, getting out from there, holding his sword, without a single wound on his body.
"William!" Berry was the first to shout and ran towards him, not feeling herself but when she threw her body in his arms.
As for Sara, she just crossed her arms, watched William getting out from there, while a meaningful look was over her face.
No one saw what William did, but she could feel the darkness element William used. She felt something inside her spirit stirred up in response to an outside stimulus, a familiar feeling she experienced before.
