There were lots of damaged and broken trees around. And from there, he saw lots of shadows flashing fast, coming towards here.
"Give us a minute!"
"I'll try to buy us a few more seconds," William took out his bow and arrows, released all of them towards different directions, stopping the incoming monsters using his fire, "that's all I can do. In twenty seconds, we will leave."
"Got it!" Sith urged his teammates to work faster. There was no need to say anything to anyone. All knew how dangerous their current situation was.
This battle was so big, enough to attract the attention of many monsters from the forest.
William took these few seconds to absorb three silver cores. No one was paying attention to him, and in the end, he got more points added to his spirit power, and his spirit power got replenished almost to eighty percent.
"Let's go folks, time to put down our greed and run for our lives," once the twenty seconds passed, William shouted, while not looking back and started running forward.
And like him, everyone stopped what they were doing and began to madly run for their lives.
This time, he was running with enough spirit power to make him fight while running. And that just came at the right time, as he and Sith's team were about to get the hellish run anyone would face in this forest.
"Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! This is bad!"
"We are surrounded! We aren't running away but heading directly in the middle of this big army of monsters!"
"What shall we do now? Hey! Sith! Say something! Do something!"
Just after running for ten minutes, everyone got to stop. They were surrounded, totally surrounded by dense layers of monsters which were coming fast at them from all directions.
"This…" Even Sith didn't know what they should do. William looked in a calm way at their faces, seeing how desperate they were to find a glimpse of hope.
They were panicked, but not that type which was assigned to cowards. They wanted to run, but not to abandon anyone behind.
William knew if at another time, if he wasn't here, then this team wouldn't have a single member running away and would all die here fighting together till their last man.
"We'll do the usual," And as William began to like this bunch of spirit masters, he slowly said, "it may seem like the monsters got us cornered, but this isn't true."
"Dude, wake up! Open your eyes and look around! We are already surrounded! There isn't a single path out of here without tons of monsters blocking it!"
"If there isn't a path, then we'll dig it ourselves," William said as if this was something trivial or easy to do, "let's just do it this way, let's fight and kill until we find a way out or fall. After all, you have no other way but this way, right?"
Everyone looked at each other, before they all looked up at Sith. He was their leader, and they trusted his judgement and call.
"Are you confident about your plan?"
"Around seventy percent," William paused, while the monsters were getting closer, "it's now or never."
"Let's do it then," Sith decided, "what do you want us to do?"
"Just like before," William shrugged, controlling his knives to fly in a full circle on top of his head, "just let me take the lead, and you make sure to not fall behind."
"This…"
"Just follow me and kill these damn monsters, it's not simpler than this," William didn't even look at them when he said these words. And the next moment, he dashed forward, crossing close to fifty metres in one jump.
"Let's follow him," Sith had no other choice but to follow him. William didn't give them any instructions, or even gave them any plan at all.
He simply told them to follow him, and he dashed forward like a reckless fellow. They all felt like he didn't really have a plan or a way out, and just said these words to make their end look a little glorious in their eyes.
However, they never expected to see William fight in such a way! As William dashed forward, his knives that were flying on top of his head suddenly started to expand outwards while moving in a full circle.
One knife after another kept rotating fast, as if they were in some sort of a race or something. And just as William met the first wave of monsters, his knives were already rotating at a terrifying speed.
They didn't look like a group of separate knives like before, but a big circular electric saw that was sharp enough to hack and kill anything in its path.
"This… Sith, do you recognise what kind of trick this kid is using?"
"Trick? Hell no! It's magic! He must be a sorcerer!"
"Magic my as*! This kid is definitely using a high-grade technique or something."
"No, I can't see any spirit power coming from these knives. It's not a technique."
"Then what is it? How come these knives are flying this damn fast?!!"
"It's his spirit element," and as everyone was getting shocked and puzzled by William's actions, Sith slowly said as he was watching the bizarre scene in front of his eyes.
William dashed forward once, attacked monsters close by using his sword. This was a normal thing, but what his knives did wasn't.
They were flying at a circle of five metres radius when he dashed out. And now? They expanded and moved in a circle that was fifty metres at least in diameter.
Such a scale was enough to cut through any monster that would come into contact with these deadly knives. Not to mention they already went beyond the place Sith's team was.
In a single move, William didn't only start a massacre all around, but he also helped in securing himself and the team with him.
And that wasn't all!
