William controlled his far away ten knives, made them rise up in the air, move anywhere he wanted, attack the clones that were this close from taking down the monsters up there.
His sudden interruption helped in decreasing the insane advancement speed of the Nightmare monster clones towards him and others.
"Don't stand your ground! Keep moving!" Just when he was rocking it, Sith's sudden shout came to jolt him awake.
He still had to keep following them, and that meant he had to not only increase the distance between him and his knives, but also, he had to go through the monsters around.
"Hey dudes, why not let me pass through?" William turned towards the surrounding monsters, and the next thing he got was many enraged roars.
"That's what I thought," William helplessly shook his head, realising that the monsters were about to attack him.
And in response, he waved his sword, prepared to stop any incoming attack with the help of his knives, and pierce his way through the monsters around by force.
*Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!*
The next instant, he was this close from starting a carnage here when many monsters flashed and vanished from around.
"This…" as if he saw heavens fall to the ground, William stood motionless in his place, totally stupified by what just happened.
This time, he didn't use what Ibra thought as his magic power to control monsters. He simply asked for their cooperation after he attacked and saved a few monsters, and then the monsters acted as if he was one of them!
This… This was something that William would never dare to even dream about!
"I must be hallucinating, right?!" he even slapped his face to make sure he was awake, and the pain he felt on his face told him that.
"What are you doing standing like this, slapping yourself? Come on! This isn't the time to lose it!"
And from behind, all Sith and others saw was William freezing in his place for a few seconds, then slapping his face with his own hand.
From their far spot, they couldn't see the few monsters that moved away from William, opening a path for him to walk through without the need to do anything!
"C… Coming!" William shouted while still doubting everything. He turned towards the monsters around, and every single one he met their eyes ended up shifting theirs away.
"Incredible!" He took a deep breath before starting to walk, heading in the path that kept expanding by more monsters moving away, joining the battle against the Nightmare monster clones.
This kept happening for the next ten minutes. In fact, William never felt so carefree in his life, walking through such a large group of dangerous monsters without even feeling a single speck of fear.
But to his notice, this only applied to him. The monsters kept harassing and attacking Sith and his team members, not listening to William when he tried to point towards the team and asked the monsters to f*ck off.
"They only listened to me thanks to this monster's danger? I see…" William realised something. He didn't need to kill all the clones or save all the monsters here… He just needed to keep this delicate balance between the two sides for as long as he could.
The moment the monsters would feel they could take down the Nightmare's clones would be the moment this fragile truce between him and them would end.
So, he started to control his knives, holding them a little back in attacking the clones.
"What? I have to follow my friends and so I have to call back the knives a bit closer," and when he retracted his knives for a few tens of metres, leading to the fall of more monsters, he said this with a shrug as monsters around turned and glared fiercely at him.
*Roar!*
Just after ten minutes from doing so, it seemed the real Nightmare monster got a wind of what William intended to do.
And with this single mighty roar, one that was much different than all the roars coming from monsters around, William knew a new thing was coming his way.
"Let's see what you got for me, old bastard!" William and Sith's team were this close from the safe path. They crossed four hundred metres at last, and only three hundred were left and they would arrive at that path.
William knew in any other situation, crossing three hundred metres wouldn't take a few seconds from any of them. But right now, it was a fight of life and death, with each step taken on the cost of spending lots of power and effort, even suffering lots of wounds as well.
Crossing these metres looked more impossible than crossing a sea of fire or a series of mountains!
"No matter what, make sure to push through and open a path towards that damn safe path!" William shouted on the top of his lungs, while clenching the hilt of his sword, prepared for the worst.
*Bang!*
And just when he shouted like this, a loud bang came from the front. William narrowed his eyes, as a bigger version of any Nightmare monster clones he met before appeared from the distance.
It looked like an unstoppable wrecking ball, like an avalanche, clearing and sweeping anything and everything standing in its path without any challenge at all.
It was picking up speed, crushing anything in its path. Be it trees, rocks, monsters, or even the ground itself… Nothing stopped or even delayed this damn beast.
"Hurry up!" William urgently shouted, while calling his knives at once. "Clashing against such a dude? F*ck! Hell no! I rather risk everything by running fast, crossing the remaining few hundred metres before it'll catch up with me." William cursed in his mind, while waiting for his knives to arrive by his side.
This beast… Nothing could stop it at this moment.
*Roar!*
"Shut the hell up! It's better for all of you to run just like me!"
