William heard many angry roars coming from the monsters around. It seemed as if they felt betrayed by his sudden retreat. Yet he didn't care about these roars, turned around the moment his knives came by his side, and started running towards the direction of Sith's team.
*Roar!*
And as if all the monsters around got on a tacit understanding with this single roar, they all ditched stopping that scary monster, throwing everything towards William and Sith's team.
"I know you are not that trustworthy, damn dumb monsters!" William expected such a thing eventually, and so he wasn't surprised at all.
Instead, he dashed forward for fifty metres, before starting to use a few zigzag jumps to evade the incoming attacks.
At this point, trying to pause for even a second to kill or hit any monster was a waste, total waste. William decided to leave all these monsters for the incoming beast, and that was enough punishment for them in his eyes.
But that also came at a price. "Damn! That hurt!" he got attacked and hit frequently, feeling like he was jumping and passing his way through sand, not through monsters.
If they couldn't stop him using their roars and attacks, they used their giant bodies, stuck together, leaving behind narrow spaces for him to pass through.
"Fine! You asked for this!" William didn't care about anything at this moment. He controlled all his knives, letting them rotate the same way as before, forming the deadly wheel on top of his head.
Then he controlled it to land closer to the ground before rising up again, eating and hacking away any monster they touched without showing any mercy.
Doing this would increase the spirit power consumption rate of his, but he had no other choice but to do that.
In return for this, he took out two silver cores at the same time, let them get covered by his running blood from different wounds, before starting to absorb them.
If absorbing one core wasn't enough to make up for his madly increasing spirit power consumption, then absorbing two would indeed be sufficient.
William didn't just use his knives, but also kept pushing his body to the limit. He repeatedly used his lightning technique without a single moment of pause, even passing through the narrow and impossible to get through gaps using brute force and his accumulated pushing force.
Everything in his eyes now turned into flashes of giant monster bodies. From time to time he'd see the shining blades of his knives, hacking through the bodies of these monsters, following him through his dashes, and securing his life all the time.
He didn't get the time or the luxury to take out his sword and use it, no time even to collect a single core from the ground.
His two hands just kept replacing one silver core after another, absorbing lots of them in his fervent run.
"Dammit! Dammit! That damn beast is still coming fast! What the heck are these useless monsters doing?!"
William knew he was getting closer to the escape path as more monsters became densely packed. It looked as if they formed another level of land out of their huge bodies.
But he still heard the continuous enraged roars of that beast drawing closer to him from behind.
"I swear to god I won't go and save anyone if you didn't reach that escape path before me!" and as William crushed his path through the monsters using pure might, he noticed a shadow of someone that he just crossed.
And that made him shout loudly, releasing all the pressure and anxiety he was feeling deep down his spirit.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Just after he said these words, he heard very loud and scary sounds of explosions, ranging and trembling the ground from close by.
"Just a bit more… Please fate, God, heavens, or anything that anyone holds dear to their spirits… Please let me arrive first, don't let that damn beast touch me…"
William kept praying inside, as the sounds of these explosions became like a crescendo in his ears, adding a brutal touch to this crazy battle.
He didn't need to stop or look around to know what caused these explosions. It meant monsters that were stopping and chasing Sith's team got at last into the landmine. And that also meant that part of Sith's team arrived at the safe path at last.
*Thud!*
"Phew! I… I… I did it!"
And just in the middle of his fervent run, he felt like he pierced through a bubble or something, ending up in the middle of thin air.
All the pressure, all the resistance he kept feeling faded away all of sudden. He ended up feeling like a bird that got out from a frozen lake that it got itself into by mistake, and finally reached the free sky.
His body lost control and fell to the ground in a muffled thud. But William didn't even bother about that, not even about his funny landing on his face and chest.
All he cared about right now was that he finally broke through monsters and ended up inside that safe path.
"Welcome on board," As he took a few of his racing breaths, rolled his body to lay on his back, Sith's voice came with the latter's face appearing just filling the entire dark night sky and world for William.
"Are everyone in?" William wiped the thick layer of sweat on his forehead while standing erect in shaky legs and trembling body. He didn't need to hear Sith's answer. Only five more members of his team were standing by Sith's side.
And when William turned back to see the bloody battle, he spotted two remaining members almost this close from getting drawn in the thick waves of monsters around.
As for the last missing two, there was no single shadow of them anywhere.
"Damn! How can we lose four just like this!" One of Sith's remaining team members said, while his last words got choked in his throat, seemingly on the verge of crying on their big loss.
