"It seems that Fox Transformer got his hands over great secrets and learnt about the big plans regarding the fall of this world. This explains why these Transformers are after his legacy. But that doesn't explain how he learnt about my presence and secrets…"
William felt like he got answers to his questions but ended up with nothing in the end. And such a feeling and situation was quite frustrating to him.
"Time to vent all this," William couldn't tolerate all this and stood up, then started to use his knives to detonate more of the traps here.
He could keep doing this if he wanted, all day long if he desired. But he controlled himself, to give more time to Thomas and people outside.
Sounds of explosions kept ranging widely from time to time. Each single explosion that happened brought forth a storm of cheers and celebration from everyone. And that never grew old for the audience out there.
Remy played a little trick, spreading out that William got badly hurt and couldn't keep his performance like before. That helped in explaining why his efficiency dropped, and also added more bait for more to bet over his loss.
More people kept flooding here as news spread far and wide. Even dark spirit masters found in such activity a chance to win more crystals, sent their people to bet over William's loss.
William kept taking breaks every now and then, sitting on the ground, examining the newly drawn scrolls that Thomas did.
At first, things didn't look any different than before. It wasn't until they finally reached the level of the first building that Thomas' drawings started to change.
"Master, there is something weird in that building," Thomas paused in his actions, pointing towards the first building, "I can see lots of stars and threads inside that building, like some sort of net or structure of lights. It's as if that building is made out entirely of light."
"At the building? Or underneath it?" William was examining all the papers Thomas drew when the latter came and interrupted him.
"It's in the building," Thomas scratched his head, as he was a bit lost about how to describe what he saw, "the building seemed to be formed entirely out of light dots and threads, not bricks and ores."
"Hmm… Then draw it! What are you waiting for?"
"It's just… With all these lights all over that building, I can't draw everything…" Thomas paused, looking again at the direction of the building before adding, "I need to approach and circle it so I can perfectly draw everything."
"I see…" They were at least two kilometres away from that building. And that made it hard and confusing for Thomas to draw anything.
In Thomas' eyes, that building was shining brightly with dots and lines, all overlapping with each other. And that made it hard for him to draw that weird structure right, at least not from his current spot.
"Step back then," William knew it was time for him to clear all the traps from here till the building, "keep drawing the areas around that building, and leave it for later."
"Ok," Thomas retreated, but didn't hurriedly start drawing. Previously, he kept focusing on drawing, and missed what William was doing all this time.
And now he finally got a chance to see it clearly. And as he didn't cancel his technique, he was able to see what William was doing crystal clear.
"Hmm… He is using his twenty knives, hitting the traps at specific locations each time…" After watching for half an hour, Thomas started noticing what William was doing, "but… How come he knew where to hit, and what to hit?"
In Thomas' eyes, William grew more mysterious. He was the one who could see this world, the one who drew all the scrolls. And yet he never got a clue, not even a single guess about what he should do to take down these traps.
He tried before to closely examine the little shining stars, aiming to understand their structure, see through them and spot any pattern or point of weakness.
Yet after trying for so long, he failed! He never saw anything beyond just balls of light, connected to each other by threads of lights. These balls were perfect, shining without showing any inner structure or anything.
But his master simply figured out what to do. And as shocking as it might seem, William's method was quite correct and effective.
In Thomas' special field of vision, he could clearly see all the traps hit by William explode, releasing bright bellows of light, before they all died down and turned into nothing.
It was as if William was hitting them at the right places, ending up for the energy stored in these traps to get depleted and vanish from this world.
And that wasn't all! When he looked closer for the next hour, he was sure that the traps hidden deep down the ground were also affected by what William was doing.
It wasn't just the aftermath of the traps exploding at the surface affecting the ones lying underneath as Thomas thought. When he closely watched, he noticed that the moment William's knives hit their targets, the deep away traps also got triggered and exploded at the same time.
That meant one thing… William didn't just guess the right way to deactivate all the traps at the surface, but he also found the way to affect the ones buried deep underground as well.
"Brilliant!"
"Stop standing there doing nothing! Start working!"
Thomas couldn't help but mutter after two hours of watching. And when he did say that he got a shout from William, urging him to continue his work.
William was already attentive to what this dude was doing. And he didn't mind exposing a little to Thomas. So far, this youth proved he was someone capable and dependable. And it was time for William to see if he was trustworthy or not.
