"Dammit! Are we going to die?" another one said in distress. And Berry couldn't help but move.
She stood in front of William and without repeating what Ibra did, she kept waving her arms around. She pointed towards the direction the hellish enemy armies were coming from, and then crossed her arms in a wrong sign. Then she pointed in the totally opposite direction and raised a thumb in the face of that fox.
Everyone looked at her like she lost it or something. "Come back! It's dangerous to be near him right now!" Lang was the first to shout in distress, getting worried over his clan's princess.
But what none expected was for what she decided to do on the spot, out of an impulse to help and save everyone, really did work!
William was in his weird test world when he saw a green shadow draw near him. The next moment, that shadow placed his hand over him, and there William managed to see a glimpse of his face.
"Ibra?!!!" William muttered in deep shock before watching Ibra's body fly in the air and go away from him in a long arc.
Seeing this took William by surprise. All this time he thought these shadows were the act of whatever force was behind his test. And right now, he got slammed with the real truth.
"Don't tell me… All these shadows… All of these enemies… These green shadows… This… All of this is real!!!" William couldn't help but jump towards the crazy conclusion that he thought about before.
And when he was in the middle of all this, he watched another green shadow moving closer from him. But this time, it didn't try to touch him or something. Instead, he saw all the signs Berry made clearly, and got the message behind them.
He moved his head around. The direction she pointed towards as a dangerous place was the place where his paths were heading towards. He knew if he retreated now, he'd lose everything, he'd not even be able to get out of here.
As everyone out there was trying to urge Berry to retreat, the fox suddenly moved one tail, the free one, and pointed towards one direction.
Then that tail made the motion to urge them to go that way. Then it pointed towards himself and then towards the dangerous path.
Everyone got petrified right on the spot. They tried to communicate with William all this time, shouting out loud on the top of their lungs, and failed to get a single response from him.
And right now, he just showed the first human sign since all this started. On top of that, he showed such a response towards the insane thing Berry just did. They looked at Berry, then to William, then back to Berry again.
"Sigh! It seems you two have something deep running, cough! Cough!" Ibra came while fighting his way back towards here, coughing out blood as he got severely wounded from the fall he suffered, "don't worry, I'm fine. And so is he!"
"What do you mean?!" as if the shock of what Berry just did wasn't enough, everyone turned towards him and waited for him to explain.
"I saw him… I can't really describe it, but I saw him standing in the middle of a grand world, filled with dark shadows, and they were trying to get a bite off him. They looked… They looked as if they were the shadows of everyone here. Call me crazy, but he is aware about everything happening right now, or at least part of it."
"This…"
"Then that means…"
"Will we run away then?"
Everyone looked at Ibra as if they were looking at a real vice leader. And feeling this made the latter sigh.
"We can't!" but the one to speak and solve this dilemma was none other than Sara. She felt weird frustration from what just happened between Berry and William. For a reason, she didn't like it, and for another reason, she hoped that she was the one who got William's attention, not Berry, and be the one to have such a deep connection with him, not Berry.
"Your point is?" Peter asked, while killing a few monsters who tried to attack him just now.
"We won't survive if we do that!" Sara sighed, trying to push all the envious thoughts away from her mind, "we aren't in top form, or even close from it. And in case we were, we wouldn't even survive such a huge number of enemies surrounding us, blocking that path ahead."
Her words landed, and with the echoing explosions that fiercely kept coming from everywhere around thanks to William's brutal attacks, they realised what she said was true.
It felt like someone threw a bucket of cold water over their heads. And without any of them saying anything, they all moved towards William, before following him towards the direction of the scary number of enemies.
"Let's pray we'll survive till the end," Ibra muttered while moving with everyone after William. And like this, the entire team followed their mighty leader, hoping for a miracle to happen and they'd all get saved in the end.
And without knowing it, the miracle came, not just from one direction, but from two!
The first and closest source of this miracle came from the scattered dark gold spirit masters gathered here by Panther. Those who sat at the high throne of spirit master power in this world had insane coverage using their spirit sense.
Long before the grand hostile army had arrived here, they already noticed it. And without wasting a single moment, they arranged themselves, gathered lots of other dark gold spirit masters who came from the fort, and made a terrifying force of close to five hundred dark gold spirit masters plus tens of thousands of gold grade masters.
This was by far the strongest force that could be assembled in such a hurry. It wasn't even ten percent of the total fort's overall strength.
