Weird grey colour appeared on his three tails, surrounding them layer upon layer with each dash. It wasn't like the charge he used to do with his light element, and that was thanks to him using a different element. It was a new element, one that wasn't lesser in grade and quality with light, lightning, and darkness elements of his.
"Those at the rear, bring him down!" that despicable dark spirit master wasn't satisfied in cornering William like this, shouted at the remaining dark masters behind to join them.
They already trained for a long time, trained on how to bring William down. The prize over William's head was astronomical, and that greed was the main reason behind such hatred and enmity this fellow showed.
The next second, long thorns and darts kept thrown at William, limiting more of his ability to dash and charge his technique. Weapons started to fly in the air, lots of techniques got activated, but all missed William thanks to his insane flashing speed.
William wasn't ready yet to counter and defend against all these attacks. He had to first deal with those turtles, bring them down, or at least break a hole in their tight formation so he could breathe.
These turtles weren't just used in defence, but also in attack. Yet they lacked the deadly strength known for the dark masters, only having the poison factor to use in their attacks. That didn't mean anyone could underestimate them. They could poison their enemy, numb his senses and slow down his reactions. If William got hit with that poison, then he'd start moving slower until he'd be unable to either attack or defend.
Alone, the turtles wouldn't be able to bring him down. But using the other dark masters on the rear, they could indeed kill him. That on the premise they could really entrap and seal his flashy movements, before attacking him with their poisonous claws.
"Time to show you the same fear your fellow dead comrades felt in front of me five years ago," William suddenly stopped, looking like he was unable to flash anymore.
He stacked more than fifty times on his tails, a very high number that previously placed lots of pressure on him to control. But after all these years, having these fifty stacked on his tails didn't feel that burdensome at all. If he had time and space, he'd prefer to push himself all the way to his new limits.
"Just drop the act… You have no way to repeat the same…"
*Roar!*
Before that dark leader continued his words, William raised his head and roared. He then tilted his head, moved it around, as if he was breathing out fire at all of the turtles around. He didn't roar using a light element, but the new one. And when he did that, it felt like the world around him got frozen, as if someone hit the pause button at this moment.
The nearby turtle dark masters halted in their tracks, totally getting petrified by this roar. The roar was short, but loud and majestic, leaving behind a continuous echo that kept ranging in the ears of everyone who heard it.
The audience, who were sitting far from the arena, felt a shudder deep down their spirits. The weak ones, those at silver and lower grades, ended up even suffering the same freeze effect of this roar.
As for the higher-grade ones, they were able to withstand that roar, yet they still felt genuine fear from it.
That was what the faraway folks felt. And it was easy to imagine what the nearby ones, the ones surrounding William now, truly experienced.
William used a new element, the Sound spirit element. This one might seem useless, but when used right, it was enough to flip the tide of any battle.
Weirdly enough, the two elements that could be used in his roars were seen as useless by many masters in the world.
The sound element William stacked through his dashes earlier was different from the three oldest spirit elements he used before. The sound element got stacked over his body, not his weapons. And when he roared, he released all the stacked sound attacks, channelled them through his body towards his throat, before releasing this terrifying attack.
The main weak spot of the sound element was distance. Sound could travel fast, but not that fast like light, not crossing long distances without losing most of its might. Attacking enemies at long distance wasn't the true turf of this element actually. But luckily, the enemies here were impatient to seal William's actions, and got too close to him.
Even the ones standing already at the back were moving closer towards him thanks to the last order that their leader issued.
"Release the roar, turn everyone into sitting ducks, sheep waiting for slaughter," William said these words in a calm tone. Yet it was enough to jolt awake all the frozen people in the audience seats. And the next moment, they sucked a cold air of breath when they saw what William's roar did.
William's attack was enough to turn any nearby enemy into a living statue. The dark masters around couldn't move a muscle. Be it turtles or other dark spirits, they all got stupefied and petrified by his attack.
That wasn't all! Sound had a devastating ability within. And like the fire element attack William used against Lawrence, his sound attack also got deep into the enemies' bodies, exploding organs inside.
He selected this element, this new variation of his original technique, thanks to these two effects. Using this element would render the formidable defensive shields powerless in front of it.
They looked fine on the surface, looking silent and calm like sleeping babies. But William knew each and every single one of them was now getting tormented heavily by his sound element. It was enough to take away the lives of those who were too close to him, including the ones at the early stage of the dark gold grade.
