The moment he did so, the weapon in front of him that looked dead and dull got its eyes ignited with a dangerous silver flash of light. The moment it got activated, it roared in a way that made William's fox roar pale in comparison.
The leopards around froze in their places stiff, looking hesitant towards the new behemoth that appeared here. William made out something like a bull, with horns, six legs, and a very thick tail that was like a group of spears stacked together.
The weapon William made was a human made form of monster, one that would follow the wills of the master to the letter, one that was quite scary and formidable.
It had a grand physique, immense strength, formidable defence, and on top of that it could control the same spirit elements and use the same techniques of the master.
it got three pairs of thick legs, looking like pillars or something. it got three tails that looking like whips made out of steel, not flesh.
William looked at his creation in pride, before turning his eyes around. "It's time to show you how strong the spirit masters are," William just thought, and the bull flashed and moved towards the nearest group of monsters like a falling meteor.
The monster didn't have any weapon to use, but it didn't need any. Its body was the mightiest weapon William could think of.
The moment it flashed, and even with its giant body, it moved at the same speed as William, ending up landing in the middle of thousands of leopards, taking them all down.
William tried to use his explosive arrows many times, without succeeding in taking any monster down from the first hit. Yet with his new weapon being in play, the monsters kept falling like they were made out of glass or something.
That was expected. After all, the entire weapon's body was made out of materials coming from the outer world. William knew if his weapon got an endless supply of spirit power, it could massacre the entire monster tide solo without any help.
Yet this was the fatal weakness of this monster weapon. It could get spirit power either from William or using elixirs by placing them inside its body. William's spirit power wasn't enough to run this weapon for more than ten minutes straight. As for elixirs, the monster would deplete a bottle once per half an hour.
This meant William had to be close to this weapon, and he had to ready himself for the great expenditure of elixirs during this war.
That was why William planned to use this weapon when the war would arrive at the city gates. There he got to stick around and defend the city itself, wouldn't be too far from his weapon. Not to mention the limited time he'd be able to run this weapon without feeling any pressure or big loss would be enough to shift the tide of the entire war.
Yet he got forced to use this weapon early on, and that meant his estimated loss of elixirs would be tenfold at least by the end of this war.
"As I'm spending too much on this war, it's time to get the most out of it," William knew this might be a big blow to his elixir reserves. And so, he shifted his eyes towards something else, towards the monsters here.
These monsters came from the outer world. Even if they got their grade forcibly lowered by the limitations of the tiny world, even if their strength and might got lowered as well, their cores would be all dark gold grade, all at the highest stages of this grade.
Aside from cores, these monster materials were another treasure trove. William knew he'd gain tons of materials that belonged all to the higher realm, looking like he was getting materials from the spatial cracks in the Lost City.
As he decided to collect everything, he let his monster weapon fight around, while he kept collecting his loot. At the same time, he released torrents of berserk and explosive arrows from time to time, to relieve the pressure over any point.
Like this, the entire situation changed. William kept emptying elixirs into special places at the body of his bull monster, letting it kill tons of monsters while he tagged along and claimed the loot.
Starting from the appearance of this human made monster and the entire battle tide shifted towards William's favour. The bull monster wasn't just using his elements and techniques, but also it released lots of deadly spears out of his body from time to time.
It could break apart into tons of spears, killing and hacking any monster in hundreds of metres radius, before recomposing itself again. William stood behind, watching all this with a wide grin over his face.
"This is how I should fight from now on, hahahaha!" He was happy about such a massacre happening in front of his eyes. And yet the pain of throwing out lots of elixirs every half an hour was enough to make him feel bitter inside.
"Hopefully this war won't last for more than one day," he prayed inside, while feeling this war might get stretched out for days.
He tried to use potions, but his monster didn't move an inch. "I have to use elixirs only… Extravagant indeed," he shook his head before returning to add elixirs to his monster weapon.
For hours, he kept attacking and fighting like this. He let his monster weapon be the sharpest sword of his, while helping him from behind using his arrows. He kept collecting materials, dissecting monsters and even their teeth. He didn't leave behind a single item that could be used even in the most trivial processes. At the same time, his stock of cores kept increasing fast, which was the most delightful thing about all this.
For long hours he kept fighting and collecting his loot. During which, he managed to break deeply inside the ranks of the monster army. Right now, it was really crazy, with lots of monsters around it was impossible for him to control the situation.
