William was now ready to act all serious. He took out a bottle of elixir, emptied it inside his mouth, before activating his spirit form.
The black fox appeared. Not only that, but he also took out lots of gears that were controlled by his spirit power. He wore these dark gold grade pieces, surrounding his fox body with a shining black and red armour.
He looked quite scary, even his three tails got covered in thick scales that overlapped over each other. He looked quite ferocious, and this was the strongest form of his fox spirit body.
He made up these armour pieces with the help of the artisans of his guild. As he set a high standard for these gear pieces, he had to spend lots of fortune to gather lots of rare and precious materials from all over the continent.
Yet it was really worth it. In addition to giving him a strong defensive ability, one that was higher than what his necklace would do, without the need to spend even one third of the spirit power his necklace would, they also added to his speed and strength.
In this form, William was able to fight mid-tier dark gold grade foes and crush them like they were melons. As for the high tier ones, he never got the chance to try this scary form out with anyone before.
As he took his gears out, he also took all of his flying weapons and the strongest three weapons out as well. Then he turned around, controlled Charley, and started to advance.
He didn't retreat, he simply advanced forward. William flashed forward, crossed hundreds of metres, leaving behind a trail of shocking explosions that took lots of monsters by surprise.
Then he jumped high in the air, rotated with his giant body and fell down like a grand meteor. The moment his body landed, it landed on his three tails, releasing a shocking wave around, covered up with a thick bellow of black dust.
The name of his team might be thanks to the legendary grade they all aspired to reach, but it came mainly when William invented such a move at first. It wasn't actually a technique, but as Lang said, a way to impress others and show off.
Such a hit depended just on a single dash, but it used the jump and heavy weight effects, plus the weapons the three tails held.
It wasn't a surprise for a deep hole to appear on the ground. William didn't stop there and jumped a couple of times like this.
In his eyes, it was the same when Ibra waved his glaive a couple of times in the air before fighting. To William, he'd roll his fox body in the air and fall like a cannonball or something.
And then he started his real attack.
He started first by releasing Charley over the monsters around. He used their distraction with Charley and started stacking his technique over his sword. The moment he stacked fifty attacks, he'd release them over the densest pack of leopards.
Then Charley would change tactic, attacking those who didn't fall under such attack, and they were quite the number. As for William, he'd start climbing the hole fast, stacking new attacks on his tail, before finally releasing them again.
He didn't retreat, only kept moving forward until he was met with monsters that he couldn't bypass. "They brought not only leopards, but also the Scaled Turtles… This is going to be a bit problematic then…"
He got stopped when he was met with truck sized turtles. Their shells weren't just smooth, but covered with scales that negated any attack falling on them.
They were like heavy armoured tanks, with the sole weakness lying at their bellies. Yet their legs were thick and short, leaving almost little space from the ground.
To take these monsters down, one had to use earth-based masters and techniques, dig a tunnel or a hole underneath their bellies, before wind-based masters would release techniques to carry lots of weapons and attacks there.
The weakest effect would be for these turtles to get wounded. If the wind-based masters used enough spirit power, then these monsters would flip on their backs, ending up being sitting ducks for slaughter.
William knew he couldn't do anything against these turtles. He was already having lots of trouble dealing with the leopards. Even with Charley on his side, he knew it'd take lots of time and tons of effort to take a few of these turtles down.
He wasn't in much danger thanks to his thick armour. It proved worthy to spend all this wealth to forge them.
From the look of it, the turtles were in tens of thousands. And that was just what he saw in this zone. If they were at other places, then their number would be in hundreds of thousands. That was a very scary force to fight against.
"It's going to be bad," William knew the only hope they got now was his toxin. But the berserk toxin needed a great amount to affect the much smaller leopards. So, when dealing with turtles, it was expected for such an effect to take longer to appear and would last shorter.
William didn't continue his marching forward. He just did that to see how scary the true monster tide was, and how far it was before it'd arrive in the city. "Make preparations, the monster tide will hit us in less than six hours," William made a rough estimate about the time of the monster tide's arrival. Then he sent such intel back to Lara and his vices.
He didn't hurry to return back, took his time to kill as many monsters as he could. He toyed with these monsters using Charley and the full powered version of his fox spirit. He didn't forget to collect the materials and cores in the meantime.
At some point, he lost his sense of time or location, and didn't jolt awake until he arrived at the city doorsteps. The thing that jolted him awake wasn't the city walls, but the large number of techniques released from the walls towards the monsters around.
"Damn! I missed the beginning of the battle!"
