"Nothing is impossible," William simply shrugged, realising that this old man got the wind element mixed together with the space element in a fearsome and admirable technique, "you lived long enough to see lots of weird things in the world, right?"
"..."
Zin couldn't refute William's words. All he could do was to think again about what William said. A formation that was able to rewind time, make a copy of a certain point of it, and bring forth another scary wave of monsters… That was indeed the scariest thing he could think about, especially now.
Even if he and others came at the late stages of this grand war, he knew winning this war was quite hard. The city masters exhausted tons of resources to take down this monster tide and weaken it. Even if they came here with fresh and grand forces, he was sure it was impossible to repeat the same feat again.
Not to mention they'd not get the time to prepare to face the upcoming monster tide. If that formation was completed, then they were doomed.
When he got there, he realised how truly dire their situation was. He now understood why William acted in such a way before, in such a desperate way.
"We need to take down the ones controlling this thing? Let's crush them then!"
"Don't underestimate them," William didn't explain much about Mutants to Zin. After all, their presence in the world was always considered a huge secret that rare few knew about, "they are quite troublesome."
"You said there are fifty of them, and we are three… No, we are four," Zin paused before adding, "I can already see these fifty figures up there. They got some sort of a gem or crystal shining in their forehead. Shall we smash that thing to weaken them or what?"
"I got a better idea," William evilly smirked, "let's increase the pressure over them."
"Increase the pressure? By fighting them?" Zin didn't get what William meant, and the latter didn't find it surprising.
Zin saw these Mutants using his spirit power and didn't recognise them. That meant he knew literally nothing about such scary figures.
"We won't fight them directly but will do something else…" William explained in short words what he had in mind.
"Will that work? This method… Isn't it going to help them instead?!" Zin doubted what William said would work.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," William was already passing through the shackles of clouds. The last thing he saw about clouds was for the wheels to start taking shape and become a bit solid. Each wheel was just twenty metres in radius, and that meant the ones up there couldn't fully activate the scary power of this formation.
And that was another great piece of news to William. It didn't just mean the upcoming disaster wouldn't be that severe as it should be, it also meant these fifty Mutants were struggling to activate just a tiny piece of this formation's strength.
And that meant William's idea could work if Zin cooperated with him.
If Zin wasn't here, then William wouldn't even consider doing it. Even if William found another way to bring him all the way up, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Zin was the missing piece that was essential for this plan to work. "We are here," Zin said the moment they arrived at the mountain peak level, "what shall we do now?"
"It's a formation focused on peaks," William took a few moments to scan the entire area, confirming the words of Ibra, "they used the outer peaks as star heads of this formation, and the inside peaks as the generator of spirit power to run it. Let's do it this way then… You go around, do as I said, and leave me here to deal with any intervention."
"Are you sure?" The two of them stood at a peak that was a few peaks away from the entire formation. But that didn't mean they were close by. The distance between them and that formation was in the thousands of metres at least.
Zin gave William a doubtful glance, and the latter shrugged, "do we have another choice? Let's do it this way, at least we have more hope in surviving this in the end."
"Ok," Zin knew what William said was true. They got little options in the first place. It was expected to suffer a lot in this battle, "where do you want me to land you?"
"Move me to the heart of this damn formation," William knew that once the Mutants got to play their role, they got little time and mind to care about anything else. But that didn't mean that place was safe.
There were still two strong masters inside that formation. And William got Ibra on his side, and also Charley. So, the odds were quite balanced.
If William had to intervene against these Mutants directly, then he'd not even think about doing this or going there. But he had to deal with weakened versions of these Mutants, in addition to two masters.
"Let's do it then," Zin didn't argue with William about this plan anymore. He knew the youth in front of him was risking his life to save the world. Not to mention such a scary plan already got devised by him in the first place.
That meant William already was aware of all the ins and outs, all the risks involved in such a plan. Zin didn't need to personally move, just used his technique to send William towards the location he desired.
Since the two appeared at the bottom of the mountain together, and the two enemies at the very top noticed them, in addition to Ibra.
The latter didn't use William's Message Paper fearing to do more harm than good. Just before any of the three would think of something, William started to rise in the air thanks to Zin's technique.
Their goal was clear, and that made the three have different reactions.
