The Mutant in front of William didn't exhaust his monstrous spirit. The moment William moved; he activated his spirit. And then a solid form appeared in front of William.
It was a lizard with a few long spikes that appeared from its joints. It wasn't as grand as William's fox, but it was big in the eyes of anyone else. It spanned to cover five metres long, and two metres in height.
"The Spiky Brown Lizard… What a nice monster you were," William recognised Mutant's monstrous spirit at the spot, "but to stop a fox with a lizard like you isn't enough… Roar!"
William channelled his light spirit element, releasing a deadly explosive blast towards that lizard.
The Spiky Brown Lizard was a fierce monster in the forest. It was considered a king in any area it lived in. With rock, darkness, and wind elements, it reigned over many other monsters who couldn't face him.
But to William, this was just a walk in the park. William used his light element from the start, releasing a deadly attack towards that foe, followed by charging up his technique as usual.
He didn't just attack solo, and let Charley also complete his actions by using his sealing supporting technique. In addition to that, William controlled his one hundred flying weapons, letting them hover around that target, waiting for a window to take him down.
The Mutant was indeed acting tough, but he never expected a silver grade master to pose a threat to him. Yet when he saw how William attacked, he felt unexplained fear.
He started to use everything he got to stop all the incoming attacks. Even if he was weak, he was a dark gold grade Mutant. Most of William's attacks got negated and stopped, and that foe was this close from stopping him.
But when the Mutant felt great, William threw a grenade in the middle of all these torrents of attacks. The grenade exploded, and that was the crack that brought everything down.
The next attack came from the one hundred flying weapons, then William's stacked attack landed and exploded loudly. The Mutant got bombarded by one attack after another, ending up thrown in the air and falling on the edge of the peak.
"You…"
"Just die already," William could see many flashes heading towards him. So he didn't hesitate and controlled Charley to use a single attack, and that was all it took to kill that Mutant.
"Throw me his ring!" William knew how scary Mutants were, and their wealth was all stored in the safest place in the world in their eyes, in a ring they wore.
Charley tossed the ring to his maker, before the two turned toward Rick. "That bastard…" During this intense and fast clash, Rick took the chance and slipped by William's clutches. He was now standing a few peaks away and was running like he got nothing to cry about.
"Make sure to bring me his head," William ordered Ibra, "no mistakes are allowed this time, got it?"
[Tsk! Just one slightly wrong move and you already call it a mistake!]
"Just go!" William roared, and Ibra flashed from his place and started chasing Rick. as he saw this, William turned his full attention towards the incoming enemies.
And without even hesitating about it, he recharged Charley's stock of elixirs, turned around, and started running in the opposite direction.
"Make sure to make it in time!" William shouted towards Zin, and the latter didn't respond except by accelerating his moves.
Zin already saw how William took one enemy down, one who was two grades above him, one who was considered a strong powerhouse.
Zin saw William fighting monsters before, and even if he got impressed by that, it wasn't like this time. Fighting monsters wasn't like fighting masters. Monsters got their strongest fort in numbers, while masters at the dark gold grade pinnacle were a single man army.
Zin didn't know that these Mutants were now weakened and weren't in their perfect shape or even close to it. So, he just mistook things happening and decided to do everything in his power to save William.
Yet the latter was already surrounded from the start. He was in the heart of the grand formation, and all the Mutants were standing at various peaks around, totally surrounding him.
William moved towards a place he saw perfect for his escape. Yet when he just dashed for a minute or so, he abruptly stopped.
"Dammit! They are indeed fast," he saw the gap he aimed for was already covered up by two Mutants. Not only that, but the entire forty-nine Mutants were closing the net over him.
He had little room to manoeuvre right now. And without even thinking about it, he took many grenades and threw them away using his tail like they were mere rocks.
*Rumble!* *Rumble!* *Rumble!*
A fierce wave of explosions occurred, one that was enough to shake the entire place again. "Damn! Watch out where you are throwing these, or else you'll kill an old man like me!" Zin's shout came next when he got this close from being hit with one grenade.
William tried to control his aim, but he failed to do so for all grenades. He was already exhausted, running for his life, and he focused the grenades over a certain spot.
"Got you! Hahahaha!" William threw around fifty grenades at one area, then dashed twice towards it. Anyone watching would mistake his intentions, and even Zin thought he was going to make a run towards that spot.
Yet when everyone shifted their attention towards that spot, trying to fortify it and help the deeply injured Mutants there, William and Charley suddenly shifted their direction, turning around and running towards the totally opposite spot.
The Mutants already moved fast to intercept his feign move, ending up messing their tight formation around him. William didn't hesitate and headed towards the widest gap there, jumping over a peak after another, ending up finally getting away from such tight encirclement with a hairbreadth.
