William and his team were fighting these Wrathers in the last few hours as if they were really fighting a monster tide.
"No time to waste," William ignored Ibra's comment, and looked towards everyone. His vices brought a total of one hundred members of the guild with them, the same as Lara.
That meant they got two hundred masters here, not even close to filling the gaps in these Wrathers' sharp teeth.
"Listen up… We'll do it this way…" William already got his grenades exhausted. But that wasn't an issue anymore. He got Lara and she got enough extra grenades to use in the upcoming battle.
Yet he didn't plan everything over these grenades only. He taught them simple arrays that could suck spirit power from the world around and turn it into a sea of fire. The only drawback for such arrays were their high spirit power consumption rate, but that wasn't an issue with such a tycoon like Lara being here.
"So, we are going to surround and protect you? Is that it?" Ibra didn't like such a way of fighting, the same as the two sisters, Lina and Tina.
"I want to go out and play!" Lina kept her silence like she used to, but her younger sister didn't. She was still acting a bit childish, growing big and strong but still acting like a little kid.
"Let's send a small team to hunt those Wrathers then," Lara suggested, "they can be armed with few grenades, and can have the two deadly weapons of yours on their side."
"This…" William got a bit hesitant, "you do know these aren't living monsters, but spiritless creations. Only elements that can purify their cores can truly get rid of them…"
"I want to play!" Tina was still acting stubborn, "and I can play them with my fire!"
"I got the wind element as well," Ibra shrugged, "and with Berry on our side, who can stop us?"
"That's indeed true," William turned to Berry, and the latter agreed to join this little team.
"I'll join too," Lang wouldn't let Berry go out there alone and sit here doing nothing but enjoy safety. Even if Berry grew stronger, even if they were far from the clan, Lang grew used to protecting the clan head and prominent figures since he was very young.
"Fine," William had to stop this before it'd turn into a competition in joining this team, "only twenty members can be sent out there, and they'll be led by Ibra. All must have fire and wind elements, better to be more fire than wind, got it?"
"Yes! I'm going to play, hahahaha!" Tina laughed, as if she scored a big victory or something.
"As for others, let's start preparing for the upcoming hard battle," William also shared the same arrays with the masters in the leader team. But they didn't actually need these. They got the weakest member there at the early dark gold grade.
Once he arranged everything, he started to work. His team surrounded an area of five kilometres in radius, enough to let him make the arrays he wanted.
The first thing he did was to dig the ground using violent explosions. He did it just outside the area he marked for his team to protect. And once he arrived at the deep vapour layer, he started expanding the hole.
The end result was a hole that spanned for another five kilometres in radius. The notable thing here was that not a single Wrather dared to come near this hole, as if they feared what lay deep within.
"Are we going to use this as a defensive layer?" Sara remained behind and couldn't help but ask when she noticed such a thing everyone else noticed.
"It has a different purpose," William motioned his head before adding, "we are ten kilometres away from it, just enough."
"Enough for what?" Peter asked, as he also remained behind.
"You'll see," William chuckled, and that made every one of his vices here roll their eyes. Yet they felt more satisfaction by his attitude. As long as he kept doing this, it meant he was preparing something huge.
The hole did indeed help in reducing the number and pressure of Wrathers over them from that side. If not for having more holes would bring bad results and backfire at them, William would have surrounded this area with more holes.
Yet he also spread the knowledge to the leaders' team, just in case.
Things went on smoothly like this for long hours. William kept laying down an array after another, forming in the end two grand formations and few scattered arrays.
No one ever knew what he was doing, but it was clear he knew his stuff, so no one asked. They didn't ask as they knew the answer they'd get from him: You'll get to see by yourselves later on!
William worked on the formations and arrays, while the masters around him were having a real bloody battle.
The number of Wrathers made it feel they were endless or something. Even when they used the fire arrays William taught them, they felt real pressure out there.
The main pressure came from the scary and intense spirit power consumption rate. It was simply monstrous enough for every master to consume a potion once per few minutes.
Even Lara felt pressure while taking out tons of these potions. She considered using elixirs, just to stop when she realised she didn't have enough to sustain them for a long time like potions.
Besides it was much easier to make potions, unlike elixirs which would take lots of time and would cost a lot.
But they managed to stop the Wrathers from breaking through their line of defence. Part of this was thanks to the roaming small team led by Ibra. The least word to describe what they were doing out there was crazy!
They were fighting like maniacs, releasing torrents of fire and wind to augment it. At some point, they got totally surrounded, for Ibra to step in and do a marvellous solo show, killing lots of these Wrathers, opening a path for others out.
