"I need to time it right," William checked the current status of the ongoing harsh battle underground, besides the current status of the eggs.
The eggs kept shining at a faster rate with each passing minute. Right now, the marks and engravings over its surface were shining once per ten seconds, instead of shining once per couple minutes when they first appeared.
"Like this… They will hatch in less than an hour. Will they release fully mature monsters? That doesn't make any sense…" William kept thinking about the monsters and eggs, while releasing more attacks towards the spirit power fountain.
The fountain turned spirit power directly towards the outer border. The blue ores were gone, so there was nothing to absorb the insane amount of power released there.
William wanted to see if he could affect the newly born monsters negatively. If things went like he envisioned them, then the torrents of spirit power landing over these monsters would be enough to deeply hurt them.
This wasn't enough to claim their lives, but at least would leave behind lots of crippled monsters.
He didn't need to say anything to Zin and others. He knew they were closely monitoring the situation. The moment they'd spot any moment of weakness, they'd jump instantly to exploit it.
[What shall we do now?] as he was totally absorbed in thinking about all this, Ro's voice rang in his ears, [Will we continue killing these Wrathers or what?]
"We'll continue doing this until the flying monsters are this close from getting exterminated," William paused before adding, "I want you to clear a spot of land, one that shows no cracks or holes. Keep the Wrathers away from it all the time."
[For what? Tsk! Don't tell me more scary things are going to happen!] Ibra scoffed, complained when William knew how excited he truly was.
"Just keep fighting and waving your big glaive around."
[You should lend us these two, they are really something!] Berry demanded, but William couldn't give her his approval.
"Just keep fighting, we are soon going to get rid of all of them in one full sweep," William knew the upcoming grand landslide was going to be brutal. So these Wrathers were going to get buried under heavy rocks.
Even if they weren't alive, they would end up crushed in the end. So after this, almost all of the deadly traps here would be cleared.
Be it the vapour, the lining toxin, the Wrathers, and even the newly arrived flying monsters; all would be dealt with in the next hours.
The only thing that kept him uneasy was these black clouds hovering fixedly in the sky. They looked like bad news, and William didn't have any clue about how to deal with them, or what they were supposed to do.
Yet he didn't know this, help was already on the way towards here! And by meeting them, a new world would open in front of William's eyes.
William focused on the task on hand. And soon enough, he spotted the hatching of the eggs at the outer zone.
"Winged Green Crocs? At least they are one of the weakest monsters out there," when he spotted the baby monsters coming out from the eggs, William heaved a triple sigh of relief.
These monsters looked small, around one metre in length only. Even if they appeared in huge numbers, they were still small and weak. That meant William could help in weakening them further, or even get lucky to kill a few of them.
That also meant they wouldn't be able to put up a good fight against Zin and others. Like this, the high-end master force would be able to fly around, leading them in circles, without having lots of danger.
On top of that, even if by some means they grew stronger, or they managed to keep most of their numbers intact, then the end battle wouldn't be a threat to anyone out there.
As William saw them hatching, he didn't act stingy and released his attacks in torrents. The attacks got transformed into brutal waves of spirit power that landed over these weaklings.
The moment they got hit, many screeched and fell on the ground. Seeing this made William have another idea, the same one that popped in the minds of Zin and others.
They were already roaming around the egg zone. The moment they saw how weak these monsters looked; they grew greedy to get them early on. But then they got to wait as the overall number of these monsters was just scary. And when they were about to drop such an idea, they saw a weird phenomenon happening in front of their eyes.
The monsters flew in the air for tens of metres, before they suddenly fell to the ground. It felt like they hit some sort of a hidden ceiling or something, and they fell hard even to hurt themselves.
On top of that, they kept lying on the ground for a minute or so. Seeing this, seeing such weird phenomena happening all over the place made everyone evilly grin.
"I bet an arm it's the doing of that youth, hahahaha!" Zin didn't hesitate for a second, like everyone else, and moved fast to claim the lives of those monsters pinned to the ground. In their eyes, they were like stock waiting for slaughter.
As William saw how effective this was, he continued releasing his attacks towards the winged monsters.
The two sides were far apart yet were working together like they got some sort of tacit understanding or something. They were too absorbed in such a once in lifetime opportunity, William could see the overall development of these monsters.
As he expected, they got some sort of means to grow stronger. And weirdly enough, the more of them fell down, the faster they grew stronger.
"Warn Zin out! The monsters are growing bigger and stronger," after a couple of hours or so, William couldn't help but take a Bullet out and shouted at once.
