"But…" Rockos tried to stop his leader from doing something crazy. Yet from the look on Leo's face, everyone in the team knew it was pointless to try and reason with him.
Once he got excited and hyped up about something, he'd not stop at anything and do it. And he got just excited about William and wanted to know him more.
"Don't forget, our mission is to stop what's happening, find the culprit, and bring him back with us," Leo laughed, "to do so, we need to break that little rule, right? It's not a big deal."
"For us? It's a disaster!" Rockos sighed, shook his head in regret for telling too much about William to Leo.
The latter was quite competitive, loved to know strong and promising prodigies all over the world. On many occasions, such introductions and simple meetings ended up with big fights!
At the same time, William was heading towards the dark academy with the other two teams. Nothing new happened, and it seemed like the end battle was waiting for them at the doorsteps of that academy.
The leaders agreed already on the general plan of this assault. They might have the fewer numbers in the equation, but they were confident they'd crush the enemy with their overall might.
[We are getting close and there isn't any sign of anything abnormal] Zin sent to William, [We are going to arrive at the X point in less than one hour. The earth team will start his work, so how about your team?]
William and others already arranged each team's role in the army. Part of the masters, the earth-based ones, would start modifying the entire region around the dark academy and form the grand stage for the upcoming battle.
To make sure they'd not get pushed against the wall, they planned to form a grand sloppy area, one that would end with a long tapering edge towards the bottom, merging the grand stage they were going to form with the grand bottom around.
Like this, and even if they got something unexpected happening, they'd end up without finding themselves standing at a very high edge or something. At the same time, this would add more space for their forces to manoeuvre and change tactics when needed.
William was hopeful about the hidden traps in the academy. The worst things were already discovered, and the most that could happen was for the ground to fall and the sky to crash down on them.
As he got a way to solve the problem of the falling ground, all William had to care about was the black clouds in the sky. And after speaking with everyone for long hours, he got they had no clue about what these clouds might be.
So he decided to wait until the final trap would get triggered, hopefully he'd find some way to solve all this.
What Zin asked for was for the team William promised to take care of the precious cargo. "Don't worry, once you arrive, my team is ready."
And that was what happened. The moment they arrived there; every team got to do their task. The earth-based masters were the busiest for the next ten hours. They spread around the dark academy for around thirty kilometres, raised the ground and added more rocks to build a grand circular stage, one that looked like a colossal disc.
As this happened, the dark masters around the academy seemed to start rallying themselves up.
The two sides were preparing for the last war, and yet not a single sign appeared from the academy. The bubble kept surrounding it, and William recalled the words of the Nightmare monster every time he saw that bubble.
That monster told him that the doors of the academy would be open for him. And that meant there was some sort of a deadly trap inside that academy. But William didn't plan to get near it, at least that was what the initial plan was.
[Let's roll!] Zin was appointed as the general leader of the masters assaulting the dark master forces. The moment the entire grand disc got built, he didn't hesitate to give the order.
And with it, the doors of hell opened.
The masters on both sides ran towards each other. The disparity in numbers was clear to anyone watching this battle from far. And yet the main thing that stole the spotlight were the catapults.
They got arranged in groups, at the edge of this grand rocky structure, all were roaring and releasing tons of attacks towards one direction, the academy.
The attacks came like fire rain towards the academy, hitting fiercely the bubble surrounding it, spreading out fierce explosions and rumbling noises.
Each bolt moved out from the catapults with a long trail of smoke, heading in a big, curved path towards the bubble, hitting it violently before exploding.
From far, all the masters saw that bubble shine with bright red light with each explosion landing over the bubble. Yet it felt like the bubble was able to stand its ground, sustaining all the damage landing on it.
Each bolt landed left behind a small rounded red area that soon expanded outwards, expanding to cover more of the bubble. Soon enough, lots of explosions merged together, giving the impression that this bubble was going down soon.
But that didn't happen! And even with all these attacks, nothing came out from that academy. "This is new," William never met such a sturdy shield before, not something that could span to cover such a huge area without getting weakened. At the same time, the lack of any response from the academy side puzzled him further.
If there were an elite force hidden inside the academy, then this was the right time to attack. The dark masters were getting massacred in batches thanks to the great difference in the grade and strengths of both sides. And that meant even if they got the upper hand in terms of numbers, soon enough they'd lose out such advantage.
