William stopped after almost an hour of doing all this, "I need to spread over my attacks, I have to use my dash technique more efficiently than this…"
William looked around. He was now standing on the edge of the deep hole he created. And after doing all this, the wind cleared over an area of a few hundred metres. Yet this wasn't enough. The moment he stopped attacking, and the wind stopped getting pushed back, and even started to recede again.
William took this as an intense battlefield right now. The moment he decided to broaden his area of activity and he started to dash right and left, going everywhere with his technique.
He didn't hold back, took even an elixir bottle out and emptied its content in his throat. He kept pushing himself to the limits, crossing hundreds of metres with each dash, jumping in an oblique course instead of just jumping straight towards the sky.
There was no sky right now, instead a ceiling made out of wind raging wildly without any moment of pause. To William, it felt like he was fighting against forces of nature, and yet this force was getting crushed against what he was doing.
As he expanded his attack range, things started to improve for the better. With each group of attacks he unleashed, the wind got pushed back further and further.
He didn't aim to dig the ground and reach a deep level. This wouldn't help at all. Instead, the ground started to show more holes, shallower than the one he initially created, spreading all over a huge area of a few kilometres.
"I found you!" After half an hour of doing so, and after clearing the wind entrapment for almost ten kilometres in radius, he finally spotted the outside world. The moment he saw a gap, he flashed towards it without any speck of hesitation.
The gap was just thin and narrow, not enough to let him pass through. And yet he stacked multiple dashes before he landed on the ground with his tails.
The shockwave was strong enough to expand the wind further backwards, widening this gap and creating a big hole out of a previously tight one.
"Phew, I got out at last," the moment he landed outside, he couldn't help but heave a deep sigh of relief. He got stressed for the past few hours trying to get out of this windy prison, and he got slightly exhausted from doing so.
Yet he didn't have time to rest or recuperate. The moment he got out, he finally spotted what was making all this. "Damn! This isn't a ground, but a back of a colossal flying beast!!!"
That was what he found when he came out from the wind. What he saw was a gigantic back of some sort of a whale-like monster, and the wind that entrapped him inside was coming from one opening that seemed like its nostrils or something.
That wasn'[t the only shocking discovery he had. This wind prison, which was now some sort of a breathing cloud of this monster, wasn't just single. There were lot more of these, as half of the entire monster's back was covered with these nostrils and wind.
The nostrils weren't small. Each one was at least one kilometre in width. Each sprouted out a cloud of wind, that enveloped a huge area of tens of kilometres, rising for hundreds of metres in the sky.
When William got freed from his surprise, he found that the sky of this world was dark blue, with few dots shining all over the place like they were little and far distance away stars or something.
There was no moon, and yet the world was lit by things flying in the air, things like this monster. Big part of the back was covered in these windstorms, while the edges were releasing sparks of lights, looking as if bolts of lightning was clashing against each other.
The lights were pale blue and red, giving the sky a very serene look. William didn't appreciate the sight, despite how beautiful it was, as he got attracted with something else.
"The wind blows, but these noises can't be from the wind…" William didn't get why the ones who came here before, the ones who belonged to the Novistic kingdom, didn't report about the presence of such flying monsters.
The only explanation was that the ones who came here never managed to get out from the wind entrapment. As for how they got killed fast when they stepped in here and he didn't suffer a thing, he guessed the answer to that.
It was all thanks to his snake spirit, the one that got stirred up and seemed like it protected him from great danger.
Putting all these thoughts aside, he heard weird, muffled noises, things like screams and agonising cries, coming from many wind bubbles around.
Linking all this together, he couldn't help but imagine the worse happening to his team. "Where are they then?" even if he wanted to help, even if he got a way to force his way through this wind, he knew it'd take long time to scan everything.
"The Bullets!" the moment he thought how useless it was to check all these wind prisons one by one, the idea of using Bullet jumped into his mind, "please work… Where are you? Can you hear me?"
William already tried to use his spirit sense inside the wind prison and failed. And now he also tried to spread his sense around. It worked at any area outside the wind bubbles, outside of the monster's immense body.
He saw other monsters, different in shapes and size, flying slowly in the air. They looked as if they were floating over the surface of a calm lake, spreading both terror and light to the world.
Yet he didn't have the choice to scan everything in great detail and just got satisfied with a random overall scan. Then he turned his full attention towards his Bullet.
