Then they started to grow, giving William the impression that they were about to elongate enough to reach and surround him.
He knew if he kept wasting time stacking more attacks, he'd get screwed. He couldn't tell how strong these monsters were exactly until he'd fight them. But from his initial testing attack, he knew they wouldn't get easily hurt by anything.
As he landed his attack, a fierce explosion occurred, ending up with a big crater in the ground. Just from the sound of the explosion alone, many monsters stood up and looked at William as if they were looking at a worthy enemy.
"Hmm… They did indeed have strong defences," when the dust settled, William could see that most of the monsters still remained on their feet. Yet many got ugly looking wounds, with their strongly defencive fur stripped off like someone used a claw to do it.
"At least I got a few killed," William spotted three motionless bodies, "let's see how you'll execute this formation then."
Just as he said this, the monsters remaining on the ground started to move. They didn't go directly for him, instead they changed their stance, making another little formation.
When William saw this, he didn't hesitate and dashed towards the closest motionless body. Without any hesitation he released his one hundred flying weapons to hack that dead monster's body through the places of the deep wounds even before he arrived there.
And when he got there, he found a glistering pale gold ball, one that was at least five times bigger than the monster cores he used to get before from his tiny world.
"This is almost like the cores of the outer world, only lacking in a little bit," he muttered to himself before holding the ball and dashed a few times, getting away from the area of danger.
He held high hopes for the world's monsters now. If this core was one tenth of the might of the outer world's cores, then he'd scored it big.
He didn't dare to use this core when the monsters were about to launch another attack. At the same time, monsters away from here started to send more groups to help their friends.
William moved fast, didn't head towards where Angelica and her team was. He went to another direction, and when he was safely away from danger, he started to cover up this orb with his blood.
*Sizzle!*
The moment he did this, he felt like he was thrown into an oven or something, surrounded by lava and not air. He felt every cell in his body ache as if he was experiencing the most inhuman torture ever in the world.
Yet this feeling soon faded away, and a magnificent feeling happened. It lasted for two minutes, before he returned to feel normal again.
"Damn! A single core added almost one hundred spirit points… That's insane!" William suddenly turned towards the close by monsters. And right now, he didn't hate coming here.
He felt like a fish thrown into the ocean, and he wanted nothing more than fighting and killing all the monsters in the world right now.
"Time to add thousands of points to my spirit power," William knew the more he consumed these cores, the less the spirit power points he'd gain. And yet he didn't think after killing tens of thousands of monsters here and absorbing their cores, he'd not gain thousands of spirit power in return.
As he aimed to do it, he started to act more seriously than before. He continued to circle around the monsters, dashing for tens of times, stacking fifty, sixty, and even one hundred attacks each time. And with each hit, he'd retreat, redo it again and again.
Monsters started to act more aggressive with him. Instead of just watching from afar or sending a few of their numbers, they started to work in teams of hundreds, each forming a grand formation, releasing torrents of deadly attacks one time after another.
Their attacks weren't any less dangerous than William's, and many were even far stronger than his. William used his fast-moving technique to get away from the way of harm. Yet eventually he had to retreat from time to time to escape the encirclement enforced on him by these monsters.
"Fighting intelligent monsters is indeed a pain…" he gulped his thirteenth elixir bottle. He was now consuming elixirs like running water. And yet he never regretted it even in the slightest.
He didn't let a single dead monster without cleaving its corpse and taking out his precious cores. He didn't care that much about materials, despite knowing how truly valuable they were.
He focused solely over the cores, and the monsters around didn't give him enough time to collect anything else. He kept advancing and retreating, doing this for an entire day, before the monsters started to group in a fierce colossal formation that was formed out of tens of thousands of them.
During this day, William killed and obtained hundreds of cores. It might seem a little, but he knew he'd gain thousands of spirit points by consuming them.
Yet when he saw what these monsters were doing, he didn't hesitate to turn around and started running. Angelica and her team were already on their toes, watching such a miraculous battle unfolding in front of their eyes with gaped open mouths out of their disbelief.
They were the dwellers of this world and knew how fierce such monsters were. They watched many masters fight and hunt down these monsters, and yet they never saw something like this.
In this world, masters who went to hunt down monsters were called Hunters. And they had to work in large teams, using various methods like formations, potions, elixirs, weapons, and even explosive substances and deadly attacks. And yet they'd always be considered lucky if their gain was in two figures.
Right now, and in front of Angelica and her people, they watched a single teenager fighting hordes of monsters alone, killing them without any restrain, ending up killing monsters in three figures.
