"I seem to stir the hornet nest this time, hahahaha!" seeing the far distanced battles and new stronger monsters didn't let him down. Instead, he felt more amused by such a situation, hoping to draw more monsters here.
He knew the exit was where most of the monsters were. He also didn't believe such an exit was movable and would follow monsters wherever they went.
In return, the exit was fixed, like a portal or something. And the reason why the exit was where most of the monsters were, was thanks to their duty to protect it, nothing more, nothing less.
So by drawing more monsters here, he'd leave the exit region here undefended. All he needed to do now was to look for this portal, and he got an idea about where it was.
"The monsters took roughly twelve hours to arrive here, and they came mainly from one direction… So, if I run towards that direction for hours, I'll end up at this portal…" he muttered to himself, while his hands never stopped releasing arrows towards the large number of water shaped creatures hunting him down.
His theory was right, but he had to spend more hours as more monsters blocked his path towards that direction the more distance he crossed. The pink spots sight was now getting old as he started to see it all over the place.
He knew if he listened to what Angelica mentioned, go towards the area of the portal leading out from here at first, then he'd end up suffering a lot under the hands of the monsters protecting it.
That was why he tried to take monsters down, to learn of the right way to handle these before coming here. And luckily for him, he didn't just kill a lot, but also dragged the attention of far scarier and stronger monsters.
Even with wasting more time in evading the blockage of monsters, William wasn't stressed or pressured by any of this, not like Angelica. The latter felt like her life was as a feather, getting pushed around by fierce wind in the middle of a thunderstorm.
She kept screaming every time new monsters appeared and blocked their path, cried out and pleaded fate to show mercy on them. William grew used to this eventually, even laughing out from time to time over her shouts and pleas.
The chase took more than twenty hours. During which William didn't just dash around without killing more normal monsters that appeared in front of him. As long as these monsters weren't the high-grade ones, he'd release the stacked attacks over them.
He kept running and storing attacks, waiting for the right moment to release them. So, he added hundreds of spiky cores to his collection, and now he had thousands of them.
"Here you are," when he arrived at his destination, he spotted a portal that appeared like a circle of wind in the middle of the ice. It was just big enough to let thousands of people pass through without getting crowded.ραпdαs `n?ν?| сom
"Damn! There are more monsters there!" Angelica shouted the moment she saw the hordes of water shaped monsters blocking their path towards the portal. The portal was less than three kilometres away, but the path towards there was already a deadly challenge.
"At least they are all normal monsters," William spotted a few big ones in the middle of all this, yet they weren't enough to threaten him, "hand tight, we are going to barge our way through them one way or another."
"Wait… There are thousands of them…" before she'd continue her screams, he already dashed forward. She got used to how speedy his movements were, yet she couldn't help but feel bad the moment he moved towards the bulk of monsters holding the line and blocking their path forward.
William didn't have any other option but to break through such a blockade using pure might. He took out grenades and threw them at the front, while releasing lots of arrows as well to cover up his advance.
At the same time, he kept his hand over his stored attacks and focused on evading the monsters using his dashs. The path he walked through was now filled with a raging sea of fire and loud rumbling explosions. And after dashing for a few times, he ended up releasing the attacks over the monsters, creating a massive fireball and a violent shockwave.
He kept dashing and releasing his attacks without stacking any from this point onward. He wanted to reach the portal fast, faster than the arrival of the stronger monsters chasing him relentlessly from behind.
He kept dashing, moving his tails right and left, throwing everything he had towards the densely packed monsters. And yet his advance speed seemed to get slowed down gradually, as his attacks lacked the devastative power of his stacked-up technique.
The only thing that safeguarded him was the many explosions caused by his arrows and grenades. They weren't enough to tear down the ice, but they were enough to stop the monsters and let them suffer.
He had to walk at the end like he was pushing against a mountain or something. He took out his protective gears, and even so he started to get hurt. Even Angelica also suffered from a few wounds, alongside lots of screams that came out of fear rather than pain.
"We are here," William struggled and persisted until he finally reached the portal. By then, he could see the fiercer monsters coming closer from his location, coming in a large number of normal monsters, forming a grand and scary army.
Yet this didn't matter anymore. The moment he arrived at the portal, he dashed directly towards it, taking alongside him a few monsters using his free tails.
He barged into the portal, feeling like he crashed into hot lava. He saw the surface of the portal crack as if it was formed of glass or ice, shattered under his body, leading him into a clear world that felt like water.
