Then it started to spread, and it felt like fire was working its way around a thick and solid shield, circular in shape, expanding for tens of kilometres.
William knew he had no power to crush such a natural and mighty power, but he just wanted these few seconds of collision between his technique and the gravitational power. The moment the two clashed, the irresistible suction force got relieved off his body.
His body was already on his way towards the sky, so he fell, crossing tens of metres towards the ground.
"Dig the ground, let's do it together, let's use my cannonball!" William was like a crazy master right now, but he never lost his cool. He just was carried out by this unbelievable moment, ordering his two weapons to fall on the ground, using the same move of his.
The three of them were already falling fast, but the moment they activated their dash, they rose slightly high in the air, before falling once again, much faster this time.
*Boom!*
The collision sound seemed like a symphony in William's ears. The ground got depressed, and a hole appeared. "Keep digging!" he never thought about resting, not even for a single second. He gulped elixir bottles, healing and spirit power regeneration ones, while his two weapons started to dig a tunnel underground.
The same method his friends, team, and masters led by Sloth used was also used by him. He got the same idea as Sloth and others and knew the only safe and possible place for him to use without dying was underground.
He knew alone he wouldn't be able to do it. It wasn't the problem of lacking power, but because primarily he knew he got little time left to do anything. And he was right.
The technique he painstakingly stored up and released at last couldn't buy him more than twenty seconds. During which, he worked hard with his two weapons, his flying weapons, and even using his technique to dig a tunnel that was still newbie and short, but it was quite deep in the ground.
That helped in saving him lots of trouble. The moment the monstrous suction force returned, and he felt the entire ground he was digging trembling fiercely like it was made out of glass not solid rocks.
"Keep digging!"
This shout didn't just come from William, but from Sloth as well. Both were trying to dig the ground, go deeper and advance forward at the same.
William's stressful moments didn't end by going deeper underground. Just a few minutes after he started with his two monstrous weapons to dig the ground, the same weird monsters appeared and came at him.
"Damn! The Earth Flies? What the heck are these nasty and opportunistic monsters doing here?!!" he instantly recognised the breed of these monsters. But he didn't have any time to even think about the answer.
He knew how annoying these monsters were. They weren't strong, didn't have that much strength even if most of them were gold and dark gold grade. But they'd never attack until they were their targets were in very disadvantageous situations, close to death, or suffering mortal injuries.
Their appearance was always a sign of a bad omen. William didn't care about any of that, and only started to use his fiery techniques, returning to be one tailed fox, while releasing fire to cover up the entire tunnel.
Fire was the nemesis of these little monsters. And so, he started to deal with these monsters, while his two monstrous weapons kept digging.
As for his flying weapons, he added another hundred to the original one, controlling two hundred right now. He didn't have the choice from the start and used his weapons to form a shield around him and his two monstrous weapons.
He kept advancing forward, fighting, while holding his friends Bullets and spoke to them all the time.
His top priority was to first enter safely into this area. Then he had to find his friends. Trying to go deeper wasn't going to work, so he started to move in zigzag underground through the tunnel. And in less than one hour, he finally received something for the first time ever.
[Hey… Hey… Will… Willia… There?] as he was fighting and running into the tunnel, he received such a bad and interrupted voice from Sara.
"Keep speaking, don't stop and I'll find you," William shouted the moment he heard her voice. Even if he couldn't tell what exactly she was saying, he knew he was getting closer to them. As for how he was going to find them, he decided to use the same method he previously found them when they arrived here. And that was why he asked her to keep speaking.
"Turn right!" The moment he sent this message, Sara kept speaking non-stop. Using her voice and his reception of it as a guidance, he started to twist the tunnel right and left, back and forth, until he finally started to get closer in a few hours.
As he was busy doing this, the situation was totally different at his friends and team's end. As they were digging and fighting for their lives, Sara kept holding her Message Paper tightly, as if she was waiting for a boyfriend who left for too long to call.
Her move wasn't needed in many eyes, as William was always speaking with Sloth using that mysterious scroll. But it happened! In the middle of all these hectic battles and running, in the middle of all this agony and pain, his voice came like a soft breeze in the hottest days of summer, making her stop breathing even for a few seconds.
"Are you ok?" Ro said as Sara suddenly froze. She was the closest one to Sara, and she instantly knew something was wrong.
"It's… It's him…" as if the two of them were standing in the middle of their home backyard's garden, speaking and chatting leisurely, Sara turned to her and said, with disbelief, with eyes forming total circles out of her immense shock.
