William was so close to the heart of that tower, but he was now far, far away from it. Or that was what he thought about.
"Where are you?"
Just before he'd found any clue about where he was, even before he'd taken the map he had before out, suddenly something flashed in front of him. A pillow of smoke appeared, with a vague face of someone, someone he instantly recognised the moment he saw it.
"Sloth! Where are you? Is everyone fine?" William instantly bombarded him with tons of questions, and the answers he got blew up his mind.
"We are still in that zone, or what it was before it transformed into such a lavish thriving place, full of life and brimming with beauty and hope…"
Sloth spoke, spoke in succession, with each phrase he said came with a new smoke rising up a few metres away from William. The latter heard a story that was so hard to believe it was true.
According to Sloth, they moved in separate ways to do their task. At first things were going like usual, with monsters even trying to take a bite of them as William expected.
The moment they started laying down that array and everything around tried to kill them, even air. Fierce gales of wind erupted, and tried to carry them away, taking them out from the safe tunnels, throwing them into the open outer and deadly world.
As things went south for days, they lost many of their members. This happened not only for the ones William rescued, but also to Willaim's team. Luckily his friends were experienced enough, saw lots of depressive moments, and ended up adapting to the risky situation and surviving this.
Then all of sudden, and without any warning, a colossal explosion occurred. According to Sloth, it came from the direction William headed towards from the place of that tower.
William listened to a story that he found it hard to believe. A flash of bright light enveloped everyone, making them believe they were about to lose their lives.
Yet when the light vanished, they found themselves standing in a new world. It was one that was filled with trees, lots of green, very beautiful, very peaceful. They thought they went to heaven or something, but soon enough they started to contact each other using Message Papers, ending up realising they were all seeing the same thing, and they were in the same spots they were supposed to be before that bizarre explosion occurred.
"What's going on?!!!" William couldn't find any suitable answer to explain any of this. He and anyone who witnessed such a miracle, be it from this world or not, would find it hard to explain what exactly happened here.
The disbelief William and others felt was nothing compared to the grand storm that erupted in the entire world. Almost ninety percent of the dangerous and deadly zones in the entire world got cleared out of the blue and got replaced with lavish green pieces of heaven.
There was no explanation of this. And even when the news of what William and other masters from various cities did, none would be able to find a suitable reason for any of that.
Only William got a clue about what happened, linking this to the mysterious words said by that higher being. If he could do such a thing, then he was indeed quite mighty, considered to be a god or something.
William knew from the scrolls that gods did truly exist, and a higher realm was there. So he partially guessed the identity of that being, had a reasonable explanation for all what happened here even if it was just by linking this to the one who created all this.
William learnt about the places of others and knew the mountain he was standing on top of wasn't the only mountain in the region. They also found themselves standing over five more mountains. And this region would be known from now on as the Land Of Six Mountains, the origin of the miracle that happened to this world.
William walked for a few hours before he finally met with everyone. It seemed he got delayed by twelve hours after the start of this miracle, the time he didn't know where he spent or how it went this fast.
As he met his friends, made sure that no one was missing them, he turned his attention towards others. The few thousands who were entrapped here got diminished to just a few hundreds. That was expected after the last stressful hours everyone lived through.
William then led everyone out. They asked if he got a way out of here, and he nodded in reassurance.
As they went outside, they were welcomed with the stupefied army of masters. What happened inside this zone was perceived by all, yet what they truly experienced was indeed surprising as well.
Monsters that swarmed this place, attacked everyone and tried to kill them vanished out of thin air. Unlike the area that was hellish and turned to heaven, the entire area around that was filled with monsters and battles changed into part of hell.
Lava streams were running everywhere, with broken lands and burning trees. There wasn't anything that looked normal in the entire region, not even close from what everyone knew about this part of the continent.
As few joked about it, saying that the entire maps had to change, and they were indeed right. After all such changes didn't just appear in this region, but also at other places in the continent, at many places in the entire world.
Maps of this world had to be ditched away and redrawn, as the world everyone knew didn't look the same as before.
The hellish area wasn't that deadly as everyone feared. They traversed it for a few days, before ending up in areas in the world they were familiar with.
During this walk, they didn't face a single monster, not even when they walked for long days towards the nearest towns and cities.
