The distance that remained didn't take him more than half an hour to cross. And when he reached the outer border of it, he found tons of monsters standing between him and that zone.
The monsters blocking his path were a large collection of many kinds in this world. He recognised a few of them, didn't recognise most of them, but that didn't stop him from advancing forward.
"I have to deal with you alone," William turned into his four tail spirit body, took out all of his flying weapons, the two hundreds of them, plus four weapons for his tails to hold.
He didn't think about using his two monstrous weapons, leaving them for later. The moment he took everything out, he gulped one elixir before dashing towards the endless monsters up ahead.
He started his attack using his newly developed technique. The path he dashed through was lightened up by tons of explosions, turning the dark night into a blazing hot area in this part of the world.
Monsters roared, many tried to run and escape from this deadly attack. Yet in the end nothing succeeded. There wasn't enough room to begin with, besides the explosions William released were expanding like mad, covering up hundreds of metres areas in mere seconds.
William didn't just stop here. This was just the beginning. As long as he had elixirs, he didn't care. All he needed to do was to keep pushing himself forward. As for the few moments which he needed to consume elixirs and start a new dash, he protected himself using his flying weapons.
The masters who responded to Sloth's calling were already close enough to witness this. According to Sloth, they came here to rescue William from a deadly situation, helping the two of them to go forward and penetrate the thick ring of monsters.
But what they saw was totally opposite to what they expected. William was like a slaughtering machine, everywhere he went, death followed!
Monsters were falling like flies in the middle of these attacks. As for the high-grade monsters, luckily for William the outer zone was void of anything like them.
These monsters were all at early-stage dark gold or lower. The dark masters orchestrating everything decided to keep the big guns back, at the rear, letting only the weaker monsters to stand up front, acting as fodders.
They wanted to tear the incoming army of masters down before they'd finally reach the deadly monsters at the end. At the same time, if any surprise happened, like the presence of too many high-end masters or something, then these monsters would work as a deterrent force, protecting dark masters from those deadly masters.
Even if the dark master army got enough high-end masters on their end, they always thought about limiting their losses. That was why they selected that grand formation in the first place and used these monsters to buy them time to finish laying down this formation.
They never thought the master army would send a vanguard unit to topple up their arrangements, and they never saw William coming. The latter kept advancing forward quite fast, and that made the watching high end masters feel their blood boil, soothing with the desire of joining this fight as well.
They knew soon enough they'd have such a chance. After all, with the current advancing speed of William, he'd cross tens of kilometres in a few hours.
William was just running, while leaving behind his death trail that left the monster army in disarray. He was too absorbed in fighting any monster he'd see to check out the surroundings.
If he did, he'd notice that many weak monsters started to run, not towards him, but towards any place away from here. His sudden charge managed to shatter the control dark masters had over them. And like this, a domino effect started to take place.
As weaker monsters started to flee, the number of monsters standing behind him was getting smaller by each passing minute. Yet he ended up getting surrounded by many dark gold and gold monsters, trying desperately to take him down without any success.
The danger moments were when he had to stop, replenish his lost spirit power using elixirs. This would take a few seconds, giving a chance for the monsters around to take a hit at him.
At the first hour, he was able to fend off these monsters using his flying weapons. But later on, this became more challenging. He couldn't hold back all the monsters coming for his life and had to use his dashing technique from time to time to evade the deadly attacks coming from all directions.
Gradually this became annoyingly pressuring over him. His advance speed that was high at first started to decrease. And when far stronger monsters started to join the battle, things became much harder for him.
The dark masters were busy finalising their preparations for that grand formation. But the ruckus William created was something that couldn't be easily missed by them.
At first, they didn't care about him. A single master was barging his way alone inside the endless swarm of monsters surrounding the entrance to this region wasn't a threat in their eyes.
Even if he was strong, even if he could transform and use his spirit body, he was still at gold grade and was alone. They knew sooner or later; his spirit power would run dry thanks to the mad use of such strong and ferocious technique.
But when a few hours passed, and they witnessed how this master kept attacking in his prime like he just started the battle, they decided to add more trouble to him and finish him up.
They ordered many high-end monsters to go there and stop William. They sent a few hundred middle stage dark gold grade monsters, led by a few tens of high stage monsters as well.
This force was enough to take down a group of high-end masters, not just a single teenager at the gold grade.
