William guessed that Sloth was standing somewhere in the shadows, watching over him. He also guessed what Sloth would think about, and so he decided to signal Sloth using this method.
The message was simple, let them come! I can handle them! William wasn't acting overconfident or way over his head or something, but he got what it took him to release such claims.
He got the mountain on his side, and he was the one securing the highest vantage point here. He had his arrows and grenades, explosives that could tear down large chunks of rocks, letting them freefall from such heights, landing fiercely and mercilessly over the heads of these monsters.
This was clear when the effect of what William released just now appeared in Sloth's spirit sense. The latter looked at the large number of rocks covered up with thick layers of snow, falling all the way from the top of the mountain down to the ground.
The moment they fell down, a great impact was the result. Sloth knew even if he was standing down there, he'd not emerge unscathed from such a brutal attack. And if William went all out, the same way he did when he was running away before, then things would turn very ugly to the incoming monster army.
William knew if there was any flying monster here, then things would have been much different. He'd not be able to stand up there, calmly overwatching the incoming grand monster army without feeling a single thread of worry.
As he sent such a message to Sloth, he hoped the latter would get it and trust him on this. Then he started to take lots of materials out, an oven, and his hammer.
"It's time to forge the heart of the beacon," the theory behind his method was to use one formation to counter another. To do so, he needed a medium to connect the two hostile formations together, and that was the use of the formation he laid before at the Black Holes zone. And all he missed now was the axis that'd control everything, the beacon.
The beacon would be considered the heart of all this, the mastermind that'd allow William to control the formations he and others laid. To do it, he needed strong materials to forget together, materials that could absorb and hold an insane amount of spirit power inside without getting ruined.
On top of that, these materials would be handy later on. When this would all be over, he'd have materials forged together, infused with high concentration of spirit power, enabling him to absorb it smoothly to raise his power.
He knew this might be enough to level up his grade to the high-end stage of the gold grade. He lacked a few thousand points, and if he gained them before absorbing the spirit power in these materials, then he'd be able to enter the dark gold realm at the end.
He started to work enthusiastically over the materials, melting ores and mixing them with other herbs and plants. Then he hammered the mixture to cleanse it, before making out a special mould, one that was in the shape of a large heart.
It was twenty metres in length and width, two metres in thickness. It looked a bit heavy, and he hoped it'd be enough to sustain the influx of spirit power coming from all these formations.
The enemy's formation would turn the dead monster parts and organs into shadows of monsters, undead shadows which could take down the lives of anyone without dying or suffering harm.
On the other hand, the formation he entrusted Sloth's vanguard team to make was going to target the monster organs buried in the holes, destroy them till they'd truly perish and vanish in thin air. The formation he laid in the Black Holes zone would act as a medium to do so. And that meant there would be one problem left, the problem of the spirit power gathered by all these formations.
The monster shadows would be gone after the destruction of the monster organs and parts, yet the spirit power used to summon them would remain. If such spirit power clashed with the one coming from the two other formations, then things would grow a bit messy.
His beacon would act as a regulator, would absorb such excess spirit power from all formations, tame and store it into the heart he was shaping right now.
He needed a very high place to be able to absorb spirit power from any direction. He knew this wasn't going to just absorb spirit power from the formations, but also from the entire world.
He trusted these materials to absorb and store no matter what amount of spirit power coming. But the speed of doing this was what worried him the most.
Absorbing such spirit power in days was different than absorbing it in mere hours or even minutes! Even if his newly forged heart was enough to store all this spirit power, he wasn't that sure about its ability to tolerate the pressure if the spirit power gushed in torrents in a short time towards it.
And that was why he was so delighted when he spotted the mountain series for the first time. He'd use the marvel of nature to his aid, let the entire mountainous series here to support his forged heart, be its back, support his heart and prevent it from shattering under the expected pressure.
To do so, he was thinking about different methods. But who knew fate would send the perfect answer and deliver it to his doorstep in the hands of his enemies?
The incoming grand monster army was going to be a problem if he had to face them head on. Even if he got Sloth on his side, even if he got the help of many formidable masters running here with their fastest speed as he guessed it already, it wouldn't be enough.
The target this time was him, and he knew he wouldn't be able to survive long enough if the situation was a bit different.
