"Let's go, we must reach there and crush these damn things once and for all!"
The moment they heard what Sloth said, relaying the intel William told him about, they couldn't help but get more excited and hyped to go there. They weren't suicidal, but they never learned about the presence of monster gates before. Only Sloth noticed them when he was on the way towards here.
William didn't give him this task only, but another to do something about the dark master's main base. Yet Sloth knew with only one hundred masters on his side, he couldn't do it.
He decided to keep this intel hidden from them, and yet shared this with a single person, the one he most trusted after the king in the entire kingdom.
As he left with his team, William was still immersed in fighting monsters. He didn't get what happened back with the king and others as Sloth didn't send him anything so far. Yet he trusted the old man and knew how deeply loyal he was to the kingdom.
William focused solely on dealing with monsters for long days. His presence became like an annoying fly that dark master leaders got used to. They didn't try to take him down anymore, especially when Sloth pulled that act back at the king's side.
The moment Sloth interfered and the king showed his famous manifestation technique and all the leaders knew their attempt to assassinate the king using toxin failed.
This meant one pawn was down, and only brute force remained. They decided to kill the king using monsters and dark masters, by eating up the defending masters and shielding the king piece by piece.
They had no time to care or worry about a mere fly like William, not about Sloth and his miserable one hundred masters who just left the main battlefield. They focused mainly and solely on the king and directed everything they got there.
"Something happened!" William saw the monsters that tried to rip him apart during the past days stop coming, turned around, and roared while their eyes shone in bright black lights. Then they all started to run, madly run, all together, heading towards a single direction.
"Something must have happened back there… He must have done it," William didn't need to speak with Sloth to get to know what happened. And yet he couldn't allow these monsters to run and head towards the king's location.
He wasn't struggling at all to keep up with the incoming monsters. After all, the monsters here were at most at early stage dark gold grade, pretty weak compared to William's techniques and weapons.
By the sudden change in the entire situation, he didn't need to bother to defend against any incoming attack. He simply acted like a shark in the water, like an Orca whale in open oceans.
He released all of his techniques without the need to stack any attacks, killing tons of the monsters running without even thinking of fighting back. To him, this was a great experience, one that he knew Ibra would have enjoyed to the heart.
But he also knew he alone wasn't enough to stop them. "It's time for you to come," he decided to call for cavalry, calling everyone in. For more than a week, he left them to make as many potions as they could. And he was sure they made enough to route the monsters and dark masters here.
Sloth finished his task of saving the king, and that meant he was now on his way to deal with the monster gates. William's priorities shifted. Instead of trying to deal with monsters and stop them, he knew the top mission right now was to go and save as many masters back there as possible. And he needed his potions to do such a miraculous feat.
[Is it our time? At last!] Sara's voice came, [We were dying out of boredom here! Gathering herbs, doing nothing at all for days! Where are you? We are coming!]
"Just bring all the potions you made, make sure to give them to the strongest masters we have. Head directly after the sounds of the big battle, head directly to the king's location and give the potions to those out there. Tell them to attack, move without pause, and go towards the location of the monster gates. We have to take them down together!"
William knew Sloth was heading there right now. But he and the one hundred team he had wasn't enough to deal with all of these gates. Not to mention the moment they approached there, dark masters would start to retaliate. And things would turn worse starting from there.
As Sloth was advancing towards the gates, William decided to move as well and do everything in his power to support him. He didn't know if he could save him or not, but at least at the end of all this, the dark masters would lose! And he had to know who was standing behind all this.
As he gave his friends and masters with them the order, he knew he had done what he could to help Sloth. He then returned to focus on killing monsters, heading slowly back toward the monster gates' direction.
His progress was smooth for a few hours, killing an endless number of monsters. He didn't feel any pressure, and yet he still couldn't undo his spirit body form. That meant the toxin was still thick and high in the air.
He thought the source of this toxin came from the candle Sloth found. By taking it away, he imagined things would be better. Yet it wasn't.
"There must be other sources of this toxin," his thoughts shifted towards the heavily secured base of the dark masters here, "I have to think of a way to prevent them from leaving with such a weapon."
He grew interested in getting his hands over the source of this toxin and studying it. He was sure such a thing would help in bypassing the upcoming grave disaster of this world many years later.
