For a moment there, he considered going there and helping them. But when he heard about the good performance they were doing, he decided to stay where he was.
Right now Sloth and others were facing hard times dealing with the strong monsters here. And yet William knew this was great, as like this his path towards the monster gates was wide open.
He killed monsters until he reached the first gate. There he stood like a mountain, stopping any monster he spotted. He released his two monstrous weapons freely, letting them kill as they liked without worrying about their safety.
The dark leaders noticed what he was doing, but they decided to not do anything to stop him. Even if he showed weird power and killed tons of monsters, he was just affecting a single gate, nothing else.
Yet they didn't get that William alone was much more dangerous than any of the scary masters led by Sloth. As he stood close to the giant monster gate, he got the chance to inspect it thoroughly.
"Hmm… A gate with spatial elements is normal, but to have to write down space powered runes… That's quite weird…"
He knew using runes and old language letters was something normal to stabilise such gates, but the runes used were mainly focused to stabilise space, not control it!
Seeing this made him realise something, the ones controlling these gates didn't have any space element in the first place. If so, they wouldn't need to use the runes' power to supplement such a lack.
That also meant these gates weren't that stable, weren't that immune like normal gates. When he considered the huge number of these gates here, he couldn't help but think this was quite normal and expected.
Having to establish these gates would require tons of preparations and materials. Not to mention spirit power consumption rate. To establish a single monster gate, a space based dark master was required to make it appear and get linked to the other place filled with monsters.
William started to sum everything up, and his mind provided the perfect way to handle these gates. Normally speaking, this method would usually fail.
"I know you are dead busy, but there are things that I need your help with," as he got an idea about what to do, he decided to ask the help of Sloth. If he started alone to do it, he'd attract the attention of the cautious dark leaders.
He knew they left him alone all this time as he was weak and didn't pose a threat to them. Once he acted, they'd link the dots and that would open gates of hell on his face.
Besides, he didn't want to alarm the enemy. "I know you are dead busy, but this is important… It's related to the survival odds of your king and kingdom…"
Before he'd even finish his words, Sloth's fog appeared in front of him. "Speak quickly, I'm in a very dangerous situation right now."
"Cool, we are going to do this…" William knew the soft spot of Sloth, and he perfectly used it every single time.
"Are you sure?" Sloth heard William till the end before he added, "you know if we retreated, we won't get this chance again."
"This is the best counter to all this," William stressed over it, "plus my people are going to help the king and his forces. Yet they are attacked fiercely right now. We need to make a diversion as well."
Sloth got what William wanted to say. They were here to not kill monsters, but to save the king and kingdom remaining elites. Once they got saved, destroying these gates and dark masters wouldn't be this hard.
"Ok, give me half an hour then."
Sloth didn't say anything else, went to continue his fights while arranging things with the masters he had on his side. William knew he could depend on him, and so he waited patiently for half an hour.
"It's time! Let's do it!" Sloth kept his word and spoke to William after half an hour.
"You start, I've something else to do," against what Sloth expected, William decided to stay behind.
"You…"
"Just do it! I have something different to do," William knew he was going to face huge trouble like this, but he decided to do this task. He was the only person able to do it thanks to something silly; his weakness.
He was the weakest master here, and so far the enemy didn't place a trophy on top of his head. And that gave him an advantage that others didn't have.
"Tell me when you are in the right spot," William kept doing the same, killing monsters while waiting for Sloth to give him the green light.
"We are there! Will start doing it now!"
"Great," William didn't move out when he heard Sloth's words. He waited, waited until he felt the ground tremble fiercely and tons of roars came from one direction.
"It's starting," William turned his face towards one direction, "sorry old man, but you have to honour your age and shield the pressure for the youngsters like me."
William tricked Sloth, or didn't tell him everything. The moment he heard such ruckus, he knew the dark master leaders moved everything they got and were trying to stop Sloth and others.
To William, this wasn't a big deal. After all, Sloth was facing hard times with others before, and this wasn't much different than what they experienced in the past few hours.
As Sloth was taking the heat, William started to move. He wanted Sloth to lay down a space disruption formation, one that would destabilise any portal.
Such a formation would work best against normal portals, not against such behemoths. Putting into consideration the weak space element embedded in these gates, William was sure the formation was enough to tear many gates down. Yet there was something missing.
He had to disrupt the connection between the dark leaders and these gates. If he dared to do so before using Sloth and his team as a decoy, he'd be doomed.
