And yet no one ever learnt of the right path to do it, not to mention thinking that someone would go and then return back to this place.
Who would do it? And for what?
"I… Can't tell you how I know this, but I'm sure all this is the work of a human not from here," he paused, turned to look at the masters he brought with him from the other world, "and he isn't part of another world like these… This person… He is someone quite scary and strong! So strong that even all of us here won't hold a candle to him!"
His words were heavy, and even the strongest masters here couldn't help but get afraid.
"The only good news is that in our world, no one can yield such power," William paused, trying to sort out his words for them to understand, "so it's either he is here and his power is sealed, yet he is still so dangerous, or he is outside, watching all of this happening, and may intervene in any moment."
"How is this good news?!!" Sloth couldn't help but bellow out the moment he heard what William said. He was like others, and thought what William would tell them would be something reassuring.
"It may seem this isn't good, but in fact it is. If he is in this world, then we can collaborate together and kill him. If not, then we have to endure for one minute, and then the world will shut down his connection with our world, and make him unable to access here again."
"So… We have to suffer a ton in the end, right?" one of the old masters said, "but we'll kill or stop him eventually, that's your point, right?"
"How do we know this is going to happen? How can you tell all these?!!" another asked, while others nodded in agreement, and looked at William in doubt and surprise.
"I know it seems weird, but I got access to rare scrolls on my visit to the other world," William referred to his adventure in that world and the scrolls he gained access to, "Sloth can speak up for me about that."
He already prepared such an answer beforehand, and Sloth couldn't help but confirm what William said, "we need to act fast. The monster is protected by such a shield, and someone from the outside world is intervening. That only means one thing…"
"Which is?"
"This monster is going to take that step," when William said it, many faces dropped, and others gasped. Even for such old masters, taking that step and heading to the outer world was an impossible dream and a fear that no one was willing to experience.
It was like a gamble, one that any master or monster tried before failed according to the news spread in the world. That also meant this monster would be quite hard to deal with, very strong and quite threatening.
On top of that, there was that hidden master who was behind all this.
"That's why you were focused on developing that attack?" Sara got over her shock and fears, asking while looking at Sloth and other formidable masters.
"I suspected it'd be strong, but not to such a degree…"
"Liar," Sloth sighed, didn't mean anything by his comment, "I didn't know you for so long, but I can tell at least this about you. You will never do anything without a proper reason…"
"Regardless of reasons, we need to move fast," William turned around before adding, "Monsters won't come here for long hours. We need to find a way and deal with that shield first."
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "Won't your technique do it?" an old master said, "coupled with our strongest techniques, we can take it down."
Others nodded in agreement, but William slowly shook his head.
"This shield seems different," he paused, "I believe it's immune to any spirit power techniques and attacks."
"This…"
"Without spirit power, how can we do it then?"
"Using physical strength perhaps," William already had a theory about this shield. If it was made by someone from the outer world, then it'd aim directly towards one of the deadly weaknesses in this world, which was overly dependent on spirit power.
In the outer world, people like Lina and Tina were numerous. Out there it wasn't just spirit power that could unleash explosive attacks, but also physical strength as well. Yet in this world, all they knew was spirit power.
"How can we do it?" Sloth looked around before adding, "We all have an inhuman level of strength, but without spirit power, we can't do anything."
"We'll use her," without wasting more time, William pointed towards his girl before adding, "We'll help her to take down that shield."
"Me?!!!" Lina was the most shocked person there. She knew William wasn't trying to push her on the stage just for show. He believed in her, and yet she didn't seem to get why he thought like that.
"You are the best when it comes to physical strength," William nodded, "you are a Selvator! You hold an immense amount of physical strength, yet you don't have enough spirit power to unleash it."
"If she can't unleash that strength, how do you expect her to take down that shield?!!!" Sloth was speechless for a few seconds before adding, "You don't expect her to just punch that shield and it'll go down!"
"What exactly will happen," William nodded, "with our help, she can do it."
"How?" it wasn't just Sloth, but everyone else wanted to know the answer. They were willing to do anything to take down this monster, take this shield and see what lay within.
"We'll use a spirit power harnessing formation," William paused before adding, "as spirit power will be donated from us, while we use our physical strength-based techniques, that shield won't stop it."
"But…"
"I'll teach you all a technique, a physical-based one," William interrupted one of the old masters before adding, "Let's start. We have limited time here. You train, and I'll lay down the formation. Then we'll take down that shield and hit that monster hard, and kill it in the end."
