"Let's do it!" Many masters got the vibe to fight ignited inside them, and William started to show and explain in thorough detail how to do it. The technique wasn't that hard, and it was just releasing a punch that'd take the form of a dragon head and tiger body in the end.
They didn't need to release it to hit a target, as the formation he was going to lay would gather all these techniques and move them towards Lina.
It was similar to how he used to absorb the techniques of other masters to unleash the deadly final attack. Yet unlike him, she didn't need to depend on her spirit power to do it, the formation would handle that part for her.
As all the masters here started to train on this simple technique, William went around and laid out the formation. He made sure it was close to that shield and took his time to check the direction of the final blow Lina would launch.
He studied the shield, and from what he could tell it was indeed like he guessed. The shield was immune to any spirit power. He just tested and released many attacks towards it. All the techniques he used were useless, and yet a single explosive arrow was enough to show faint cracks on the surface of that shield.
"Grenades can take it down…" he felt relieved when he saw these faint cracks spreading, yet they healed just as fast as they appeared.
It meant this shield could instantly heal itself once damaged, which was a bit of bad news.
"I need to sync with them then," he looked at the formation he laid, adjusted a few things before he finally was done, "I'll start first with a bellow of my arrows and grenades, then her punch would dive in and deepen the cracks… If one hit didn't do it, then ten will break that shield in the end…"
The most important feature about formations was that they didn't consume much spirit power, and didn't get depleted after being activated and used once.
That meant they could repeat the attack, and eventually, that shield would be breached.
As he finished the formation, he checked on the progress of everyone. The older masters learnt the technique pretty fast, then they started to guide and help other masters to do it.
William and other masters who learnt the technique went on and helped others with tips and advice. In the end, they all took three hours to learn it. And William took one hour to teach Lina what to do.
Anjie kept his side, while other girls surrounded him. They got pushed away at the end when he learnt they didn't train on the technique yet. But in less than one hour, they all returned and kept his side.
"You need to just control the formation as I taught you," after four hours, everyone stood in their places on the formation, while William said to Lina, "Don't feel any pressure, I'll be by your side all the time. Just follow the direction of my arrows and aim towards there without looking for the result."
"How long will it take?" She was nervous, and she had all the reasons to feel so. After all, the fate of everyone fighting here depended on taking down this shield, or else their mission would be a failure.
After all this struggle and sacrifice, it wasn't acceptable for them to fail. Realising all this made her feel more nervous, despite how William tried to support her.
"I'll do fine, right?" She rarely showed such a weak side of her, but at this moment, she couldn't help but want anything else in the world but lean on his chest and forget everything she was feeling.
She wanted to hear it from him, as if when he'd said it things would turn for the better in the end. "Everything will be great," and when he beamed with a smile, she felt like the entire world was shining with that smile as if all the pressure and anxiety she was feeling were gone.
"Let's do it," William then retreated, leaving the stage for her and other masters, "use your techniques and activate the formation. Keep releasing your techniques together, and when done, do it again!"
The next moment, everyone started to execute their techniques. The older masters kept controlling everything, timing out the different masters' potential, mastery, and power in executing the technique.
Even if it was the same technique, it'd be different from one master to another. Stronger masters would take much less time to execute the technique. And if they lasted a bit longer in doing it, they'd unleash a much stronger form of it, while spending more spirit power.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm So it was a must for them to organise everything, and with their spirit sense and vast experience, they could do it perfectly fine.
William watched the ground shine while the formation got activated. The techniques released by the masters got absorbed by the formation, all channelled towards Lina.
"Do it now, Lina!" William shouted while holding his bow, pulling the string as hard as he could. There was a single arrow there, but this one carried dozens of grenades, making it look like an arrow that got cancer over its shaft.
He kept his spirit sense focused on Lina. The moment she got his shout, she started to execute her strongest punch technique. This came of course from William, and it was a very deadly attack towards any master at the same level as her.
But with all the support she had from the formation, she ended up releasing a very violent attack, one that looked as if she was releasing a laser ray, not just a simple technique.
The moment her technique was about to get unleashed, he released the arrow, "target and follow my arrow, don't miss it!" he shouted while knowing that he took care of this matter as much as he could.
