Chapter 259 [Bonus ] Kiting Monsters
Ibra finally resigned to William's orders, moved forward, and hit in the way a few leopards which tried to stop him.
Each hit from his was enough to kill a leopard on the spot. And those who didn't die instantly got severely wounded on the spot. Even a few lost limbs and couldn't keep themselves standing straight.
This was the expected result. After all, Ibra was a gold grade spirit master who was using a silver grade glaive.
"Sara, move with Lang and go to the right… Berry and Peter will head left," once arrived at the gathering of the four teams, William didn't even stop to catch his breaths and started issuing more orders.
"What about you?" Berry and Sara shouted at the same time, as the two felt anxious about William.
"I'm going to stop them with Ibra," William moved his eyes over the other two who were in his team, "each of you will follow one direction, and then kite the leopards down from the side."
"Kite down? What does that even mean?" Peter hurriedly asked, while he started to move according to William's orders with Berry and their teams.
William realised that his knowledge about fighting all came from the outside world. Even the simple terms like kiting monsters weren't known in this tiny world here.
"You move on the outer side, keep hitting the monsters to wound and not kill them. Then in the next round, you'll try to wound more, deepen the wounds of those who are already wounded. Then at the next round, you'll keep doing this, and see if you can kill any monster fast."
He tried to explain this concept in haste, while others felt as if he was just asking them to toy with monsters.
"These are monsters, not sitting dolls on the ground!" Ibra was the one closest to William right now. As he didn't need to move like others, he got time to ask the doubts everyone got in their minds.
"Just watch and learn," William knew trying to say anymore wouldn't even help, "you and I will act differently."
"How so?"
"I will keep them busy using my movements, and you will try to heavily wound many and kill a few, while following me," William paused, holding his sword while feeling how much of his spirit power he consumed during the last fight.
'Twenty percent only… I'm growing more accustomed to using my lightning element and technique…' he realised his consumption rate was much slower than what he initially expected.
If he kept doing this, getting more adept at using his spirit element and technique, then his consumption would grow lower in time.
And even if that didn't happen, he'd still end up having four more chances to use his unique style in fighting.
"Let's do it!" William saw the two groups of his team get in the right spot to kite monsters, forming two curved arrows, like opened brackets, around the bunch of monsters which were getting closer to him.
To these leopards, it seemed William was their primary target, and then Ibra. As the two stood together, they ignored everyone else and tried to kill these two first.
Amidst their roars, William started to move forward. With his sword and knives, he kept flashing between the group of these leopards, without giving any chance to even touch a single hair of his.
At the same time, Ibra followed him, waving his glaive in the air a couple of times before slamming it heavily on a few leopards.
One kept the leopards busy roaring and trying to stop him, and the other acted to kill, heavily wound, and throw the leopards off their positions.
As for the other two groups of the team, the spirit masters there finally got what William meant.
The leopards moved towards William and Ibra, mainly trying to devour these two. Most of the monsters ran towards these two, and only a few tried to take a bite at the spirit masters on the sides.
However, they couldn't do any harm to any of these spirit masters thanks to the new gears the team got. They also activated their spirits, and a large wave of attacks landed on the monsters from both sides.
The monsters got hacked from three different directions, and in less than a minute, the entire team passed by these monsters, leaving behind many wounded and few dead.
On their side, the team members didn't actually suffer any losses. Few got wounded, mostly those white grade spirit masters.
They were still young and inexperienced in dealing with such scary and formidable monsters. And quite weak as well. Not to mention their attacks and defensive moves were useless against these monsters.
Luckily not a single one of them died. And as this round was over, the monsters got more enraged by their losses, and started to act berserk.
"Let's do it again," William shouted before adding, "don't move until I attract their attention, then act like before."
The monsters looked like they weren't going to follow their former attitude and target William and Ibra first. During this brief clash, they got hit and wounded by others as well.
So, William stepped forward first, running towards the monsters with Ibra on his toes.
As for the other two groups, they kept themselves in wait, watching William getting closer from the monsters.
The moment the two sides drew closer, the monsters forgot about the enemies they couldn't get and focused again on William and Ibra in front of them.
"Now!" William shouted, giving the signal for the two groups to move out. And like before, Ibra followed William's steps, waving his glaive right and left without using any technique at all.
