Chapter 270 William Wants The Core!
If he did, then he'd end up having a gold grade core to absorb. And that alone was enough to make him forget any fatigue or pain his body was screaming with right now.
"Go away, don't go there!" Ibra noticed how exhausted William was. Yet instead of retreating, he saw that kid walking towards the pit.
It was a weird move that got no explanation but one; William was so tired to realise where he was stepping towards!
"It's fine," against what Ibra thought, William's voice came stronger than before. He didn't notice the small bottle William held, or the few drops he took from it.
It was the spirit breath potion, the high-grade potion that could cleanse one's body and remove any fatigue.
He got it before from Ellina when he met her at the Forging department. And like that time, William needed it to cleanse away his exhaustion. A few drops were enough to make him feel refreshed again.
"Keep dealing with that tail," William shouted as he started to run towards the hole in the ground, "don't take a long time in taking it down!"
"Tsk! Why are you acting like this when I was just caring for you? What a troublesome kid you are!" Ibra shook his head, used his annoyance from William's attitude and released such anger towards the monster's tail.
William bypassed this intense battle range and found himself standing on the edge of the hole. There he spotted all of his teammates fighting the monster's body, trying to bring more damage to it.
The attacks that landed before already caused considerable damage. Lots of brown fluid soaked the ground, even forming little ponds in many places.
In the middle of all this, the techniques that were used before vanished and only weapons that were thrown were left there. The monster kept twisting and moving its body, trying to evade the incoming attacks in vain.
Its body was already suffering heavy damage, and it attacked the wrong target. William knew killing this monster was set in stone. But the question that still remained was about who was going to deal the final blow to this beast.
"I have to find a way to deal with these scales," William could tell the monster was going to die in the following ten minutes at this rate. So, he didn't stay at the edge of the hole for any longer, shifted his attention back, towards the part he just severed.
It was supposed to be the head of the monster. And Ibra was dealing with the tail right now. Which made two of the most significant and important parts of this monster exposed over the ground.
William got to deal with these two parts or go down there and help others by harming the exposed parts of the monster at the bottom of that hole.
Despite it seemed more practical to deal with the grand body of the monster down at the hole, William knew his chances in dealing the last blow this way were slim.
The monster got most of its body buried under earth. Even if it got part of its body exposed down there, William knew it wouldn't amount to more than ten percent of the overall size of the monster.
With everyone working together down there, they'd be able to wound the monster severely at best. The monster would die out of bleeding, not from any blow dealt to it from anyone in the hole.
The only option William had to kill this monster still relied on the two exposed parts off the ground.
"I have to weaken its scales before it reaches the death doorsteps," William thought to himself, "then I'll deal the last blow, giving this dude a little push over the edge."
Once decided, William returned again to the intense battle going on between the monster's tail and Ibra.
The latter once followed William's words, he started to gain the upper hand. The topmost one metre of the monster's tail was indeed the most vulnerable point in the entire monster's body.
William passed around this battle, heading directly towards the severely twisting part of the monster that he previously fought against.
"Great! You are finally back to your senses!" Ibra noticed William's actions, and realised this dude just went there to check on the progress of this battle, not to join it.
"Finish here fast and then go down there and help others," William casually said, "today, we are going to kill something most of spirit masters couldn't even touch! Let's make this a memorable day and bring this fiend down together."
"That's what I intended to do," Ibra didn't realise that he fell directly into the trap of William.
As this dude would leave this place soon, William would be free to act as he liked. The latter knew how hard and sturdy these scales were, and so he decided to use his strongest attack against it.
He decided to use his Holy Sword technique, the one that was enough to kill this beast a couple of times in William's estimate.
As for these scales, William wanted to see if they were able to stop his deadliest attack or what. If they endured it, they'd end up severely damaged, allowing him to issue another attack of the light technique move he learnt before.
But William didn't want to reveal this technique in front of others. So, he got to wait for Ibra to finish dealing with that tail, a thing that just happened five minutes later.
*Thud!*
*Roar!*
The tail part got severed at last, and it fell heavily on the ground by the side of Ibra. And with it, the monster faintly roared like a wounded beast for the first time ever!
"You finally took it down," William watched that dude wave his glaive a couple of times, cleansing it from the acidic brown blood of that monster.
