BXBX NOVEL Chapter 882 Army Of Monsters
"Who knows the area here?" Sloth didn't want to waste more time on looking for something like this.
"There is a huge series of mountains not too far from here," one master pointed towards a direction, one that was opposite to the one they came originally from, "but…"
"It doesn't need to be on the same line with the two formations," William knew what this master had in mind, "let's go. And send a word back, let everyone stand on the formation as I instructed them before."
William suddenly turned to be the leader instead of Sloth, and even Sloth didn't have any say about that. They all followed his words, and the group started to run fast towards that mountain.
The distance was thirty kilometres from their current spot, and they crossed it in just two hours. William managed to cross it this fast thanks to their help, and when he saw that series of mountains, he knew he found the right spot indeed.
"Good suggestion," he raised a thumb towards the master who suggested this, "now you need to go back, bring the army here."
"This…" What he said invoked surprise and doubt in everyone standing here. But when he slowly explained it, they got his point.
He first spoke about how safe it was right here. He wasn't that weak as they could tell, and monsters wouldn't venture outside the Black Holes zone to just attack him.
As for them, they needed to go back and bring the army here. The formation was ready, and he needed the army to be present when the formation would work. And he wanted Sloth's army to be present here first, earlier than everyone else, so they'd reap all the fame and success from this war.
They started to move, all except for Sloth. The latter decided to remain behind, stay hidden and watch William's back and actions. He was both worried and curious about what this youngster wanted to do. As for others, they also wanted to see what William was going to do, and only left after getting a promise from Sloth to record everything he'd do.
William didn't know that he was being watched, but he guessed that from his past experience with Sloth. The latter would say something and do totally the opposite. But that didn't matter to him.
"At least I have an old man looking after these monsters," William wasn't that confident the dark master leaders wouldn't send monsters to take him down. And he was right!
His actions were all perceived by the dark master leaders. They ruled the entire region for endless years and had established ways to oversee anything happening around even if it exceeded the reach of their spirit sense.
So, the moment they saw William stand alone, and everyone else was moving away, they decided it was the right moment to take down this annoying bug.
They got fed up with failure and decided to send a large army of monsters led by a hundred high end grade ones.
Even Sloth would fall under the might of these monsters. As the army of monsters started to run like mad towards William, the latter was climbing the mountain, heading to its top.
The higher he climbed, the colder it became. He had to use his healing and spirit power regeneration potions from time to time, keeping himself safe and warm.
The mountain peak he selected rose up for at least five thousand kilometres, considered the highest peak in the entire mountainous series standing in front of him. The terrain was rough, and he slipped more than once, especially when he got closer to the top.
Yet that didn't stop him. He kept using his weapons to flatten the hard area, making it much easier to climb. As for the annoying and slippery ice, he had to use his fire techniques from time to time, melting them down and paving the way to the very top.
When he arrived there, he took around two hours of constant climbing. Just standing there, where clouds were just in the reach of his hands, felt truly amazing.
But he didn't have enough time to admire the scenery around. When he was close to the peak, he spotted something grand, something black, something coming towards him at a fixed high speed.
And this came from the direction of the Black Holes zone. "So they sent their monsters after all," he stood over a wide plateau at the peak and saw the monsters drawing closer. They weren't more than an hour away from the mountainous region, and that told him they weren't all high-grade monsters.
He couldn't use his spirit sense to detect these monsters clearly, but Sloth could. Two hours ago, the latter spotted the monsters, saw everything clearly, and knew he was unable to stop them alone.
"Sorry kid, but you can't blame me for this," he hurriedly contacted the retreating master group, asking them to divide themselves into two parts. One would go back and get the army back, while the other would come back and help him in stopping these monsters.
These high-end masters were moving much faster than monsters, but that didn't help them this time. The time they spent to cross the large distance made them too far from Sloth's and William's location. And they'd need more than two hours to come back.
"Tsk! I'll try to delay them then," Sloth was about to move when he felt something trembling, coming from the direction of the sky.
When he shifted his spirit sense towards the source, he was surprised to see William detonating the mountain using his arrows and grenades.
He just did this for a dozen times then stopped. "Is he trying to send me a message or something? Does he know I'm here?!" Sloth was surprised by this, yet this was indeed the case.
