William saw each technique alone but never saw such a combo before.
"Going all out this ti? Sorry, but you'll fail!" Even before the three techniques would perfectly rge together, William sighed, and shook his head, as if he was soone who could see through the future or sothing.
"Shut up and watch how your beloved guild base will crumble on…"
*Puff!*
Just before he'd continued his words, the three terrifying techniques slamd fiercely against the shield once more, before finally evaporating like the first attack he used.
Sloth felt the shock of his life at this mont. He'd accept such a result if he was t with a scary enemy, one that was on par with or much stronger than him.
Settling with one failure? No way! This wasn't Sloth's nature. In the next few hours, he kept slamming against the shield of William's guild base, one ti after another, using different techniques and everything he had!
He even activated his spirit, used his strongest weapons, and tried to attack the shield with everything he had.
"Let give him a hand," at so point, Panther ca in with lots of old masters from the city and Lockheart. Even that sly old master ca as well, giving William a regretful look as if he missed recruiting a gem back then.
"Let help him as well," others laughed, joining Sloth in attacking the shield of the guild's base. It was well known it was an impregnable shield, one that could stop a behemoth from getting in, stopping any master no matter how strong he or she was.
Seeing many steps in, and nothing happened, made Sloth finally realise the bitter truth. After hours of butting his head against that shield, he finally resigned.
"I acknowledge my failure," he bitterly admitted, while feeling ashad for his failure.
"My friend from the capital, don't feel this dejected, hahaha! I already foresaw your loss, hahaha!" Panther patted over Sloth's shoulder, and yet his words never helped at all.
"What do you an?!!" Yet from the words of Panther, Sloth could find a clue or more. First, he knew that man was familiar with him, or else he wouldn't state the capital clearly in his words.
And then he ntioned sothing about foreseeing his loss, sothing that ant only one thing; this master here could see the future.
"He is Panther, the current head and leader of the city," William made the introduction on Panther's behalf, "As for Sloth… I do have the feeling you already know him, right?"
"I t him four decades ago," Panther nodded in agreent, "back then, I was still weak, just as the gold grade, and he was still at the sa scary level of power he had today, tsk!"
It felt like Panther was envious of Sloth or sothing, and that made the latter regain a bit of his dignity. "That's true, I kept my level of power for many decades, but…"
"I went there to train in the capital's famous red army," Panther explained everything to Sloth, and William knew that the master wasn't just the previous head of the Lockheart impact out of nothing.
He went out to venture into the world, and trained under the very best. In fact, Panther admitted that he tried many tis to train under Sloth, but the latter always acted cold and arrogantly towards him, refusing everything he did back then to let him train under him.
"Let's leave the kids alone," after speaking for a few minutes, and getting to know each other better, Panther suddenly proposed, "William is known to have his own ways, different and unique ones, to do things. So let him do what he ca here for. I'm sure he is here for sothing important… That reminds … The old thing you asked to search for, we finally got a lead on it a few months ago, but couldn't get any lead on your location to deliver the news."
"Old thing…" William was lost in thoughts for a few seconds before all of a sudden his body boiled with rage and will to fight. His body didn't change to his spirit body form, but it emitted copious amounts of spirit power, enough to give anyone the impression he was activating it, "Are you sure you got a lead on them at last?"
He said it in a tone that told Sloth and Anjie how dead serious and enraged he was. The two looked at each other, then at William, then lastly at Panther.
"I got a vision," Panther nodded, "there is a way to go to where they are, big statues, speaking in weird tones, right?" Panther tried to make sure what he saw was true, and William slowly nodded to confirm his doubts.
"We have a window to access their location, every ti the moon is full in the sky, we can have a way in," Panther raised his head towards the sky before adding, "The moon just turned full a few days ago, so we need to wait for forty days or so…"
"I'm not in a hurry to leave," William interrupted Panther, speaking in a heavy tone, "make your preparations. My guild mbers are all away for training."
"I got the news," Panther nodded, yet he seed a bit hesitant about sothing.
"It's going to be nasty, right?" William guessed what troubled such a strong master, and Panther sighed.
"Lots of good people will die," he paused, turned to Sloth and Anjie, turned to everyone around him, "that fight… It's going way much worse than what you can possibly imagine."
"What did you see?"
"Nothing much actually, just our way in, then everything going bad from that mont onward…" he paused as if he was finding it hard to recall what he saw using his unique spirit elent, "I tried many tis to see more but failed. All I can see is just pieces and bits of everything, nothing that could be useful…"
"Let's et in one month then," William felt there was sothing amiss here.
