Fang looked closely at that spot, but couldn't find any other traces of battle aside from that hole. In fact, he found the traces of the battle left by William to grow the most around that hole.
It felt as if William made a last stand there, and that didn't make any sense to him. He knew these monsters ca from underground. And that ant William decided to take shelter deep down, where the monsters took as their ho and playground.
"He isn't an earth based master, not primarily at least," Fang watched William fight before, and he was sure he was a lightning based master like himself. And that made him more puzzled and far more curious.
As the team progressed towards that hole, Fang also moved quite close. They progressed slowly amidst the swarms of monsters coming at them, and during this William was facing up sothing new.
As his friends were trying to find him, William started to notice sothing new. The first thing he noticed was the pulses that flashed between pyramids to show a slow and progressive change.
Instead of moving in between pyramids augnted by his arrays, they slowly started to send pulses elsewhere. At first, it ca as one pulse every ten minutes or so. Then slowly, he noticed the pulses as they started to happen once per couple minutes.
The first ti he noticed this he mistook this to be sent to another group of pyramids. His first guess was that as there was a link between pyramids in certain groups, there must be a similar connection between different groups.
But when he closely monitored this, he started to notice sothing different. "They are all converging in the sa direction… Right there!"
He noticed after an hour of monitoring this that these pulses were all heading from different groups, heading towards a certain direction. When he realised this, he started to look for where these pulses were heading. and there he found a surprise waiting for him.
"This… A hole? In here?!" he was surprised by this. The presence of the hole he found, one that spanned for tens of tres, wasn't a surprise as much as his inability to see it before using his spirit sense.
It didn't make any sense to him. He was sure he covered this spot before using his spirit sense, and yet he missed it. "Sothing slls fishy here," he muttered to himself, while getting all vigilant about this hole.
The hole wasn't just wide, it was deep. He couldn't get any view of its bottom, all he could see was blackness. He stood just a few tres off the edge, while a serious look was on his face.
"Sothing must have been down there, the portal didn't malfunction on its own as I suspected…" he started to deal with this whole presence with the most ominous possibility ever.
The mont this thought flashed through his mind, he summoned back all of his monstrous weapons. The twenty-two giant monster-like bodies appeared around him, forming an army.
"Charley, go down there and see what's hiding," Charley was his first creation, and yet after all this ti, and even after he rebuilt and repaired it many tis, it wasn't on par with the ones he recently made.
William watched his monstrous weapon descend slowly and cautiously. As there was a connection with Charley, he could see everything.
The first few monts, nothing happened. The hole was looking like a normal gap in the ground, with nothing but touch rocks. Yet soon enough, William could see sothing weird.
The hole was quite deep, and the deeper Charley went, the more William felt like sothing was interfering with his connection with Charley. "It's consuming my spirit power at an alarming rate… Interesting…" he muttered the mont he spotted the issue.
Using spirit sense never consud much spirit power. Yet this ti, it felt like he was in a battle, using his techniques non-stop.
He felt weird about the intervention with his connection with Charley, especially when he got the intuition that this wasn't caused by sothing at the hole, but from sothing in him. So the first thing he checked out of habit was his spirit power. And there he found it rapidly getting consud.
"Using elixirs won't do, it seems I need to use that array…" he didn't hesitate to gulp a few bottles of elixirs when he noticed this. But they didn't help much as his spirit power kept getting consud.
So he instantly gave the order, and his twenty-one monstrous weapons built arrays around him. One array wouldn't work fast to solve this problem, wouldn't be fast enough to work and supplent enough spirit power.
Yet with twenty-one arrays built on top of each other, this stopped to be a problem. He started to absorb spirit power madly, and the more ti passed, more spirit power gushed into his body.
Yet it felt like he was dealing with a black hole here. The increasing spirit power entering his body didn't help but to stabilise his spirit power level at forty percent.
"This hole… What the hell lives down there…" After a stressful twenty minutes, he still couldn't see a glimpse of what was down there. The deeper parts of the hole were all dark, and spirit power consumption was reaching scary and terrifying levels right now.
Yet he never ordered Charlie to co back. He felt he was so close to touching the truth about this hole. Not to ntion any idea of repairing the portal wouldn't work as long as this hole and what laid within persisted to be here.
As he expected, in the next ten minutes, his monstrous weapon finally reached the bottom. He couldn't feel what Charley was feeling right now, couldn't tell if Charley landed on flat ground or over sothing.
The area there was pitch black, with not a speck of light. "Let there be light," yet that wasn't a problem. Charley was a weapon that could use all his elents and techniques.
