William's heart clenched tightly when he heard such a piece of news, didn't say a single word, and led everyone out from the Lost City.
After many days, he finally got away from this place. And even if he managed to build up a scary weapon, even when he was travelling across thousands of masters, even close to ten thousand, he knew it was already too late.
"Keep fighting, I'm already in the city…" William said, but the weak breaths of Lara startled him, alongside a fierce explosion that seed to happen just next to her location.
[Sorry about that, I wanted to accompany you in adventuring outside…]
She coughed, and stopped what she was saying. And hearing that, hearing her last words, made William's body tremble.
He was already in the surface city. Yet what he expected happened. The streets were filled with lots of hostile masters, blocking their path forward for many blocks.
The masters on his side were fighting against others blocking their route. And so he knew no matter how he wished for, he wouldn't have the ability to save her.
"It's over… Sorry about that…" William could only resign and accept such bitter defeat. And before he'd think about what his choices were, sothing totally unexpected happened!
Lara was standing on the rooftop when she suffered a strong blow from a dark gold master. She rolled high in the air, fell on the ground, before hitting the side of the walls she created before.
The next thing she did was to try and stand up. She was in the middle of speaking to William when that hit landed. She lost William's ssage Paper, lost almost her strength and control over her power.
Yet she'd never accept falling down without putting up a fight, even if all she could muster right now was a useless and weak punch.
She struggled to stand up, while ten different masters were walking towards her. From the look on their faces, she knew she was dood, and they were celebrating her death already.
She turned her face around, tried to take a better and last look over the entire city, about her remaining forces led by Stark, struggling down there to do the impossible.
But when she did that, when she turned and looked around, she didn't see the ground, didn't see the trench, didn't see anything but an endless tsunami of masters marching and surrounding the arena.
"This… Who the hell are they?!!!" Lara spoke in a tone that forced the ten masters approaching her to stop. They exchanged looks, before they sent one of them to check over the situation.
And as Lara scread in panic and shock, that master also reacted the sa. Soon enough, every single one on the rooftop, be it an enemy or an ally, all stopped fighting and turned to look at the grand scene down below.
It was quite scary, seeing all these masters surrounding them made their scalps grow numb.
No one ever expected seeing such a scene, and no one ever heard or received an intel regarding the sudden appearance of such terrifying force.
If it was before, if it was when the city was in its pri status, with all the families and forces inside intact, then facing such an army was nothing.
But right now, everything was ruined. And the only explanation that ca into anyone's mind was for such force to co here from the outside.
Yet out there lots of forces were fighting. And it was impossible for such a sizable force to co here, slip their way in the middle of all these hectic battles without getting noticed.
Everyone exchanged glances, and at this mont killing Lara or keeping Lara's position as the family leader didn't matter… There was a new boss in the city, and this boss owned such a grand army.
[Boss, we finally arrived at the Spar Arena]
[We heard about the distressful ssage Lara sent to her n at the portal zone]
[We moved at once to help her, and right now we are surrounding the Spar Arena. But everything there is chaotic]
[We don't know who belonged to whom, and we can't see Lara anywhere]
[Give us your orders or co here to lead us. Tsk! You have the habit to vanish whenever it's a crucial mont, one that needs your presence, tsk!]
William was standing in front of the masters who blocked his path while receiving such voices directly in his head. He was stupefied, looking like he got struck by lightning or sothing.
The voices he heard were the voices of his vices. They ca back, and William couldn't believe they just arrived at such a mont.
"Lara, Lara, are you there? Just look outside, hurry! My team just arrived there to help. They aren't that much, around two hundred, but they are strong. Can you see them? Can you reach them?"
William was like a man who lost everything, to find out that there was still hope. Regaining hope again after despair was sothing that could give anyone the power to topple mountains and cross oceans.
William hurriedly grabbed the Bullet of Lara and spoke there. But to his bewildernt, he got nothing back. And his mind drifted back towards the worst.
[William, are you there?] Berry's voice ca and jolted him awake.
"Listen up, there is a great possibility that Lara died. If she is alive, then you'll find her at the top. Look for soone called Stark, let him try to reach her."
[What if she is… You know…] Sara paused, as she realised how their situation would be worse if Lara died right now.
They went each towards one region in the continent, and there they experienced how grand the Fox Guild na was. Once they ntioned their true identities, and they hear two things frequently, the grand purge war that happened five years ago, and the Fox guild brilliant products.
That helped them greatly in their tasks and managed to recruit hundreds of thousands of masters from various places of the continent.
