From the first mont she spotted him, and William always loved to leave everyone behind and move towards the outside, adventuring alone.
William was already running fast towards the trench. He didn't move until the masters started using their ice elents, turning the entire trench into a frozen lake or sothing.
William was fast, and Charley was just tagging along. As he arrived there, he didn't hesitate to use a wind technique, letting Charley also use it.
The two passed over the frozen water surface like they were gliding on it. At the sa ti, the high-end masters were also passing over the frozen zone. It was weird seeing William and Charley move towards the totally opposite direction than them.
Before anyone would say anything, William landed in the middle of a group of hounds, took grenades out, and released them as if he was distributing Christmas gifts.
*Rumble!* *Rumble!* *Rumble!*
William only needed to make a path for him and Charley to pass through. Trying to fight these monsters was a suicidal attempt in everyone's eyes.
"This youth… He is indeed quite explosive and resourceful," Zin couldn't help but admire William more, turned towards Stark who was moving next to him, "do you know why he is taking such a risk?"
"I… I can't say I do really understand this kid," Stark sighed, "since the first ti I t him, and he kept using unorthodox thods to pull miraculous feats."
"Interesting," Zin returned to watch what William was doing, like everyone else in the city. William kept releasing his grenades while pushing the hounds and any other monster away from his path. With each wave of explosions, he was able to cross a distance of a kilotre or so without getting stopped.
Everyone thought William was trying to pass the deadly zone of hounds before heading towards other monsters to take them down. They thought William wanted to halt the advance of other monsters, giving them the chance to kill the hounds first.
Of course, this looked like an absurd plan in their eyes, especially when William just moved solo when he could bring an army with him to do so. And soon enough they realised they mistook William's intentions.
The latter didn't stop after passing through the hound tight circle. The only thing that changed was for him to stop using his precious grenades and switched this with his techniques. He and Charley kept flashing at high speed, hitting monsters while advancing steadily towards the horizon.
"This youth… He must have a purpose in doing so," after an hour or so, William finally got away from the spirit sense coverage of Zin and other high-end masters. William crossed tens of kilotres distance by now and was constantly consuming elixirs to replenish his spirit power or keep Charley working.
He never paused or changed route, kept running towards a certain direction. "Do you know if there is any significant place that lies in that direction?" as they were all new here, the masters turned to Stark and other city masters.
"Well… I can't think of anything else but the Sky Pillars," Stark paused for a mont before adding, "but it's just a large piece of land filled with huge mountains and tough terrain. Aside from that, there is nothing else…"
Stark was feeling puzzled, the sa as everyone else. But that made Zin's eyes shine brightly in weird excitent. "Let go and see what this youth wants to do."
"Right now?!!!" Even Lara couldn't help but feel shocked by what Zin said.
"Don't worry, I can see our beloved city rising up from the ash and surviving this," Zin said what others here felt, "and as William decided to leave, it ans he is very confident in that toxin ability. Let's believe in him, and I know missing an old man like won't make a big difference."
Just like William, Zin also moved fast. Yet unlike William, he didn't need to walk through the hounds, and simply floated on top of their heads using his scary level of spirit power.
As for William, he was now running as fast as he could with Charley. The mont he passed through the hounds, he felt the pressure over him greatly lessened.
As he ran forward, he kept killing any monster he'd find. Soon enough he started to et up with monsters that didn't get affected with his toxin. And that made him focus on the leopards, evading all the annoying turtles.
[Go west, at least for two hundred kilotres. You'll find a gathering of towering mountain peaks there, head towards them…]
As he started running and fighting, the voice of Ibra rang in his mind for the third ti in a row.
"Co on! Who told you before I'm that lousy and always get lost?!!" William couldn't take it anymore, blurted back at Ibra.
[Hahahaha! Don't imagine I'd leave such a chance to slip by, hahahaha!] Ibra was having fun, but William returned to stressing over him to keep an eye over the area around.
[Don't worry, I got everything under control]
"I'm just saying that the fate of this monster tide will be decided in the next ten hours. So, make sure you won't lose any of them."
[I won't! Just hurry up and bring your fat butt over here]
"Remind to punch you on the face once we are done from all this."
[Who is the madman to remind a fox of sothing like this? No way! I'll keep moving away from you for days until you forget about all of this!]
"Keep dreaming," William laughed, returning to his hectic run and fight. From far behind, Zin already caught up fast and kept a close eye over William. He noticed what the latter did, speaking through a ssage Paper. And that made Zin more confident in his earlier guess.
He got the impression that William was acting like a seasoned master. And such a figure wouldn't go and leave a crucial war like this without a good reason.
