BXBX NOVEL Chapter 117 This Is Our Target!
That meant only one thing; they were ordered to stand down and lay in wait. And there was a single person here who could issue such an order… The clan's old patriarch.
'Hope you can adapt fast and catch my moves early on,' William lamented in his heart, hoping that extra aid would be ready when time would come.
Depending just on this bunch of weak spirit masters to take down formidable monsters and change the outcome of this battle? Of course, William wasn't that delusional.
All he wanted to do was to create a commotion, enough to attract the attention of many big shots in the clan. Like this, they'd flock his way to help. And with them, everything would change drastically.
That was William's aim from the start. And that was why he tried to get more helping hands to make enough commotion, enough to be spotted by the big shots in the middle of all this mess.
Missing the chance to help would be a deadly strike to his plans. One way or another, William knew he'd get spotted by the two formidable forces on both warring sides.
The first to move and reach him first would claim the victory. Contemplating deeper about this, William decided to not just depend entirely on hope.
"I need something from you," as he knew the hour was drawing near, he leant and whispered in Berry's ears.
And when he finished what he said, Berry's face showed a troubled expression.
"I'll do it and come back here, got it?" she seemed to get a different idea from what William said. "Don't dare to leave without me, do you hear me?" And when William watched her briskly jump down the stairs at her fastest speed, he realised what went through her little mind.
'Silly girl! Did you think I sent you away to ensure your safety?' he could only shake his head and inwardly sigh.
Yet for a reason, something warm in his heart fluttered when he thought about such an idea. But soon enough, he shook such useless emotions aside for now.
The spirit master world wasn't that nice place to play romance, not in the middle of such a deadly battle.
This wasn't the time for that, and he wasn't the kind of man to focus on such things. He didn't get a second chance in life just to enjoy it. He had a grander goal, and all his efforts must lead towards achieving it.
"Can you tell us at least what we are waiting for?"
After half an hour, the young spirit masters here couldn't take it anymore.
The scenes happening in front of them were just too much for them to contain themselves out there without doing anything to help.
But they weren't asking to step in and help using their meagre spirit power and abilities. They started to trust William's words and promises and were believing in what he said the more time passed.
Yet that dude who wore porter clothes was just acting out of logic all the time! When they wanted to join the battle and leave the forging place, he insisted on them to work.
And when they came here to fight, he was the one to stop them again from joining the fight.
And that was on the premise of waiting for something they didn't know anything about.
Gradually they lost their cool and were on the verge of pleading with him to join the fight. But just before a single one of them would break down to such lousy state, William suddenly pointed his finger to the distance as he muttered:
"They are here!"
Just these three words and his simple action made everyone turn their heads and take a look at where he pointed at.
And there, they found something truly scary coming their way!
The outer region of the clan was a cleaned area of land. Yet beyond it, a large forest lied.
Even after all this fighting, the forest didn't show much signs of damage.
However, at this moment, and as they followed the direction William pointed towards, they could see lots of trees shaking vigorously before they slammed on either side and vanished from sight.
A growing wound in the heart of this great forest was forming in front of their eyes, and it kept expanding and drawing near their clan in a fast speed that defied logic.
With such a weird sight, a great cloud of dust started to rise. And the more frightening thing was that such a thing didn't just happen at one spot, but it happened at twenty others at the same time.
This sight… It was quite terrifying!
"Brother William… This…" just as Kong was lost in words, Berry finally arrived while panting.
"I delivered the… What the heck is that?!!"
With a jump in fright, she pointed towards the distance and pointed at the rising high thick dust clouds coming towards the clan and the grand twenty gaps in the middle of the forest that kept coming towards their direction.
It was like a tsunami wave was building up momentum and rising slowly to form the scary and gigantic waves of terror and death.
"Get ready," William steeled his heart and clenched his hands, "this is our target."
"..."
"What? Weren't you just on the verge of crying for not joining the fight? What the hell is wrong with you now?!!"
William's corner of mouth twitched while everyone didn't know what to say. They wanted to join the fight, but such crazy things coming in their direction were actually… their targets?
Dude… We are just white, bronzed, and silver spirit masters, not legendary figures! That was what everyone thought in their heads while meeting up William's gaze.
