Chapter 268 A Hole Filled With Snakes!
"Watch out where you land," Sara got more experience than the other five vice leaders of the team, more than most of the team members, "don't fall over a sharp rock or lose your balance! Make sure you land straight, ready to evade anything coming, ready to start killing this son of b*tch."
"Leave that damn tail to me," Ibra added, "I'll make sure it won't hit anyone before finally chopping it."
"Good, let's start then," William wanted to get rid of this monster yesterday rather than today. But he had to withstand all this time to see what type of spirit masters he managed to group together under his team's banner.
And from just this stressful situation and their responses, he knew he got lucky to have such good spirit masters in the team.
Even when they argued and voted on their decision, many showed their discontent to take the easy path out, sacrificing those who were weaker to let the strong survive.
And those who were weak wanted to sacrifice themselves to save the rest.
William was truly impressed by these white grade kids. Even if they were quite young, pretty much weak, and very inexperienced, they were very courageous and decided to sacrifice themselves for others to live.
And that move, that decision, no matter how one looked at it, was something quite admirable.
William knew strength wasn't a big issue. Giving these kids enough time to grow up, they'd become strong and capable spirit masters.
But morale couldn't be acquired by getting older. One was born and raised to be a good person, or an evil spirited dude.
"Now!" Ibra's shout distracted William from his thoughts. And the next thing he heard were the sounds of many things happening behind him.
Many techniques were used, forming tons of sharp looking spears, arrows, daggers, and even needles. There was fire, earth, water, and even wind elements used right now from many of the team members.
Even those without any suitable technique or element started to throw off their weapons, aiming to help in a way or another.
"Release hell and jump to heavens!" Ibra shouted with such a weird slogan, before William felt the ground underneath his legs tremble.
"Screw you!" William got fed up with this monster a long time ago. Yet he didn't dare to let go of his stance for the reasons he thought about before.
Yet right now there was no need for him to suffer anymore. The moment the attacks landed, he also jumped in the air, getting pushed back by the huge power coming from the monster's mouth part, throwing his body back for tens of metres like a cannonball.
That didn't prevent William from retaliating. He used this brief instant when the monster had to recall its part back at last, after getting rid of William's annoyance, took out his knives, and let them do their magic.
Twelve knives appeared at this moment, got inserted deeply into the monster's body, the weird looking circular mouth, and even penetrated in that tightly shut opening.
As William's body got thrown in the air, he finally got to get a glimpse of what was going around.
The attacks all landed in the ground, and William could see small portions of the spears and long shaped knives and needles which were inserted deeply in the ground.
The ground didn't look the same. It was filled with many cracks, and started to fall apart into pieces as if it was collapsing. And it truly was!
In the air, he spotted all of his team members jumping in different altitudes, while each one was taking out their weapons, ready to jump at that monster down below once they'd landed.
*Rumble!*
Then the ground shook and rumbled, releasing many pillars of dust as the ground fell for many metres down. William passed over this region fast, before finally rolling on the ground, smashing many tugs and plants, ending up fiercely stopping by slamming his back at one big tree.
He felt immense pain at his back and body, yet that didn't prevent him from slowly standing up, checking the result of what happened.
The moment the ground rumbled, fell for a few metres down, and released dust pillars up, the real body of that monster appeared.
It was just like what those who were familiar with this kind of monster knew of. The area of almost fifty metres radius caved in, forming a new hole in the ground.
Down that hole, the ground got filled with pale yellow scales, brown fluid that gushed out from the large number of rocks and dirt that covered most of that monster's body.
This was its blood, and the many weapons and techniques that the team launched managed to find their way towards that monster's body.
Even the ones that missed the outer layer got deeper and hit the parts that lied down below.
"Brace yourselves!" Peter shouted as they started to fall one by one towards the bottom of this hole.
The monster's body was like a giant snake, cylindrical in shape, covered with scales like it was a baby dragon or something.
Just before they'd landed, the monster started to move, and they all saw the ground swirling and changing, appearing like it was made of thousands of snakes.
The rocks that were impeded between the monster's parts started to shift and change, get crushed or sank down even deeper. More of the monster body started to appear, and that brown fluid kept gushing out like small fountains of water.
The part William hit using his knives didn't get chopped off completely. William knew that as he didn't get enough time to control his knives properly.
