Chapter 888 Winning The War
Masters didn't come here for loot, but to exert revenge. And revenge was always one of the reasons to push anyone beyond their limits.
William watched how these dark masters tried to run, tried to regroup and fight back, yet all was futile. The masters were unstoppable, and as they spotted their archenemies, they turned into true monsters.
The situation was heading much better than what he initially expected. As for the racing up master armies from behind, they still needed an hour or two to arrive at the Black Holes region. Yet their high end masters could already see the amazing results Sloth's army brought.
The guesses and doubts they had about Sloth and his army proved to be true. And yet they weren't feeling any sadness or bad about it. If they felt anything, then it'd be pride, excitement, and envy.
They didn't know how Sloth did it. They saw how these shadows weren't killable, the best any could do was to shatter them, before they'd regenerate again.
Fighting against such an enemy was scary though, not to mention they never saw such an enemy before. Even so, Sloth learnt what to do to counter such an enemy and crush it.
They were all excited, and envious of Sloth. They knew after this war, the name of Sloth would rise to new heights, would be well known and heard of all over the world for a new and glorious reason.
They wanted such glory to be for themselves, but they'd never allow for such envy to stop them from taking advantage of the opportunity Sloth presented to them.
The Black Holes area was massive, and there were tons of dark masters and monsters out there to fight. Monsters that stood at the edge were now fighting in the heart of the zone, as the dark master leaders used everything in their possession to stop Sloth's army's crazy advance.
Sloth paved the way for them, for everyone here to win this war and crush their nemesis. And so they started to spread new orders: Go! Travel as fast as you can, and join the fray even if you came there alone!
Such orders looked very weird in the eyes of everyone, but once they arrived at the Black Holes area, they got why the leaders issued such orders before.
This wasn't a war, it wasn't even an easy battle… This was one sided massacre, and they were the one crushing it!
Gradually the number of masters inside the Black Holes increased and kept flourishing, pushed against their enemies without showing any mercy towards their enemies. Be it monsters, shadows, or dark masters; all fell under their attacks.
William's heart reached the stage which wouldn't accept anymore spirit power. So he had to withstand the damage coming from this spirit power, and luckily his torment didn't last for a couple of minutes.
The heart was already activated, working on full cylinders. It just needed a little bit of time to digest the spirit power inside, and then it started to madly absorb more.
With each time it experienced this, its capacity and ability to absorb and store spirit power increased. William estimated at first for him to spend a few days here before the entire shadows and the hostile formation out there would be destroyed.
But thanks to the massive increase in that formation's size, and the work of the entire dark masters to expand this formation, he spent a week there without any sign of the entire formation collapsing.
The dark master leaders picked the entire situation fast, knowing they were doomed if things kept heading down this path. So they had to buy themselves a little time, ordering their dummies to work again and expand this formation.
The incoming grand master armies were able to crush anything in their path, but the shadows still proved to be handy. If they couldn't kill them, they at least could delay their advance, buying enough time for the dark master leaders to retreat deep within the entire area, looking for a way out.
William was sure there were portals hidden somewhere in the region, enabling these leaders to escape. This was something running in their blood, being cowards and their nature to lean towards escaping any unfavourable battle instead of fighting to change it.
So it was widely known as a fact that once you got the upper hand over these dark masters, you wouldn't face a challenge or a risk in losing it again.
William knew they were going to win this war, but it'd take longer to do so. He didn't complain about this, after all the fire at the mountain's body was still raging wild even after the passage of a week!
He was entrapped here, and he'd not say no to a chance in raising the amount of stored spirit power inside the heart. Even if the dark master leaders thought they were tricking the masters by what their minions were doing, William was going to be the big winner in the end from all this.
At some point, his team and friends weren't needed to remain behind anymore. The formation they were activating got enough spirit power to run on its own. And so he asked Sloth to bring them in, and asked him to deliver them a simple message: Do like always!
Sloth didn't get his point at first, but soon enough he realised what William meant. The moment his friends and team appeared in the war and they started to act like how proper scavengers were!
They looted rings and gears from the dead dark masters, grabbed any monster and cut it open, and collected all the materials they could find. They didn't even hesitate to collect loot from the dead masters on their side.
