BXBX NOVEL Chapter 921 Using One Tail Form
The dark leaders watching this from afar went mad! They realised how grave their mistake was, underestimating William and focusing mainly on Sloth and others. Yet even if they regretted that, they got nothing in their power to do.
The monsters they summoned to deal with him were facing a hard time dealing with this fire. This wasn't a normal fire, as it was created by three different sources, one of which was quite scary and deadly. Even after the passage of an hour, explosions were still happening from the vibrant ores, ending up releasing more fire.
This made the task of these monsters much harder. William didn't care about any of that and kept doing his task diligently.
Sloth and others were watching William all this time and saw what he was doing. When he released fire, they knew he was determined to do whatever he was doing back there.
They wanted to go and help, but Sloth stressed over them to stick to the plan. They got their role to do, and they got to trust William.
If he knew anything for certainty about this youngster then it would be that he wouldn't take the initiative to do something without absolute confidence in executing it, without losing his life in the process.
William knew he was closely watched, by allies and enemies alike. He was sure the dark leaders were going mad right now, feeling their connection with more gates getting severed, and yet they couldn't do anything to stop him.
As for Sloth and others, he trusted they were mature enough to know what was far more important right now. Laying down this formation was much more important than coming here and saving a single master's life.
*Roar!*
Yet Wiliam finally hit the hard and cold wall. The two monstrous weapons bought him barely half an hour before they both got thrown away by the increasing number of scary monsters.
Even if they were weak and exhausted, terribly wounded, they were still strong. William didn't delude himself, didn't think his two monstrous weapons could kill all of these monsters. So the moment they got thrown away by fierce hits, he summoned them back, looking at the gates he sealed in satisfaction.
"Severing the connection with seventy percent is enough," he nodded before looking at the large number of monsters coming his way, towards the raging sea of fire that kept burning blazingly and fiercely, filling the world around without showing a single safe path outside, "let me show you how you can bypass fire."
He randomly selected one direction and dashed towards it. As he was moving too fast, he changed his form. Instead of having four tails, he replaced this with just one.
He intended to use a single element this time. To maximise this element's effect, he had to shift from the four-tail form into the single-tail version.
And the element he decided to use was the Earth element! He planned to do this from the start, filling the entire surface with fire, while running away safely underground by building up tunnels!
The moment he arrived near the edge of the fiery region, he felt the hot wind hitting his face. He knew if he continued forward, he'd end up suffering lots of damage. And so he activated the earth techniques, creating a narrow tunnel under the ground, one that was only enough for him to go inside.
If he risked it and made a much wider tunnel, then monsters running after him would follow. The moment he went inside, he released part of his flying weapons, infused them with his earth element, and let them dig as well.
The soil and rocks all around him were very hot, dyed red from the intense heat that came from the surface. And yet he kept digging, going deeper and deeper, heading away from the reach of the heat and fire.
From behind, he could hear the angry roars of the monsters. Many didn't have the Earth element, but few did. And those started to copy him, digging tunnels as well, and followed him.
But as they got much bigger bodies than him, they got to take more time in digging the tunnels. Not to mention the dark leaders controlling these monsters wanted all of them to go, so the tunnels had to be bigger and wider.
The moment William went underground, he escaped the reach of the spirit senses of those watching him. They needed to exert more power to try and follow his actions inside the tunnel. And when they tried to do this, they were shocked by the fact that there was more than one tunnel down there!
There were three, and then at some point, each tunnel of these would change into three again! William was simply using his two monstrous weapons to pull such a trick. They were badly damaged, but not to the extent of being useless and powerless.
He let them dig the ground and create two more tunnels, before calling them back and resummoning them to dig two more tunnels. He kept doing this repeatedly, while making the tunnel he was digging personally twist right and left, and get covered by other new tunnels.
Like this, he didn't just bypass the deadly fire he released at the surface, but also escaped the pursuit of the monsters coming from behind. Without the guidance of the dark leaders, these monsters had to work blindly, digging deeper and deeper, without knowing where they should go.
The heat was already relieved after a few minutes of digging toward the depths of the ground. Once that happened, William started to work horizontally, heading towards the space that was beyond the reach of the deadly fire.
As he kept doing this, he knew he lacked guidance thanks to his spirit sense limitation. Such a thing was a double-edged weapon for him. And yet he didn't care that much.
