Chapter 571 Finding Something Weird
So William kept dashing in semi-circular paths, luring the monsters gradually away from the stairs. Then when he stacked his attacks for twenty times, he moved his sword, dashed fast towards the group of hundreds of these monsters, before landing a hit fiercely on the ground.
*Rumble!*
The ground shook violently while a deep crater appeared. This was always something that came as a default with his technique. As he stacked lots of attacks together, the crater was tens of metres deep, not exceeding fifty metres at most.
In the middle of this loud rumble, William could hear loud screeching noises coming from all around. Dust was already flying all over the place, blocking his eyes from seeing through.
But he was sure these monsters got hit, and it was his chance now to run away.
He didn\'t hold back his technique, dashed for hundreds of metres in each second. He was around one and half kilometre away from the stairs, a distance that he could cross in just twenty seconds or so.
William flashed fast, not caring about anything else but to reach the top. During this, the sounds of this battle attracted the attention of anyone inside the Lost City.
Those who were inside were all dark gold grade masters. So, they released their spirit sense and started to see something they never dreamt about before.
They saw a grand fox with three tails running and dared to fight the scary hidden creatures they all feared. Without the need to think much about it, they knew this was the rumoured Fox master who was living in the Scorching Lands city far from here.
Few also heard about what William did back at the Spar Arena, informing others using spirit telepathy about this. Learning about William\'s identity made them sigh in regret. The fate of William was already guessed by everyone watching. Even few were this close from cancelling their spirit senses, consider this one unlucky master who got a bad day.
pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ In their eyes, such a capable and talented young master was going to fall here, and there wasn\'t anything in anyone\'s power to intervene and save him.
Then William landed his brutal attack, releasing a mighty explosion that enveloped hundreds of metres around. As the dust cloud appeared, it masked their senses for a little. But they could clearly see lots of giant bodies getting screwed and burnt, while William stood in the middle of a deep crater.
This came as a shocking discovery for all of them. No one ever managed to land a hit over these scary creatures, or even get this close from unveiling the mystery behind them.
And right now, this sixteen-year-old youth just hit, wounded, and even killed those scary creatures. On top of that, he also revealed the real shape of them for the first time ever.
They were giant monsters hidden deep underground. Seeing this made many ideas run wild in their minds. However, what happened next came out of their craziest expectations.
William once landed his attack, wanted to retreat, run away towards the safe zone of the stairs. It was a logical move in the eyes of everyone. But William got surrounded faster than his expectations.
"Sh*t! I can\'t even get closer!" Just when he climbed out of the deep crater he created, he noticed a large number of floating bubbles coming at him from all directions.
He thought such an attack would clear lots of obstacles for him, enough to reach the stairs. But he wouldn\'t be able to make it. "Screw this!" as he saw this, he didn\'t hesitate to start dashing around, stacking more attacks again.
If one hit wasn\'t enough, then two would do. If two weren\'t enough, then ten would do. He decided to keep going like this until he\'d clear enough of monsters, then make a run for his life.
He stacked attacks under the watchful gazes of the master in the city. During which, more monsters kept coming, limiting his movement by a lot.
He wanted to land a hit just a hundred metres away from this crater. He wanted to crawl his way towards the stairs using his technique. But as he got delayed for a few seconds when he climbed the crater up, he couldn\'t stack enough attack without getting totally surrounded.
"I\'ll hit it here again, then will make a run while stacking my attacks," he didn\'t fret, simply jumped back into the crater, before releasing his second deadly attack.
When everyone watching expected him to move fast again, the thing that William planned to do, the latter didn\'t move a muscle.
In that deep crater, William stood while the dust blocked his eyes. He didn\'t get the spirit sense to see through such a thick bellow of dust. But he was sure lots of monsters got killed and severely wounded.
Per plan, William would follow such an attack with the preparation of another. In another time, he\'d at least flash around, kill all the wounded monsters that survived the previous hit, collect their cores, before starting to prepare for another attack.
Yet he didn\'t do either what he planned or what he used to do. He even didn\'t try to move out and make a run for the stairs again. In fact, he stood in his place while his eyes were fixed on something just below his feet.
"This land is specially enforced by something…" this was the first thing he muttered. From his attacks, from stacking twenty attacks together, he knew a hole that would be around one hundred and fifty metres at least would be formed. But this one here barely reached one hundred metres in depth, or even less than that. And that was the effect of two attacks hitting the same spot.
That wasn\'t the thing that made him freeze in his place, that weird bright brown leaf did. It was a long leaf, one that was formed of a thick branch, with lots of small branches and heart shaped leaves coming out from it.
