BXBX NOVEL Chapter 979 Run For Your Lives! It's Coming!
As for the bear monster, it was inside that giant thing lying down below. "Gather up everyone," William seriously said, "we are going to repeat what we did."
"Again?!!" Everyone looked at William as if they were looking at a madman, "can\'t you see? This isn\'t something we can come close to! We need to retreat…"
"This is just an outer shell," William interrupted one of the old masters\' words, "and the real monster is huge indeed, but it isn\'t that colossal. So gather up everyone, we are going to do it again and again until it gets severely damaged."
"And then what? Won\'t we kill it?" another master said, and William looked at Sloth as if he was telling him that such little tricks wouldn\'t work on him.
He already told Sloth everything, and Sloth had this habit to share what he learnt with his friends. "We\'ll do something else," William mysteriously said, "but leave it for later. When the time is right, I\'ll tell you what to do."
He didn\'t care about any of the masters now, focused solely on the monster hiding inside that massive shell. He tried to see through the deep gaps in that shell, but couldn\'t see anything but pitch darkness.
Then all of sudden, he raised his thumb up, and made a move across his throat, threatening that monster it was going to die on his hands. The moment he did that, everyone could feel the shield trembling while the massive body down below shook violently and frequently for a few times.
This made the already healing wounds open up again, and yet the gaps weren\'t enough for William to see anything through. "Enjoy your stay down there, and I\'ll make sure to come and kill you soon enough," he said in a low tone voice, but for a reason, he felt like the monster could perfectly hear and understand him.
"Are you ready?" In the next half an hour, Sloth and others brought everyone out of the caves. They just left the Earth-based masters to make new caves and tunnel systems, this time close to where they were.
They didn\'t want anything surprising to happen like last time. And old masters already spoke with the ones making these underground structures, asking them to fortify everything with all their might.
As everyone started to power up Lina\'s attacks, William waited on the side with his group of masters, waiting for the right moment to intervene.
Once the shield was on the verge of collapsing, he gathered everyone\'s techniques and finally released them over the broken shield. Then he moved away with everyone else, heading into the nearby tunnels.
This time everyone went inside before the technique would unleash its full might before the shield would respawn again. And like before, they waited inside the caves until the monster managed to break the shield, releasing the technique, and returned inside the newly formed shield to heal and hide.
There was no way for it to run at. This monster was intelligent already, realising that running away from this hole was going to end its life much faster. Its only hope now was to buy more time until its master would show up and help.
William could guess the monster\'s thoughts, and that was why he decided to keep hammering the shield and it with his technique without mercy. The moment the technique faded, he\'d come out and start doing all this again with everyone.
Yet at the fifth attempt, something new happened!
"Watch out! It\'s coming!" Just when William hovered on top of the hole, he suddenly shouted. The shield was down, and the monster\'s shell was now filled with tons of wounds and gaps. As he moved over the hole, all he could see was a massive scarlet red behemoth filling all his vision, coming fast at him.
William didn\'t hesitate to shout in warning while releasing the technique he had. Even if the monster was trying to ambush the annoying master who kept torturing it four times already, William knew his technique was strong enough to push that monster back inside the hole.
Things turned out slightly differently. The technique did indeed push that monster down, but it took almost a minute for it to overcome the monster\'s brutal strength. William felt like every inch of his body was aching with immense pain, even his bones shattered in many places, broken severely from that temporary clash.
"Retreat!" Yet the moment the monster finally got into the hole, he dashed away and shouted. He endured tons of pain and kept moving fast using his technique one time after another. Things were quite hard for him to keep using his spirit power with all the damage he got. Even when he gulped two healing elixirs, he didn\'t feel any better.
He knew the monster dealt a severe blow to him, and luckily he emerged out of this with his life intact. Even with all these injuries, he considered himself extremely lucky.
Others didn\'t need him to shout again, as they were already retreating away. Many entered the tunnels, while those up there noticed how terrible William looked.
"William!" Berry, Anjie, Lina, Sara, and the other girls screamed in panic. William didn\'t get why they shouted like this until he felt a fierce gust of wind coming at him from behind.
And when he looked back, all he could feel was for his heart to clench with a very cold hand. That monster didn\'t stay inside the hole after taking the hit, instead, it moved with all its might, aimed towards the master who caused all this trouble to him.
It was very adamant about taking William down, even if it meant he\'d take the toll of the attack outside the shield, even if he was going to lose the protection of that shield.
"Damn! Why are you following me? I\'m not that tasty, you do know that!"
