BXBX NOVEL Chapter 997 I Have A Way
Yet the man didn\'t do it, he borrowed the strength of the spirit backing him up and managed to sever such a connection between them and him.
"We learnt tons of things, but ended up with nothing…" Lara suddenly shouted in frustration, feeling rage like no one else was here. This was her home, her city, where her friends and family lived. She didn\'t like that someone was trying to damage it, didn\'t like that there was a great danger looming and coming towards her, and she did nothing in her power to stop it.
She thought by doing this she\'d learn tons of stuff about that man. She first didn\'t believe they could bypass and evade the brutal backlash power. And yet when nothing happened to them, her hopes skyrocketed, and started to look for anything that could explain what happened, for any method to use to protect her city.
She knew what happened, but didn\'t find any way to find that man. As she was stressed and pressured, William suddenly gave her hope, like always!
"Who said we can\'t find him?" William looked in a weird way towards her, and in return, she and everyone else looked back as if they didn\'t get what he was speaking about.
"You saw what we saw, right? The same thing I mean," Sara pointed at the air as if she was referring to the fate and destiny world, "there isn\'t a single useful thing we got…"
"There are those five traitors," William icily said, "they got crystals from that man, the same as the one he used to open that portal."
"Do you mean…" Lara beamed with a smile, one that was filled with tons of expectation and hope.
"That\'s right, we can use these crystals and head directly toward that man\'s place… However… I believe there is a catch…"
"What do you mean?" William would never mention anything casually. If he said there was a catch, then it must be something horrifyingly huge and bad.
"That man… You saw that weird star speaking to him, ordering him to accelerate things and take down the city."
"And?" William didn\'t explain everything in one go but started to slowly tell them what they missed.
That man got ordered to use all of his power to take the city down. The man alone was weak, but somehow he got blessed with an immense amount of power and weird ability from that spirit calling himself a god.
William was sure the spirit was referring to the crystals he gave to the five traitors. These crystals seemed to need a long time to recharge, and that was what William got at first when he heard what the man muttered before leaving the city.
But now he knew this wasn\'t the case. They were active, but they got little power stored inside to release enough monsters out. William was now aware of the way this managed to gather such a grand number of ferocious monsters to attack the city.
He guessed it, and his guess was right on the spot. The crystals would release that red fog, and like how they witnessed the man making up stuff, the fog could make monsters out of thin air!
But there seemed to be some sort of a limitation to that, which was the amount of power stored within the crystals. This was a point that William didn\'t get an answer to, didn\'t know if the crystals were absorbing and gathering up spirit power or something else.
If it was spirit power, then there was no point in waiting like that. The man could just lay down a grand spirit power-gathering formation, and through this, he could fuel up all the crystals he wanted.
"If it\'s not spirit power, then what is it?" he kept asking himself that, feeling like he missed something in the middle of all this.
Yet he explained what he knew to his friends, aside from the fact that god was fake, and was just a mere spirit working for the Chaos faction.
"So… You are trying to say that once we crush those crystals, monsters will appear?" Lara asked, before adding, "That\'s not a problem! We crushed a single tide already, and can stop a hundred like them! Not to mention this time we are going to take part in this…"
"That\'s not my point," William corrected her, "I mean these crystals can bring forth tons of monsters like you said. The monster tide the city crushed came just from one crystal, and we have five. Not to mention there is a high chance that these traitors would activate the crystals, crushing them, while we are trying to capture them…"
"You are fearing they\'ll release the monsters inside the city directly?!!" her face dropped when she got what he truly meant. If that was the case, then things were going to end badly for the city.
Even if they had enough masters to stop this monster invasion, even if they won, in the end, it\'d be a bitter win.
"We need to do it discreetly then," Anjie interfered. She didn\'t like Lara but hated the man who was trying to bring destruction to this city.
She knew this city was going to be the crown jewel of the kingdom. Not to mention it was close to the Scorching Lands city, close to the capital. If it fell, there was no guarantee such a scheme wouldn\'t get repeated in other places. And frankly put, she knew no one could stop such a man if he set his eyes over any city.
"That\'s given," William nodded, stressing over this point, "assemble the leaders you only trust and tell them about what we found. They need to separate these five, and move them outside the city, before attacking and getting their belongings. Make sure to do it quickly, as there is a chance that man would activate the crystals from far away."
