Chapter 1190: Come, A Tasty Human Is Here
What made this more problematic was the fact that the old arrays that solved the problem of spirit power absorption got ruined by the monster. Even if the monster was in a weakened state, William still lost ten percent of his spirit power once per few seconds.
He solved this issue momentarily by consuming elixirs. Yet that wasn't going to solve this problem for long. And that forced him to take out five more monstrous weapons and let them make arrays again. Yet this time, he had to build three types of arrays, and that was going to take time.
"Stop it! Use everything you have to delay it!" William knew the monster would keep targeting him if he didn't find another way to delay and keep it busy.
And that answer lay in the hands of Fang, as he was the only one able to attack the monster from his position without getting into any risk.
"I'm showering it with everything I got," Fang's voice rang in William's mind the next second, "you need to keep moving."
"I can't," William shouted back as he had no other option here. Trying to run away was going to deplete more of his spirit power, and his elixirs wouldn't be enough to help at some point.
His only hope to stop the monster didn't work, and he could already imagine what was going to happen next. William prepared himself for the next attack which came swiftly in a few seconds, and this time he made sure to take back all the monstrous weapons he deployed before the monster would hit.
He had to dash out again, and he suffered another blow to his spirit power. "This can't go on," William gritted his teeth, and decided to do something crazy, "scatter, two in one team, go!"
He took out all of his monstrous weapons, except for four, and scattered them all over the place.
Six groups of monstrous weapons dashed all over the place, all moving away from him and the monster. "Come, a tasty human is here," as he took such a risk, he followed by taunting the monster, even showing off his body by jumping and literally dancing. Doing this made him look weird even in the eyes of Fang, yet that didn't matter to William.
The latter wanted to distract the monster away from his monstrous weapons, and he succeeded. The monster started to come at him, one time after another, missing him every single time.
"I need to endure a bit further," William was stressed like never before since coming back to this world. He was now focusing everything over avoiding the incoming monster, and kept an eye over the monstrous weapons. He needed to spare part of his spirit sense and focus to control the monstrous weapons, letting them build as many arrays as possible.
He threw rings randomly over to them, without having time to properly inspect any of their content. He just took materials in batches and scattered them along the rings. And that made any of these weapons' loss would be grave loss for him.
He was going all out, risking everything on the line. At the same time, Fang never spared himself in the past twenty minutes, kept releasing his lightning in torrents, trying to stop the monster.
Even if the monster showed signs of getting affected, roaring from time to time in pain, even the black cloud showed faint white cracks that never healed, the monster never showed a sign to slow down or get weakened.
Even when thirty minutes passed, and the supposed time for it to go into slumber was crossed. "Dammit! Why the heck isn't that bastard going to sleep?!!" William has already passed his limits here. Trying to do all this while his spirit power was on the constant decline was like fighting a losing battle.
"It must be burning its spirit essence," Fang's voice rang in William's mind, "get ready, will switch formations in any given minute now."
"Do it," William looked away in one direction, "it's time for me to start helping you as well. Let's get this monster down together."
"Finally about to move? I thought you were taking me as your slave or something," Fang laughed, and William didn't even smile.
Even if Fang was right, William was the one taking all the pressure on the frontline, keeping that monster busy. Or else Fang alone would have zero chance at taking this monster down.
William knew what Fang guessed was correct, this monster was burning his spirit essence to keep itself awakened and strong. That meant it was able to fight like this on top shape for hours, yet it also meant it had weak control over its abilities and powers.
Even if the monster didn't show any sign for that before, William was sure it would soon enough. All he needed to do now was add a little more pressure over this monster, and it'd crumble to pieces in no time.
That was why he decided to stop what his monstrous weapons were doing, and start to move all of them to stand at the nearest set of arrays. It was a tricky situation now, and there was no room for any mistakes.
That was why he didn't move right away, and took the monster around in another tour. When the lightning stopped landing over the monster, William could tell it got much faster and a bit stronger, yet that didn't even alarm him.
"Ready old man?" William gritted on his teeth while trying his best to sync drinking elixirs and properly time his dashes and his trajectory.
"Let's go on a second round," Fang paused, "I just can't see my lightning affecting this bastard."
"Just hit it," William was ready to move as well, "let's put more pressure at it. I'll change location now, keep up."
Fang wanted to curse, as William acted with him as if he was a little kid or something. He was able to follow that monster from earlier, and he didn't have any doubt he wouldn't be able to do it again.
