Chapter 1197: Monsters Are Gone!
"No time for that," Fang had to select the hardest choice and dash as far as possible while carrying William on his back.
And then the balls that kept coming out from the dead monster's body started to weirdly buzz, before they started to collide against each other.
With each collision, thick tongues of lightning got emitted, dazzled and danced around, eroding and taking down anything that came on their path.
*Rumble!*
As he ran for a few seconds, a mighty rumble came from behind, forcing him to stop. "Yes, this bastard wanted to take down the entire continent back then," he already was feeling a cold touch down his spine, and yet he didn't lose his cool.
The moment that rumble came, and he started to deploy all the defensive techniques he was familiar with. He knew this was going to be a brief and yet life threatening battle against those black balls and berserk spirit power. So, he didn't hold back, and used everything he knew of.
The first thing he saw was a bright flash of light, as a massive ball of light appeared from the black balls. It kept growing, gulped all the remaining William's monstrous weapons, before finally releasing a mighty explosive power that took lots of pyramids around in no time.
Fang was spreading his spirit sense, and yet this was the first time since stepping onto the pinnacle stage to get his spirit sense destroyed and crushed against anything.
"Come on!" he didn't stop using his defensive techniques, even when everything around got blindly bright.
He kept William on his back for better protection. And all he thought about was William's team. Least to his knowledge that the team already sent Anjie out a few minutes ago, and what she saw made her feel danger.
"Retreat!" what Anjie saw made her climb up the tunnel and reach fast to her friends. She got selected as she was one of the strongest, and she wanted to be the first to go down and be by William's side other than other girls.
Anjie didn't even buy there was such danger to stop them from coming down. And yet when she saw the monster going berserk, about to detonate, she couldn't help but jump to the worst conclusion.
"What about William?" Berry screamed, but Anjie dragged her by the arm while shouting back:
"He has Fang, and the two are still fighting down there. We have to hurry, there are tons of monsters ahead to fight before going up to safety."
Yet against what she and others thought, there wasn't a single monster standing in their way. Monsters already felt the upcoming danger, and they all retreated away from here.
They cleared the path for the team to retreat all the way to the surface. And when they arrived there, everyone couldn't help but feel much worse about all this.
"Monsters never stopped coming at us at any place here before," Lara muttered, while looking at Anjie like the rest of the team, "what the hell is happening down there?"
"Told you already, I saw a giant black cloud shining brightly like it's going to explode," Anjie repeated her earlier words, "I felt real danger when I saw it. So, it's not safe, even monsters can tell that."
"It's not safe indeed," Lara looked at the direction of the stairs, "shall we go up there or what?"
"I say we go."
"If it's dangerous to force the monsters away, then we shall go out from here."
"My opinion as well."
Everyone started to state their opinions, and then they felt the ground trembling all of sudden.
"Let's go, there is no time to debate about this," as few, led by Berry, were arguing against leaving William behind, the sudden and fierce tremble forced them all to stop what they were doing.
"Follow me," Lara led everyone towards the nearby stairs, "William has Fang, and I can't believe these two together can't handle the situation down there and escape with their lives intact."
"Don't forget that William never went into anything without having plan B," Sara added while running alongside everyone else. Even if she and Lara said that, the two weren't any less worried over William. And yet they knew they had nothing in their power to help.
This time they were wrong. Things developed way out of what William expected. The core that he gained forced him to enter into slumber mode. And if not for Fang to be there, out of his plans, then things would have taken the wrong turn for him.
The rumble the team felt was just the beginning of much more to come. More trembling occurred thanks to the scary amount of spirit power released from that monster. And as the team went outside to safety, leaving the underground city behind, Fang was entrapped down there, fighting against the berserk spirit power explosion.
"Dammit! This monster was a freak!" At this point, Fang couldn't help but think about the case if that monster didn't get killed and lost its core.
Just the amount stored inside its body was scary enough to force him to use everything he got, and still he ended up having more wounds.
Yet all this didn't last for more than a couple of minutes. Even if they felt like an entire lifetime to Fang, it ended and nothing remained of that monster but shallow crater at the ground.
"Phew, it's over," when the spirit power vanished the same way it appeared, turning into wisps and then gone, Fang could finally heave a deep sigh of relief. He didn't feel his body crashing on the ground while panting heavily for breaths.
Things escalated to a threatening level, yet he and William managed to get past it.
"All this and only left such a shallow mark behind? What is this place?!" After a few minutes of resting and collecting himself, Fang finally moved. He kept William on his shoulder, while looking at the shallow crater left by that monster.
