Chapter 1284: The Situation Escalated Fast
"Yeah, it must be," Fang looked around, "as if we are in a way better situation for things to turn ugly… Let's kill as much as possible before things turn south."
The two grasped William's intentions like other top masters perfectly right. William didn't know what Lingerie intended to do, but he was sure of something… She was going to do something that'd change the entire situation.
Just as he was fighting, he kept an eye over her. She didn't delay in making her move, and out of any expectations he had, she turned around and walked away from his direction.
"What do you plan to do?!" William thought she'd go to take care of him, or the den, or even lead her elite guards and go all the way to the forefront and kill his side.
Handling the den or even taking it back would have been the best move to stabilise her side. As for going to kill his masters, it'd be enough to force his hands to retreat and give up on any advantage he got here.
Instead, she didn't do any of that and went in a different direction. And soon enough, he could tell where she was heading towards.
"The portal?!!" William muttered these words faintly and in pure puzzlement, before a scary answer popped up in his mind. "No way!" Once he realised what she was after, he couldn't help but feel threatened!
"You have no say in this," Lingerie stopped just a few metres away from the portal, with her back turned towards William's direction. She slowly turned her head, showing an evil smirk on her face, "you did great, but missed this little part kiddo. Fixing the portal is way easier from here than out there!"
Her soft words landed in William's ears like claps of thunder. That confirmed the worst scenario his mind jumped towards. She planned to fix the portal from this side. And William knew what she just said was true.
The portal had two sides, but it was way easier to fix the damage caused to it from the side the damage landed at in the first place. So doing it from here meant she could return to the portal working again.
If she was a normal master from the outer world, William wouldn't have felt such worry. But she was the leader of the palace, and she came here fully prepared and knowing everything related to this portal.
William knew she got him best this time. There was no need to even consider if she got the right material to do the task. He was pretty sure her rings were filled to the brim with tons of materials.
"Ok, if you want to play like this, then let me accompany you," William's look of worry changed from his face to be replaced with another fierce look. He didn't hesitate and dashed forward, ignoring the disarrayed masters around, heading straight towards one direction.
"Yes, come to mama, let me relieve that weight off your shoulders… What the fck?!!!"
Yet just as she was feeling like she got William where she wanted, luring him to attack her recklessly and alone, the latter proved to be a really troublesome foe!
William dashed first towards her direction, giving her the impression he was coming for her. Then all of sudden, he changed his trajectory, jumping higher and higher, as if he wanted to fly.
From her spot, she could easily sniff what he was aiming at. And when she realised that she couldn't help but feel much weirder about that.
"The Chimera… Don't tell me…" Just as William read through her plans, she also read through his. True enemies were the ones knowing oneself the best, that was indeed true here! Read new chapters at M V L
Once she realised what he planned to do, she couldn't help but inwardly curse. Without any hesitation she gave the order, a rally cry for all of her strongest and most experienced masters to drop what they were doing and flock to her direction in haste.
The best way to stop William was by directly targeting him. Yet for a reason she knew this wasn't going to work. After all, most of her strongest masters were far away from William and wouldn't reach him in time.
It was best to call them over her direction. Even if they were away from her, she was sure with her personal guard surrounding her right now, she could delay William enough for others to catch up to both of them.
"They won't make it in time," William could tell what she'd do in such a situation, "Listen up, push forward, kill everyone!"
This was the second time he shouted in this battle. And this time, he gave such a weird order for everyone. Only the top masters on his side knew that their deadliest foes, the ones who brought tons of trouble to them all this time, were retreating at the time being.
Without even William's shout, they'd plan to push forward and start a massacre. Even without the weakening formations, without the strongest powerhouses on the enemy side, the enemy was like swarms of weak fists that could crush with strong pressure.
William's shout wasn't meant to give Fang, Sloth, and others the order. He knew they were smart enough to grasp the change in the tide. He wanted to instigate hesitation inside Lingerie's spirit, ending up for her to not bring everyone to her side.
Even if he lured the remaining seven Chimeras over Lingerie's spot, he knew he'd be doomed if all the strong powerhouses came to her aid. Retreat wasn't an option, or else she'd have the chance to fix the portal and let tons of her masters come here non-stop, ending everything.
Retreat wasn't an option, so his only chance was in forcing Lingerie's hand. Yet she didn't fall into his trap!
"Hmph! That's a desperate attempt," she scoffed, "let all the masters here die, I'll just bring much more in no time to replace them!"
