Chapter 922 They Did It!
?
"Even if I ended up away from the place of this battle, it won't make a difference," he already told Sloth to activate the formation the moment they finished it. And like that, the dark leaders would get another problem to solve, a disaster they couldn't handle.
By this time, they'd feel like they got their house made out of glass, and they had to stop the approaching falling burning meteorite shower from the sky.
William kept digging and didn't care about anything else. He estimated to keep doing this for two hours before he'd start heading towards the surface again.
His digging speed wasn't slow, but the reach of the fire sea he started was enough to cover up kilometres around the gates. So he had to make sure to not make a little mistake in his calculations, ending up in the middle of the deadly ocean of fire up there.
As he kept progressing in his digging, Sloth and others finished laying down the formation in one hour. The moment they did so, they activated it. And then they waited.
"Is that it?" one of the team turned to Sloth, "didn't that kid say this formation is going to shatter the enemy? Shake their armies?"
*Rumble!*
Before that master would continue saying his doubts, a muffled rumbling occurred. It came from the direction of the gates, attracting everyone's attention.
Be it Sloth, his team, or the dark master leaders… All turned their focus and attention towards the monster gates' direction. It started with a low rumbling, followed by a series of other low-toned rumbling.
Then they all watched the miracle happening right in front of their eyes. All the gates William laid down his array around got surrounded by a dome. It was faintly yellow in colour, seemingly not doing anything remarkable in the eyes of Sloth and his team.
But after the series of muffled rumbling, all of these gates started to shake violently, issuing much louder and much scarier rumbling noises. The shaking wasn't just limited to the gates, but also the domes that surrounded them.
It started with the fall of the domes first. It appeared as if a point of strong gravity appeared in the centre of each gate, sucking inside the domes surrounding them.
As the domes collapsed on themselves, cracks appeared over the surface of the giant gates. The cracks were spreading like spiderwebs, covering up the entirety of these gates in mere minutes.
The dark leaders watching all this happening didn't have anything to do to stop it. They got their connection severed with the gates before, and that meant they couldn't intervene to support them, preventing them from collapsing.
At the same time, the formation Sloth and others did wasn't just targeted at these gates, but at the rest of the gates as well. That made them work fast and hard, supporting the remaining gates they still had a connection with.
Doing so took most of their spirit power and attention, and prevented them from thinking of a way to counter what these masters did.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
In just half an hour, the gates started to explode on their own. With each explosion, a surge of fire emanated and spread out from these gates, heading towards the surrounding monsters, and eating them up.
In the eyes of those watching, it felt like anyone or anything standing there was doomed! There was no way to run, fire was everywhere and coming from every direction, heading towards all!
At this moment, be it Sloth, the masters with him, or even the dark leaders… All admired what William did. Such a young master was able to change the tide of such a high-end battle, one that was enough to tear down the capital, kill tons of its people, and force even the king and his elites to get trapped like rats in the middle of nowhere.
And the dark leaders felt another thing; deep hatred running through their dark spirits. They knew William's name from a long time ago, thanks to what this kid did five years before. Yet they felt what happened back then was the fault of the dark masters at that time, and thought that these dark masters were incapable and weak.
But they now realised the truth. It wasn't the fault of the dark masters of that time, William was the main problem.
Realising the core of the threat came a bit too late for them. They couldn't do anything right now to stop what was happening, the best they could was to save the little few gates that remained without getting covered with these domes.
William didn't know what was going on out there, but he could imagine it. He kept digging, thinking all the time about the monsters chasing him, trying to see if he lost them or not. What he didn't know was that the moment Sloth and his team acted, the dark leaders called the monsters back, ending up getting bathed with another sea of fire.
They were hurt, and exhausted, so it was expected to lose more of their numbers on the second wave of explosions. After two hours, William finally decided it was enough and changed his direction, heading towards the surface.
He made the tunnel rise up in an oblique way, enough to secure more distance at the end. He took half an hour to reach the surface, and when he did, he looked instantly around.
Finding no fire was great, and made him sigh in relief. Then he turned to spot the distance. Right now, darkness prevailed over the world, and the fire he left behind was like a blazing torch in the middle of such blackness.
Yet he saw two sources of this bright red and orange fire, one surrounding the other. "They did it, hahahaha!" William laughed, feeling at ease at last.
*Roar!*
Just before he'd take a single moment of rest, he heard faint roars coming from far away. It came from the totally opposite direction to here, the direction that shouldn't have monsters.
