Chapter 573 You Got Half An Hour To Leave
Monsters could sniff the location of any interworld portal from hundreds of kilometres away. The spatial spirit power these portals would emanate would look like candies in the eyes of any kid.
That solved the mystery of the huge ruins up there. And it seemed the monster race that controlled this region was the scary Floating Bubble monsters. They lived here to control this portal, protect it from the hands of anyone, and used its spirit power to survive and grow their numbers.
They were terrifyingly strong enough to scare most monsters away from here. They weren\'t just individually strong, but they were one of the rare high-grade monsters that lived in large numbers together. They were just like Scarlet Bears.
As for the portal cores Lara\'s grandfather found, they must be the final products of the ancient dwellers of the Lost City. They must have researched this interworld portal and used its rich spatial energy to make tons of portal cores.
William now got it. And like these terrifying monsters, he also wanted to seize this place for himself.
"This is a problem… Everyone here must have seen what I did. And it wouldn\'t be weird for them to start making plans to conquer this place… I have to move fast!"
William once confirmed the presence of both the Scaled World Tree and the interworld portal underneath, he didn\'t stand idle and started to flash around, stacking his attacks again.
At the same time, his hands didn\'t stop for even one second. He took lots of materials out and started scattering them around this hole.
He knew trying to use defensive or concealment arrays wouldn\'t do. Be it monsters here, or the strong masters scattered all over the Lost City, they were strong enough to crush anything he\'d make.
That wouldn\'t help him at all in achieving his goal. He wanted to monopolise this place, take it for his own. And to do that, he knew the right method to do it!
He planned to use the most abundant source in this city and block the path towards here for anyone else but him.
So he kept flashing around, releasing lots of materials, scattering them all over the hole and around. At the same time, he stacked around fifty attacks, before dashing for six hundred metres straight, and released another attack.
Then he started to flash and scatter materials. This kept happening for twelve times. In the end, he got himself thirteen deep holes, filled with lots of materials that he seemed to throw out of panic in the eyes of others watching here.
But to him, he knew what he was doing. He was scattering materials following a certain pattern in his mind. And once he was done, he took a tour around, releasing his blood at the heart of each hole.
As he started doing this, others became suspicious of him. At first, he looked as if he was struggling to survive the monsters coming here. After all, with each explosion, a dense number of monsters were attracted towards his location.
But when he started to visit the holes without releasing any attack, leaving behind his blood, everyone knew something wrong was going on. And when they tried to imagine the general layout of the thirteen holes William made, they found them totally surrounding the stairs zone from all directions!
"I know you are watching," and when their minds kept releasing alarms, warning them that something bad was going to happen, William suddenly spoke, "I\'m going to release an infinite sound loop, a nice trick that will release continuous noises all the time through my formation. You do realise I was making one. If you don\'t move away in the next half an hour, then you\'ll get entrapped here for the rest of your lives."
William said these words in a calm tone, didn\'t even shout or raise his voice or anything. He was sure his words rang like thunder in the minds of everyone in this city. He was sure this would turn him into public enemy number one, but he never cared.
This place… This interworld portal was something extremely precious that he was willing to fight the whole world to secure it. And he wasn\'t just overreacting or overdoing things here, anyone else in his place would do just the same as him.
Right now, even if the masters here got the right method to clear monsters, they didn\'t yet have the means to do it.
If he waited, gave them time to prepare, if he tried to use another method to secure this place, then the chances of anyone finding about the interworld portal hidden underneath all this were quite high.
He\'d not risk this, not when he got a way to control and seize everything using such a method. Of course, this formation ran on spirit power, which was already rich in the city thanks to that portal.
So, he was sure the formation would run for as long as he desired. Using the blood he left behind, he\'d also secure his total control over this formation.
As for the possibility of the city masters up there to rally their forces and try to come here and clear the monsters surrounding the stairs, he knew they\'d fail. Without the need for him to check, he knew the number of monsters here was way above any master\'s abilities.
It wouldn\'t be weird if they were in millions. And that made this place like a grand monster tide attacking a city. With his formation, he\'d lure many of these monsters here, letting them work as his watch dogs.
William didn\'t wait for their answer. He was willing to leave whoever dared to stay behind and ignore his words to rot in here. William rarely acted this decisively, but if he got such a ticket to the outer world in front of him, he\'d not hesitate to take it.
