BXBX NOVEL Chapter 842 Despair
William went back to the house allocated to him, closed on his room's door, strengthened the security of it with tons of arrays, before taking the scroll out.
He knew lots of pinnacle masters were watching his every move now. So, he just wanted to keep them busy dealing with these arrays while he'd send the message over. Then by the time they'd crush their way through them, he'd be finished and would be lying on his bed, sleeping like a baby.
William sent the message, and like usual he got nothing in return. As he slept like a baby, releasing all the stress he had swelled up inside for a long time, his team and others led by Sloth were having tons of trouble and challenges.
They were running away from the disaster that befell the entire flying monster zone, running towards the safe area they thought it was going to be safe.
At first, they arrived and stayed there for a week or more without much problems. But later on, the fierce changes that happened to this part of the world started to follow them, especially when cracks joined together and started to form gigantic holes in the sky.
Monsters were still killing each other in the sky, but the moment these holes appeared, the monsters started to get sucked towards them.
If William was here, he'd realise all these holes were actually holes, ones that weren't anything like even the interworld portals. They weren't just different in size and shape, but also in ferocity.
To be able to drag the colossal flying monsters towards them without giving these monsters any chance to struggle was indeed a testimony to their overbearing strength.
Such an effect didn't just impact the flying monsters, but also the ground itself. Large sized rocks started to fly out, heading like sent arrows towards these holes. Nothing passed these holes and managed to return, or even was able to resist the irresistible pulling strength of gravitational forces there to escape.
Mountains weren't spared as well. And that made Sloth and others feel the world was falling over their heads, coming to an end. The moment the fierce shakes appeared, and cracks spread all over the colossal body of the mountain they were living inside, and they knew their rest period was over.
"Let's go," Sloth was able to see the black holes in the sky using his spirit sense. He didn't see much, as every time he tried to spread his sense up there, it got crushed by the intense gravity of these holes.
"Any earth element masters here?" Sloth knew just trying to walk away from here wouldn't do. Anything that dared to get out was pulled towards these holes without any exception.
The only way out was by creating tunnels underground, taking shelter in the heart of earth, letting it shield them from the holes up there.
There were enough earth-based masters who started to dig deep and big tunnels under the ground. As there were few with metal elements, he also asked them to fortify the tunnel using their techniques, hoping this would help.
But soon enough he learnt that nothing was enough, nothing could stand against the force that was about to tear this part of the world apart and suck it away.
It started with the parts they left behind. They didn't have time to lighten up the tunnel, so it was dark except for a few candles they held in their hands. They were running, going towards the direction Sloth directed them towards.
But soon enough, and after a few hours, the darkness started to get brightened up. The tunnel parts they left behind started to rise up and get sucked by these black holes, giving them all a scare.
"Dig deeper!" Sloth knew the world up there was getting a reshape, as if a colossal shovel was working over the surface, creating deep holes there. The only way out was to dig deeper, hoping this disaster was time limited and would end soon.
But as they kept doing this for days, they started to lose any kind of hope. There was no way out from this hell, and the end result was clear to everyone. If they got exposed to the light, they'd get sucked almost instantly.
This happened to a few of them who were slow or were curious to see what was going on up there. Seeing these few getting sucked and dragged away made everyone's hearts fall to the ground.
They kept running, running without taking a single moment of rest. And yet their fate was already set in stone. Not until something came that changed everything.
"Listen up, William sent me a message just now…" as he received William's message, Sloth couldn't help but heave a deep sigh of relief and gratitude.
Again, his life, and others here, would be saved thanks to the same teenager he never placed in his eyes before.
William just sent the message and slept, not knowing that such casual action of his would change the entire drastic situation of his team, friends, and others led by Sloth.
The moment everyone heard what Sloth said, that William found a way out and was coming to them in ten days, their crushed morales revived and skyrocketed.
As long as there was hope, they wouldn't succumb to despair like before. Even if they didn't know how William would be able to face such a situation and save them, they still placed high hopes over him.
Especially his team and friends, they were the ones who knew William better. The moment they heard what William said, and they already considered themselves rescued.
"Listen to me, our boss is a mysterious person," Ibra led his friends and team, spoke in a loud tone while running with everyone else, "he may look weak, but trust me… If we have a shot to go out from here, then it'd be only in his hands."
