Chapter 871 Returning To The City
The explosive noises coming from the attacks landing over the formation were enough to scare even himself.
He shouted back, while dashing away from here as fast as he could. He called back his monstrous and flying weapons, ran with all the might he had.
His voice vanished like nothing in the middle of all these explosions. The entire world around him littered in bright lights, with massive shockwaves assaulted him from behind, carrying him forward at a faster speed.
Luckily, he got wind elements and techniques that helped to stabilise his descent. He didn't suffer much damage, but that wasn't the case for those who were sleeping beside the formation.
Lots of masters died, and then the entire place grew hectic as much more came from outside, flooding the entire place. William went first thing towards Karoline, stood by her side, and watched this circus unfolding in front of his eyes.
Masters were looking for enemies, but they found none. "Silence! All masters move away from here," a loud voice came from one direction, one that told William he was a high-grade dark gold master.
"Sir, enemies did this, and they…"
"They are dead," the master shouted in his loud voice, "can't you see? There is evidence of a harsh battle that happened inside. Whoever they were, they are dead now. And the ones who took them down are the ones who cleared the entire formation for us. Hopefully they aren't all dead, and few are still alive. Back off and let me and other experienced masters handle the situation."
William stood in his place without caring about any of this. Soon enough the high-end masters came to notice him. He was, after all, a celebrity in the closed circle of high-end masters.
They spoke with him, and soon enough they got to know what happened. William didn't need to hide what happened here from them, as he wanted them to be aware of such a deadly trick. He also stressed on the point that the life of masters shouldn't include any fun activities like these, especially when they were marching for a grand war.
They agreed on his words, praised him for saving the lives of many. Lots of masters died, but much more survived. This was considered a better result than losing all of them at the hands of such a dirty scheme.
As for what was going on to these sleeping masters, the formidable masters reassured William that this was a common tactic used by dark masters.
They were going to wake up in less than a day, but they'd suffer from a terrible headache for many days. William went speechless when he heard that. If such a tactic was common and known to many, how come masters here fell for it?
He and Karoline got their excuses. He didn't know such a dirty method existed and was common in this world. And Karoline was new to the human world, very interested in everything related to the human way of life.
Yet those masters… In his eyes, they had no excuse for falling for such an old trick. He didn't say anything, but his face told these masters everything. And they seemed to share the same viewpoint as him, shook their heads and said nothing before leaving.
William didn't want to stick here anymore. So, he released his two monstrous weapons, letting one carry the sleepy Karoline, and Charley cleared a way for them to march faster.
Seeing such two massive monsters moving in the middle of the endless masters' army was a scene to behold. Many got the wrong idea at first, soon to be stopped when they noticed the youngster who seemed to control these two monsters.
The news rapidly spread, and many started to learn about William and his deeds. They also knew he was the one controlling the two monsters, walking like a king in the middle of their colossal gathering.
Doing this saved William lots of trouble and time. Just by the passage of one day after what happened, and when Karoline was showing signs of waking up, the duo was at the edge of the city at last.
"Where are we?" The moment Karoline opened her eyes, she found herself in the middle of a big house. There were two other young ladies in front of her, with William sitting opposite to her, examining her condition using his spirit power.
"You are awake, and things look fine…"
"What happened to me? Why am I here? What's this place and who are these people?" she started to rain him down with many questions, while he slowly explained things over to her.
"Screw those dirty humans! They were friends of mine before and tried to curry favor with me favour! And now? They are trying to kill me? William, lead me towards their leader, I'll rip his head off…"
"Hey, don't forget how weak you are!" William interrupted her train like words, reminding her of her new identity. He got two weird looks from the two girls standing by his side, Tara and Angelica.
The two looked at him then at Karoline in a weird way. "Ahem, let me introduce you, this is Karoline, a young girl who lost her memory and speaks about weird things all the time."
"Oh, what a poor girl!" Tara said in sympathy, feeling terrible for Karoline. As for Angelica, she already knew how mysterious William was, so she didn't buy any of what he said easily.
"I'm not sick! And you know that!" Karoline spoke in an intense way, and William simply smiled, said nothing. His response was clear to the two girls, as if he was saying: See? She isn't well at all!
"Anyway," William suddenly stood up, "I'm going to close on myself for one week. Don't let anyone come near me, get it?"
