"Anyone hearing me right now, gather up and let's hunt him down!" and when William thought that leader would use another flashy jump like before to catch up with him, he heard that dude shout in an enraged voice that looked a bit weaker than usual.
"Oh, so the little gifts I left you did weaken you regardless of what you did... That's great to hear, hahahaha!" William knew that his situation would go from bad to worse if others managed to catch up right now.
He didn't use his Holy Sword technique with all the steps needed and took a shortcut to do it. That shortcut saved him around half of the total expenditure of this brutal technique.
Instead of consuming like sixty or seventy percent of his spirit power, he ended up just consuming thirty percent. William knew he got another chance to use his technique, or two if that dude was generous to give him a hand again.
But that would only work on that dude, not on the remaining sixteen strong members running after him right now.
*Boom!* *Boom!*
Having no other choice, William kept releasing more of his arrows while running as fast as he could. On a few occasions, he consumed part of his spirit power and used his lightning dash technique.
To make up for the loss of his spirit power used in this technique, William kept absorbing bronze and even white monster cores that he had. And at the same time, he tried to scatter around his arrows, blocking any direct path heading towards him.
"Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! This is bad!" but unlike what he expected, few seemed to have their ways to deal with his fire. Four of them even walked directly in the middle of the fierce fire, like they got nothing to do with these.
"I'm screwed!" and when seeing all this, watching almost twelve members appearing quite fast, running using their darkness element techniques, using the aid from the darkness around to speed up and catch up to him, William knew his fate was turning to the worst.
*Roar!*
"Oh my god! At last, you caught up with all this! What took you so long, son of b*tch?" and just when he felt he was going to die at the hands of these dark spirit masters, a fierce roar erupted all of sudden from one direction before a dark flash appeared.
And William didn't just spot one, but he saw as many as dozens of them. They were all moving fast, flashing out of the dense trees around, heading directly towards the group of dark spirit masters getting close to him.
It was the clones of that Nightmare monster! William knew that dude wasn't that kind to just appear and give him a helping hand, it was here to kill them all.
"More enemies mean more mess, I just love it!" and unlike what anyone would feel at his spot, instead of feeling desperation, all he did was to laugh out of his excitement.
In such a chaotic and unpredictable and uncontrollable battle, William was like a whale in the ocean!
No, he was like a deadly white giant shark!
"Watch out!"
"Incoming!"
"Control monsters around, make them come to help!"
"Stop these!"
"Don't let him escape, goddammit!"
And just as the Nightmare clones announced their presence, the others behind William shouted and screamed, while a big and intense battle erupted just out of the blue and almost instantly.
"Who said I'm going to escape?" and just when the leader was worried his fish would slip through the net, William stopped running, turned around, flashed like a bolt of lightning, crossing the distance between him and one of those dark spirit masters in a few jumps.
And as William's excited voice erupted and heard by all, William used his sword and knives, hacked through the body of that poor dude he attacked first, left behind a few arrows, before dashing out again.
And he didn't forget to collect his loot in the middle of doing all this!
"It's a perfect night for a hunt," William dashed in an unpredictable course. Sometimes he crossed ten metres and hit the closest dude to him, and other times he'd dash and cross fifty metres at one breath, hitting someone far from him.
But with each jump, he did the same. He slashed his sword, left a deep and fatal wound of his sword on his enemy, dozens of other wounds caused by the fast-rotating knives of his, before throwing out a few of his arrows behind.
He didn't spare the helping Nightmare monster clones from this and hit many of these at the same time.
Tables got turned over, and the prey started to act like a hunter, and the hunters stood like petrified statues, like helpless and powerless kids watching the world all around crumble in their eyes without having any way to even defend or protect themselves.
This kind of battle was the perfect setting William would dream of. He was very experienced in such chaotic fights. Everyone was busy trying to stop and kill the Nightmare clones around, without anyone focusing solely on him.
Even those Nightmare monster clones looked powerless in front of him. They were all bronze clones, overall weak in strength, but got the advantage in numbers for sure.
With his insane and unpredictable moving technique, while using his lightning element to contend against the darkness elements his enemies used, William was simply unstoppable.
"What the hell are you? Do you have inexhaustible spirit power or what?!!!" After five minutes of the start of this mess, the leader couldn't control himself and scream in such shock and panic.
During these five minutes, William never ceased to use his lightning technique even for a single second. The latter knew perfectly well, just like the leader and all foes around, that if he stopped for a single second, he'd be done for.
So, from the start, William kept putting the useless white and bronze cores he had into good use, replenishing his lost spirit power steadily, making him able to pull such a feat.
