As they did not have enough time to waste, they hastily selected a moment in time and started to activate the formation's unique ability. The moment the formation started to work; things started to change all over the place.
The mountain peaks shook like a violent earthquake was hitting the world. The air itself started to change colour, felt like it was so heavy and suffocating to anyone present here.
This happened just the moment Richard stood with extreme difficulty from the rough landing he suffered. The hit he received from Ibra might look weak, but the latter used his darkness element fiercely, ending up injuring many internal organs for Rick.
But when he realised where he landed, he didn't care about any of that. He stood up and was about to resume running again. But then the ground shook, the peak he was standing upon started to show fierce cracks, while the air looked so heavy and difficult to breathe.
Rick couldn't believe this. He was this close from getting away, this close from being saved. And then something unexpected like this happened.
Ibra also paused in his tracks, unable to follow or pursue after Rick. he felt like the world was about to end.
Zin also felt the same. And it was a very weird feeling especially for someone standing at the pinnacle of power in this world like him.
Only William knew what was going on, and he didn't care. In fact, when the world changed and the ground trembled, he started to push himself beyond limits, wanting to get rid of Rick before any of the Mutants would interfere.
William knew what was going on as he already experienced this before. The Mutants seemed to get insanely pressured with what Zin kept doing for all this time. And so, they got forced to abruptly end the formation. And this was just the normal signs of activating such a heaven defying thing.
Trying to break the laws of nature, time, fate, and destiny wasn't a simple thing. But that meant the Mutants would be freed with a very weakened state. And that was great news to William.
Yet there were fifty of them and there were only three. William wanted to take this chance to get rid of the variable in all this, Rick. he knew Rick kept using weird stuff from the outer world one time after another. And the last thing William wanted to see was for him to use something new that would change everything.
So, he gulped another elixir bottle, flashed forward, not caring about any of the destruction that was going on all over the world.
Cracks started to appear at the mountain peaks, giving anyone seeing them a scare. These cracks weren't just at the peaks, but they also ran all down, towards the base of all mountains. It was a very terrifying sight, one that would leave anyone watching this in deep awe and shock.
William didn't care about any of that. He just watched one target, and only Rick was present in his eyes, mind, and spirit.
"I'll start with you!" but William was already too far away from Rick from the start. Even if he pushed his limits, even if he pushed Charley to burn much of its spirit power than usual, the two failed to touch a single hair of Rick.
A body flashed and landed in front of Rick, stopping the flying weapons Wiliam sent towards Rick. The latter was in midair at this moment, flashing towards the peak Rick was standing at.
William knew if his flying weapons landed and hit their target, Rick was done for. But a shadow flashed, landing in front of Rick, shielding the latter from all the flying weapons with a ball of brown light.
Loud clanging sounds erupted, and yet the weapons got all deflected and flew away from Rick. Seeing this made William inwardly sigh. He tried, but thanks to Ibra's foolish move back then, he failed.
"As if you have the power to do so," William knew other Mutants were about to move and attack him next. Yet he didn't fret. Even if he was about to face fifty Mutants, scary beings who were all much stronger than him, he didn't feel panic.
They weren't in their top or even decent form, and he wasn't alone. William got Ibra close by, a dark gold master who didn't join any battle for a long time already. Not to mention Zin was heading towards here.
All he needed to do was to buy enough time for Zin to arrive, and then things would be easily under control.
"A silver grade master is speaking back to me? Do you think by weakening me I won't be able to crush an ant like you?" that mutant was a thirty-year-old looking man, with long brown hair and honey coloured eyes.
He held a short thick rod in both hands, and that shield that stopped William's weapons came from these rods.
"We'll see about that," William knew he wasn't in his top form as well. He already got his top weapons destroyed. Not to mention he kept fighting constantly for days without a single moment of rest.
Even with the use of spirit power regeneration and exhaustion washing elixirs, William still felt tired and exhausted. But he knew he got to push himself for a little bit, and then this entire grand war would be over. And he'd win this.
William knew this Mutant was trying to act tough, but he was weak. He just got a severe backlash from that formation, and every minute passed counted.
Not to mention he was waiting for others to arrive and help.
William didn't waste his breaths anymore, dashed forward towards that enemy. The Mutant waved his two rods, while the crystal in his forehead shone brightly. And then the two rods shone as well.
The Mutants already used their human spirit before in forming clones. And ten of them already wasted their monstrous spirits to form clones that Zin shattered.
