That wasn't really good news to him. When he got out, he found that he appeared just on the opposite side of Zin.
"Old man, try to meet me before they do," William didn't stop there and started to take a longer curved path, heading towards Zin. The latter got what this sneaky youth wanted to do, and instantly shifted his direction, heading towards him.
He got tricked with William's act, just like everyone else. William didn't feel safe, not yet. He already got away from the trap he found himself in and ended up facing a group of enraged and scary Mutants.
*Rumble!* *Rumble!* *Rumble!*
"Take candies, they are really spicy, hahahaha!"
*Rumble!* *Rumble!* *Rumble!*
The next thing he did was to throw lots of his grenades towards the group of Mutants. He thanked his early preparations, thanked his meticulous planning before to widespread produce such deadly grenades and other war consumables when he got time to do so.
Even if he was now throwing grenades away like he was throwing useless stuff, he didn't care about that. He got lots of grenades anyway.
He knew these grenades wouldn't be enough to kill a single Mutant chasing him, but they could stop or at least slow their advancement speed.
In addition to that, he was adding more wounds and depleting more of their spirit power in the meantime.
William wanted to weaken and delay these Mutants before meeting up with Zin. he knew the moment he'd join Zin's side; things would be totally over for the Mutants.
But just as he was going to do this, the Mutants seemed to grow really enraged to the extent of going all out. The thirty-nine Mutants who didn't make clones of their monstrous spirits acted and formed clones before sending them fast to intercept William.
"Sh*t! Do you think this is fair? Going all out against a mere silver master? Aren't you ashamed of yourselves? Go to Zin, he is a dark gold master, one equal to you!"
William shouted back when he spotted the grand copies coming at him. He knew going towards that direction was now an impossible feat. and so he instantly turned around and moved towards the totally opposite direction.
He just needed to run for almost ten minutes or so to meet with Zin. but as he changed route, he knew it'd take much longer than that.
"Damn! You are really blessed with bad luck, kiddo!" Zin shouted from behind, and William couldn't help but shout back:
"Try to do something, you are the higher master among the two of us!"
"No," Zin laughed, "I planned to pick you and that young man up, then leave this cursed place."
"They are weak! Don't take them like when you fought back with them. They got severe backlash and can't even exert ten percent of their initial strength!"
"For real?" Just hearing this made the eyes of the old man brighter, "let me test things out then."
All this time Zin refrained from directly clashing against any of these Mutants. He knew how scarily strong they were, and it wasn't wise to clash with forty-nine of them without any backing.
Zin meant what he said earlier, intended to leave this place the moment he met William. Yet when he heard what William said, he couldn't help but grow excited.
And in the next few minutes he knew William wasn't lying. "Hahahaha! They are crushed down like they are made of fragile glass, hahahaha!" he just attacked three of them and managed to swiftly kill these three.
"Don't slack then, it's easy to get rid of them," William was feeling a little pain when he saw Zin taking the rings over the three he just killed. And such a reaction didn't escape Zin's senses.
"What? Do you think I'll leave these rich spoils to you? Damn! These masters are really rich!"
"Give me a share, give me a share…" William was on the verge of crying here, and pleaded with Zin to share part of the loot with him.
William knew how rich these rings were, as these Mutants were world famous for being overly rich. But Zin refused to share a single item with him.
Instead, he turned his full attention towards these Mutants, seeing them like how a lion would see a flock of deer.
"Leave a few for me to kill, you are a stingy old man," William instantly panicked when he saw Zin killing these Mutants in such an easy way. His goal was clear as he never left a corpse without cleaning everyone off it.
Seeing this drove William's blood to boil. He didn't care anymore about those clones chasing him down, risked it and moved fast to bypass them. He ended up getting totally surrounded, but he didn't mind that.
He worked everything he got to kill Mutants, but he wouldn't be as fast as Zin. a dark gold master, one at the pinnacle on top of that, was much fiercer and a lot deadlier than a silver master.
The thing that helped William to kill and loot seven Mutants at the end was Charley and his grenades. William wasted hundreds of grenades to claim the loot of these seven Mutants, ending up having eight Mutant rings.
But just with a single glance he knew this was worth the trade. Even when he added all the grenades he used since the start of this war, all the elixirs he exhausted since then, he knew it was worth it!
Just one ring's content of these twenty-five rings was enough to make up for his losses. But realising that Zin collected the remaining rings left a deep bitterness in William's heart.
During all this, Ibra was chasing after Rick with everything he got. He wasn't as wealthy as William, but he got as other vices enough resources to keep him able to run after Rick like this.
He kept using his darkness techniques without reservations. Yet he wasn't William. So, he had to struggle for almost an hour before finally catching up with Rick.
