Chapter 771 Rescuing The Team



"Let's go!" Park said, but he never moved. He let ten others of the group pass, and that made William take a note about him in his heart.

One hit after another, one gap appeared after another. And with each gap, more people passed.

"It's our turn now," William turned to Park and five more with him, "let's go," he landed another hit and the gap that just closed reopened again. Once he passed through it, he and others got out at last.

"This..." the shock over Park's and other's faces was no less than what William had when he first appeared here.

"Told you, I can take you out safely," William shrugged, "stay here. You will come with me, I suppose," he said this to Park and the latter couldn't help but gulp, swallowing his immense shock inside.

"Where are we? Do you have any clue what's happening?" as William led Park back, the latter kept asking, and William only answered with denial.

"I just came here a few hours ago," William sighed, "I came to save my friends. And won't explore the world until I do what I came here for."

"Ok..." Park was a bit depressed about the lack of answers, but he did what he promised to do before. He told his people about what he saw out there and stressed over William's ability to save all of them.

Then things went smoothly after that. The masters inside the grand formation started to come out in batches, and William handled extracting them outside.

He didn't find any problem in doing so. After all, he was going to repeat the same to save his friends. Their location was confirmed, lying inside the last windstorm. And like this, he was gaining enough experience to execute the rescue mission more efficiently.

This took roughly three hours to take everyone out. And when William joined them outside, he couldn't help but notice how thinned and physically drained they were.

Spirit power kept them alive, but it wasn't enough to maintain their physiques. So, it was expected how miserable they looked, reminding William of the first time he saw his body when he came back in time.

"You can stay here," they were all looking at the world around like they were looking at something out of this world, "I'm going to save my friends and come back. Don't walk around, or else you may end up getting inside these deadly winds again."

William left without adding another word. He already informed Ibra that he was coming to their rescue. And during all this time, he got to listen to their current status and overall story.

They came here around two weeks ago. The moment they arrived here, they found themselves entrapped inside the deadly and ferocious windstorm.

They got the mentor of Anjie on their side, armed up with the potions and elixirs they got from her. Using all this, they managed to survive all this time without much damage suffered.

They were exhausted, feeling tired and weak. According to Ibra, the mentor was suffering the most, as he already got exposed to this wind much longer than anyone else.

According to the mentor, he had less than one week, and he'd die. As for them, he estimated they could survive for one more month. They tried everything and nothing worked. And their formations didn't help at all.

William didn't get what was the type of toxin spread in the windstorms, but he was sure it got something to negate any spirit power used. Unlike spirit power, pure physical attacks and moves were enough to crush the wind.

He already asked Ibra to use pure physical strength to destroy the wind. And yet this didn't help. It seemed like William got something, something that antagonised the wind and its toxin, something that others didn't.

"I bet it's that damn snake," he muttered to himself while working his way towards the depths of the seventh and last windstorm, the one where his friends were.

He knew this spirit and the other dog were a curse, but at this moment the snake proved its worth as a blessing. Without it, he wouldn't have survived or did any of what he did so far.

"Got you!" Once he passed through the outer thick layer of wind, he found the inside filled literally with wind. It wasn't as hostile or ferocious as the outer shell, and soon enough he pushed it away.

"I knew you would come to save us!"

The moment he cleared the air, he heard Berry's voice and saw her hair flying in the air. But she wasn't the one who ended up in his embrace, crying as if she was rescued from the mouth of a deadly beast.

"Lara... You b..."

"No time for that," William interrupted Berry's furious shout and curses, "let's go out. It's quite safe out of here. Follow me," William landed a long look over the old man who was looking as if he was at his last dying breaths or something.

From the first moment he stepped in here and pushed the wind away, and that man kept glaring at him in disbelief. He was one at the pinnacle of power, one who saw a lot in this world.

He heard about William long before he'd met the Black Tails team. And yet he never thought his life would be rescued by this youngster one day.

He always took William as someone who was lucky, having good traits, and might be considered a prodigy. But to someone like this mentor, one who worked for a royal family, he was used to seeing prodigies.

Yet he always looked down on them. He wasn't arrogant, but he knew life was long and the journey was hard. So being a prodigy was just barely enough to let him place anyone in his eyes, nothing more.

As William came in, solved the crisis that none ever managed to clear, it made this mentor start taking William more seriously.
