Chapter 849 A Scary Thing He Kept Hidden



"This way," he looked a bit weaker thanks to the damage his spirit power suffered. This wasn't like how he experienced before, and that was mainly thanks to the increasing might of the gravitational spirit power out there.

"Thanks," William could guess what this old man suffered, he patted on his shoulder before turning to everyone, "let's go. We'll stick together, live and fight, or fall together, let's go!"

William didn't stand his place anymore, leading everyone towards the direction Sloth pointed towards. The latter used elixirs to heal himself, before scanning the world up there again from time to time, just to make sure they were heading in the right direction.

He kept guiding them across their hectic and crazy travel back towards the heart of this place. The more they advanced deeper, the more trembling that came from the ground.

After travelling like this for many hours, two things happened. First the monsters that kept assaulting and harassing them decreased in number, ending up not showing up after they passed a day in their travel.

That was indeed good news, but the bad one was that the ground started to shock cracks everywhere. They had to dig deeper, but slowly they started to feel they were going to hit the core of the world, without finding any safe place.

"Keep moving," William knew the pressure over everyone reduced a lot when the monsters stopped showing up. But that didn't mean the stress and fear vanished, "anyone with strengthening arrays use them! Anyone with techniques able to support this place, even building pillars, use them!"

According to Sloth, they were heading towards a place filled with endless flying masses of rocks and dust, rubbles filling the entire world with no sign of ending. Yet there was no trace of anything remarking the central spot of this entire zone.

William knew Sloth was using his spirit sense to take a glimpse out there, but he trusted his hunch. They were getting closer to the heart of this zone, and he could feel it!

The intensity of the gravitational force was increasing to an unprecedented degree. Even the very deep layers of earth were shaking and trembling, showing lots of cracks over there.

William kept pushing them forward, but eventually they started to walk and run in the middle of the lava world. Hell truly descended upon them, and death was eyeing them from every corner.

Yet William never thought about turning back. Sloth and other formidable masters started to spread their orders and techniques, letting those with ice and water elements to intervene and deal with lava.

Even lava-based masters, who were few, started to control the lava and help as far as they could. Everyone was running and pressured for a long time before William even reached them. And after all this time, they started to show obvious signs of fatigue and exhaustion.I think you should take a look at

William was looking for something, something to tell him what the root of all this was. Such a colossal natural phenomenon might have appeared when the world was going to fall. But there were two unexplained things that happened.

The first was their inability to leave here. William knew if such a thing happened, then it was a sign that something was happening in the middle of all this, something that the entire natural disaster was resonating with, wouldn't end until it would be finished.

And then there was the weird attitude of monsters outside. William knew such actions from monsters weren't explained, didn't make any sense.

Adding the two together, William was positive that whatever was taking shape in the heart of all this was something grand, something unique, something so precious to even stir up all the monsters to flood here and wait on the edge of such a dangerous place, even risking fighting this bad and brutal against humans out there.

Even if he knew there was something great happening here, he didn't get any clue about it. It might be a naturally born treasure, an artefact even... It could be the seed of disaster, a weapon left over by that nine tailed fox to take down this world once and for all.

It might be good, might be bad, but William was sure it was epic and special. On top of that, he had to intervene and either steal this treasure for himself or ruin it. That was because if that thing wasn't of any use to him, he was sure it was going to be a scary weapon in the hands of others, or perhaps start out a huge trouble.

Not to mention he kept a tiny little detail off everyone here, worrying they might grow panicked or something. And that was indeed quite scary.

There was something getting formed or born in the heart of this zone, but there was no guarantee that this thing was going to be completed without killing every single living spirit within this zone.

That might explain why the filtering membrane separating this world from outside prevented anyone leaving but allowed anyone to get inside. That also explained why the moment William turned to head towards this place, all monsters looked away and didn't try to stop him, even clearing a path for him as if they thought of him as a dead human.

William decided to keep such scary news to himself the moment he saw the intense reactions of everyone towards his appearance. He felt how desperate they were, and crushing the weakly blazing hope wasn't going to do anyone any good.

That was why the first thing he did after realising that there was no exit was to lead everyone and come here. They had to either control that yet to be born thing or kill it!

Willaim kept looking for such clues, spreading his spirit sense carefully and limiting it just inside the tunnel. At first, he didn't see anything unusual at all. Then after two days of travelling and fighting, he started to grow a weird hunch.
