Chapter 875 I Have One Life, Won't Risk It!



The dark masters would simply retreat, leaving the normal master army to walk into their demise, watching them fight and die from far without the need to even take part in anything.

William started to explain the right method to take this formation down. As logic depicted, fighting formation would be possible by another one. As for trying to fight these shadow monsters, it was a futile attempt.

After all, they weren't real monsters to begin with!

"Let's do it as William said," just as William finished speaking, Sloth interfered, "let's arrange ourselves in ten teams, each will handle one part of this formation."

"Ok," the high-end masters felt tons of doubts. After all such knowledge didn't come from the legendary Sloth but from the teenager who was his disciple.

Sloth didn't hesitate to follow William's words to the letter. He started arranging teams, distributing the high-end masters over these evenly.

"What about you?" As everyone got arranged in teams, including William's friends and team, Sloth noticed he stood alone without joining any.

"Like usual, he'll go ahead alone," Ibra rolled his eyes, and his casual words attracted the attention of everyone.

"Is it true?!" Sloth turned to William, and the latter shrugged.

"For this plan to work, I have to create a diversion," William lied, "so I'm going to do it."

"Then I'm coming with you," Sloth didn't hesitate to volunteer. And William didn't reject such a strong aider.

Under the shocking gazes of everyone, be it the high-end masters who didn't get what was going on between these two, or who was the master and who was the disciple, or William's friends who saw him accept help for the first time ever without objecting or saying anything, the duo started to run towards the Black Holes area.

"What's the plan?" After they ran far enough, Sloth turned to William and asked, "and don't give me this bullshit about causing a distraction. You know perfectly well we could have done it after laying out the foundation of the formation."

William looked at Sloth for a long minute before slowly nodding. "Did you notice something amiss here? Something that doesn't add up?"

"Like what?" This wasn't Sloth's idea to begin with, so he didn't even grasp everything related to such a plan.

"We are making a formation to counter the one waiting for us inside that area, but we are the one invading them, not the opposite."

"This..." Sloth didn't need him to explain any further to get what he wanted to say here. For a formation to counter another, the two must clash against each other. To do so, the two formations must come in contact with each other, fighting for dominance at a specific area.

The best way to handle this was by laying that formation inside the Black Holes region. Yet William was sure the enemy wouldn't give them time to do so. And Sloth realised all this at this point.

"What are we going to do then?" as he grasped the full picture, he couldn't help but ask.

"It's simple," William shrugged, "you protect me, and I'll lay down another formation inside that place."I think you should take a look at

"..."

Sloth got the idea behind William's actions but couldn't help but feel shocked and surprised from his daring thoughts. This plan was doomed to fail using the few thousands of their team, and now William wanted to do it using just the two of them.

William looked at Sloth's eyes and knew what this old mentor was thinking about.

"I can do it," William firmly said. He knew this wasn't the time to act casual or light about this situation, "I just need you to protect me, and I can perfectly do it."

"But..."

"Don't worry, there is another way to take these shadows down," William took out something. "Infuse your spirit power in these and throw them fast enough, ok?"

"The Vibrant Ores?!!!" the face of Sloth changed the moment he saw what William took out, "don't you have grenades? You made tons of them already! Just bring these out and let's use them."

"No, you got it wrong," William shook his head, while pushing the Vibrant ores he took out into Sloth's hands, "what we aim isn't to use fire, but another feature of these ores."

"..."

"These ores are very sensitive to spirit power, right?" William slowly explained, and Sloth didn't even nod or show a single change on his face, "these shadows are made out of high concentration of spirit power. Using these ores, we'll let the ores disintegrate into smoke."

"..."

"Just believe me..."

"I'm going back!" Sloth decisively turned around to return to where the rest of the team was, "you go ahead and do this scary and crazy plan of yours alone."

"Wait, you already volunteered... What a pussy you are!" just before William would move to grab Sloth's arm, the latter vanished in a flash.

"I have one life and won't plan to waste it to test something I never heard about before. Good luck kid, I'll pray for your success."

The voice of Sloth kept going distant while William was left back alone. "What a soft boned master you are!" William grabbed the vibrant ores that fell on the ground and shook his head in disappointment. "I should have known better..."

He sighed, returning to his initial plan. He was going to use his two monstrous weapons to do this task instead of Sloth. But it'd cost him lots of elixirs and the situation would grow dire.

What he didn't know was that Sloth didn't really retreat. He just acted out of impulse, out of fear, just like any normal master in his position. But something told him that William would need his help. And so, he decided to wait here for him. And he decided to call for reinforcement when that disturbing feeling kept growing inside his spirit, making him more restless.

William advanced towards the Black Holes region without slowing down. He didn't hurry to take out his two weapons, so he'd not alarm the enemy about his abilities before the start of the battle.
