If it was just to allow them to travel towards a certain area, then it wouldn't be a problem. Yet they had to fight, and that was a variable he couldn't predict.
Giving them a day? He was thinking about a week! He decided to go out there and help, trying to buy enough time for them to make more potions.
William didn't want to just let his small army use these potions, but all the entrapped masters in that valley. According to Sloth, there were hundreds of thousands entrapped there, with a fighting force equal to a hundred thousand and a half.
Thanks to such a large number, they managed to survive against the monsters, dark masters, and the toxin. He knew trying to save the day, win the battle solo was impossible. Yet trying to create trouble for the enemies and attract their attention wasn't that hard actually.
"Why do I feel like I'm the dark masters' troublemaker? Hahahaha!" thinking about that drove a smile over his face, even laughing while running towards the direction of the battle.
He didn't need any guidance from Sloth as the loud sounds of the fierce battle out there were enough. He ran for fourteen hours until his spirit sense finally picked up the enemy trail.
He saw lots of monsters packed over each other, seemingly trying to pass forward. But they couldn't thanks to their huge numbers. Yet he didn't see any dark master among them.
William didn't hurry to advance anymore. He knew if there was any formidable dark master here, then he was spotted already. So he tried to waste time until they'd react.
He hoped they'd send a detachment over his direction, but that didn't happen. After half an hour, he decided to actively approach and take down the monsters blocking his path.
He took his flying weapons out, and when he got close enough, he landed using his deadly techniques. The first attack came from the Cannon Ball technique, followed by the Death Spreading technique, and ended the combo using his Holy Sword technique.
William's grade already got upgraded a lot, and that left a deep impact on the ferocity of his techniques. His dashing distance was now over one thousand metres, and the explosions he released were enough to create deep craters along the path he'd traverse.
The only drawback of this was the decreasing effect of his elixirs. He missed the time when he'd use just a single bottle and would last him for tens of normal attacks. But now? Just using it was enough to power up a few, not exceeding seven.
The moment he started the barrage of his attacks, the noises of his techniques merged with the loud noises coming from the forefront. It was hard to notice his presence at first, but later on it was impossible for anyone to miss him. And that was mainly thanks to his explosive arrows.
The moment he noticed that his attacks didn't attract the attention of the dark masters, he decided to make a big scene, one that they'd not miss.I think you should take a look at
He took out his bow and released many arrows at once. The arrows he used were already armed with grenades, ending up releasing a series of deadly explosions, sweeping lots of monsters away.
He didn't stop there and kept advancing deeper through the gaps created by his arrows and grenades. He joined the battle for two hours without anyone paying attention to him. But the moment he used his arrows, ten minutes didn't pass and he heard an earth-shattering quake coming from the far distance up front.
All of sudden, all the monsters that were busy trying to advance halted, turned around, and looked at him as if they were looking at the most delicious human in the world.
This scene was enough to shake any master, any but William. "Come, let's play a hide and seek game, one which I'll kill you all in the end with," William laughed, instantly using a series of his dashes without a moment of pause. He knew monsters were going to hunt him down mercilessly, and things would end up quite badly if they surrounded him.
So the first thing he did was to run fast while releasing his arrows without stopping. He got a large number of arrows with grenades, enough to create enough havoc for all these monsters.
His arrows and explosions succeeded in delaying the fierce advance of all these monsters. Not to mention they killed much more than before thanks to the craziness these monsters were in.
He couldn't help but notice that the monsters weren't acting in any way normal. They looked like they were possessed, lost their minds, and couldn't control themselves.
William didn't care. Any monster coming at him would simply die in his hands. As he retreated enough distance, he stopped, focused more on releasing his arrows.
This time, he didn't just release his arrows randomly. He made sure to let the monsters come at him through narrow paths and controlled the arrows to explode and limit any other path leading to him.
In a few minutes, the monsters packed around two thousand metres away from him, unable to advance thanks to the dense layer of fire that blocked their path. They tried to bypass the fire, ending up facing more arrows from him.
He knew he wouldn't be able to kill all the monsters trying to circle his fire, but the ones remaining alive would be heavily wounded and would come at him in a few numbers.
"Go and kill them," as he left two paths only for the monsters to pass through the fire, he released his two monstrous weapons and let them go to start the massacre, "thinking you can stop me using numbers? Let me show you how a single master can equal an army!"
He used a tactic that he could only use in this world, one that was once used by a formidable master a long time ago in the outer world.
