Chapter 964 Asking Sloth For Help



"Don't tell me it's going to level up, reach that stage," William thought about this while starting to get why he didn't see any trace of that monster yet.

It wasn't on the surface, it was hiding deep inside that lava pool! The last step needed for humans and monsters to reach the pinnacle was dangerous. If anything happened, even if it was something tiny, it'd change everything.

The more he thought about it, the more he grew excited. He now understood why all these monsters were here, why the vegetation grew. The copious amount of spirit power released from that bear was enough to turn a barren land into a paradise! And that was what made William greatly excited.

Like this, the amount of spirit power he and others would gain was quite immense, much better than what he hoped for. At the same time, it was also a point to consider that this monster wasn't going to fight that hard, only at the beginning.

When they'd consume lots of that monster's spirit power, it'd grow crazy. It'd know there was no hope for it, and so it'd turn berserk. That made it very, very deadly. And William had to put this into his consideration.

Facing a scary beast that has nothing to lose? One that knew it had one leg passed the door of death? That was a true nightmare truly meant!

William prepared to suck dry that monster's spirit power, then planned to make a run with everyone else. But it now looked impossible to do it. To access that monster, they had to dive into the pool of lava or find a way to get that monster out. As things would go south, the monster would summon all the deadly lava beasts, ending up getting surrounded and massacred.

Running away before killing that monster wasn't going to happen. They had to take that monster down, and they needed to do it quite fast!

Realising all this changed the entire situation. He started to think back about the Scarlet monsters, and how to kill them properly without the presence of that yellow river.

He still gained many of these old weapons soaked with the yellow river aura. They were effective, but they wouldn't do anything useful here. That monster wasn't in its conscious state, wasn't sane. And that meant it wouldn't respond to any outer stimulus no matter what.

"We need explosive powerful attacks to take it down in a short time," William looked at the old masters who Sloth brought. For the first time, he felt appreciative that Sloth was such a stubborn master.

"I shouldn't let him know about this," William looked at Sloth and couldn't help but expect the future. It was impossible to let this old fox not notice the value of the old masters he brought over on the entire course of battle. And that meant Sloth was going to pester him for a long time, reminding him of the great help he did back then, and how deeply wrong William was.

The latter shoved away all these useless thoughts and focused on the task in hand. "There is almost an entire day before reaching that hole..." he considered the time they'd spend to arrive there and thought about how to better use it to prepare for the upcoming battle.

William didn't like to just depend on one single plan to win. So he planned to also make preparations for other masters following, making them able to help if something unexpected would happen.

"It'll take more time to organise all this... And formations won't even suffice... It's a tight spot indeed..."

He knew if the situation was different if these monsters and lava fountains didn't exist, then it'd be easier to organise their forces. But with everything happening right now, no one would ever pay any attention to sophisticated orders, not to mention training or something.I think you should take a look at

"They should be organised into two teams then," William found no other choice but to do so, "old man... Can your old man handle the pressure for an hour?"

"An hour? Against these monsters?" Sloth turned to William, seized him up and down, "what are you up to, sneaky little one?"

"I'm not running away!"

"Saying it doesn't help at all!" Sloth rolled his eyes, "come on, spill all the beans. Since you learnt about that lava lake and you changed. What do you know?"

William knew he would fail to trick Sloth even if he tried to. So instead of lying, he told a piece of the truth.

"That monster... It's in there."

"How can you tell that?!" Sloth turned to other old masters around, "We searched..."

"It's not on the surface, it's hiding underneath the lava," William interrupted Sloth, before adding, "so we need to change everything. To do so, I need you to shield us for as long as you can handle."

"Do you have a way to get it out from there?" one old master said, and Sloth sighed.

"He plans to take us down, right kid?" Sloth got to know William for long enough to get familiar with how this youngster was thinking. Any other master would think about luring that monster out, but William would prefer to crush the party and barge in.

"We have no choice this time," William turned around, "there isn't any time to waste. How long can you handle this?"

"If all of us worked together? Five hours, give or take," Sloth paused, before he evilly grinned, "I'm waiting to hear it from you!"

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "Hear what?" William's earlier conjuncture about Sloth proved to be right. This old man didn't intend to drop the matter, and even with such little help, he started to bark and pester him.

"I want to hear that you were wrong about us, we oldies aren't that useless, hahahaha!" Sloth laughed, and others laughed with him. It felt like Sloth spread the news over, and everyone learnt about William's previous opinion about them.
