Chapter 1085 The Wall
"Good lad," one of them nodded, while others smiled in satisfaction. Even when he won this battle, he didn't drop his guard, and didn't shift his eyes from the main goal behind this entire war.
They came here to find the source of trouble and take good care of it once and for all. And to do so, they needed to get out from this entrapment first, or there would be no end to the traps and attacks of monsters and dark masters.
"You did enough, if you want to go back and rest then..."
"No offence, esteemed master, but I have to go with you if you want to survive this," William interrupted the kind words of the old master, without showing any disrespect or anything, "This war is being orchestrated by a far more dangerous enemy than you may think. Let's go, I'm ready to move and fight anytime."
William moved and they had no other choice but to tag along. They were sincere in trying to help him out and were serious about giving him a well-deserved rest.
But William knew they wouldn't come back if he left them. Besides, he wanted to see who else was leading this war.
It didn't add up, all these preparations and machinations couldn't come from the Nightmare monster. Even if it had the knowledge, it wars.
William led them forward, while they kept scanning the area around didn't have the ability nor the means to do any of that.
As for the Transformers, they were a possible candidate, but they weren't that powerful enough and didn't have control over such large forces to build up such a trap here.
He saw it when the formations got ignited and things went bad for everyone in the mountains and in the valleys. It was as if the entire place was remodelled, got changed to suit the different scenarios of wars.
William led them forward, while they kept scanning the area around using spirit sense. For a reason, and at some point in the valley and mountains around, it felt like there was a wall blocking all of their senses.
"We need to see what's preventing us from seeing through," They were fighting while walking forward, and didn't have the time to chat a lot with each other.
Even if these monsters were weak, they greatly outnumbered them. They had to put all their effort there to make sure they cleared a path forward, and still, they felt they were walking slowly if not for William.
They could unleash deadly attacks, but they had to take a breath between each and every attack they released. As for William, he simply used thousands of flying weapons, his ten monstrous weapons, and himself on top of that.
He didn't use his grenades and arrows, as there was no need for such a thing. He got the help of a team of seven pinnacle stage masters, and they were enough to help shoulder any dangerous monster out there.
As they progressed, they found it quite harder to get closer to that wall. Monsters closer to that wall were quite ferocious, aided by tons of traps, and there was still the issue of falling rocks on top of their heads.
"We need to find a way to kill as many of them as we can," one of the old masters sighed, "The more we wasted time here, the more monsters appeared... We need to act faster."
This was indeed true, as they took roughly three hours to come near that wall blockage. They noticed the constant increase of monster numbers the more they stayed inside that valley.
"Can't you use your grenades?" one of them asked, and he couldn't help but say no by shaking off his head.
"If I did, the rocks would block our path, and we would find it harder to advance or retreat."
"You have the same bad omen, right?" another said, and William slowly nodded. He didn't like it when he thought about that wall. According to his knowledge, there weren't many things that could block the spirit senses of pinnacle stage masters. Even if the enemy used the knowledge from the outer world, they were still bound to the limited resources in this world.
So he was curious about that wall, knowing that it was one of the hardest lines of defences the enemy had built here. He wasn't sure if he'd find the Nightmare monster or any of the transformers beyond this wall, and he hoped his luck would be good and he'd end up meeting them.
As the team worked together, fighting harsh battles one after another, they finally came closer to the wall. The moment William saw it, he sucked a cold air of breath.
"This is the wall of silence... Damn!" He instantly recognised this wall right on the spot. It wasn't a wall that got built of rocks as everyone guessed, but one that was built of the collaborative spirit powers of tons of dark spirit masters.
"Do you recognise this?" one of the old masters said, before another stepped up, wanting to test this wall.
"No, don't do it," yet before that master would move a single step forward, William flashed and blocked the path forward, "This wall can absorb any spirit power no matter what, reinforce itself with it. It's in some way indestructible."
"Indestructible? Can't we use anything else to take it down? Like raw strength?"
"No," William slowly shook his head and pointed towards the wall while another batch of monsters appeared, passing directly through it, "This wall extends all over the area. My bet is that it's surrounding us inside, and that means no matter what, we can't touch it."
"Then... How can we get through it?!" The masters looked at each other, before sending three of them to handle the monsters while the other four spoke with William.
"I now know why we haven't seen a single dark master yet," William's tone suddenly turned icy cold, "We need to make a rough change in plans, in our strategy, we need to aim for the mountain peaks..."
