Chapter 1122 The Floating Rocks
The plan was simple, and yet it was still quite risky. They all knew they got it easy as William handled a large number of monsters in a short time. But when they'd stop here, they'd return to suffer once more.
But none complained. They all waited to see the grand effects of William's formations. They watched how he transformed Fang's technique, and how he formed a scary water dragon before.
As they got enticed by this, they all spread out, killed anything and anyone standing in their faces. They expanded fast, thanks mainly to the disorganised enemies coming at them. Yet soon enough, things started to slow down, as they faced more formidable foes, and their outer line got stretched thin, without being able to help each other.
"Fang, come here," William suddenly shouted, "and Sloth as well..." he started to pick names, calling on them one by one.
William knew such a situation could develop fast, deteriorate from having the upper hand and having it nice, all the way down to the rock bottom. So he didn't wait to lay down all the formations, didn't wait even to form many of them.
The moment he'd finish five of them, he'd call for the corresponding high end masters to come and activate them. "We'll take it slowly, a single attack per five minutes," he paused before adding, "I made more formations to support your other elements. Once done here, go there and activate others."
"Are we going to be the only ones to use these formations?!" Sloth was surprised by this, and yet William nodded against everyone's expectations and opinions.
"I'll support the help from one hundred high end masters, controlling around three hundred formations," he paused, before adding, "The rest will lead everyone to kill anything passing through or surviving your attacks for any given reason. Plus, the moment you exhaust your powers, you'll shift with others..."
His thoughts were quite on the spot, and everyone knew this despite feeling bitter about it. The ones who didn't have the chance to get into the first batch using these formations felt much regret and hoped that William to select them in the upcoming batch.
He only selected five this time, then he started to build more formations, calling more masters. He made sure he'd spread these formations at the outer edge of the zone controlled by them, scattering a few inside to act as the last line of defence if things went south.
But he never called anyone to use the deeper formations, leaving them for later, truly hoping they'd need to use them in any given situation.
The moment the first five took charge of their formations, things started to dramatically change. Fierce waves of attacks came out from these formations, and everyone started to leave parts which got hit by such brutal force.
Lightning shower, fire flood, or even a hurricane of metal needles... Lots of deadly techniques got amplified and augmented by these formations, showing a scope of power never imagined or seen before by anyone.
At the same time, William made sure to remind everyone using the formations to not sit by idly and rest. They needed to do as Fang once advised, trying to circulate this power in their bodies to get better results.
From the early moments these formations kicked in, and everything looked the same as when William used his Troll. Yet this time, the effect would last for hours! And that made everyone quite relieved, quite confident in taking down the nasty explosive formation hidden underground and escaping here without much harm.
When everything started to roll nicely, and as William finished building the entire three hundred mini-formations of his, he rubbed his hands, before turning towards the ground at the edge of this place.
He worked to build formations, while other masters started to dig the ground with the help of his monstrous weapons. The moment he ended, he went and checked on the current state of the digging process. n()OvelB1n
The entire group of masters here controlled an area that looked semi-circular in shape. It covered a total surface area of five kilometres square at first, and the widest point was at its base, where the digging process was.
The edge of this underground space was formed totally of rocks. It felt like they were standing at the bottom of a grand series of mountains, reaching from the ground all the way to cover up the sky.
The group of masters dug enough to reach a few hundred metres depth for five kilometres in length. They found lots of weird rocks, buried at different depths. What made these rocks remarkable and unique was their inability to move a single piece of them. And when they dug around these rocks, they ended up floating in the air, as if they were held by an invisible force or something.
Seeing this made William feel puzzled. "The floating ores aren't that rare, but what makes these special?" He knew these rocks were naturally gifted rocks from the outer world, able to float in place for aeons of years.
They could be moved when the right method would be used. But aside from being a pleasant sight to see, they usually have nothing special about them.
They couldn't store spirit power, nor release it. They couldn't be used in forging, and didn't have any special effects aside from defying the gravity and common laws of the world.
"We can't move them," one of the masters helping in the digging process said the moment he spotted William standing on the edge of this deep hole, "What shall we do then?"
"Nothing," William moved his eyes around, seeing the group of tens of floating rocks filling the empty space in that hole, "Keep digging and let me take care of this."
He knew this wasn't an answer to that master, to what others had in mind, but he needed time to investigate these rocks. As they were suspended at different heights, he started to dash around, standing on top of each one, trying to see what made them special to be there.
