To pass the gate, one had to jump high to reach it. It was hanging almost a hundred metres off the ground. Yet anyone jumping to be fifty metres away from it could pass directly through.
Not to mention there was some sort of suction power by the gate, facilitating such a pass. Before leaving, William made sure to check on everyone standing behind, making sure things were rolling nicely out there.
Two formations were drained, and the third was just activated. He knew they'd take around six up to nine more hours before they'd get done here. Then it'd be a hellish survival battle out there.
*Fwoosh!*
The moment William passed through the gate, and the world outside brightened up. It was already midday time, and all over the place, he could see lots of people. They were shouting, fighting, and building. He spotted traps, arrays, and even rudimentary defences being hastily built up there.
The gate opened in vast open plains, with a single big hill at a distance. The area was filled with tons of masters, and all around, there were shadows of dark masters and monsters fighting hard against them.
"They aren't slow to react," William muttered while hundreds of light pulps appeared all around him in no time.
"They already alarmed the forces in the area, great," the Nightmare monster's voice came from the side, pretty annoying to William.
"It's obvious they built a connection to a strong base of their dirty allies," William restored back, motioning towards the flying light bulbs hanging around him.
"Don't blame them, blame yourself for stirring the hornet nest when you aren't ready," the Nightmare monster snorted, "couldn't they keep their activity low? Build a few traps and defences here and there instead of wasting their effort and distracting their forces like this?"
"Get ready!" Just seven hours later, Fang and a few others appeared out of thin air. To William, they felt like they jumped from a small altitude, and landed on the ground. He thought the gate opened at the ground directly, but it released people from a point fifty metres up there.
"Enemies are coming," another high-end master shouted, warning other masters working around about what was coming towards them. William slowly opened his eyes, and took a deep breath, before standing up.
"Wake up, idiot, it's not time to sleep," he didn't spare the Nightmare monster from a kick, forcing that dude out of training as it got electrified by a bolt of lightning.
"Can't you have shouted instead? Damn you..."
"Get ready, you are going to fight on my side," William didn't give any heed to any of that monster's enraged words. In fact, it felt amusing to kick this monster's as* and force it out of training like this.
William took out the remaining monstrous weapons, spread the last standing of his flying weapon arsenal, and waited. He held his weapons, changed into his spirit body form, and armed up his tails with weapons.
"Can't you spare me from this?" from the side, the Nightmare monster tried to find a way out from doing this, "it's just weird how I'm going to attack my old allies..."
"As if you do care about any of your allies," William rolled his eyes, "consider them as weaker monsters, and you are eating them for lunch."
"Doesn't sound that bad when you say it this way," the Nightmare monster evilly laughed, "so, what's the plan?"
"Nothing, we'll wait for them to come out, hit them hard, and keep them confined here," William didn't know if this was the contingency plan the king and others devised or not. But to him, this was the simplest and most effective plan ever.
"We are going to fight freely then, let me go that way, and keep these enemies under check," the Nightmare monster pointed towards one direction, totally the opposite direction from where William was.
