The first thing William made was to move half of his monstrous weapons, ten, directly towards the expected directions that monster would hit in the next few minutes.
He had few ideas, but as time was tight, he decided to go with something that could mess the monster's plans; using earth elements to strengthen the area, and also act to cover up what the monster would do.
At the same time, he moved three towards the holes the monster dug. If these holes were important for the monster, then he'd try his best to ruin it.
*Roar!*
"It's targeting my monstrous weapons?" The moment William sent those three out, the monster stopped hitting the holes it was making, and landed over one of them and destroyed it in one hit.
William expected the monster to defend its holes, but the monster moved faster than he thought, and that made him question if the monster was going to do anything initially or this was all a trap.
"It's getting harder to deal with monsters," William paused before he showed an evil smile, "yet the goal of all this isn't to kill that bastard, it's to stall time fortunately," he laughed while finding a way to waste more time with that monster.
It was nearly impossible to tell where that monster would hit next as it got insane speed. And yet, there was something that William noticed during the past few minutes.
Every single time that monster would make a move, it had to roar and then attack. So roaring became like an alarm signal for William, and every single time the monster roared, he called back all of his monstrous weapons at the frontline.
He wanted to take out all of the weapons, yet his intuition told him against it. So he just took five, the lowest number enough to make him move away fast enough.
Every monstrous weapon would take a few seconds to lay down a single array, then they'd move and lay others down. William had a path protected by arrays, ending up taking him away from the monster by two kilometres before the monster started to act.
The first thing the monster did was to start rotating. From this far, it appeared as if a gigantic black cloud was amassing power, ready to start a violent thunderstorm.
The rotating speed started to rise fast, and William couldn't help but feel the pressure. "It's accumulating spirit power from the pyramids... Damn!"
From his position, William could see the flashes of light moving like bullets, heading too fast towards that black cloud. The more it received, the bigger it grew, and more pressure Willaim felt.
The entire place William was in had no source of light from outside. Yet like the underground city, it got shining rocks illuminating the entire space here.
Right now, all the lights seemed to dim, as if the monster was negatively impacting everything with its growing dark mass.
"What does it want to do? I don't feel good about any of that," William thought before that this monster would pull a trick to force him out then snipe him down. And yet that didn't happen. Instead, it felt like the monster grew tired of this place, and wanted to take it down.
He knew the monster wasn't as strong as he expected, but it didn't mean it was weak. The monster was at early stage dark gold grade at least, or perhaps at the same level of power as him.
And that meant if that monster directed its full power to attack this place, bad things would happen. This space wasn't supported by any pillars, and it was just sustaining itself based on the natural phenomenon that formed it.
