"Do you think I can do this?" Fang felt like William sat his eyes over the bag he gained from Lara. And that made him feel a little insecure.
"Don't worry, I can compensate you," William laughed when he realised what made Fang sceptical, "or Lara can, after all she owns the entire city."
"Ok," Fang hesitated for a few moments before he made up his mind. He saw the monster stopping. He couldn't see through the black cloud surrounding the monster, but he was sure the monster was about to return to aim at William.
Fang was keeping his focus over the monster all the time, but that didn't mean he didn't follow what William and the latter's monstrous weapons were doing. So, he knew William was in the middle of making his final preparations to take the monster down, and he just needed a little extra time.
"Screw it," Fang acted the moment the monster started to fly fast towards William. He took out materials and built the lightning formation fast before the monster even crossed two kilometres away.
Then lightning fell, and the moment that happened, the monster stopped and roared. Fang swore he felt like getting focused by two gigantic eyes for a brief second there, a moment that made him feel a rare chill down his spine.
"F*ck! Why did I listen to that mad lad's words?" In the next minute, Fang couldn't help but curse. The moment he activated the formation, the monster came fast, forcing him to ditch the new formation he made and make a run for his life.
Or else he'd suffer from the same fate as William from earlier. Fang couldn't believe he just used his precious materials to end up throwing them away like they were nothing.
"Come, let me see how long you'll keep standing on your feet," William knew the monster was this close from crushing down. It should have entered a deep slumber an hour ago, and what kept it standing on its feet so far was burning its spirit power.
So, the battle could end smoothly by stretching it out as long as he could. As he already sat in a big formation here, he got to the last area to move around without fearing over losing his spirit power.
Even with such a big formation, the presence of such a behemoth here took almost half of the entire space available for him. So, William had to move around in little areas, while keeping an eye over his monstrous weapons.
That monster showed intentions before to target his monstrous weapons, and he didn't want to lose any of them anymore. The moment the monster came to him, William started to dash around, using his techniques all the time, while fighting freely for the first time ever in this battle.
From the beginning, he was on the defensive side. This time was different. He finally could use his offensive techniques without any worry in his life. The battle finally came down to the familiar turf, the one where he just needed to move fast, evade the incoming attacks of the monster, while raining down attacks on it.
The only downside of this was that Fang couldn't follow the monster and attack it inside William's formation. If he did, the formation would crumble and fall apart.
"Let it out, I want to roast it!" Fang said to William using telepathy, and yet the latter didn't respond or comply. If he tried to do it, then he'd risk suffering to lose his spirit power again.
And through the past half an hour, William could tell the monster was pushing over its limits for kilometres. It was moving so fast that annoyed William. He knew if he dared to go out, he'd take much longer than expected to come back into the protection of the formation.
That was why he closed an eye over what Fang said, making the latter grow a little mad. "Damn you boy, you are ruining another precious set of materials for nothing!" he fumed with rage, and yet he had nothing in his power to do.
