Yet Sara's mother already spread her masters over a huge area, making them isolated from each other. In addition to using them to activate the formation, William also depended on Sara's mother to scatter them over the area, separating them, and making it hard and pretty impossible to destroy the formation.
"Get ready," seeing what his enemies were doing made William evilly laugh, "our friend from far is about to get her warm welcoming ceremony. Do it!"
The formation was some sort of both sealing and weakening formations. Its main foundation was laid already out there, but the main controllers were selected masters from the guild.
William didn't interfere in picking them, yet he advised his friends to pick the gold grade masters, leaving the dark gold ones to fight the enemies. As for the weaker masters, their role was to support any needs both groups of masters needed.
Everyone was waiting for his signal. And the moment he gave the order, everyone started to move.
The ground which was filled with explosions suddenly got lit up. "What trick did you use this time?" seeing this myriad of lights made Sara's mother suspect what was going on. She looked around in vigilance, and yet nothing else happened.
The lights were mainly cyanish, dancing at the distant sky as if they were some sort of fireworks. She didn't get what happened at first, thought that William was just playing useless tricks on her and others.
Yet when she tried to spread her spirit sense, she noticed how limited she could reach. It was new to her, and noticing this made her look at these dancing lights in more vigilance.
"This is a weakening formation," she shouted, "let's gather up..."
That was why dealing with such formation was always easy once one put in their minds the possibility of its existence. Just having a few masters wait away to destroy it from the outside was enough. But now she has no such hidden group to help.
The only hope now was for the masters on her side to manage to destroy part of the formation and get out. She knew William would never kill her, but that wasn't the same about her masters.
She could bring more if they got killed, and yet if all of the top masters she brought were gone, it'd still be a big problem to replace them in a short time. Not to mention she'd be looked down at the palace, perhaps even getting mocked at.

Not to mention the time wasted in doing this, which would give William more time to adapt and prepare more tricks. She started to grow wary of him, seeing him as a worthy rival, not just a useless youngster in such a low world.
William knew how hard it was to entrap such a group of strong masters. And yet his aim from doing this was to cut a good chunk of Sara's mother power.
He wanted to chop enough, not to make her feel threatened to ask for more assistance, but also not enough to make her feel overconfident. And as he expected, after half an hour the masters entrapped managed to break the formation and free themselves and hers.
He never intended to attack her. In fact, he saw her as a priceless asset, one he'd aim to recruit slowly to his side. Doing this was quite dangerous and tricky, after all Sara's mother was someone nasty and treacherous.
During that half an hour, the guild masters managed to kill almost half of the masters entrapped. Most of this was thanks to Fang and other high-end masters who used William's brutal and special formations to augment their spirit elements and techniques.
Sara's mother recognised the formations these masters used. She already saw Fang using it before, thinking it was a fluke of luck for that old master. She mistook what Fang showed as finding a relic in an old site, without knowing what exactly he was doing.
