"Sht!" William cursed out loud when he heard her words. He knew his attempt failed, and so his mind spinned hard and fast, looking for a way to turn this situation around.
Calling for Fang, Sloth, and other high-end masters on his side wasn't going to work. They were far away from him, separated by tons of enemies that they had to kill their path through to get to him. He was sure he wouldn't survive long enough for them to catch up to him. And even if they did, they'd suffer lots of casualties in the process.
"Screw it! I'll play it dirty as well then," as there was no other option left, William decided to take the hardest route. As he was in midair for the third time, he managed to catch the attention of three Chimeras, while the rest finally noticed his presence and actions.
William jumped in the air, high enough to throw one of his attacks on the Chimeras. Hitting them once was enough to lure them over, and he finally managed to get the attention of all the seven Chimeras over to him.
The moment his feet touched the ground, he kept dashing in zigzag lines, evading all the incoming attacks from the monsters.
It was easy at first, as there weren't many enemies around. But soon enough, he found himself in the middle of tons of enemies, and they seemed to not care about the monsters more than about him.
"Fck off!" He wasn't in the mood to worry about such flies. So he changed into his monstrous form, kept dashing left and right, accumulating attacks on his tails.
Yet he didn't release them on the masters, but the monsters chasing him. He didn't want to run away fast to drop the focus of the monsters on him. So he kept attacking them from time to time, while making sure he wouldn't bring them deadly attacks.
Even if the Chimeras were very deadly, Lingerie's masters managed to slay three of them. On top of that this happened from the weaker masters here, not the elite coming to her side.
William knew only seven Chimeras wouldn't be enough to threaten the incoming masters, but at least they'd bring enough trouble and chaos. And so, he kept dashing forward, heading towards Lingerie.
Instead of showing worry on his face as he knew the abilities of this formation, he only showed a look of victory on his face. "Activate the formation!" Seeing such look after hearing what he said drove more eagerness into Lingerie's spirit to activate the formation and safeguard herself.
The formation was strong against single enemies, William knew that. But what she missed wasn't the Chimeras as her guards were worried about, but William's true intentions in the first place!
William was drawing closer to her on steady steps and pace, and yet his attention was focused on another spot than hers. And when she activated the formation and expected him to start his attack, things shifted all of sudden!
William dashed like always, looking as if he was evading an incoming fire attack from the Chimeras. Yet when he changed his direction, he didn't alter it with another dash. Instead, he pushed forward onto the same direction, heading away from Lingerie's spot.
"What the actual fck...!!!" just when he dashed for the fourth time, she was sure he wasn't coming to her. Just taking a broader look by her spirit sense and she could tell what William intended to do!
"He... He is targeting our incoming powerhouses!" she wasn't the one to say it, but one of her guards did, "that's bad!"
This was indeed the worst situation ever for them! Her top masters abandoned the fights they had, hurried all the way to her side, running with their fastest speed.
Their top priority was to come to her side as fast as possible. And that made them distanced, not grouped, and that made them easy targets to hunt by William and the Chimeras chasing him!
When William changed his direction, the Chimeras followed. William's first targets were a group of distanced twenty-seven masters, the closest ones to here.
The moment Lingerie and her guards realised what was happening, the incoming masters also realised this. But the ones William targeted had no room to change anything, and in the mere span of five minutes, all of them were killed by the wrathful attacks of the Chimeras!
