BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1192: Keep It Busy
"Sh*t! I totally forgot about that!" Fang instantly recalled how William struggled to keep up with that monster using arrays. And William had lots of helpers, and Fang was alone, "but the lightning formations…"
"Just forget about it," William knew Fang was worried about the materials, "will compensate you."
"I'll hold you responsible for your words," Fang promised, and then he gushed out one more attack, then left the formation while it kept releasing its lightning.
Without his guidance and control, the lightning just hit randomly. Luckily its area of coverage shrunk and that saved William and his monstrous weapons a big deal of trouble.
William thought the monster would drop the idea of taking Fang down the moment the latter left the formation and stopped hitting it. Yet as Fang wanted the monster to drop its interest in him, lightning kept falling, and that seemed to stir that monster up. And that made the monster more focused and determined to get Fang.
Yet Fang wasn't like William, he wasn't close to the monster in the first place. In terms of power and speed, Fang outplayed William by miles, and also triumphed over the monster.
The gigantic black cloud moved fast after Fang, but it couldn't close the gap even. William finally got the chance to heave a deep sigh of relief, as the area of effect of the monster's nasty ability finally got away from William.
As he finally got rid of such a nuisance, he didn't take this chance lightly. He knew sooner or later the monster would come back to its senses and drop the idea of killing Fang.
The lightning didn't end yet, but it was soon about to. William gave the monster a few minutes before it'd dropped the idea of getting Fang. and That meant he had around ten up to twenty more minutes.
"It's time to prepare for the final show," William shifted his attention away from this useless chase, and looked at the remaining monstrous weapons, "sigh! It feels like I'm using shitty materials to build you, not just too precious materials… What a waste!"
This wasn't the first time to lose monstrous weapons in any fight, but this was by far the greatest loss of them. And he knew more would fall at the last encounter before that monster would fall.
Yet that didn't stop him. He controlled these tools and let them start building something. "The greatest risk is for that monster to go berserk and aim to bring down the entire place…" he muttered to himself, pinpointing the highest danger he had to solve first.
The entire underground space was already too huge to control or support using any formation. If he had time, enough manpower, and materials, he'd aim towards such a goal. But he was limited in everything, and that made him improvise.
Instead of thinking about making useless formations to support the entire place, he decided to go for something different. "Without the ability to release your power outside, you'll be like a trapped dragon, with its wings cut off," he looked at the finished formation made by his weapons and nodded in satisfaction.
"Time to build formation for that nasty ability," William checked, and even when lightning stopped coming, that monster still stubbornly chased after Fang. it seemed it got more hurt than what William imagined, and it was still in berserk mode.
"Keep chasing the rabbit," William evilly laughed, while his monstrous weapons worked hard to finish a grand formation this time. He had no chance to build such a big formation before, or else he'd have a much easier time dealing with this monster.
The spirit generation formation wasn't like the arrays. The formation could absorb and condensate spirit power inside as long as its materials didn't run out of power. And in the middle of building it, William got the inspiration to add a little touch, letting his weapons work extra and build little arrays in the middle of that formation.
These were aimed to supplement part of the gathered spirit power back to the materials. Like this, it'd be as if he built an eternal formation that could last as long as the world stood.
This wasn't done for the monster, but for the portal. William wanted to solve the problem the monster caused once and for all, just in case more unforeseen dangers came for the portal in the future.
He planned to go into a serious training period, where he'd train himself and his carefully picked team. The team he'd select would be the one who'd go with him to the tournament, and also the one who'd accompany him out from here to the new world.
He needed to carefully pick great talents and focus heavily on training every one of them. That meant he'd have little time to come and check on the portal, worst to keep guarding it from risks like this monster.
He still didn't know how the monster managed to get its way here, passing through the upper city, going through the heavily secured gates towards here, without getting spotted.
"It doesn't matter, my best guess is that there is another entrance elsewhere here, something away from the doors leading to here…" William muttered to himself while his monstrous weapons were working over building offensive and defensive formations this time.
"Keep it busy, don't let it come back now," just when he noticed the monster's sluggish chase after Fang, William knew the monster was waking up from that weird state. It wasn't the right time for it to come here, and William needed more time for that.
"Do you take me for a punching bag? I don't know why it kept chasing me like a mad dog all this time, and I don't know if I can keep it after me…"
"Just build a formation and rain lightning over it."
