Chapter 1183: The Double Element Monster
The first thing William did was to let Charley activate a technique using a light element. The moment he did so, the world down there brightened up, and there William managed to get a glimpse of what was down below.
"Damn! The Gluttonous Berserk? Out of all things, that troublesome dude is down there?!!!"
The moment William took a glimpse of what was down below and he instantly recognised it. It was nothing else but an infamous monster, one which got the ability to madly absorb spirit power and consume it from anything.
There were monsters which could absorb spirit power from living creatures. Be it humans or monsters, they could get their spirit power depleted. And yet this had to follow certain conditions and situations, and mostly would require the monster to harm the target, let him bleed, so it could absorb the spirit power.
Yet this monster was different. It didn't need to do any of that, all it needed to do was to lay in slumber and sleep, and it could absorb spirit power from a certain radius.
If it got awakened, then it could increase the threshold of such an area ten fold. And yet there was a limitation over this. It couldn't continue absorbing spirit power for more than one hour, then it had to either shut down such ability, or go to slumber.
Yet that didn't mean this monster was weak or easy to deal with. Its sole weak spot was this one hour window, and the main challenge for anyone was to last for such a period.
"If I knew earlier, I would have never stirred that mfer," William cursed while retreating as fast he could. He used his dash technique and crossed one kilometre with every dash. Yet in the next few seconds, something gushed out from the hole.
"Poor Charley, you always get wrecked bro," William looked back as he saw a fountain of something glistering in blackness getting out from the hole like a sent out rocket.
It was that monster, and it went without saying that Charlie got it hard from this dash. William had his connection with Charley severed, and that was enough to tell him what happened to that lad.
*Roar!*
The next moment, a gigantic behemoth stood in midair, looking like a giant black cloud just got closer to the ground here. William looked at that behemoth, while thick pillars of smoke started to rise from its body, moving around like snakes. "It's awakened, just one disturbance and it's awake, f*ck!"
He looked around, the area was filled with pyramids without showing an end to them. Many already got their arrays, but the majority didn't. "I expect no help is going to appear here," he mulled over this, while knowing this wasn't a bad luck of his.
Even if high end masters appeared here, there was no guarantee for them to emerge unscathed from this clash. "First things first, I need to prepare arrays fast," the first move he did wasn't to run, as running away was futile at this moment.
Instead he ordered his twenty-one monstrous weapons to start building arrays as fast as possible. He didn't watch them work, as all his senses were focused over that gigantic monster.
"It's amazing how little things can use such power and show off such strength," he clenched his weapons, while looking at the monster in midair that kept roaring for the past minute.
It didn't have wings, William was sure of that. Even if never met one of these before in his past life, the drawing of that monster was quite famous. This one was known as the death ambassador for most masters in the outer world. Only few could dare to call themselves worthy of fighting and killing it.
The most remarkable note of this was that this monster wasn't actually that huge. Its real body wasn't any bigger than a human's body. And yet it has the ability to use the absorbed spirit power to his advantage, utilising it to condense such fake mass around.
And this mass didn't work for intimidation only, it also worked to defend the real body of the monster, and add a tremendous strength to its attacks.
"If I recall it right, this monster has darkness and lightning elements, one of the rare monsters to combine an antagonising element to darkness…"
Darkness element was enough to add a scary speed to the monster. Yet with lightning there, this monster wasn't just fast, but was also quite explosive.
The condensed absorbed spirit power mass helped in stabilising such conflict between the two elements. And that made any attack incoming from it very deadly and highly explosive.
"I see you are ready now," after two minutes, the monster stopped roaring, stood in midair, without any sign of its face or eyes. Yet William was sure this monster was glaring at him, and it'd attack at any given time.
"Best defence is offence, let's see how you'll fight me here," William snorted, waved an arm, and all of his monstrous weapons spread around.
They weren't strong enough to compete and fight against this behemoth. On top of that, they already finished building the arrays around him. And it was time for them to do something else.
*Roar!*
"Here we go," William couldn't feel any pressure coming from the monster for ten minutes. And it seemed the monster realised its biggest weapon got nerfed and had zero impact on William.
Thanks to the arrays his monstrous weapons built, the spirit power he had didn't get depleted in a flash. Instead, he felt like there was some sort of a battle between him and that monster, a battle where his spirit power kept hitting the bottom and rising to the top in the blink of an eye.
The moment the monster roared, it flashed forward. All William could see was a big black cloud, moving like a bolt of lightning, while it started to get ignited with lots of lightning arcs.
