Chapter 1225: Getting Attacked
"I'm not speaking about how they got here. They came, and we fell into this trap. You saw them, they got three who could battle Fang and win over him!"
"What do you mean?!" Berry looked in confusion, and what that master said next added another layer of mystery towards what she and the team suffered from in the past twenty-four hours.
"I mean if they wanted, they could have killed all of us! But so far, they just pushed us to this trap area and let us fall into these pits. They didn't do anything else, as if they were watching us from above, as if… They are waiting for something… Or someone…"
"William!" as if the answer was clear in front of her, Berry jumped to this conclusion. Everyone around looked at her in doubt, as it was famous how she held William high in her heart.
"It's William," but unlike what everyone expected, she didn't jump to this conclusion out of her feelings towards him, "this situation, everything… It's similar to how things happen when he is around. Yes, it's him, they are waiting for him, but…"
As she was speaking out of deep experience with William, her heart feelings kicked in and she couldn't continue her words. She saw how Fang, the strongest master she ever saw in her life, struggled and even lost against those masters. And that meant if William came in, a worse fate would happen, something that she couldn't even think about.
This talk happened also at many places around, where William's friends and guild top members were trapped in various holes. No matter how they tried, it was impossible for any to leave these pits.
Few tried to use wind elements and techniques to cross the distance to the top. But whenever they did that, they got immediately attacked by the mysterious masters guarding the area.
"We need to be patient and wait," this was what everyone agreed on. They knew William was far away from here, training and waiting for their return.
But the wait would be over at some point. If he grew impatient and noticed their absence and delay, he'd surely come here and check on things.
So they all knew he was going to be here in the future, never thought he was already heading towards them.
"He is coming!" Just outside the pits, a group of middle-aged men and women turned their heads towards a certain direction, "you know what to do, bring him alive, harmed or not it doesn't matter."
"Yes ma'am," the group bowed slightly towards a very beautiful lady, then they moved fast and vanished.
"Don't take it on me," the lady turned her eyes slightly over towards a corner, where the body of a young girl was lying there. The girl looked as if she was in deep sleep, enjoying a happy dream, "she is even dreaming about you over and over again, tsk!"
The lady clenched both fists tightly before her face showed a very serious look. She moved her spirit sense, looked towards the incoming youngster she was looking for. Exclusive content from m,v le
William passed through the barrier, but he lost his spirit body. It took a toll of effort and spirit power to get past the barriers.
He took out a spirit regeneration potion and drank it. Then he felt like he was a fish returning to the ocean. His spirit sense that was stopped before was fully released, working on full cylinders. He could see everything for tens of miles. And there he spotted something that forced him to stop.
"This…" he saw pits, new things that weren't present here before. Inside these, he found his friends and guild members. They looked fine, but the idea of them being there meant one thing.
"They captured them, to try and threaten me or what?" he held his sword tighter while his rage was boiling inside his body. It didn't need a genius to tell him what was going on. This foreign group of masters came and held his friends and guild members hostages. If they wanted, they could have killed them. But they didn't. And that meant one thing.
"They were waiting for me?" William moved his spirit sense around, and soon enough he spotted that lady, and the unconscious friend of his on the ground.
"I know you can hear me," even if he felt enraged at the moment, William controlled himself well enough to say these words as if he was squeezing them out of his mouth, "don't hurt her, I'm coming over for you."
"Hmm, let's see if you have the option in the first place to come or not," the lady evilly smirked. Seeing this made William realise what was going on.
In a flash he activated his spirit body. But the next moment, he felt a gust of wind coming at him.
"Damn! This fast? Must be wind and lightning elements together!" he didn't hesitate to retreat, back down and create a distance between him and the attackers.
But the moment he moved, they followed. "This won't work," one of them shouted, and William already realised this.
"Then let me push my path forward with force!" William roared, and the next moment he activated his Hole Sword technique. He flashed fast, as fast as the incoming masters.
"Something seems off!" William used to how he'd outpace his enemies in terms of speed. Yet for a reason, every time he targeted someone, that person moved one beat earlier, evading his incoming attack.
"Are they reading my mind or something?" William didn't think too much about this. He could tell these masters were weirdly familiar with the way he fought with and were quite prepared to welcome his technique.
But overall, this didn't matter. As he kept flashing, the masters finally opened a path for him to pass through and he didn't let such chance escape him.
"We won't let you leave!" one of them roared, and all he got was a loud laugh from William.
