Chapter 1195: Competing Over The Monster's Core
"Come on, don't be stubborn and die already," William gritted his teeth while most of the black cloud surrounding the monster was already gone. Most of the monster's body appeared clearly to him and Fang, and they focused their attacks over these parts.
However, as the monster was progressing in detonating its core, the berserk spirit power added a layer of protection for the monster. The attacks landed, and only little damage was left behind.
"F*ck it! I'll come and take it down personally," at some point, Fang could feel the urge to take this monster down as fast as possible. He had to stay way behind because of the risk that monster's ability posed. But right now, it didn't matter anymore.
The monster was this close from dying, and as William adapted, he was ready to. He flashed for a few times, crossing the distance between him and the monster, then started to issue a torrent of his attacks non-stop.
As he personally joined, the marks and wounds left behind got much deeper. William started moving right and left, flashing alongside Fang, while the two released their strongest attacks without caring even about coordinating together.
It wasn't a battle that could be won by teamwork at this moment, but it was like a race against this monster.
"It's almost there," Fang roared, "move aside, I'll release my mightiest attack…"
"Together," William could tell this was a delicate moment. The monster was roaring faintly under their barrage of attacks. And the critical point of the detonation was almost there. The lights coming out from this monster were now expanding in a pulsing way, a sign that this monster was so close to releasing everything out.
Everything looked as if it was running in the same direction, and the fastest to achieve its goals would win. William knew Fang's intentions, as the latter eyed the core of the monster more than anything else.
As the two came to such a stage, even William eyed that core. He'd need something to combine with his spirit, something that'd add something cool to his overall powers.
If he managed to snatch the core and merge later with it, then there was a good chance for him to gain a heaven defying ability. Absorbing spirit power from his enemies would be a great ability. At the worst cases, he'd be able to release attacks that'd suck spirit power dry from his enemies and weaken them.
Fang gave William a side glance, as if he was telling him he warned him to step aside. The next thing he did was to release a really strong attack filled with lightning.
The attack gathered up, forming a hurricane of lightning. It wasn't like a thunderstorm, but a thunder hurricane.
The moment it fully formed, it started to rip apart anything in a radius of hundreds of metres. Fang wasn't lying, the attack was indeed his strongest, aside from the one released by the aid of William's formation.
Yet when he took a look at William using his spirit sense, he was surprised to see William standing fine. Then it hit him. "Damn! You are releasing a lightning technique to aid mine and let it not harm you?!!"
Fang was sure even if William had lightning elements within his spirit, he wasn't going to make it. Even if he wanted to get the core and other precious materials of the monster, he wouldn't stand idle and watch William throw his life away.
He was prepared to intervene and kick William out of the way of harm at any moment. And yet what welcomed him was William standing like nothing affected him, not only intact without any expected harm, but also was slowly walking towards the monster step by step.
"Back off! This monster's core and materials are mine!" Fang was well aware of William's intentions from the moment the latter decided to stay behind. And then he started to walk as well towards the monster while roaring like this using spirit telepathy.
Even if the two were close from each other, the deadly technique of Fang made it impossible for William to hear him if he shouted.
"Are you sure you want to step in?" against what Fang predicted, William didn't even halt in his steps, simply replying using telepathy as well, "this technique of yours isn't easy to handle or control. It's better for you to focus on it, or else you'll end up suffering a backlash."
"Screw you!" Fang was about to take another step when he felt what William already anticipated and warned against. This technique was quite domineering, and that was why it needed full attention and control from Fang over it. Or else the technique would lose much of its power and deal a severe backlash to him.
If that happened, the dying monster would find another chance to finish its killer move and detonate. Being this close from it and suffering from a backlash on top of that would mean a bitter end for Fang.
The old master got through all this quite fast, and he knew he had no choice but to focus on controlling his technique. "I would love to see how you are going to get…"
*Fwoosh!*
Just before he'd continue his words, Fang watched bolts of lightning coming from outside, heading towards William in a flash. They were William's monstrous weapons, and at this point, William called them back, ready to redeploy them.
He knew even if the monster was down and weak, it was hard for him to take it down without going into huge risk. And the odds of failure were quite high. So instead of taking the toll himself, he summoned all the remaining monstrous weapons, and then redeployed them around.
"Go!" he got a narrow window here, and so he moved alongside his monstrous weapons. Alongside behemoths like these, he had enough security to get his way through the pulsating powerful surges of spirit power coming from the monster.
