So William ordered his four monstrous weapons to continue expanding the hole, even if they had to dig directly through the sides of the existing hole they dug already.
He didn't want to waste more time to expand the hole from the surface all the way to the bottom. So he let them form pillars to support the ground above the space they dug while waiting for them to expose enough rocks to reveal this mystery.
And during all this, Fang kept releasing his deadly lightning attack one time after another, while taking five minutes rest in between.
At the same time, all the high-end masters in this underground space saw what Fang was doing. They saw what William's monstrous weapons did, but didn't get what he aimed to do first until the lightning fell from Fang, and lit everything on the ground bright silver, white, and blue.
"The lightning-mad dog is going all out," Sloth rolled his eyes, feeling a weird itch about having such power, "When will the time come for me to wield such power? By then, no one will ever try to touch the kingdom!"
"Does something happen to William?" from the side, Anjie couldn't help but ask in worry, making Sloth roll his eyes.
"You need to learn how to control and behave yourself a little more about this youth! Doing this won't help you at all!"
"Doing what?!!" Anjie blinked before adding, "he isn't here! And it's normal for me to worry about him."
"Why?" Sloth asked in a sly tone, ending up for Anjie's cheeks to turn red. She shifted her eyes away from her mentor, knowing that he was teasing her.
"Don't worry, your fanboy is doing great, actually he is rocking it with Fang out there," Sloth motioned his head towards the direction of these two, "these loud bangs are all of their doing."
"I know it, he is quite strong, hahaha!" she laughed, making Sloth unable to say anything back for a few seconds.
"Let's focus on killing more of these enemies here," he turned his attention towards the dark masters trying their best to climb this tower, "I got the feeling that these two will end this little war in a day or two."
"It's my man who is going to do it, not this Fang," Anjie harrumphed, leaving Sloth speechless for the second time in a row. He wanted to tell her that Fang she was belittling was one of the top three masters in the entire world, a person that all the kingdoms and empires in the world were seeking his help and support.
And then he recalled the fact that the same Fang proposed to join William's guild, and the latter seemed to not be that welcoming to accept such an offer. He felt how weird this situation was for the first time when he thought about it in such a way.
"Anyway, you need to worry about your father as well," Sloth cleared his throat while clearing such thoughts from his mind, "he is up there, fighting against monsters."
"They are all weak," Anjie rolled her eyes, "and he isn't alone, he got all the big names who came with us."
"Are you for real?!!" Sloth blinked, and she shrugged.
"I'm just stating facts, this war here is quite hard to win, and we are supposed to lose it, lost most of us actually, right?"
"..." Sloth went speechless for the third time in a row, didn't know why this favourable girl of his turned into such a die-hard fan of William.
"Love really does miracles, and turns anyone stupid," he couldn't help but inwardly sigh, muttering to himself, before looking around. Even if he hated admitting it, he knew she had a point here.
This battle was a lost one if anyone considered the tons of enemies and how high their grades were. If not for William pulling one miracle after another, then they'd have lost their lives and wouldn't have thought about winning, instead, they'd think only about running away.
The king and the masters up there were indeed having it much easier than them. Since the disappearance of William and others, the king led everyone to take down monsters and dark masters around. He kept conquering one peak after another while facing great battles in his eyes.
The dark masters were hard to deal with, as they got the higher point advantage. And yet compared to the brutal fights down below, they were really having it so nice.
As the two sides were fighting desperately, William was busy trying to get the meaning of all these bright rocks on the ground. His monstrous weapons cleared a large area of dirt and rocks, exposing lots of shiny plates of rocks at the bottom.
"This can't be done in a short time, can't be done by dark masters at all…" William muttered after studying the shining ground for an hour. The rocks that lay in front of him were all identical in size, having a diamond shape, with three metres each in length between the two furthest nodes, and one metre between the closest nodes. Seeing this made him feel this place was found by the dark masters, and they decided to use it.
What made him think so was the perfect shape of all the shining rocks, not to mention this place was buried under a large amount of rocks and dirt. It didn't feel like this place was built by dark masters more than it was discovered by them.
"If that is true, then the secret isn't in this ground, but in something else laid on top of it…" he shifted his attention, and looked at the dirt and rocks his monstrous weapons removed so far.
They were piles in different spots on the surface. So he went up there and started to closely examine all this. "Sulphur… They got a faint odour of sulphur…" This was the first thing he noticed after going up there.
