BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1194: Self-Detonation
William kept moving, and the monster chased relentlessly. After a while, he could feel the monster was starting to struggle. Its speed got lowered, and the spike attack frequency got diminished as well.
Less than ten minutes after feeling that, the monster moved all of sudden, heading out from William.
"It\'s running, roast it!" William roared, while chasing after that monster. He knew if he dared to go out of his formation range, then he\'d suffer the monster\'s nasty ability again. So, he moved five of his monstrous weapons, the closest to the monster, to stop it. And yet the monster was adamant at getting away from William no matter what.
His monstrous weapons unleashed lots of attacks, and yet the monster dashed through them without stopping. The black cloud that already had few gaps showed more gaps, and few of these were so deep to show the deeper parts of it.
William and Fang were using their spirit sense to watch the monster, and the two could finally lay an eye over what this monster really looked like through these gaps.
It wasn\'t huge, the same as William read before in the old records. It was how the tales described it, three metres tall, with a body that didn\'t look that threatening.
There was little muscle bulk out there. "Is this the bastard causing all this trouble to us?" Fang couldn\'t help but ask William using telepathy, and the latter could only nod.
Even if he read about that monster and heard stories about it, it was still another experience to take a glimpse on what it looked like. "It\'s growing weak by every minute," William jumped over what Fang was feeling, "roast it now! Don\'t give it a chance to heal."
"On it," Fang got distracted for a few moments there when he spotted what that monster truly looked like. But as there were holes leading directly towards the monster\'s real body, Fang focused his attacks over these gaps.
It wasn\'t easy, as the monster kept moving fast and rotating around itself to protect its weak spot. However, Fang persisted, and didn\'t show any mercy to the bastard. The lightning felt like a flood, and the monster eventually got hit by lightning, and got barbecued by the attacks.
William kept himself inside the protection of his formation without daring to take a single step forward. "It\'s almost time," he could see easily more gaps appearing at the black cloud surrounding the monster. These got created by Fang\'s attacks, and more were getting formed by every passing minute.
Fang also noticed the same, and that made him more excited in releasing his lightning attacks.
The monster started to roar in pain and anger, yet it had nothing in its power to do to stop this torment. The world was filled with tons of lightning arcs landing over it from Fang. and the only secured spot was William\'s formation, where it suffered hellish beating from William.
"It\'s about to fall asleep any minute now… Sh*t! It\'s losing control over the spirit power it absorbed!!" Just when William was excitedly shouting about the monster\'s soon to sleep state, something new developed.
The normal development was for the monster to lose its consciousness and end up falling asleep. And yet the monster seemed to take a different approach, letting all the spirit power it accumulated all this time loose, triggering something that looked like a scary explosion.
The black cloud that was covering up the monster, showing many holes in the past hour, was now shining weirdly by bright blue light. There were also flashes of lights that came dancing from within, as serpents of blue arcs, giving a very dangerous vibe.
The moment William spotted such changes, and his heart sank in his chest. He didn\'t need to go out there and inspect the monster thoroughly to know what was going on.
"It\'s about to self-detonate, we need to hurry and take it down," Fang also recognised what was going to happen, "we can\'t risk losing the precious core and materials of this bastard."
"We can\'t afford to let it explode and bring down the entire place with it," William roared, realising this wasn\'t the time to play safe, "let\'s go, you keep hitting all the lightning over that mfer, and I\'ll keep hitting it with everything I got."
William hoped during this moment of losing control over its abilities, the monster\'s ability would be weakened or gone. Yet when he stepped outside the protection of his formation, he realised he was wrong.
"Dammit! Even when it\'s going to die, it\'s still keeping hold over its ability…" the moment William went outside of his formation, he felt his spirit power getting sucked like running water leaking. Yet he didn\'t stop this time.
There was no time to retreat, and let his monstrous weapons handle the situation. He took out tons of elixirs, emptied them into his mouth, while releasing tons of his attacks over the monster.
This time the monster didn\'t fight back. It was already remarkable to keep its ability active during all this. The attacks flooded the monster from William and Fang, and every passing minute felt like an entire lifetime.
The two knew how to handle this critical situation. A normal monster in the dark gold grade would explode to take down an entire area of thousands of metres. And this monster was special as it absorbed tons of spirit power already.
Letting it explode was like letting tens of dark gold monsters explode together. Fang eyed the loot of the monster, and William eyed the safety and integrity of the portal.
