To pass the gate, one had to jump high to reach it. It was hanging almost a hundred metres off the ground. Yet anyone jumping to be fifty metres away from it could pass directly through.


    Not to mention there was some sort of suction power by the gate, facilitating such a pass. Before leaving, William made sure to check on everyone standing behind, making sure things were rolling nicely out there.


    Two formations were drained, and the third was just activated. He knew they''d take around six up to nine more hours before they''d get done here. Then it''d be a hellish survival battle out there.


    *Fwoosh!*


    The moment William passed through the gate, and the world outside brightened up. It was already midday time, and all over the ce, he could see lots of people. They were shouting, fighting, and building. He spotted traps, arrays, and even rudimentary defences being hastily built up there.


    The gate opened in vast open ins, with a single big hill at a distance. The area was filled with tons of masters, and all around, there were shadows of dark masters and monsters fighting hard against them.


    "They aren''t slow to react," William muttered while hundreds of light pulps appeared all around him in no time.


    "They already rmed the forces in the area, great," the Nightmare monster''s voice came from the side, pretty annoying to William.


    "It''s obvious they built a connection to a strong base of their dirty allies," William restored back, motioning towards the flying light bulbs hanging around him.


    "Don''t me them, me yourself for stirring the ho nest when you aren''t ready," the Nightmare monster snorted, "couldn''t they keep their activity low? Build a few traps and defences here and there instead of wasting their effort and distracting their forces like this?"


    "Shut up," William rolled his eyes, "move, we won''t stay here."


    He instantly dashed forward. He knew the situation was hot on all fronts, as he inspected it using his spirit sense just now. There were tons of enemiesing, flooding this ce from the hill in the distance. But that wasn''t a big threat, not yet.


    Even if they came hot, they were stilling from a single direction. And that left most of the shes pointed in one direction mainly, the hill''s direction.


    William was exhausted and wounded, tired of fighting for such a long time. And in such a stage, his efforts weren''t that needed. The main goal of everyone here wasn''t to crush the enemy but buy themselves enough time before reinforcements would arrive.


    The main challenge they had to deal with wasn''t actually the enemiesing from the hill, but the ones about toe from the direction of the gate. That was also why he decided to take a step back, rest and recuperate until such a thing would happen.


    He didn''t leave the perimeter of the gate area. He moved for five hundred metres, before sitting on the ground, closing his eyes, and training.


    "Can''t believe you are training in such a situation… Weirdo…" The Nightmare monster mulled over William''s actions, and yet thetter didn''t even shake an eysh for what he heard.


    William wasn''t actually training, he was resting. But trying to sleep in the middle of such an outrageous and bloody battle would raffle lots of masters and make them feel ufortable.


    So he decided to take the stance of training while waiting for thest batch of high-end masters toe out, then the enemies would flood next.


    If it was up to him, he''d prefer to take a long nap. Even training was much better than just forcing himself to stay awake and not sleep. Yet he had to keep himself like that, waiting for the enemies toe.


    In the next few hours, lots of masters kept working around. William kept himself awake by watching their moves. As for the Nightmare monster, it showed no interest in any of that, mimicked William at some point, sat on the ground and trained.


    "Get ready!" Just seven hourster, Fang and a few others appeared out of thin air. To William, they felt like they jumped from a small altitude, andnded on the ground. He thought the gate opened at the ground directly, but it released people from a point fifty metres up there.


    "Enemies areing," another high-end master shouted, warning other masters working around about what wasing towards them. William slowly opened his eyes, and took a deep breath, before standing up.


    "Wake up, idiot, it''s not time to sleep," he didn''t spare the Nightmare monster from a kick, forcing that dude out of training as it got electrified by a bolt of lightning.


    "Can''t you have shouted instead? Damn you…"


    "Get ready, you are going to fight on my side," William didn''t give any heed to any of that monster''s enraged words. In fact, it felt amusing to kick this monster''s as* and force it out of training like this.


    William took out the remaining monstrous weapons, spread thest standing of his flying weapon arsenal, and waited. He held his weapons, changed into his spirit body form, and armed up his tails with weapons.


    "Can''t you spare me from this?" from the side, the Nightmare monster tried to find a way out from doing this, "it''s just weird how I''m going to attack my old allies…"


    "As if you do care about any of your allies," William rolled his eyes, "consider them as weaker monsters, and you are eating them for lunch."


    "Doesn''t sound that bad when you say it this way," the Nightmare monster evillyughed, "so, what''s the n?"


    "Nothing, we''ll wait for them toe out, hit them hard, and keep them confined here," William didn''t know if this was the contingency n the king and others devised or not. But to him, this was the simplest and most effective n ever.


    "We are going to fight freely then, let me go that way, and keep these enemies under check," the Nightmare monster pointed towards one direction, totally the opposite direction from where William was.
