The dash didn''t take more than a second, and yet it felt like a year to him. William could hear the cracking noises of the weapons on his side, as they got hit badly from the monster''s spirit power. At the same time, he used his deadliest technique, and dashed forward towards one direction, the monster''s belly point.


    During all this time, he kept looking for the most suitable ce for the core to be. He knew much information about the monster, but there was no lead about where its core was located, as no one killed it before.


    So, he kept closely watching, looking for any sign for the ce of this core. The core is the richest ce with spirit power, the most ce that''d attract more spirit power than other organs. At first it looked impossible to locate as the monster was entirely lit with spirit power.


    But when the monster went on self-detonation, William finally could find a lead. The monster''s body got exposed, and spirit power even if it got intensified, it still went on pulses and in a wave pattern.


    In between releasing the spirit power surges, William could clearly spot the ces rich in spirit power. Spirit power at such a stage was almost in physical form, able to be seen and felt easily. And that made him spot the most suitable ce for the core, the monster''s belly.


    "It''s mine!" Fang roared from behind when he saw where William was aiming at. He was thinking all the time the same as William. Even if he didn''t have any information about the monster they were fighting, Fang was looking for the ce of the core.


    Once the core was taken out, the monster would turn into a dead corpse. Even if Fang was stronger, he knew the moment William got his hands over the core, he had no way to take it back from him.


    "Sorry," William heard the roaring Fang from behind and couldn''t helpughing evilly. His tails were already prating the monster''s thick skin, while his monstrous weapons were shielding him from another spirit power surge, thest one.


    Fang was toote, and even before he''d make a move, William already secured the core. Seeing the glisteringrge diamond shaped weird core held in the tails of William made Fang quite frustrated.


    "I''m willing to pay anything to get it!" Fang was indeed honest when he shouted this, but he mistook one thing.


    He didn''t know, the same as William, that this core they worked hard to get from the monster wouldn''t remain intact. Just after William grabbed it out, and before he''d even dash away to safety from the monster''s harm way, the core started to shine brighter while gradually turning into wisps of smoke.


    "This…" Fang was just getting closer to William when he stupefied in his ce motionless. He saw the core he dreamt to have turned into smoke, while William''s body started to grow weak and soft, falling to the ground with his eyes closed.


    "Dammit! Not now!" Fang got awakened over the sudden and threatening surge of spirit power that came from the direction of the monster. The two were so close to it right now, and Fang knew what was going to happen.


    The core might have most of the spirit power that the monster gathered, but there was still a significant amount still stored within the monster''s body.


    William didn''t even see thating. While fighting against the monster, he already suffered lots of wounds. His entire body was soaked with his blood, and that included his tails.


    The moment he grabbed the core, he felt such unexinable hunger to devour it. He didn''t get what was going on until it was toote. In such a brief moment when he lost control over himself, he ended up triggering the core absorption, adding it to his spirit.


    He didn''t expect this to happen, and part of this came from his earlier ns to do so with the core. He never expected it to happen at this moment, and with this, his body grew weak.


    When he''d absorb any core, he''d enter into deep slumber. But this was the perfectly worst moment for him to experience this. The monster was dead, and the spirit power stored within its body was going to get unleashed at any moment now.


    "F*ck!" Fang didn''t hesitate for even a second after, grabbed William''s body from the ground, and dashed like a rocket. He didn''t have time to save what remained from William''s monstrous weapons.


    Fang didn''t care that much about these, but he wanted to im one or two for himself if he could. Yet he had no time but to grab William before a surging spirit power umted and reached a critical point.


    "Sh*t! All this is gathering and umting, and the core isn''t there? What the f*ck that monster was made of? Did it n to take half of the continent with it or what?!!"


    As Fang dashed away from the monster, his hair stood to no end. It was clear that something terrifying was gathering anding, which made him very surprised.


    He expected a bang, but it wasn''t anything near what he expected. The monster''s spirit power started to form a scary storm, with ck clouds popping out from its body.


    Each cloud was like a ck ball, very dense and opaque, looking extremely dangerous. As if they defied anything of logic, they started to float in the air without any effect from gravity whatsoever.


    Seeing this made Fang realise he and William were far enough. And for a moment there, he recalled William''s team stuck at the tunnel up at the ceiling.


    "Dammit! Why the hell have you lost consciousness at this time!" Fang wanted to go to the tunnel, but the monster stood between him and that destination. If he dared to take a detour, he''d risk being too close to the monster for a long time.
