BXBX NOVEL Chapter 828 The Magic Show Begins
The moment he arrived, he let his glaive and sword work over these monsters. Coupled with the lightning element, he was able to tear apart lots of these hornets' wings in no time.
He aimed precisely for the wings as they were the only advantage these monsters had. Cutting their wings down would turn them into helpless ground monsters, easier to handle than other ground ones.
His first impact left behind tens of hornets dead and hundreds of them falling on the ground. Yet the flying hornets didn't give him the chance to follow up with more attacks as they started to fly higher, pulling the distance between them and the ground even longer.
He didn't intend to follow through. He picked up many wingless hornets, kicked them all the way towards the nearest safe zone.
Then he started to test various techniques and elements against them, using these hornets as his test subjects.
"Hmm… Fire doesn't work against them like how it used to be…" the first thing he noticed was for his fire element to not bring the same damage to these hornets. He didn't know why, but only lightning, light, and water elements worked fine against them.
His other elements didn't succeed to cause enough damage to these hornets. As for his weapons, he found out that his sword was much deadlier and sharper than anything else, even his glaive.
"That explains why my grenades failed before to kill lots of them…" he was slightly puzzled by this. Yet he now knew the answer. Even if his grenades had light and lightning elements, they depended mainly on fire elements to bring forth their usual destruction.
As he realised this point, he waited patiently for another swarm of hornets to fall down and attack his two monstrous weapons. When that happened, he didn't come out like before, took out a bow and started raining these hornets using his arrows.
"It's as expected, not that much effective…" he watched how many hornets flew away safely from the depths of the fireballs created by his explosive arrows, "this is by far my first time to see my flying arrows fail me…"
He muttered to himself in slight bitterness, knowing that he had to modify these arrows if he wanted them to cause enough destruction and damage. To do so, he had different options, all were time consuming, and he knew the end result wasn't going to be that satisfying.
"It's a waste," after thinking about this for a few minutes, he decided against doing this. He tried something different, releasing many arrows at the same time, while binding his grenades with their cylindrical wooden bodies.
They flew a little slower than before, covered a smaller distance, but the end result was much better. At least half of the number of hornets that used to fly away from fire didn't come out, and the ones coming out were showing lots of different wounds.
Many fell to the ground as their wings got broken or filled with many holes and gaps, enough to interfere with them flying away. Seeing such a result was quite satisfying to him, especially when lots of surviving hornets escaped after he released dozens of such arrows towards them.
When he released his arrows before, these hornets seemed to not smell any trouble from them. So, they never moved away or anything.
William didn't intend to follow them again. He started to take out tons of his arrows, bind his grenades to them, spending hours in doing so.
During which, he let his two monstrous weapons cleanse the entire area around his safe zone. They got lucky and managed to establish four more safe zones in different distances, with lots of narrow and useless safe areas.
He didn't move until he finished preparing enough arrows for his next battle. And then he mobilised to the furthest away safe area, after scaring the swarms of hornets away using his arrows and grenades.
After that, he started to execute his plan. He released the two monstrous weapons on the ground, propelled himself using his wind technique, arriving at the densely packed swarms of hornets in the sky, before stabilising himself using his Floating Tornado technique.
He already replaced his glaive with his bow, releasing arrows the moment he arrived high up there. Being in such high altitude brought back memories, as he used to have a flying pet in the outer world.
Flying gave any master weird confidence and superior strength in facing off monsters and enemies. And at this moment, William recalled that feeling, and forgot about all his worries and concerns.
He started to fight using everything he got for hours, moving around using his dash technique, releasing tons of arrows and grenades, exploding together and bringing forth scary balls of deadly fire, lightening up the entire dimmed sky.
This type of battle was an eye opener for the watching masters from far. Right now, William was already inside the deeper parts of this area, in a zone that wasn't that much far away from the deadliest innermost zone.
William wasn't the only one suffering from the pressure of monsters, those masters were as well. But the flying hornet monsters didn't come for them, only focused over William alone.
Flying monsters weren't that rare in this world, but dealing with them was a headache actually. Even if there was a large group of masters fighting and working together, it'd be a tough battle and risky gamble.
No one ever saw flying hornets or monsters in this area before. As they thought William was going to retreat, drop his interest in advancing, he pulled another miracle in front of their senses.
They watched William take out two monstrous weapons and release them to fight the ground monsters. The moment these two appeared, the following masters had to question everything they knew about this world.
