Chapter 258 The Battle Starts

William spotted them just a couple of hundreds of metres away from Sara's team when he issued this order to these two.

"On it!"

"Let's move out!"

The two led their teams, moving in an arching path each, heading towards the front. They looked like two arrows moving slowly towards their target. And the next moment, the fifty leopards crashed against Sara and her team.

William saw a flash of silver light before a silver wall appeared. It was ten metres in length, five in height, looking quite strong, and it managed to stop the early monsters at the front.

The leopards didn't like this wall. As many attacks came from behind it, the leopards moved either by trying to jump and climb that wall or move around it.

Those who tried to climb the wall ended up failing. Sara wasn't that nice looking girl William met a few times already. She got out a long spear, and used it to stab those climbing monsters, making them fall down the wall.

As for those who bypassed the wall, they got a better ending than others. They just got a few hits from Sara's team. Yet these monsters' attempt to retaliate, using either their sharp claws, deadly teeth and tusks, all failed in front of the new gears Sara's team wore.

The monsters already were running fast, and so they didn't have that much advantage here and couldn't land more than a few hits before bypassing Sara's team.

Just before any of these leopards would stop to attack Sara's team, they spotted new humans running at them.

Seeing new prey made these monsters drop the thought of stopping or even slowing down. And soon enough, they found themselves in the face of Berry's team.

"Start pushing forward," at this moment, William shouted towards Berry, "lead your team towards the wall."

"Got it!" Berry shouted, and at the same moment, Lang and Peter's team finally clashed with the running leopards.

The two hit the last group of leopards, forcing these monsters to stop and fight them. At the same time, the ones who went to meet Berry got pushed through as the latter led her team forward, following William's words.

At this moment, the members of the four teams fighting up there realised the true value of their new gears! They couldn't just defend themselves quite well, but their weapons and attacks landed perfectly on their targets, leaving behind a deep wound, or even a severed limb!

That was something none imagined seeing or expected to happen at least. Once they felt their ability to harm the monsters without getting harmed, their morale skyrocketed, and they started to gain confidence.

"William!" Just when Berry penetrated through the incoming few leopards, she finally realised what went wrong.

She moved and created a gap between the wall and William, a gap that was now filled by none other than leopards.

"Keep going! Don't worry about me!" William took out his gold grade sword, his ten knives, and prepared for the upcoming leopards.

"I'm coming!" At this moment, Ibra realised how dangerous William's situation was. But before he'd take a single step forward, he was surprised to watch William's actions.

Last time when he fought William, Ibra wasn't paying much attention at all to the battle. He belittled the bronze spirit master who dared to fight him back, and so it was expected to miss much of what William did back there.

But now? He finally saw it clearly in front of his eyes.

William just flashed, disappeared from the eyes of everyone, appeared just ten metres away from his initial position as if he instantly got teleported.

"Darkness element? No, it's not…" Ibra forgot all about the ongoing fight, and kept watching William's moves in great detail and attention.

In front of his eyes, William kept flashing right and left, back and forth, with each jump not exceeding ten metres in length, going in a zigzag line, not straight one.

That allowed William to hit three leopards in each jump using his sword. As for his knives, they kept moving in a way that looked like a tornado. The knives came and hit the leopards with a force that was enough to knock many down, leaving behind lots of ugly looking wounds on their bodies.

The knives were on the same level of the strongest leopards. And coupled with the lightning element, the knives were much sharper and faster, swirling in the air like they were performing a dance or something.

"This… It's a lightning spirit element! No way! How come someone like him has such a rare and unique spirit element?!!" Ibra finally realised what type of spirit power William was using. And when he realised this, he understood why he felt such pain and numbness before.

The lightning spirit element perfectly countered his darkness element. Not only that, but it also added a numb effect that ended up getting him unconscious.

That was something Ibra didn't experience before. Unlike all the mighty and formidable masters in the academy, Ibra kept himself confined inside the academy for the most of his time.

He didn't venture outside that much. And he never sat foot beyond the areas that belonged to the academy.

He never met someone with a lightning element before. So, watching William use such a rare element in front of his eyes was an eye opener for him.

"Don't daydream like this! Move and help Sara out!" William's voice jolted Ibra awake. At this moment, he spotted William running forward towards Berry and Sara, leaving behind many leopards on the ground or roaring out in immense pain.

William didn't just escape from the grand assault of leopards unscathed, but also managed to leave behind many wounded as well. He didn't kill a single leopard this time but managed to attract the hatred of most if not all of the leopards.

"Coming!" Ibra knew he didn't contribute that much to the battle so far. He wanted to try and mimic what William did, to be stopped by William's warning and silent gaze when the latter locked up his eyes on him.

Ibra was strong indeed, but he lacked much experience in using his darkness element. He just depended on using that overbearing element to augment any attack he used, nothing more than that.
