Then the formation would create a copy of that moment, moving anything and anyone to the current moment of time.
William knew what they were trying to do. This was where the portal initially opened, the place where the monster tide that the city suffered for days on their claws appeared in this world.
If they got enough spirit power, they could return to that moment of time and replicate all the monsters appearing back then, forming another copy of it here.
In other words, they were going to replicate the same scary monster tide, letting another copy of it appear here, coming from the past, and without even suffering anything or any damage at all!
"Dammit! That means… I'm standing just in the heart of such a scary monster army when it'll arrive here…" William's scalp grew numb the moment he jumped to such a scary conclusion.
If they succeeded, then he was doomed, everyone back at the city was doomed.

Ibra wasn't weak, but he was just one master. And there were fifty scary figures up there, at least at the mid-tier dark gold grade.
"I need to see how much they can activate it in the first place," William calmed down himself, thinking about this while looking high in the sky again.
He knew to stop such a formation, he had to go up there and either ruin the foundations of the grand formation or kill the ones who were activating it. He was far away from the peak right now, and he couldn't fly yet.
This meant if not for Ibra to move and take down a few with him or ruin part of the grand formation foundations, then things were going to end up quite bad.
But there was a silver lining in all this… The scary amount of spirit power needed to activate such formation.
Even if fifty Mutants were here, that meant nothing at all. This formation was considered one of the pinnacle formations in the outer world. And the amount of spirit power needed to activate it was quite scary to begin with.
As it was used in this tiny world, then there was a good chance that these Mutants would fail to bring forth the full terrifying effect of this formation.
William turned his head up and looked at the clouds, waiting for the disaster that was about to land. As he was doing this, something unexpected happened.
[Tell me, what's going on here?]
"Who are you?!!!" William was totally focused on observing the sky. And yet he heard a voice that startled him. It felt weirdly familiar, yet William was shocked to even recognise it.
[I'm Zin] the old man was using spirit telepathy at this moment to communicate with William. The latter didn't yet develop such useful ability, but the old man could hear his words using spirit sense, [I can tell something terrible is about to happen. Tell me everything]
"You are near?" William's shattered hopes suddenly got revived. At this moment, he felt like a phoenix, rising up from death, rising from ashes to the highest clouds, "no time for that! Can you take me up there?"ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovelFɪre.net
William hurriedly pointed towards the peaks of mountains hiding behind the clouds.
[Sure, do you want to go up there now?]
"Come, let's speak on the way," William was this close from exploding out in laughter. When he felt there was no hope, fate decided to lend him a hand at this moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe never expected to get followed, and from someone like Zin. it went without saying how strong Zin was. William estimated him to be at the pinnacle of power in this world. But he was wrong.
Zin wasn't just in the pinnacle tier, but he was one of the few who were really close from leaving this world. If not for his life span to run short, he'd have worked his as* to break free from the shackles of this world.
William didn't wait for long. In the next few minutes, he felt a gale of wind, so fierce that he had to insert his claws deeply in the ground to not fly away. As for Charley, it seemed this giant weapon wasn't able to sustain the wind. So, William called it back.
"What do you want to do up there, kiddo?" The next minute, the voice of Zin appeared just a few metres away from William, "and cancelled that fox form. I can just carry you if you are in human form. Extra weight is dead weight for me."
"Ok," William cancelled his fox spirit, "take me up there, and prepare to fight."
"For what exactly? What's going on here?"
"To save everyone," William's answer was short, yet decisive. Zin could tell William knew everything that was happening now, something that made such a veteran old master feel shocked inside.
The best he could get was how severe the current situation was. Even that came mainly from the change on William's face, the words he exchanged with Ibra in a loud tone before.
A youth who wasn't older than sixteen years old knew something that this few hundred years old master didn't was indeed quite unbelievable. And when William started to speak briefly about what was going on, the scalp of this old man grew numb, something that hadn't happened for a long time already.
Once someone reached the highest stage of power in the world, then there would be rare things that would scare them. Zin never felt fear for at least a century. And now he felt true terror, reminding him of the first time he faced a monster when he was a white grade master.
"Are you sure?" Zin was now surrounding William with a tornado, taking him up at a fast speed, "is this even possible?"
