"William?" Ian looked at the figure that slowly stepped out from the darkness, his face filled with disbelief.
William's face was cold, and his eyes were cold and unfeeling, as if he didn't recognize the companion in front of him at all. He was holding the huge longsword tightly in his hand, and a strange dark red energy was flowing from the sword.
"William, what's wrong with you?" Alexander asked in surprise, "Why are you attacking us?"
William didn't answer, his gaze was temperatureless, suddenly his feet stomped, his figure rushed out like lightning, the huge sword carrying a terrifying sword qi chopped straight at Alexander.
Alexander quickly reacted, the longsword in his hand instantly swung out a powerful sword light to resist, but William's power was far more than before, the sword energy was so strong and terrifying that Alexander was sent flying out after only resisting for a moment.
Adrian's face changed drastically and he quickly stepped forward to catch Alexander, ''Be careful! He seems to be controlled by something!"
Ian quickly turned on his sensory enhancement and fully captured William's movement trajectory. He shouted, "You guys be careful! William's current strength far exceeds any Luminary-class powerhouse we've seen before!"
William swung his huge sword once again, his sword qi crisscrossing the space around him, instantly cutting several terrifying cracks in the space around him.
Adrian's eyes stared, the new armor on his body shone with a dazzling shadowy light as he raised the lance in his hand and quickly met the attack, "Battle Technique - Shadow Storm!"
The two powerful forces collided violently in the air, and the terrifying energy shockwave instantly spread out, shaking the entire building violently. Although Adrian was barely able to block the blow by relying on his new equipment, he was also visibly strained.
Alexander regained his feet and quickly adjusted his state to fight side by side with Adrian: "Let's team up against him, be careful with the coordination!"
Without the slightest hesitation, William attacked again, his giant sword slashing continuously at a furious speed, each strike carrying devastating power, suppressing Adrian and Alexander as they retreated back and forth.
"He's just too strong, we have to find out his weakness!" Alexander shouted.
Ian continuously used his senses to intensively analyze William's movements, and quickly said, "Although his movements are swift, there is a pattern to them, every time he swings his sword, he will briefly reveal an opening on his right side, pay attention to seizing this opportunity!"
Adrian and Alexander nodded their heads at the same time, and began to cooperate more silently in their attacks. Adrian forcefully pushed his armor and lance, the shadow power creating a strong suppression effect, while Alexander nimbly penetrated and attacked, trying to break through William's defense.
However, William's fighting instincts after being controlled were extremely strong, his defense was incredibly tight, and every time he seemed to be caught in a break, he was able to react quickly.
Seeing this, Ian was anxious in his heart and quickly began to look for other ways, "We need to disrupt his rhythm even further! I'll attract his attention!"
After saying this, Ian gripped his long lightning sword and quickly rushed forward, the blade condensed powerful thunder power and chopped at William's side.
William instantly turned around, his huge sword swung out violently, the powerful force directly knocked Ian away, and the long blade in his hand broke into two, the moment Ian was knocked away he unleashed gravity control, slowing down William's movements for a split second, giving Adrian and Alexander a precious opportunity.
"Now!" Adrian bellowed, his lance launching another attack
"Battle Technique - Shadow Stab!"
"Battle technique - Sword of Light! "
Alexander and Adrian launched their attacks at the same time, and both attacks hit William at the same time with precision.
William took a few steps back after being hit, but didn't fall, only the energy fluctuation in his body was slightly weakened, he still looked at the crowd indifferently, and resumed his attacking stance.
"Not enough?" Alexander said under his breath.
Ian struggled to get up from the ground, took a deep breath, and quickly adjusted his form, "This won't work, we need to find out the source that's controlling him!"
The group quickly reorganized their formation and once again engaged William in a fierce battle, the pace of the battle grew faster and faster, the sound of energy clashing echoed throughout the space. The main force of the battle was Adrian and Alexander, with Ian able to assist from the sidelines, and the rest of the Flare class members could only barely fend off the aftermath of the battle.
After a bitter battle, Ian finally noticed keenly that there was an extremely faint light looming in William's chest, and he quickly shouted, "Pay attention to that light in William's chest! That could be the source controlling him there!"
Adrian quickly adjusted the direction of his attack upon hearing this, striking with all his might straight at the faint light at William's chest, "This is the place, Battle Technique - Shadow Stab!"
With the precise hit of the Shadow Lance's attack, William suddenly trembled violently, and the indifference in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by pain and struggle.
He barely managed to stabilize his body and said with difficulty, "Quickly ... continue attacking ... destroy ... it... ..."
