Chapter 767 It was a deeply unsettling thought
William had no intention of controlling the robot's movements because if he did, the robot would never lose.
He didn't want to design a no-win situation for Amy and the others.
After all, he wanted to give them a glimmer of hope!
After Walker shouted, he threw his flying knife.
It was a direct attack aimed at the robot's eyes.
The robot, not receiving any instructions from William, made its own judgment.
It held its giant axe in front of its eyes with its right hand, ready to block, while also guarding against Amy.
Amy had just learned a secret sword technique from William, and it wasn't that simple. She thrust her sword, and the light trailing behind her was as dazzling as a rainbow.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing was sharp and piercing.
The robot's giant axe broke.
Its left arm was severed!
"Hmph!" Amy's lips curled into a smile.
Had she succeeded?
Walker would surely praise her.
"Awesome!" Walker couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hehe!" Amy laughed out loud.
"Keep going, now's your chance, cut off its right arm!"
Amy looked puzzled, glanced at Walker, but still made her move.
...
Walker was stunned. "What are you doing?"
Amy indeed struck again, but her sword was aimed at the already severed left arm.
"Weren't you the one who told me to cut off its right arm?" Amy was genuinely confused.
It was clearly Walker who had said it.
Upon hearing this, Walker took a deep breath.
He was wrong!
He was really wrong!
He had thought that Amy, in a moment of quick thinking, had severed the robot's left arm.
Now, it seemed that the poor kid had gotten her left and right mixed up because the robot was standing opposite her!
"You're supposed to cut off his other arm! What's the point of chopping the one that's already down?" Walker was frustrated, now understanding why Steven and the others didn't let Amy go off on her own.
Forget about finding her way,she couldn't even tell left from right. No matter how strong she was, if she wandered into some ravine and got lost, it would be a nightmare to find her.
"But you told me to cut off its right arm..." Amy muttered under her breath before raising her sword and charging again.
Things got a lot easier for them after that.
Whether it was Amy's Sword of the Abyssal Guardian or Walker's flying knives, both were top-tier artifacts. William hadn't made the robot out of anything particularly indestructible.
Plus, now that Amy and Walker had honed their combat skills and found some weaknesses, winning was only a matter of time.
William didn't bother with them,everything was going as he expected.
If Amy and Walker couldn't win under these circumstances, they would likely struggle to survive in future battles.s hadn't yet realized how terrifyingly fast the Mutated creatures were evolving.
Dolly had previously transformed the power of over a hundred holy halos into divine soul energy that enveloped the Earth, strengthening the already physically robust creatures even more.
Like the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth they encountered earlier, its growth rate was unimaginably faster than that of ordinary creatures.
In the mere ten days they spent in the Doors of Evolution, those Demon Whales with Bloody Teeth outside had undergone another transformation, becoming even stronger.
Of course, the humans outside had also progressed somewhat, but compared to the gigantic Mutated creatures like the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth, they were hardly a match.
While Amy and Walker were still tackling the tower, William had already returned to the base in Arcane Village.
He didn't want to stay inside any longer,it was utterly joyless.
"William, why are you back? What about Amy and Walker?" Samuel asked nervously upon seeing William.
William had emerged from the Doors of Evolution, but the other two hadn't yet, which was a frightening prospect.
What if something had happened to Walker and Amy?
Humanity would lose two of its top warriors.
Most importantly, there were already suspicions that William might be a transformed Mutated creature, and Walker and Amy had entered the Doors of Evolution with him.
If something happened to Walker and Amy...
Samuel didn't know whether he should still trust William.
It was a deeply unsettling thought.
"They're still inside, fighting hard," William said. "I couldn't be of much help, so I came out."
"Oh..." Samuel nodded absently, "How are they doing in there?"
"They're doing alright, should be able to come out in about half a month," William replied.
"I see." The more Samuel thought about what William had said, the more terrified he became.
They could come out in half a month?
That meant there was no way to verify their safety now!
Perhaps Walker and the others had already been harmed.
Half a month wasn't particularly long, but it wasn't short either!
Recently, the various reports transmitted by satellites had been causing them anxiety.
The Mutated creatures seemed to have grown stronger again. In less than half a month, thirty-four S-class fighters had been killed, three base cities had fallen, and over ten million civilians had become food for the Mutated creatures...
If Amy and Walker died because of William, then William's motives would become horrifying.
Was he trying to sabotage the base from the inside?
A Mutated creature that could transform into a human might be an even more terrifying entity than the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth...
Thinking about all this made Samuel's scalp tingle.
"Are you nervous?" William squinted at Samuel, who was visibly tense, his muscles tight and hands trembling, clearly unsettled.
"No... not at all... haha!" Samuel forced a laugh. "Why would I be nervous?"
"You really do look nervous. Are you okay?" William asked.
"I'm fine... Oh, Mr. Johnson, you've completed those documents, right?" Samuel quickly changed the subject. "Weren't you planning to start a class on beast language? The school has been built. Do you want to go check it out?"
"Sure, let's have a look," William replied. "The students have already started attending, right?"
"Yes, they started three days ago," Samuel said. "I'll take you to the school."
Right now, Samuel dared not confront William directly. The incident where his flying knives had completely missed William had left a deep psychological scar, especially considering that William might be a more terrifying Mutated creature than the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth.
He really didn't dare make a move.
If things turned sour, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Samuel felt that the best he could do now was to stabilize the situation with William and call for reinforcements.
William was inside the base, so using the space ion cannon was definitely out of the question, and it was best to avoid any combat within the base.
The reinforcements he needed to call must be powerful enough to take down William with a single strike!
All the way to the school, Samuel thought about many things, but he still tried to control his emotions and appear natural.
If William became suspicious and decided to go on a killing spree in the city before leaving, they would be powerless to stop him.
Samuel felt that currently, there might be no one in the Arcane Village base capable of defeating William.
Hold steady!
He must hold steady!
