He left this task for his two deadliest weapons and went to execute his plan, cutting the connection of more gates.
The dark leaders watching this from afar went mad! They realised how grave their mistake was, underestimating William and focusing mainly on Sloth and others. Yet even if they regretted that, they got nothing in their power to do.
The monsters they summoned to deal with him were facing a hard time dealing with this fire. This wasn't a normal fire, as it was created by three different sources, one of which was quite scary and deadly. Even after the passage of an hour, explosions were still happening from the vibrant ores, ending up releasing more fire.
This made the task of these monsters much harder. William didn't care about any of that and kept doing his task diligently.
Sloth and others were watching William all this time and saw what he was doing. When he released fire, they knew he was determined to do whatever he was doing back there.
