"Blargh, fuck!" William spat out a mouthful of water as he reached the surface of the lake. Even the Water Element can't help an idiot!
The Cultivators had already disappeared, while Gary and Phillip were still probably inside the trial grounds. Those poor guys, if they managed to beat the fourth or fifth levels, they wouldn't even get a reward.
William felt somewhat bad for the two, but it wasn't like he could help them. They were probably in another space fighting the same trial. William couldn't get to where they were, so they'd have to face the Caverns Goblins themselves.
William dried himself off with a combination of Wind and Fire Magic, then started running across the surface of the lake in search of another trial.
