A number of students passed by William while he was growing accustomed to the Spell. At the current moment, he could only move four paces for every step, but that was nothing compared to how far he was progressing before.
The attackers continued to target William for a while, but when another group took the lead, he was promptly ignored. Regardless of if William triggered the opening of the 14th floor, anyone could steal the treasure.
When the fifth group passed William, they couldn't help but laugh. "What happened to all that speed from before? Are you running out of Mana?"
William was slightly frustrated by their words and wanted nothing more than to use all of his speed-based Elements to rush past everyone, but he knew that would only be a temporary win. The moment he was discovered by the Heavens, it would be over.
So, he redoubled his focus on the Space Element, working to improve the efficiency of his Spell.
