William was sure if he got enough space and time, he'd be able to take it down without any hustle.
But he lacked both. And so he decided to go straight forward, attacking this rod one time after another. As he lacked the scary stacking ability of his, he decided to use all the weapons he could, the best of all.
Even that scythe he collected from the unconscious dark master above was used. Per habit, he didn't miss collecting his loot, the gears, and rings from that dark master.
*Bang!* *Bang!*
One hit after another issued loud banging noises. Yet the loudest came from high above. The attack was cutting the ground layer by layer, melting the rocks, and turning them into weird red-blue lava. The lava fell through the tunnel and gaps in the rocks around, and he had to take Charley out to shield him.
"Keep this filth away!" he left Charley to do this, while he continued batting his weapons against that pillar.
