A little bit before the elemental spear hit Kaust.
William was originally intending on just doing one last test about how much output mana can be destroyed at once.
But when he saw Kaust charging at him, he had an even better idea—one that, if executed properly, would let him kill the demon.
And well, if it didn't work out, he was about to die a very brutal death.
It was extremely risky, but considering he was going to most likely die anyway, even if he didn't take the risk, he might as well try his luck one last time.
With that plan, he used almost all of his newly collected life force to create hundreds of shadow hounds to serve as distractions.
'Such a waste' he thought, knowing that all of these hounds would end up getting destroyed, making all the life force used to create them useless.
Well, it should be worth it as long as he can just kill the demon.
And just like expected, so far, his plan has worked.
