Chapter 433 Always with the questions, you!
A group of guild leaders, having narrowly escaped death, now set their sights on William.
"That William likely possesses more than one artifact. It's improbable that any of us alone could defeat him," Aurelius mused. "We should confront him together. A novice Soulmancer, even with some extraordinary artifact, can probably unleash only 10% of its power."
As he spoke, he was already regretting his words.
How many magical artifacts could William possibly have?
There were seven of them. Even if they managed to seize an artifact, how would they divide it?
As he had said, what could a novice Soulmancer, even with a powerful artifact, truly achieve?
Isn't it just courting death for nothing?
Aurelius really regretted why he said those words.
It's not impossible for someone to secretly kill William.
Artifacts usually require time to activate. As a Demi-God level warrior, couldn't he assassinate a novice Soulmancer before he even had a chance to react?
Now, with seven Demi-God level warriors going after a novice Soulmancer, the whole idea seemed absurd.
"Ha ha ha! Aurelius, you're right. Let me be the one to test the waters first on behalf of everyone."
"No, no, no! You're too kind. I think I should be the one to go!"
Hearing the eagerness in the others,felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Everyone, please calm down!" Aurelius interjected. "As we've just discussed, it's very likely that William gave an artifact to Garen. So, if we attempt to kill William, would Garen just stand by and watch?"
At this, everyone fell silent.
"Aurelius, tell us, what exactly is Garen's power level now?" the old man with the goatee furrowed his brow. "Killing William might be easy, but ultimately, we have to face Garen! Do you think we stand a chance against him if we join forces?"
Aurelius feigned depth, saying, "That one strike from Garen... he is likely invincible now!"
As he spoke, Aurelius became increasingly excited, convinced that Garen must have received something powerful from William, leading to a tremendous surge in his strength and even enabling him to unsheathe Excalibur.
He could only imagine the terrifying nature of the artifact that William must have given to Garen.
An artifact so powerful it allowed Garen to break through his limitations!
"Shh—" Everyone couldn't help but inhale sharply together. They had witnessed with their own eyes Garen slaying a Demi-God level guild leader with a single sword strike.
Now, with Aurelius drawing such a conclusion, did it imply that to Garen, killing them would be as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs?
Dare they still make a move against William?
Seeing their reactions, Aurelius secretly smiled and said, "Let's carefully plan how to kill William and discuss how to distribute his artifacts afterward."
If William truly possessed such a transcendent magical artifact, eliminating William would skyrocket his own strength level, rivaling Garen's.
Fear Garen then?
Not anymore!
What a bunch of fools!
However, weren't these guild leaders all cunning and crafty?
How could they not understand this logic?
But what they're thinking is, they can't be the first to make a move!
The first one to strike would likely get injured. Without the magical artifact in hand, what if the other guild leaders turned against him after William's death?
A group of Demi-God level powerhouses gathered together, scheming how to kill a novice Soulmancer.
Or rather, in their eyes, killing William seemed easy enough, but the real concern was how to face Garen's wrath afterward and the fear of being backstabbed at a critical moment by their fellow guild leaders.
"Aurelius, enough talk. The seven of us should form an alliance, swearing on our souls to share the gains. If we get the magical artifact, we distribute it based on the amount. If William's artifacts are not plentiful, each person can use it for a set period. What do you say?"
Finally, someone broke the deadlock.
Hearing this proposal, Aurelius realized that the chances of monopolizing the magical artifacts from William were slim to none.
The seven looked at each other and then burst into laughter simultaneously.
Obviously, they had formed an alliance, an unspoken agreement among them.
Seven Demi-God level powerhouses solemnly swore an oath on their souls to advance or retreat together, with a firm resolution not to stab each other in the back.
With this, everyone felt reassured!
They might have been at ease, but at that moment, William, accompanied by two kids, arrived at the gates of the Crimson Phoenix Guild.
A group plotting his murder?
How amusing!
He had already suppressed his strength to that of a novice Soulmancer, yet these Demi-God level characters were harboring thoughts of killing him?
William almost wanted to laugh. He hadn't intentionally eavesdropped on their plotting,it was just that he had locked onto Aurelius's aura and accidentally overheard their alliance.
They even formed an alliance!
William glanced at the two fans in his hands. Seven people, each to be tested in turn!
No rush at all!
Really, no rush!
As they reached the gates of the Crimson Phoenix Guild, two junior Soulmancer gatekeepers immediately stopped them.
"Who are you? What business do you have at our Crimson Phoenix Guild?"
After all, not everyone recognized William.
In the eyes of these gatekeepers, William appeared to be just a novice Soulmancer, and they couldn't gauge the true strength of Erebus and Luna, naturally assuming they were just two kids!
William chuckled and said, "Just tell them William is looking for your Guild Master. Go on, report it."
"William? The 'Pretty boy'?" Although the gatekeepers of the Crimson Phoenix Guild had never seen William, they had heard of this 'Pretty boy.' One of them said mockingly, "What's up? Now that Alice isn't by your side, what brings you to our Crimson Phoenix Guild? Our Guild Master isn't fond of men."
As the gatekeeper spoke, the other one burst into laughter.
"Huh?" Luna was baffled at the audacity of these men to speak to William this way.
Are the people of this Prime World always so bold?
Do they no longer value their lives?
Or do they think William is too amiable?
William wasn't the type to kill someone just for a couple of insults. His temper had significantly improved, and most importantly, he felt it was essential to abide by the law as much as possible.
Insulting someone isn't illegal, but it's impolite!
Although he couldn't legally punish them, William decided to morally reproach the two gatekeepers.
Five seconds later, William, Luna, and Erebus walked through the gate towards the Guild Hall. The two gatekeepers stood frozen in place, unable to speak or move.
They couldn't even muster a flicker of energy in their bodies, let alone move a finger.
"Why didn't you kill them, Mr. Johnson?" Luna asked, puzzled.
William spoke with a sense of depth, "They only called me 'Pretty boy.' My appearance is indeed handsome, so they weren't exactly wrong."
Erebus cautiously asked, "Then why can't they move?"
William quickly bonked Erebus on the head and rolled his eyes, "Always with the questions, you!"
Erebus looked at William with teary eyes, not daring to speak. Why was it like this? It was Luna who asked first.
Is there such a big difference in how boys and girls are treated?
