Chapter 1151 Safety First
Even Fang and Sloth didn't get it either. Yet the former could now get why the enemies back there were terrified. A world of fate and destiny, with the power to change things beyond one's recognition or dreams? That was wild!
Thinking about all this made him crave to learn more. He didn't like the feeling of not getting what was going on, for having something in the world that he didn't understand or even experienced before.
"This kid… He is indeed worthy to be followed," Fang inwardly muttered to himself, while his earlier decision to follow William strengthened at this moment.
As the high-end masters of the army got to know how this war was going to end, nothing surprising happened. They led the last stage of the war in a very calm way, learning to take down the stronger forces of the enemy first while taking out lots of enemies in the least stressful way.
They arranged their lines, made teams of masters, and started to deploy arrays in the battle. It might have slowed down their killing speed, but this way made it hard for the enemies to kill lots of them in return.
Safety first, was what went into the king's and other high-end masters' minds at these moments.
Everyone started to slowly clear the enemies, while Anjie didn't find much to do. "Let's do what he'd instruct us to do at such times… Let's collect the loot," out of the blue, and as she didn't have anything to do, she ordered the newly joined masters in the guild to do the trending feature of the Fox guild.
No matter when, no matter where, they'd place collecting rings, gears, and monster materials above anything else!
Masters around got used to such actions from the Fox guild, yet the father couldn't help but inwardly sigh when he saw what his daughter was doing.
"That William… What the hell was he teaching her?" The king couldn't help but mutter in annoyance, feeling that his daughter was doing something low and not worthy of her image as the next queen of the kingdom.
Yet he had nothing to do right now. Even if the situation was under their control, it wasn't easy or safe yet. He had to pour all of his attention into running the ongoing battles, making sure his kingdom wouldn't lose many of the masters belonging to it.
In the middle of all this, William was immersed in the Mystic Art he was using. The suction of the potential and special abilities of every single one of his enemies took a long time, and it processed slowly.
This wasn't because the art was slow in the first place, but because he was targeting hundreds of enemies, all with great potential, and strong protection from the Fate and Destiny world. So it was expected for such a process to take an entire week.
He could feel it, the more he absorbed, the more he felt his wheel getting thicker and stronger, seemingly a sign for the protection of this special world to get intensified and strengthened. At the end of the week, his wheel wasn't anything like before.
It was now like it was made out of mountainous rocks, sturdy, thick, and massive. It expanded in size to cover up almost ten times what it was before and got thickened more than thirty times than before. And he got smaller wheels formed underneath him, making it look like it was a giant tower of wheels.
He didn't have time to inspect the final look out of his wheel. The moment that art finished, he felt a strong force pushing him out of that world. He didn't get why and had zero control over this.
He didn't know that what he was was just the tip of the iceberg. His wheel changed, his fate and destiny changed, and the world needed to synchronise the new changes. So he had to leave.
When he appeared in the real world, all he could see was bright blazing golden light, surrounding him, surrounding everyone, filling the entire space he was in.
It felt like he was drowning in the golden sea or something. "You… You got benefits from me?" William took a second to get what was going on, slowly and deeply said in a slow manner.
"This is something unexpected, a gain I never foresaw coming from someone like you. Thanks for the good meal, I truly loved it!"
The voice of that spirit rang in his head, amidst wild laughs. William knew he had no say in this, and it seemed the luck of that spirit was great to gain such a huge harvest.
Even if he knew his gains were halved, he didn't complain or even get mad. Life taught him that nothing was without a price, and what he gained was something truly special and priceless. That meant he had to pay a price, and sharing what he gained with that spirit seemed the most inexpensive price he had to pay ever.
"Scram," William noticed that the golden hye receded and was fading away, "make sure to remember this, I helped you, and you'll have to help me…"
"Or what? It's not as if you made the call for this…"
"Next time, I'll make sure you won't sniff anything from me then," William shrugged, "I'm the one who made you gain access to that world and such gains in the first place, and I can cut that off next time if I wanted to."
The spirit went into silence, a long one this time. It couldn't tell if William was bluffing or speaking the truth. To Tell the truth, this spirit was hungry for that world. It never gained access there before its connection with William, and it couldn't dream of gaining such a good harvest.
As it was unable to make up its mind fast, the golden aura around William got weaker and smaller, shrinking until it covered just a few metres around him.
