Kong knew these monsters were blood type spirit monsters. And he also knew such information wasn't widely spread among the community of strong spirit masters.
Hearing William educate his clan's future generation in such a way made his doubts ease a little bit. William was giving them a lecture that any formidable spirit master would do to these kids.
And that also shone the light over something else… From the look of it, William knew exactly what was coming at them and knew perfectly well how to stop it!
It was something even he, one of the prominent figures in the entire world of spirit masters, wouldn't dare to say he knew or could do!
And when he thought about it more, this grand spirit master knew there was something off indeed about everything.
The monsters came and attacked his clan without a reason. When he thought back to William's words, he couldn't help but shake his head in denial.
For any monster tide to appear somewhere, one of a short list of reasons must apply. He got himself too busy, absorbed in dealing with the defensive preparations of the clan and sending for reinforcements, that he neglected such simple matter.
According to the long history between humans and monsters, this list of reasons was reliable and never failed even once to his knowledge.
And that wasn't all! Each reason was accompanied with a grade of the monster tide assaulting humans.
As he never knew why the monsters came here in the first place, he wouldn't dare to say for sure this tide belonged to category three monster outbreaks.
In fact… And from just the little kid's words and actions, such a formidable spirit master started to doubt the truth about this matter.
To be safe, he decided to not send out his strongest force, the elders and himself. He kept confining them inside the walls, even when the monster gate appeared.
Seeing this gate made his face darken. He knew the grade of the monster outbreak changed from grade three to two just by the presence of this gate.
If it was only that, then he'd not have to worry that much.
Yet when the other two gates appeared to block the path of the incoming reinforcements, a bad omen prevailed.
And that was when he recalled what William claimed before about this entire war.
The first thing he did was to check over William. And he couldn't help but eye that kid in a new light based on such changes in the entire battlefield.
The reason he got for William to know such things before they happened was clear, William's formidable master must have taught him such secret information and might also taught him a lot about monster tides and their nature and schemes.
After all, what his clan was facing right now was least described as a poisonous scheme from the monsters.
As he was lost in thought, William told his group to wait as what he was waiting for didn't arrive yet.
Berry's grandfather rejoiced in his heart that he kept vigilant and didn't send his strongest force out yet.
Or else they'd be entangled at this crucial moment with the monsters coming out from that gate, and it'd be too hard and too harmful for the entire fight to withdraw them back.
Then things happened fast. Trees started to fall, and dust clouds started to rise in such scary fashion.
This time, such a scene was typical for something scary. It wasn't just Berry's grandfather who recognised this terrifying scene, and which scary enemy was coming from far towards them.
All the elders here, all the dark gold spirit masters knew what it was. And when they realised this, all of their faces darkened.
If they thought before they got a chance of surviving this and saving the clan, then by the addition of the new enemy, things started to look dire and desperate.
There was no hope! Not for them, not for the clan!
Berry's grandfather couldn't help but recall the earlier words of William. "This kid… Great! Just great!" he clenched both fists as his body faintly trembled for a brief second.
When William decided to educate the kids of the clan about the scarlet type monsters, he used the example of the scarlet bears.
Kong didn't think too much about this before, as these monsters were known to be the scariest amidst the scarlet monster entire family.
But right now, he felt different. It was if William could see through the thick fog of the future and tell that the scarlet bears were coming towards the clan.
And that made Kong hope that William got such a fact beforehand and did his weird stuff to stop these bears.
After all, William said he waited for something to arrive. And the old patriarch couldn't help but link the two together.
Just when things seemed to hit the worst point, William started his crazy assault towards the enemy.
And with his courageous and sudden leap, the rest of spirit masters joined him including Berry.
Kong couldn't help but admire the few words William spoke before jumping off. Any doubt he had towards this kid vanished the moment William followed his words with his daring and reckless actions.
Not a single dark spirit master would risk his life in such a way to even infiltrate the biggest clans and academies in the world!
But these were only Kong's own thoughts. Someone else begged to differ with him at such a crucial moment.
Just seeing his daughter throw herself like this into danger, just to follow William, her father couldn't control himself anymore.
Even if there was no hope for him, for everyone he knew and treasured in the clan, he wouldn't stand idle and watch his daughter get killed in front of his eyes like this.
And just when he was about to move and kill all the monsters around his daughter, planning to drag her back and let her escape to somewhere safe, his father stood like an unshakable mountain, blocking his path.
