He tested his technique before and ended up creating a deep hole in the ground. But this time the hole got much deeper and wider than what he initially experienced before.
Not to mention he never intended to release the technique over the ground. He simply wanted to hit the monster at its weakest spots, and never imagined such an attack would spread up and cause all this.
At the same time, he got more shocked about the fate of that monster. He was sure the technique of his was brutal and overbearing, quite explosive and deadly.
However, seeing all these cleanly cut pieces of the monster's body made him more doubtful than others if what happened here was brought up by his move.
'Did my technique cause all this? For real?!!!'
William didn't get it, but there was something that changed slightly from the last time he tried out his technique, the amount of his spirit power!
It didn't grow up too much, but it grew up by one third of the value of his previous spirit power. And that was a great increase indeed, enough to show a glimpse of the true terror of his technique.
"Stop looking at me as if I'm the monster," William couldn't help but laugh, pointing towards the hole, "the monster lies down there."
"No, it's still standing in front of us!" Peter joked back. And when he said these words, everyone else laughed as well.
The weird atmosphere got broken simply like this. The stronger ones kept a deep note in their hearts and minds about how scary and terrifying their leader was.
Under any situation, no one would ever dare to contend against him, not wanting to experience what that poor monster saw at its last moments.
As for Ibra, he felt like William went easy on him before. Seeing such a scary and quite deadly technique made him question if it was one of those legendary techniques, one that could cross grades and ranks, enabling weaker spirit masters to harm and even kill stronger ones.
He asked himself this: If he used this technique back then in our fight, could I have defended against it?
And he didn't know the answer to that question!
Berry looked in pride and happiness towards William. In her eyes, William was her man. And it always felt great to have such a scary and formidable man by any girl's side.
Sara also felt slight and unexplained happiness deep down her heart. But she didn't expose anything over her face, not like Berry at least.
'I never thought he was training on such a scary technique back then…' she thought to herself, while watching William look back at her.
"Ah, I'm going back right away," she came here the moment she felt that team member using his wind technique to check things out. And as she was responsible for handling the construction of that defensive array, she felt as if William was blaming her for being here.
"Leave the last part of the array until the other five arrive," William shouted back at her hastily departing back.
"Ok," she shouted back, while in her mind she was still thinking about that night. 'Did he not tell me anything fearing that I might expose his deadly technique's secret? Or… Was he that worried about me getting hurt if he showed it in front of me?'
And she never knew the answer!
William stayed on the edge of the hole, watching everyone working diligently on the huge number of the monster parts.
No one of them had ever killed or heard about one killing such a monster before. It was expected, as the ones able to handle such brutal monsters were only at the limited circle of the dark gold rank.
But none needed any instructions to know what was valuable and how to collect it. With a single look, the strong looking scales were all precious and they started to collect these first.
Removing these scales wasn't as easy a task as it appeared first. The scales got to move in two different directions, looking that easy to remove at first.
But when they tried, they got surprised by finding a weird knuckle-like piece that kept the scales in place. They had to exert more effort, and even at some pieces, the bronze members couldn't handle them and threw them to the silver members to handle.
Slowly they started to arrange themselves, getting the silver members to handle the parts hard to process by the other members of the team.
When a few scales got removed, everyone was surprised to see weird looking pocket-like pieces down the scales.
"What are these?" one of the white members couldn't help but point at one of these sacs, asking while others looked at each other, seemingly at a loss.
"They contain unique fluid, one that can be used in alchemy," William paused, before adding, "if you consider the scales to be precious for artisans, then these sacs with the fluid inside are as precious to alchemists."
"But…" Lang looked at William, then at the sac, before returning to William again, "what's the right process to take it out? Shall we open a hole and milk the fluid out?"
"We didn't bring enough bottles for all this!" one of the silver members complained.
"You don't need to do anything like milking," William couldn't prevent his smile from showing up. These dudes all took things quite seriously and in the wrong way! "Each sac has a narrow point at its top, just plunk it out and then seal that opening and it's done."
"This… Just this simple?!" even Ibra asked in doubt, and William nodded to confirm what he just said.
"This is the standard way to handle such sacs."
"Speaking like you already killed and handled tons of these dudes before," Ibra didn't miss such a note from William. And even if William exposed too much here, he already got the perfect answer for any of such unintended mistakes.
"My master did kill lots of these indeed," he calmly smiled before adding, "or how else do you think I knew the right way to handle this monster from?"
