"Go and help them," William shouted at Sara, while dashing towards the silver ones, "leave these to me."
"Got it!"
Sara didn't try to act heroic at this point. Just the number of the bronze monsters here was enough to keep her and others busy.
As for the silver ones, there were dozens of them. And seeing this made William grin in satisfaction.
"One… Two… Five… Ten…" William kept moving calmly around this small battlefield, killing every silver monster with a single hit from his sword and knives.
His movements were smooth and natural, not needing to use his lightning move at all.
By the time he finished killing all of these silver monsters, he found that the team was still in the middle of killing the bronze grade monsters.
What brought such trouble for this group was the presence of three white grade members here. They were weak and slightly vulnerable to the attacks of these monsters.
If not for the gears William gave them, they would have been killed a long time ago. "I'll deal with this side," William didn't stop after killing all the silver monsters in the region. He just took a few minutes to collect his cores, before running towards one direction and started a spree of killing there, "you handle the rest."
"Got it!" Sara shouted without even shifting her gaze away from her enemies.
William didn't need to use any technique at all to kill the weaker monsters around. And with him dealing with a large number of bronze and white monsters, the other team members here could finally have a chance to breathe.
They got suppressed for long, not able to even gather up and form their line properly. After William and Sara joined the battle, things started to calm down, and they began to suffer less wounds.
But this was a big battle, and even William ended up suffering a few wounds from these monsters. It took roughly thirty minutes to clean up everything. And William didn't even think about stopping.
"Come with me," William took enough healing potions and threw them to the team members around, "there are other places that need our help."
"Give us a minute," the silver dude was the most exhausted one. He took the toll of dealing with any silver monster sneaky attacks, defending the team members here, protecting anyone from getting killed.
"You'll get three," William wasn't in any hurry to leave. He started dissecting the monsters he killed. He did not care about their materials, taking out their cores, and storing them inside his ring.
Sara noticed his weird actions a long time ago, but she didn't comment on any of that. In her eyes, in the eyes of all, William used to do weird things like this from time to time.
And it started to grow as a reputation, a weird reputation for William about his thing towards cores. No matter where or when, William would spare a few minutes to collect the cores from the monsters around.
It wasn't that hard to link what William was doing with the monsters he personally slain. After all, he didn't collect all the cores from all monsters.
'Tsk! Strong folks really got some weird sh*t as habits!' and watching him do his stuff, Sara couldn't help but inwardly lament on such a weird hobby.
"Let's go," once William finished doing his stuff, collecting hundreds of cores, he started to lead others out. "We are going to face the same situation everywhere. But fret not, we are safe inside the array, and no monster can get in or out from here."
"That means… We are going to fight hundreds or thousands of these?!" one of the bronze dudes asked, and William simply nodded.
"When we meet them, I, Sara, and Bruce will deal with any group of monsters first," William said, referring to the silver dude that Peter brought over, the one who shielded everyone before his arrival here, "then you can join in according to the development of the fight."
William knew these kids were stronger than they knew or felt, but they were inexperienced to realise this just now. They got gears enough to make up for the gap in strength with any monster here.
Even fighting silver monsters shouldn't be that hard for any of them. But thanks to their thoughts fixed on their current grade and not their overall newly gained strength from the gears, they failed to make the best use of this advantage so far.
William didn't want them to kill or compete with him over the silver monsters. But speaking about bronze and white monsters was a different story.
He estimated that to raise a few spirit power points, he'd need to absorb tens of bronze cores.
Compared to the silver cores, caring about bronze cores was going to be a waste of his time and effort.
And white cores got no use for him at this stage.
"There is another group ahead!" In less than five minutes, the small group finally found a gathering of less than a hundred monsters up ahead, blocking their path forward. But this time, there was no trace of any of their team members in the region.
"I'll handle the silver ones, you two take care of the rest and make sure to help others as well."
"Got it!" Bruce shouted.
"Follow close behind, don't slack and be sure to join the fight after one-minute passes!" Sara gave an order for the members following behind, while the three of them started to pick up pace, increasing the distance between them and the team members.
"They are a bunch of weaklings!" William realised that all the monsters they found and fought here so far were just weak and common monsters. They got nothing special or scary about them, even the silver ones as well.
Aside from the LadyBug he fought back then, not a single dangerous monster appeared so far.
He led the team in a killing mission, picking up other members of the team in the meantime, and taking down lots of monsters in the process.
