That was why William didn't even bother to cover up his perfect condition or try to fake being severely wounded or something.
William's best guess was that this group of scary folks arrived here late and wanted to take part in the betting event or something. And that was indeed enough to stir trouble here, forcing Remy to call almost half of the guards sent by the Refos group to gather up around her in such a way.
"They say they know you," Remy said in an aggressive tone, "and they wanted to come inside."
"Come where?" William got more puzzled, turned to look at the group standing in front of him with more vigilance than before.
"We are here by the orders of our common friends," one of them said, as he pointed towards the territory, "we are going there whether you like it or not."
"What are you talking about?" William's aura changed, and he started to enter battle mode. He looked at the serious faces of this bunch of spirit masters and couldn't recognise a single one of them.
"You promised to give something from there to our common friends, a token of your friendship with us."
The more this dude spoke, the more William got puzzled. And from the look on his face, it was clear to anyone watching that William didn't get anything from these words.
"They said they'll come inside with or without your permission," Remy said, while gazing at William in a serious way, "one word from you and we will kick them out."
"Humph, as if you got the ability to do so," that dude said in an arrogant way. And before William would even take a single weapon out or say a single word, that dude acted faster. He took out a scroll before unfolding it, "did you think that old bastard built this place on his own? Our masters helped him, and they got a way to let us enter! Let's go! Kill anyone standing in your way!"
Just as this dude shouted like this, he suddenly activated his spirit. Something like a huge white snake appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the scroll then shone brightly and turned into a bright ball of light.
"Sh*t!" William realised everything when that dude said his last words. And without any delay, he started to act, "stop them! They are dark spirit masters! Kill them all!"
"Let us go inside with you!" Remy shouted, but she was half a beat late. William knew the moment these folks revealed their true colours and real intentions, it was going to be a bloodbath.
If he delayed for a single second, if he hesitated for a brief moment, then his path forward would get blocked by these dark spirit masters.
And so the moment that ball of light appeared, and before it'd even encompass a group of fifty spirit masters around, engulfing and taking them into the territory, William instantly activated his dash technique, moving for fifty metres directly, passing through the gate of his place.
As he arrived in his territory, and at the same moment, the ball of light that he saw before appeared just hundreds of metres away, releasing a group of fifty spirit masters.
William stood in his place while icily gazing at this group of invaders. Without the need to ask, they belonged to the side of those damn Transformers.
"They never planned to give me a choice in the first place!" William was a little surprised by this sudden twist in events. He thought he got everything under his control. But he was wrong!
It seemed those folks weren't used to getting a no for an answer. And they weren't that cornered in the first place about his opinion and decision about this matter.
They got a way to let such a group of folks arrive here. And that meant they didn't need William from the beginning.
"Oh, the little kid came in as well."
"We got clear orders to kill anyone, even him."
"Fine, let me play a little with him. The gate our masters gave to us can only let gold grade spirit masters in. If we just got a single dark gold spirit master…"
"No need, our intel says that he is just at bronze grade."
"Don't forget he got a gold grade servant in there."
"He isn't a problem. Let's divide up, ten will deal with this ant, ten will go to deal with that useless servant, and the rest will spread up and look for the statue…"
William looked at all of them, listening to their words. He now realised what happened, and it seemed those statues just wanted to not burn away such a method as it looked like it was one time usage.
"Only gold grade? Fine…" William let them speak and chat among themselves, while taking something out. It was one of the elixirs he bought before with Thomas at the Seven Heaven store.
"Just chat as long as you can. In a few minutes, I promise you all will die in my claws" And without any hesitation, he gulped the entire content of this elixir, feeling like he drank a fountain of water or something.
A wild gush of spirit power came out from his belly the next moment, but this didn't startle him. In the next moment, he started to act.
"Humph! What an arrogant and delusional kid you are!"
"Do you take us for those useless spirit masters? We are dark spirit masters!"
"We will kill him together, cut his corpse into little pieces, and leave them as a token for people in this fort to get reminded of our name and brutality."
*Roar!*
Just as they all spoke in between each other, even laughing and mocking William, the latter started to change.
The first thing he did was to summon up his spirit, his one tailed fox spirit. A single roar was all it took to shut up everyone. And the next moment, a real nightmare landed on all of them.
