William couldn't lure them around like he initially intended and had to abruptly change course and plans.
Without even second guessing it, he went directly towards one direction. He kept running without even releasing a single attack back. As for the catapult, he took it back already.
In the next hour, Wrathers kept chasing him like crazy. William kept running with all his might for half an hour first, before they caught up.
Their speed was quite abnormal! And so, he didn't hesitate to dash, jump in the air, roll on himself, before landing on his three tails.
He might have upgraded his spirit power grade, but he didn't upgrade it enough to show up four tails. He landed and released a fierce explosion before starting a barrage of attacks, removing many of these monsters out of this world before returning to run again.
And like this he kept running for the next half an hour, until he finally saw it.
"Let's see if you are the same thing or not," in front of William laid a grand storm, one that looked quite ugly. William knew it, as he already met it before while walking from the Scorching Lands towards here.
It was that Bear monster, the one who was trying to scheme its way to the outer world and fulfilling two conditions at the same time. Seeing it here was weird, as William never expected that Scarlet Bear monster to be a friend of the Nightmare one.
But that didn't matter for now. William intended to let this uninvited monster do its trick and deal with the Wrathers chasing him up.
William didn't intend to go into that thing for now. He simply ran around, letting the mindless Wrathers chase after him, and eventually they passed directly through that storm. Once that happened, none came out from there.
William just kept leading the Wrathers around while he confirmed his early guess. That storm was marching at the same speed, acting the same, and even looked the same as the one he saw before.
"So… By some sort of a miracle, that thing appeared here, crossing thousands of kilometres without getting spotted? This damn fox! It's always surrounded with weird things happening everywhere it goes…"
William didn't believe such a scary bear monster would roam out from its lair without getting spotted. Its storm wasn't like anything seen before, not to mention it was quite brutal, not letting anyone getting into it to go out.
William didn't feel his spirit power decreasing like last time he met this storm thing. And that meant this monster didn't have time to do its magic and tricks, didn't have time to lay down the foundation of its fort, and couldn't absorb spirit power from outside.
That was both good and bad news at the same time. It was good so no one would lose any spirit power at all. And it was bad as that meant this bear was now quite hungry, and would roam this region unceasingly, eating up lots of monsters and masters without any mercy.
Not to mention as long as this bear got a liking to this spot, it'd start laying down the foundation to absorb spirit power from outside.
"Time to relay more bad news," William didn't know why, but out of late he started to bring tons of bad news to others. But this thing was bad news, and everyone had to learn about it, learn how to correctly deal with it.
As William finished dealing with this wave of Wrathers using the help of this storm and bear, he left and returned back to check on the spiral area.
He was at least thirty kilometres away from it. As he got closer, he felt like something was wrong.
The air from far away looked dark, black like darkness was there. This was still daytime, with light prevailing all over the world.
When he checked closer, he found out that such darkness didn't come from anything rising up from the ground as he expected, but from such black clouds filling the sky above that place.
It looked weird, as there were no such clouds before. And these clouds seemed to be not moving an inch, as if the laws of this world didn't apply to them.
"Hmm… I never saw such a thing before," William stopped just less than two kilometres away from this area, while feeling totally unsettled by this.
It was expected for him to not recognise these clouds. If anyone from the Fate Sacred Cult was here, they'd have instantly recognised these clouds.
They weren't harmful to anyone, at least not by a single cluster of these clouds. If William moved underneath them, he'd find nothing happening at all.
The real danger would appear when all this region would be covered by these clouds. But for now, William just scanned the area using his spirit sense. And he found no trace of the spiral shape around.
"At least it's gone," William wanted to take out one of his two weapons and test the area under the clouds. But when he thought about the possibility of losing one weapon to just test a single area made him refrain from doing so.
"More news…" William rolled his eyes when he took the Bullets out and started to relay more news to everyone.
They started to grow used to his new habit of his. Besides everything he warned them against were quite novel to them.
Black clouds that didn't move an inch and seemed unrelated to the world around? Not getting affected by wind or anything? A storm that anyone getting inside wouldn't get out from? These were all new things that they never heard about before.
William then moved away from this place, and this time he decided to roam the places he marked before and test things out.
The next day, he kept visiting places with evidence of formations being laid there. Each time he did that, he ended with destroying these formations, releasing the same black clouds, and also tons of Wrathers.
