It took them out, appearing outside a black hole, one that wasn't the same as the one they entered before.
William was sure now of his earlier guess. They moved to another black hole space. He didn't need to mark this hole or anything, he got what he wanted to learn and all the black holes were the same.
As he returned back, he found out that he and his friends took roughly a week inside that black hole. The huge war was over, and they won it big!
Sloth was waiting for him with many masters and his friends and team. They were all waiting for his return, to tell him the great news about their victory.
He already expected that and yet he showed his fake excitement and laughed all day. The war held great importance for everyone, and now a brand new territory was available to grab.
It was expected for everyone to be happy. The normal masters got a long dreamt revenge from the despicable dark masters, and their leaders felt they dealt a big blow to such dirty cancer in this continent.
From that day, the dominance of dark masters over the entire continent. The enemies lost it big, and William scored another big score against dark forces since coming back in time.
The wars and battles wouldn't get over, as the dark masters in other regions would see this one as a challenge towards their dominance over the continent. Even if they were cowards, they had to put a stand against such a threat. And from that day a long-term war started for many months and even years.
Aside from all the turmoil that was going to happen in this continent, the leaders of the big cities and formidable masters insisted that William return with them and get decorated and rewarded for his achievements.
They also invited Sloth, and that was mainly out of courtesy. During this war, news spread to the ears of every single leader and formidable master, learning more about how William was the mastermind behind all this, not Sloth.
Yet they decided to keep Sloth in the grand picture, using him as a front to the public. William agreed with the latter to use the chance and make propaganda for his guild.
Sloth was loyal to the Novistic kingdom, and William knew that. So the latter used this as a way to convince Sloth, telling him that this was going to help spread the name of the Novistic kingdom and its glory.
After all, his guild was located at the kingdom's lands, something that Sloth wouldn't disagree or find hard to accept.
William then spent another week attending celebrations and receiving gifts. At the same time, he used this chance to spread out the guild authority in the entire continent. Many cities' leaders arrived or took part already in the war. So it was easy for him to use this chance and speak with them about allocating pieces of land for the guild.
It wasn't a surprise for all to agree, and many even gifted him the lands and even aid and support to build up the guild branches in many cities. The rest gave lots of discounts and promises to support his guild branch and members, helping them in doing their tasks.
This wasn't a surprise not only for William's role in this war and victory but because he told them about the real purpose of his guild. It was a gathering of masters to attack and hit the forts of dark masters across the world, something one of these leaders would argue against.
During all this, William had to accept more masters to come with him on his journey back. When he tried to expand his guild here, everyone got more secure and confident about his intentions to return back.
During this week, they didn't speak that much about what they should do with the newly gained land. William wanted a piece of this rich cake, yet he didn't speak up his mind at this moment.
He decided to wait, giving Ibra instructions about taking any chance to place a foothold there. He wanted to control the Black Holes area, after the rich supply of monsters there.
"You have to learn wisdom and not just handle everything using force," William repeated his warning again for the last time, saying it to Ibra and Tina.
He knew how impulsive the two were, and hoped they wouldn't create trouble and do better than his worries. They just expressed their willingness and intention to lead the guild according to his rules and instructions, before they said their goodbyes to everyone around.
They were standing in front of a black hole, and the last meeting with them was quite emotional. The most devastated one among all was Lina, as this was the first time ever to leave her younger sister behind like this.
William had to hug her and take her away as she seemed to lean towards staying behind at the last moments. He led everyone into the black hole, vanished fast thanks to the insane gravity pulling them away. He was thankful this time for this gravity, as it saved him from the trouble of taking Lina away.
William already instructed the large group of masters about the upcoming challenges awaiting them. He stressed a few points, like never speaking in a loud tone, never shouting, and always moving in teams.
The number of masters coming with him was enough to form a small army, amounting to a few tens of thousands. Most of them were youngsters with high potential, young spirit masters with a golden future waiting for them.
As for the rest, they were formed by the guards protecting them. He knew moving as a whole group or a small army wouldn't work, especially when travelling through the gravitational area.
Once they went into the central space, they started to divide themselves into many smaller groups. This took a day to happen, and William was patient, took a few more hours to inspect the teams, and made sure everything was going fine.
