"I need to start hunting down monsters like this one," Sloth suddenly said.
"Add me in!"
"I'll join such an adventure at any time!"
As Sloth said in his piece, almost everyone started to show their support to do this. William watched them, blinked twice, and didn't know how he should respond to this.
"Finding such a monster? As if they were common cabbage or something!!!" he inwardly cursed, before starting to move, "let's go, we'll head back to Lara's city and rest there for a few days. Then we'll continue our march towards the Scorching Lands city."
William walked back with everyone else until they got out of the Blue Hills zone. There they spotted a huge gathering of masters, all coming here to watch the legendary battle unfolding inside this region.
No one dared to trespass through this area after what happened to the first batch. And even when the small army of masters vanished from their eyesight and spirit sense reach, they didn't dare to step forward.
Yet the sounds of explosions and fierce fighting that happened in this adventure were all heard by all. They were shocked to hear such violent explosions from such a far distance, a testimony to how brutal the ongoing battles were.
The sounds of explosions grew especially when William released the grand technique frequently. Hearing these thunderous noises made everyone scared, trembling out of fear and worry over the ones inside. And yet every time they heard such explosions, they knew there still were few masters alive.
They all had bad premonitions about all this, suspected that at the end only a limited number of masters would return, if any returned alive. Such gloomy and dark feeling intensified the moment the sounds ceased, and the world ushered under weird calmness.
As the army of masters took a few days to arrive at the edge of this region, mostly because William's teams were focused on collecting any loot, and infecting others with such weird habits, the worry over the safety and survival odds of the masters inside escalated to a new height for those waiting at the edge.
Yet the first master who spotted them returning shouted, couldn't believe himself. It wasn't just a few of them returning, but a large number, almost seventy to eighty percent of the army who went inside.
This was quite unbelievable! Masters used to fight against unjust odds, and yet they knew their survival odds were so low. In such a legendary battle, the army of masters triumphed over their enemies, cleared the region from all the scary monsters, and ended up returning with most of their force.
That was simply a miracle! One that started to spread like wildfire in the entire community of masters and even normal people living on this continent, and then in the entire world.
This battle was destined to be narrated as a bedtime story for small kids, to teach them that against hard odds, failure wasn't a guaranteed result.
When the army of masters climbed up the edge of this region, they were welcomed as how heroes should be. Many shouted and celebrated their safe return, while tons asked about what happened, wanting to know everything in great detail.
The masters who experienced all this felt proud of what they accomplished and started to warmly answer anything thrown at their faces. They kept talking and talking until all of the masters arrived back at Lara's city.
The true heroes of this battle were William's guild members, Sloth, and his gang of old masters. They were extremely tired, and William gave them the order to rest and heal, recuperate in the city, and do nothing for a few days.
He decided to reward them by giving them such rest. While they all were excited about this, they couldn't escape the persistence of everyone in the city, inquiring about what happened everywhere they went.
They weren't annoyed by any of that. In fact, they felt like they were enjoying a glory that didn't belong to them. The one who should be here, enjoying all such extravagant treatment was William. And yet the latter closed in on himself and announced that he'd stay locked for a few days, up to a week.
He asked for no one to disturb him, and his words became like a royal edict. No one dared to come near the central building where he locked himself in, not even Anjie, nor any of his girls or friends.
William sat inside that building and started to examine all the gains he had. First of all, and the foremost important gain he had in this adventure, was for his spirit power to grow beyond the dark gold threshold.
"I gained three thousand and five hundred spirit points above the dark gold threshold… Like this, I can enter the mid-stage in less than one year…"
He paused, before looking closer at the crystal he held in his hands. "The spirits… That dog spirit… It's merging with the other two…" he was shocked to see this.
The spirit form in that crystal was quite bizarre. It got the head of a fox, the neck of a snake, the body of a fox, the legs of a dog, and the tails of a fox, snake, and dog!
He didn't have just four tails anymore, but six! The rudimentary and short snake tail elongated and grew to be like the fox tails he had. As for the newly developed dog tail, it was a bit longer.
"Interesting… That means my crisis is over or what?" he couldn't help but heave an inward sigh of relief. He got scared back then when he entered the gold grade, and now this crisis is gone forever.
"What abilities do I have now?" he knew how special the two other spirits were. His fox spirit gave him the Devour ability, and yet the other two didn't give him anything yet.
"Don't tell me I need to wait until they finalise the merge to show off their uniqueness…"
