As he gave the green light to them, all the masters started to do as he said. The moment they did, they felt a sudden surge of an insane amount of spirit power, coming from the man they landed their hand on. This was enough proof to wipe away any doubts they had about William's words from earlier, and now they believed what he said.
They were going to absorb the spirit power of this monster, add it up to them, and then raise their grades and stages. It was like a dream, and even old masters knew this was a once in a lifetime chance.
The moment William started to say the incantation with others, he felt the greatest amount of spirit power coming from the monster. He didn't mention this to any, didn't say that the ones sitting closer to the monster would benefit more from those sitting at the rear.
That was why William made sure to place his friends and two team members in the first few circles. Then he placed the masters who came from the other world. Even if they weren't part of his guild for long enough, they were going to live their entire life with him and his guild.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGiving them such help was enough to make them feel indebted to him, deepen their ties with the guild, and turn them into undying loyal members of his guild.
At the same time, he let Sloth and a few others of those who he got to know during this adventure in the inner circles as well. He needed them to act as connecting nodes, ones to bridge the spirit power from one circle to the ones outside.
As they started to absorb the monster's spirit power, they got engulfed with a layer of concentrated spirit power. This was why William didn't care about that master anymore. This layer was enough to stop anything, literally anything in the world, as it got the ability to absorb any spirit power without any limit.
That meant if that master decided to attack them, he'd be giving them a huge helping hand. And yet that master wasn't feeling any rage or bitterness at all while watching all this.
"You think you got me here, damn brat! Hmph! You know nothing of the world yet, greenhorn…" The master was sitting in his grand mansion, suddenly laughing while watching everything through a water mirror item in front of him, "there isn't just one pet out there, but two… You idiot, hahahaha!"
The master didn't act thanks to his worry of the retribution he'd face from doing so, or from the cost he had to pay if he descended to that tiny world, nor from William's technique or companions. He got another Scarlet Bear monster away from here, and that monster was going to be a replacement for the one William was going to kill.
That was why he didn't respond to William's taunts, and yet he was amused by this kid. He looked at William's reflection over the surface of the water while wondering how such a kid knew many things about the outer world.
William didn't act as if he was on impulse, he acted out of his knowledge of the rules of the outer world. He knew what this master needed to do to come to the tiny world, knew about the hefty price that master had to pay, and seemed to know about how to get out from there.
If he knew all this, and he was just a youngster in the tiny world, then it meant there was a huge secret behind William. Instead of feeling enraged or something, that master felt more interest in William.
He was one who was obsessed with gathering weird and unique stuff from the tiny worlds. And William looked like the newest nice addition to his collection.
"Work hard and grow stronger, as soon enough we are going to meet again," the master muttered before shutting down the water mirror item he had. And at the same moment, William heard the master's voice perfectly clear in his mind, as if that master was just standing next to him.
He was tempted to open his eyes and check the world around him, see if that master arrived here or what. But if he dared to do so, the entire formation would collapse, and he and everyone might end up with severe backlash on top of that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe resisted the urge to look over for that master, as he knew even if he ended up landing here, he didn't have anything in his power to stop them.
But if William got tempted to interrupt the entire process of his own volition, then things would go south drastically for them.
As he focused on absorbing the spirit power coming from that monster, he could feel himself growing stronger at an alarmingly fast pace.
"Will I be able to see it again?" as he was close to crossing the dark gold threshold, he was excited about meeting the fox spirit one more time.
The last meeting was a bit hectic and didn't go well. On top of that, William never had time to check the technique left by the fox on his back. And frankly, he didn't need to check it anymore.
It felt bad at first, and yet after going to the other world, he felt better. Two spirits were merging together, while the third was causing little problems that didn't threaten him.
He didn't know that even the dog spirit was already kicking in a merge, only waiting for him to arrive at the dark gold grade to show such results. William kept madly absorbing spirit power like everyone else. And as all were progressing quite fast, he also got closer to the dark gold threshold fast.
"I'm there… Let's meet, old fox," he was excited the moment he felt something tucking inside him as if a locked door got opened or something.
