It was just the same at that night, when she felt something getting stirred up inside her spirit, in response to what he was doing back then.

She felt a little regretful that she wasn't here to see by herself what William truly did. Back then, William got protected by the concealment shield, and all she could feel was weird and unexplained images that popped inside her mind.

This time, William was just tens of metres away from her, and yet she missed watching what he did.

She got the feeling that if she saw him in action, she might get to understand something about her dormant darkness spirit element.

William walked out to be met with Berry throwing herself into her arms. He was totally covered in dust and that brown fluid of the monster. He was in total wreck, and yet that didn't stop Berry.

"I'm glad you are alright!" she whispered while he could feel her body tremble faintly out of her worry and concern.

"Don't worry, it's all over now," William surrounded her with one arm, trying to reassure her worry.

"Did you see what caused all this?" Ibra moved fast and appeared next to him. He looked in doubt towards William. And before the latter would say anything, Sara spoke first.

"He is the one who did all this," she motioned with her head towards all this mess. And when Ibra gave her a weird look, she calmly smiled as she added:

"He isn't that simple, don't let him trick you on that."

"Tsk, I never knew you had such a card up your sleeve," Ibra shook his head, regretting like Sara the chance he missed to see the true depth and might of William.

"The monster… Is it still alive?" Lang and others came while he said in doubt. The entire place was already covered in dust, and the hole they were in moments ago seemed to be masked with a thick veil of dust.

"It's dead for sure," one of the silver members responded, "I find it hard to believe anything can survive such a hit."

"Let's check on it once things settle down," William was the one who launched this deadly technique. And yet he realised he still knew nothing about his formidable creation.

The way the arcs of light acted back then made William doubt this was the same technique he developed before.

He was sure the monster was already dead. And that wasn't the problem they should worry about right now.

"Do you remember this array?" As everyone kept looking around, trying to see anything in the middle of all this dust, William suddenly took something out and raised it high enough for everyone to see.

Despite using his technique successfully, he still got around thirty percent of his spirit power remaining.

"Isn't this one of the arrays you made us memorise before?" Peter asked as he instantly recognised this array.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"Yes," William nodded, not lowering his arm as he added, "I want ten, at least bronze grade, with one at the silver grade, to execute this array."

"Right now?"

"Where?"

"Are we going to use this array?"

"What's special and urgent about this array?"

Many exclaimed in doubt, while few gave William a meaningful gaze. Ibra, Sara, Lang, Peter, and the silver grade members could already see through the intentions behind his words.

"We caused all this mess," William could tell that most of his team members here didn't get what kind of danger they were all in, "and in such deep parts of the forest, it's expected for terrifying beasts to get attracted to this place."

pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ "Is it a concealment array?" Sara's eyes flashed in realisation, but William shook his head after nodding once. "What… What does that even mean?!"

"It's a concealment array, but it's not that effective as one," William paused for a moment before explaining further, "the monsters around this area for tens of miles already got attracted to here. And so, trying to conceal this place is a futile move."

"This…"

"We need something to defend and secure this place," William paused, placing that scroll he held in his arm down on the ground, stabilising it using a small rock, "I'm going to call back the five scout members. It's quite dangerous to let them out there alone. You'll lead others to execute this array and secure this region."

"But… The materials…" Sara was the one William asked her to do this task. Out of the vice leaders he got, she was the only one at the silver rank.

"Don't worry about such trivial matters," William touched his ring, and the next moment a pile of materials appeared on the ground, releasing muffled clanging noises. "Make sure to build this array over a three-mile radius. Like this, we'll have enough space to rest, salvage this monster's materials and treasures, and even properly fight the incoming monsters."

"Treasures?!" Peter asked in confusion, and William's face couldn't help but brim with a bright smile.

"This is a gold grade, rare breed, giant monster," William gave them a few moments to absorb his words, "every single metre in that monster is a gem! The scales, the poison in its blood, the weird teeth and mouth part… Even eating its flesh is something that can help our bodies get stronger."

Once he said his words, everyone's eyes flashed in realisation and greed. They realised how big they struck this time, and they couldn't help but turn towards the direction of all the dust around, imagining great loot from this monster.

"Everything gained belongs to the team," William suddenly said, "Berry is responsible for storing all the gains from this monster. As members of the team, you can have up to ten percent in total gains from the monster, after paying what you owe me of course."

William said it, and the bright looks on everyone's face changed slightly. Yet when they recalled how generous and kind William acted towards them, and when they realised that without these gears, fighting and surviving against this monster was going to be a mere dream, they couldn't help but feel a lot better.
