He gathered everyone together in the first hour, killing lots of monsters that were all gathered up at the edge of the array.
"What took you so long?" The last group he met were led by Ibra. and he seemed a bit annoyed by the large number of flies he kept killing so far.
Against a gold grade spirit master like him, any silver and bronze monster was nothing. So it was expected that the region this dude was in was completely void of any monster.
"I thought you got a nap back there or something."
"Don't consider me as old as you are," William retorted back with a laugh, "it's you who needs to take a short nap from time to time."
"Tsk! Tell me that you cleaned everywhere before coming here," Ibra waved his glaive a couple of times in the air before adding, "I killed all the monsters daring to come here."
"It's all clean around the edge of the array," William moved his eyes around, spotting a large number of silver monsters which lay dead all over the place. He felt little pain from such a loss. "Let's go back, scan and make sure no monster went missing from our hunt."
"By the way," Ibra looked around, moving his eyes among the team members who came with Ibra, "did all those cute scout members come back or what?"
"We came as fast as we could," Smith didn't like the tone of Ibra, stepped forward to speak up for his team, "we did our job, so stop speaking like this about us as if we dragged you back or something."
"You indeed did," Ibra didn't show any sign of appreciation for him or the scout team, "if not, we should have activated the array long before all these flies would dare to come inside."
"Let's stop this useless talk," William knew it was pointless to try and explain how important the role the scout team played to someone like Ibra, "we got lots of area to scan and search, lots of monsters to kill."
"Is this going to stand in front of all the monsters outside?" Lang said, pointed towards the direction of the array, as a large number of monsters started to gather outside.
"It can stay active for two days straight," William moved his eyes among the monsters out there. And to his surprise, he spotted three other scary dudes like the worm and bug he fought and killed before, "don't worry, monsters won't stick in one place for long."
"I hope they'll start killing each other then," Peter said, and others laughed while William knew this was indeed a viable possibility.
Monsters would place humans on the top of their food menu. But without getting access to any, they'd turn their mouths over other monsters around.
So, it was going to end up like this; a big battle would erupt which would kill or scare away most of the monsters here.
Only those terrifying dudes standing out there would keep themselves in wait, watching the array and humans inside in patience and desire.
William knew at the end; he and others would have to fight against those bunch of scary folks. It would be awesome if he ended up getting their cores, after all they were all gold grade rank. But he knew to do so, he'd endanger most of the team, and himself if luck wasn't on their side.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ "Let's start the cleansing operation then," William decided to let such matters for later, worry about them when time would come.
For now, he took the lead, and commenced a wide search for monsters lurking inside the array zone.
They found lots of them, mostly bronze grade, with few at silver grade.
This made William quite dejected. He thought he could get more of these cores, to end up after six hours of fighting and searching with only twenty-nine silver cores!
He could have gotten eighty-three, but Ibra didn't listen to any of his words, and kept attacking the silver monsters first once he spotted any.
"I feel like abusing these bronze and white monsters if I went against them," he just gave out such an excuse, which William knew was all fake.
But what could William do against such a shameless dude? William got limited spirit power and couldn't just jump forward to bypass Ibra and kill these silver monsters all the time.
Yet he tried his best and snatched a few silver monsters from Ibra, driving the latter mad! This became a sort of fun to watch to the other team members, who kept watching and laughing from the side.
"Phew! We finally got it done!" Berry commented when the last group of monsters got killed, "for a moment there I felt like all the monsters in the forest were gathered here!"
"They just followed that dude to eat from what it left," William shrugged before adding, "and who said we are done? We still have to collect their materials, clean up the meat and salt it, prepare to sleep and rest…"
"Hold on! Don't tell me I'm going to do all this!" Berry pouted and complained, making not only William but everyone else laugh.
"Well, you are the one responsible for collecting the materials, so…"
"No, I concede this task, give it to someone else… Sara perhaps," Berry moved her eyes around, finally stopping over Sara.
"Why me? I don't want such a troublesome task."
"Come on! Help me out, please?"
"No way! I want to rest!"
"And who said you are also going to rest?" William raised an eyebrow, as if he just heard something funny or something, "you are going to lead a team, go out on patrol and…"
"Wait! Who said I'm going to do this? I want to rest!" Sara instantly interrupted him, and that made everyone try their best to control their laughs, trying to not make a single sound or else they'd be chosen by William.
