William wanted nothing more but to go out there and see how these monsters appeared. But he trusted the strong masters to do such a task for him. All he did was spread out his spirit sense and try to watch everything happening outside like everyone else.
It was indeed weird, having such a big fight happening nearby and they didn't take part in it. This was by far the first time William didn't throw himself in the middle of a hectic battle, didn't even consider going there and joining the fight.
Even when the city's masters were ready for the incoming monster assault, it still proved to be hard to stop the herds of monsters coming towards them. Luckily the damage that man did wasn't that severe, didn't touch the key defences nor the grand structure of the city.
Walls, towers, and even trenches, and traps were all intact. That helped the masters to reduce their losses, slowly grinding the monsters with the passage of days.
Gradually the number of monsters coming started to decline before it suddenly vanished on day seven. No one knew where they came from, or why they suddenly stopped coming like this.
It wasn't the normal situation of the monster tide in the world. Monsters would come in large numbers, but when they'd know the battle would be a loss, they'd turn around and run.
Masters were prepared for the expected and usual chase for many days in the woods, but none of this happened. With the fall of the last monster, the entire world returned to look quite peaceful again.
"They are asking for advice about this weird situation," Lara said while looking at William as if she was looking at a fortune teller.
She and others knew how William was different from any other master they met, and yet that was just limited to his vast and unique knowledge, his weird way of doing things, and his hard to understand decisions on many occasions.
But this time, it felt like William was able to read the future. He warned the city masters about that man, then warned them about the illogical monster tide.
One had to know that this city and the entire region around it was void of any monsters. It was considered a safe haven, and just thinking about meeting a single monster anywhere around was mere fantasy.
As for speaking about the monster tide coming here, people would call anyone claiming that to go crazy or something.
Everyone here used their enhanced spirit sense after passing through the dark gold threshold and witnessing part of the ongoing battle. They also saw how monsters kept coming until the very last one of them fell. And then there were no more monsters to hunt.
If not for the densely packed dead bodies of monsters, stretching out for tens of kilometres around the city walls, then no one would believe such a thing actually happened.
"Let them send many teams out," William paused, trying to recall anything he might have missed from the scrolls he read a long time ago, "let them look for the source of these monsters. It's not normal for such a grand number of monsters to appear here."
"It's normal for monsters to appear here in the first place," Sara sighed, while everyone nodded in agreement, "now what shall we do? We already got over that terrible backlash… Are we going back to the Scorching Lands city?"
"No," unlike what everyone expected, William shook his head, "We are going to keep spying on that man."
"What?!!" Even Lara, who was in the middle of relaying his past advice over to the city leaders, couldn't help but freeze in place, "Do it again?!!!"
"We need to," William shrugged, "this man is quite dangerous. We need to at least figure out where he is hiding, capture and interrogate him to know who stands behind in the shadows."
His words made sense, but he didn't expose everything. The reason behind his weird decision was actually his hunch. He got such a feeling, one that told him that man was now severely wounded, a perfect target to spy on.
He didn't know why he felt that, or what made him jump to such a conclusion, but he was sure he'd miss it big if he didn't do that. He was curious to know everything about that man, and so he made up his mind and decided to take the risk.
As he intended to do it, everyone else didn't have any say in this but to play along. William then left Lara to relay more of his words about what to do, and most of what he said wasn't actually needed.
The city was filled with tons of masters, with a shitload of experienced and veteran ones. They already knew if a monster outbreak happened without any proper cause or explanation, then there was a high possibility for other waves to come.
As for repairing the damage, rebuilding the areas vacant, and even sending out teams to search for the truth, all of these were already decided by them.
William took more organs, and spread them around over his friends. They stood in their designated places, before entering the fate and destiny world again.
This time they weren't happy or excited about the world. In fact, they all felt gloomy. The backlash they all suffered was a horrible experience, and the worst thing was that it didn't heal by anything else except time.
"Let's do it," As they arrived there, William was eager to see if his hunch was correct or not. And if he was right about this, he was curious to know the reason.
The man vanished without a trace and didn't even face a single master. William never felt like this until the monster outbreak got crushed and ended. Before that, he never had such a feeling at all.
"Are you sure?" Lara was hesitant, like everyone else, "It's not too late to retreat…"
