Chapter 504 The Million Dollar Question

William wasn't aware of any of this. But in the next twelve hours, he and his team finally merged with the unstoppable force of dark gold spirit masters.

They weren't fighting alone anymore. More troops came from the fort and moved to support all the frontlines.

"What are you still doing here?" seeing how terribly looking these kids were, Panther couldn't help but sigh, "go back, retreat and take William away. You… He already did enough!"

Seeing the fox form William was in didn't fool Panther. He simply used his time technique and knew for sure that William was this grand and scary fox fighting all this time here.

"Sorry but…" Ibra handled speaking with such a scary figure on behalf of the team. He paused, exchanged looks with Thomas, Sara, and Berry before adding, "we still have a task to do."

"Don't be stubborn! You indeed did great so far… William, stop this and retreat. There are enough forces here to take down all the dark spirit masters in the region."

Panther spoke with William, to get shocked the next moment. William just hit a group of dark spirit masters when they arrived. And then he stopped.

He and everyone on Panther's side mistook William's actions here. They thought he recognised them and so he stopped, feeling no need to continue fighting.

However, the truth was that the moment they arrived, William was taken aback. He already got used to the sixty something green shadows following him around. Yet the moment Panther and his people arrived here, more green shadows appeared in William's weird world.

William wasn't prepared for this and couldn't get what was going on out there. "Weird…Who are they?" he paused before sighing, "as long as they are green, they are my allies. No matter who they are, they are here to help. Let's go then, show me how capable you are."

William moved his free tail in a motion to invite the new ones to follow. And then he returned to fight again.

This came as a total shock to Panther and his friends. They exchanged looks in doubt, before turning towards Ibra and others as Panther asked the million-dollar question: "What's going on with him?!"

"We… We know nothing," Ibra recalled his last lesson that he and others got thanks to spilling out William's secrets to Ben, "all we know is that he never responds to anything, just moves around and fights like crazy."

"This…" everyone exchanged looks again, "don't tell me he kept fighting like this all the time!! Did he lose his mind or what?!!!"

He was another scary figure in the Panther's team who said these words. More wanted to speak, but with a single raise of hand, Panther silenced them all.

"Tell me, is he planning to fight until killing everyone here?!" Panther was already surprised by William's current situation, especially when news came from the other army led by Alfonso.

Alfonso got their message. And instead of complying and coming to meet them, he sent a detailed message, telling them everything, telling them what was going on, before finally asking them to keep pressuring the enemy alongside his forces.

He feared if the army here withdrew, more dark masters would flood his little army. And so, things would turn bad for him and others.

Even if they got the Scarlet Bears to their side, they had to keep supplementing different fronts with gears stained with the yellow river aura. And that made Alfonso station himself back at the first base he attacked, while his army grew thin, spreading all over the region.

He knew they got some sort of magical solution to control the scary bears, but that was provided that the number of spirit masters on their side was enough to control all of these bears.

And that was the current dilemma Alfonso was facing when he got Panther's message.

The two knew each other from the fort. And so, it went without saying how many deals the two had together. Alfonso added in the end a request. He asked Panther to dispatch part of his army and come to his aid.

That wasn't shocking, but William's role in all this was. Alfonso never ceased singing praises about William in that message, even to the extent that made Panther suspect this man would offer his daughter over to William in the end.

Panther got the message and responded to it using actions not words. He sent a great number of masters from here all the way to Alfonso. At the same time, he sent another message back to the fort, summoning all the remaining forces there under a single banner: It's the final war against all the dark forces in the region.

It all started by William and his team adventuring outside, to end up with a grand crusade against all the dark spirit master forces in the entire region.

The scale of this fight extended for hundreds, and soon enough to thousands of kilometres around the fort. Everywhere masters were fighting dark forces and monsters, everywhere the dark masters were getting crushed and routed. Everywhere the monsters were butchered and massacred like they were little kids standing in front of an unstoppable grand tsunami wave.

They already lost their chain of command, their top fighters, and all that remained behind were weak and scattered forces of theirs.

There wasn't a single safe base here to hide at, not a single formidable force of dark gold spirit masters to shield themselves with. So, it was expected how weak and fragile they felt, how grand and thrilled the normal masters felt.

On this day, all the suppressed rage and hatred that normal masters kept inside their spirits, all the deep running grudges and vengeance they accumulated over long years, finally got a chance to be released over the right targets.

The normal spirit masters didn't let this chance slip by their hands. And that wasn't just limited for the ones who lived in the fort.
