Chapter 737 Arthur



William could tell how arrogant and full of himself this man was. And yet he didn't act like this with him. Instead, he turned to William and started to explain things over.

From what he said, and he spoke in great detail, this formation was something devised a long time ago to overcome the troublesome fate and destiny protected figures.

Using this formation would lessen the severe backlash expected from spying over the fate and destiny of people like William by folks like this man. At the same time, there were few limitations, and little risk here and there.

For example, for the formation to work, the person in question had to be present and fully cooperative. Without the consent and cooperation of William, this formation wouldn't work.

At the same time, the one hundred masters taking part in the formation had to suffer any severe backlash that might happen at any moment. Not to mention if someone like William had ties with other scary figures, then it was going to be a rough ride for these one hundred masters if they accidentally triggered the fate and destiny of that scary monster.

And from the words of that man, William knew they did indeed plan to target that monster.

To William, there wasn't a single risk at all. In fact, he got the chance to take part in such a formation, see how the fate and destiny world looked like. Not to mention he was going to take a look over the fate and destiny of his enemy as well.

"In brief, you are taking all the risk and I won't suffer anything… So let me ask you this, why?"

"I just told you…"

"That doesn't add up," William tried to act as polite as possible, holding back most of what he wanted to say, "why not cut the chase and tell me directly everything?"

"..." the middle-aged master didn't expect William to be this straightforward. He hesitated for a moment before telling William the real story.

William never thought all this started by his accidental visit to that old man. "I understand, fine… Let's do it then," he already made up his mind, even before he heard that story.

The moment he announced his agreement, the expression of the man in front of him eased up and even a happy expression appeared there.

The next few minutes the entire place went hectic. The first thing that man did was to properly introduce himself. "I'm Arthur, the leader of the entire Western Continent branch."

"I'm honoured to meet you," William nodded as he cupped his hands in greeting, "what do you want me to do?"

"Nothing much," Arthur paused, turning to his group before adding, "just a few drops of your blood… We'll make the formation now, and at certain spots we'll need your blood."

"Sure," William could already guess why they needed his blood. It was like the consent of his towards the entire operation.

He wasn't concerned about giving them his blood, but more interested in the formation itself. He wanted to see what this entire Cult used to do, how they used their powers. The only chance he got to watch them in action was when the old man back at the city read through the fate and destiny of the Transformers.

Back then he didn't place that much interest in what the old man did. And now he finally got the chance to witness the high circle of the Cult in action.

The first thing they did was to draw something on the ground. From the first glance, it was a bit similar to how the normal masters laid down the formations. But when William closely watched, he could spot many differences here and there.

The first thing he spotted was the material they used for drawing the lines. It was something like a white powder, something that would come out from crushing the bones of a monster or something.

William tried to take a bit of this powder, but Arthur stopped him. "We only have enough to make one formation."

William didn't have any option but to nod, while his eyes fell over that powder in great interest. He wanted to take this powder and study it. "I can wait until the formation is over," he consoled himself. After all, this powder seemed to work as a power channel, not the main source of energy to fuel this formation.

The second most glaring difference William spotted was the shape of the formation these masters were drawing on the ground. Normal masters used to make formations in the shape of headed stars or a complete circle. Yet this one didn't look like this.

It had a weird and vague shape that looked like random lines drawn on the ground. There was nothing to unite this shape except for all the lines to intercept with each other. Aside from this weird shape, there were many dots that looked like diamonds. And when William counted them, he realised they were the spots where the one hundred masters were going to stand at.

Their number was one hundred and one, and that was the total number of Arthur's group and himself. After drawing this shape, the masters started to take out materials.

The materials used were the main source of power. And from the first glance, William couldn't help but recognise them on the spot.

"You seem to know what these materials are," As William was keeping a close eye on the Cult members' actions, Arthur also was keenly watching him. And he couldn't help but notice the slight change on William's face when they took out the materials.

"They don't like they belong to this world," William didn't admit his knowledge about these materials, and yet he didn't admit it. He simply gave such a random excuse, which was also quite logical.

After all, these materials came from the outer world, and he knew all of them, "I saw many of these back in the city."
