Chapter 1084 What Are You Waiting For?
As they learned that, they started to do the same as him, even using any war weapons that could explode, even arrays were used!
They spared nothing to take down these monsters and burn the fog supporting them. As they progressed forward, at last, they started to see the results of this.
Monsters stopped growing stronger the deeper they advanced. In fact, they grew weaker, as if they didn't get enough time to evolve or get support from the fog.
As William's adventure was seen by all the high-end masters, they knew about the ground monsters and were pretty prepared for them. Once they appeared, a small team of high-end masters would sprint forward, taking care of them in the shortest possible time.
As they collaborated together, things became much easier and their losses plummeted by a huge margin.
Seeing such a result made everyone hyped for doing this. They started picking up pace and didn't fear the same fate as William.
But William didn't guess that a few high-end masters were already tagging along, all were trying to watch for his back, planning to interfere if things went wrong.
These were sent out by his friends; the king, Sloth, Panther, and other leaders from the two cities and the kingdom's army. He didn't get that he made such ties with lots of influential figures, enough to send a few of them to risk their lives to keep him safe.
He took three hours to finally head to the end of the valley, to the point where the fog stopped. The last stretch was indeed quite risky, as all the monsters there were at a high stage.
"Let's test my new power then," unlike what everyone tagging behind or watching him from afar thought, William didn't fret when seeing a large gathering of high-end monsters blocking his path forward.
Instead, he looked excited. He stored away his bow and arrows, and started to use his blades and techniques, taking down one monster after another with a single hit each.
This was quite shocking to all. They knew he was strong, but he seemed to grow far stronger than what they initially thought.
"This lad... He is making old people like myself ashamed..." The king was watching everything William was doing, and couldn't help but shake off his head.
"Father, is he alright?" from the side, Anjie got worried the moment her father spoke like this. She knew he was watching William, and that meant he was speaking about her man.
"Get a better hold of yourself, my beloved daughter," the king then started to give her a few life lessons, making her blush from time to time before she finally couldn't handle it anymore.
"I... I'm going out to... To breathe a little air," she hurriedly left the tent, leaving behind her startled father for a few seconds, before laughing at her.
"She is still young, but she is her mother's daughter, hahaha!"
Anjie knew where to go after leaving her father's side. She knew how terribly bad the situation would have been if they didn't listen to William's advice back then. And if that happened, then the best place for her to be safe was by her father's side.
She knew William did this for her, and yet she still regretted not being too strong to be by his side.
"He isn't that far away from me in terms of strength, yet he is able to shoulder all this alone, and I'm just standing by my father's side..." She inwardly pledged to do whatever it'd take to grow stronger, be strong enough to not just be by his side in times of peace, but also at such times.
She felt deep regret not starting to train like others, but when she recalled the furious encounters she had with him, reminded herself that she stayed by his side for the longest time recently and the other girls were all away, She felt a lot better.
"Once we are done from here, I swear to stick to that cave and keep training there no matter what!" she clenched both fists, deciding to do this once they got out of this place.
William was fighting the monsters with excitement and pleasure on the other hand. He even laughed from time to time, making everyone watching him a bit puzzled and confused.
He didn't show fear or hesitation. He didn't stop until all the strong monsters were gone, and then he released his arrows and grenades again, burning the last bits of this fog.
"It's over," he finally heaved a sigh of relief. The fog was burnt, the monsters were killed, and there wasn't any danger lurking here, "I wonder what they are doing out there," he spread his spirit sense wider for the first time since starting such a hectic run.
What he saw made him grin in satisfaction. And when he saw the group of high-end masters tagging along from behind, he couldn't help but raise a hand, and wave to the air, before shouting in greetings:
"Thanks, sirs for coming all the way here to help me, I'm really touched by that."
He never noticed their presence before. He didn't want to miss any sudden ambush or attack from the enemies around and didn't dare to spread out his focus and expand his spirit sense beyond the reach of the nearby battles.
Yet when he saw them, he couldn't help but feel a warmth inside him. He knew these faces, as they were leaders from the two cities he helped before.
"Isn't it time for you to return back?" He waited in his place for ten minutes before they arrived at his side. The moment they did, the oldest one of them asked in curiosity, "We thought you were coming to us, so waited for a few minutes before deciding to come and ask."
"Why shall we return when we can advance and see where these valleys end up?" William winked, before pointing towards the remaining part of the valley, "let's go, we will do a real scout mission this time and will survive, return and tell the tale."
