Chapter 1091 Fang!

Chapter 1091 Fang!

With just a short glance between the two, the king got what Sloth wanted, didn't say anything, and left.

He knew everything about this master's reputation, after all, he was one of the strongest three in the entire world. But he also knew he was a good person, and wasn't the type to do something rash out of impulse.

The worst he could do was to insult William using mean and harsh words, not using any strength or power in the middle. And that was why he and other masters weren't that worried about William.

They all were right about everything, but there was one more thing they didn't know about. That master already stayed on the side all the time, watching how William acted and behaved since the early moments of this war, even before the war started.

He thought at first that William was some lucky master who could guess the right answer out of thin air. But gradually this impression started to change. He started to feel like William wasn't the one he claimed to be, someone he once heard about in one of the ancient scrolls he found at many relic sites he unearthed; a reincarnator!

According to the legends mentioned in that scroll, there was a rare breed of humans and monsters, ones that could get past the doorsteps of death and return to life. Yet as a punishment for doing so, they'd appear in much lower and weaker worlds than their first ones.

"He knows things out of this world, knows things that no one else knows... He always did things differently, using methods no one heard about before... He must be one of these..."

The master wasn't angry at William as everyone thought, and didn't feel insulted by him. Instead, he was feeling more curiosity towards him, wanting to confirm his wild guess.

If that guess was true, then this master could think about a much crazier scenario... "If he is a reincarnator, then he must have come from that higher realm we all want to go... And he knows the right way to go there!"

That is what drove this master to meet William in private like this. He noticed that since the start, every big name here was focusing on William. So it was impossible to meet the lad without getting spied on.

If he tried to seal the space using any means, then things would heat up. He knew better than anyone about his infamous reputation and knew they'd take the wrong idea if he dared to do that.

So in the middle of such chaos, and in such a critical moment, he decided to make his move. As he approached William fast, he saw what the youngster was doing.

"He is making something out of this world indeed, he must be a reincarnator!" he kept telling himself this until he already bought it! In fact, his mark wasn't off the target. But would William listen to his request and show him the way to the outer world?

William was busy assembling the different parts of Troll. The moment he took that Troll Heart out and worked on it, he knew the immense amount of spirit power stored within would leak, reach far and wide, and attract all the scary monsters here.

Yet he never expected this place to harbour flying dragons and the infamous tanked rhinoceros!

This was by far beyond his wildest expectations. "It's going to be hard to stop these..." he muttered to himself when he noticed someone flashing towards him like a rocket, "they must be anxious, and they should be... What bad luck!"

He knew the task he gave to them wasn't going to be easy. The dragons could simply fly over their fortifications and forces come directly towards him. As for these rhinoceros, they weren't the type to stop even if a mountain blocked their path forward.

He knew more about these monsters than anyone here and knew how bad their situation had become. And yet he had a glimpse of hope.

"I need to finish assembling the first stage at least," he watched the huge batch of materials produced and gathered to the side by various Artisans, "the first stage can give these dragons a bit of a headache. As for the rhinoceros... They have to deal with them..."

He planned to tell the incoming master about all this before returning to focus again on the task at hand. They had something to do, and like him, they were racing against time.

Yet the moment that master appeared in front of him, William felt something was off.

"Who are you?" This was the first question he had to ask. This master was new, and didn't recall seeing him before. And yet, he felt a tremendous amount of danger coming from him.

He was strong, hellishly strong! William was now at the high stage of dark gold grade, a stage that could allow him to gauge the strengths of those at the pinnacle. This master gave him the feeling of standing in front of a deadly predator, one who was far stronger than any master he met before.

"I'm Fang," the master said, while sizing William up and down, "you are far stronger than what I heard."

"I never saw you before..."

"That's because I kept myself away from you all this time," Fang laughed, "when you reach my stage of power, you can easily mask your presence off anyone's senses."

"One-half step away from ascension!" William's eyes shone brightly before slowly adding, "We have more chances to pass this with your help."

"I'm indeed here to help, but I have something to ask for in return," Fang didn't feel embarrassed by saying this, "Like anything in the world, you help me and I'll help you in return."

"Wasn't it you help me and I'll help you back?" William raised one eyebrow, knowing that this old master purposely twisted this known saying, not out of coincidence or mistake.
