"This..." when William said the last words, he turned to Anjie as if he was speaking to her. She was surprised a little, before looking at the floating balls of lights following them since the battle ended.
She asked him before about these, and he simply said they were his enemies, and now changed sides.
"Who are these again?" Sara and others already noticed the floating balls and the weird guy with a crystal on his forehead. Their minds ran wild with many thoughts, and yet William never gave them any direct answer yet.
"They are his enemies, conquered and now following him," Anjie sighed, as she realised there was no chance in repeating what she had with William anytime soon.
"Enemies?"
"Don't tell me... He is that fcking monster, the one who wanted us dead!"
"Let's kill them then..."
Many exploded when they linked the dots and realised the identity of the Nightmare monster. Many of his friends experienced hell on the hands of that monster before, and they shared years of history with it.
"They are valuable," yet William strictly declined what they asked for, "they are untouchable."
"..." Everyone exchanged looks without saying anything, they all knew how much William despised these enemies, especially the Nightmare monster
He slowly explained to them their identities and values. When everyone learnt about the Transformers identities, they couldn't help but feel more enraged and desire to take a bite off them.
Yet William refused again to touch a single hair of these. He wanted them to spill out the secrets they didn't share with anyone before, even to him.
In less than an hour, they already found a suitable place where they decided to take as home. It was a big hall underground, with one wide entrance, and rocks were coming out from the ceiling and walls.
With all this darkness, the place looked much gloomier. Even when William added a few arrays around to lit the place, it didn't help much.
"You surely are great at picking dimly lit places," William said to the statues, which were now starting to transform back to their solid form, "I'll leave this place like this. I believe you like it this way."
They didn't answer, and kept transforming. The process took around five hours, and William decided to do something else during this time.
He was away from the guild and didn't get the latest updates that happened here. So he used this time to get to know what happened when he was away, and listened to everyone of his friends' opinions and thoughts.
Things were indeed quite interesting and great. They led their teams and trained, evolved and kept getting stronger. According to Lara, many people came from all over the continent to come here, and the number of the guild members tripled since the last time he was here.
Everything was so good, except for the overall spirit power level the guild had. Even with such influx, most masters were either in gold or silver grade spirit power.
They still had a long way ahead of them to grow, even with William's support and his unique training manuals. As for the high end masters, there were still few of them in the guild, not exceeding a hundred.
A hundred out of hundreds of thousands wasn't a good percentage at all. And William knew that. What made him more depressed was the fact that all of them were old farts, without any young masters in that limited list.
To him, depending on this group of old masters was great if he wanted to build a kingdom for himself in this world. But if he wanted to bring a talented team of masters, he'd prefer them to be young.
It's not that he was against old masters, he knew it was hard to fill an already filled cup.
Aside from this, there was a weird phenomenon happening at the underground city, one that started just two weeks ago.
"Are you saying that the rate of the portals increased?"
