William might seem weak right now, but he was giving her a very dangerous vibe. Everything around him looked very suspicious, and something kept telling her that he couldn't be left out to live, or else he would bring disasters upon her later on.
"If no for my real power is sealed here, tsk!" she clenched her fists, and yet she didn't feel the same awesome strength flowing in her veins. As someone strong in the outside world, the decline of power by being in this low world was quite severe on her.
That was also one of the reasons she decided to pick Jenny for. The latter wasn't strong, so the impact of power decline on her would be much lighter.
"I just hope she won't end up creating problems rather than solving them," she sighed, while her mind recalled everything she knew about Jenny. And simply put, Jenny was a real troublemaker without doubt.
Away from the underground city, William led everyone back to the guild town. The march was almost void of any excitement or talk. Everyone felt terribly bad from what they passed through.
Their guild master asked them to go down there and investigate the monsters. Instead of helping, they got into an enemy trap, getting captured, and had to get rescued by their guild master.
Even when William said it out loud that this wasn't their fault, no one felt better. Seeing him walking while carrying the unconscious Sara made them all blame themselves for that.
William could feel how low the atmosphere was, but he didn't say more than what he said earlier. He knew this wasn't their mistake, but it wasn't that bad to let them feel the pressure.
Masters weren't living a nice and cosy life at all. And having setbacks and self-blames like this time around was something good in the long run for all of them.
To heal a Yin poison, he needed to find a Yang master. As Yin, he never met a Yang master anywhere so far, and he even doubted he would!
"The only option for him is to delay the poison in his body using Yang based herbs and potions..." William muttered to himself while considering this dilemma.
Fang aside from being overly annoying proved his value and worth to the guild and William's plans. The old man was so strong to help them pass through lots of hard times, and he'd play a great role later on in achieving what William wanted.
"Yin is cold, Yang is fire," William kept contemplating on this issue on the way to town, "there aren't Yin or Yang herbs, but there are tons of ice and fire-based herbs. The main issue will be if these herbs can counter an element from the higher world or not..."
He knew he wouldn't know until trying. Even if this method failed, he'd try to find good herbs from the stuff found in the underground city. This might be challenging as herbs never survived for long enough. Herbs needed high quality spirit power to survive, and even storing them never worked.
So he had to seek Lara's help in that regard. As for going back into the underground city and looking for herbs, this would be his last resort.
That lady wouldn't let him find any Yang herbs. And even if she let him look freely, it was a game of luck to find the right herbs, even finding any herb at all.
"You go in there, and I will be back," once they reached the town, William led his core team and friends over to the big central mansion. There he pointed towards a big hall for Fang to stay at while moving to a different direction carrying Sara.
"You are going to treat the chick first and leave me behind?!!" Fang's voice acted as if he got betrayed or something, but William ignored his mean comment though and kept walking.
"Is she going to be alright?" Only Fang was left behind with the boys, while Berry led the girls over and followed William.
