Chapter 222 The Battle Escalates Beyond Imagination!
William kept walking away, heading towards his place. All the way there, he spotted a few familiar faces rushing over here to help.
He saw the headmaster, the old man of the library, a few of the elders he met before in his trial, even the fourth elder of the Long clan!contemporary romance
Seeing them hurry to arrive towards the arena made William know the dark spirit masters back there were destined to suffer more losses.
William didn't know that a grand alarm rang all over the academy and its affiliate clans. Many scary figures were rushing here at the fastest speed, and in the next few hours, the battle reached the climax.
William went inside his home to find Berry waiting for him at his home's doorsteps.
"What's going on? Do you know what's happening?" once she saw him, her all tense face eased a lot. She blurted out all these questions in one breath, making him inwardly sigh.
"Everything is fine," he was the one who brought all this mess here, "but it's not safe to remain outside. Go inside and let's barricade this place."
"No, she is coming with me," just before Berry would say anything, ask more about what troubled her all this time since the start of all this chaos, a figure flashed and appeared next to her.
It was the butler William met before at the Long clan's patriarch's place, Lude!
"You… What are you doing here?!!" Berry was shocked to see the butler's face here.
"This isn't a safe place," Lude gave William a long glance before adding, "if you want, you can tag along with us."
"No thanks," William knew Lude didn't have any orders but to protect Berry. As for asking him to come with him, it was out of his appreciation for what he did to Berry.
But William didn't need to do any of that. First of all, the two sisters were inside, activating their physical spirits.
He didn't want anyone to see them in such a stage and didn't want to interrupt them at such a crucial stage of their evolution.
Not to mention he already had what he needed to protect this house. He planned to use the concealment array, hiding his and the other two girls' presence from the eyes of anyone outside.
"But…" Berry was confused, moving her eyes between William and Lude, without knowing what to say or do.
"Just go," William urged her to leave, "you'll be in safe hands with him," he said these words while giving a serious gaze towards Lude.
And the latter didn't react, as this was already his prime task.
"I'll see you tomorrow then," Berry had to leave with her clan's patriarch, while William watched them move away from this place.
William didn't know where Lude was taking Berry, but he was quite sure it was somewhere safe. He threw all this behind his mind, and started to form a big concealment array, much bigger than the one he formed before at the headmaster's garden.
After all, the size of the house was much bigger than the garden.
Then William entered the house, closed the doors, and sat on one of the seats in the big hall.
He knew such a battle was chaotic and hard to predict or control. Having few of the spirit masters fighting near this place wasn't something weird or shocking, yet it was still quite dangerous.
If not for the two sisters being in the house, he'd prefer to stick along Berry and Lude.
As he expected, in just a few hours, the sounds of brutal fights rang closer to his place. But this didn't last for more than one hour before the voices faded and slowly vanished.
William mistook the battle to end, lest he knew its location just got shifted outside the academy. The battle kept going on for the rest of the day until darkness spread.
The battle already reached the deep parts of the forest, stirring lots of monsters there. The moment darkness appeared; it announced the end of this battle.
The formidable spirit masters on the academy side didn't want to end the battle. They finally managed to find such a large number of dark spirit masters, and it was a golden chance for them to get rid of all of these bastards.
When darkness spread over the world, trying to find a single one of those dark spirit masters was a futile endeavour. At the same time, it'd be quite risky to try and actively seek them out.
Tables turned around the moment the sun died down and light vanished. Dark spirit masters were sons of darkness, and trying to hunt them down in such circumstances was quite suicidal.
However, that didn't change the current mood of the academy spirit masters. They killed lots of the dark spirit masters this time, and they also got a more beneficial thing, clues!
Most if not all of the dark spirit masters exposed today came from the outer teams the academy Spar arena got. Many were just randomly allocated teams, but others were known names with their places known.
Not to mention many of these teams got ties to various powers either inside or outside the academy.
Just after the battle got concluded, the headmaster issued a grand meeting for all the big figures who participated in this battle. They started to study the data they knew about various teams, marking other places they had to visit.
The small incident William started snowballed to a terrifying degree that would last for weeks later, result in the fall of many dark spirit master forts all over the forest surrounding the academy, and even impacting the upcoming plans of the dark spirit masters regarding the big spirit master competition.
It was like William's small incident was the fuse that got ignited, releasing a deadly explosion that created a storm of fire, sweeping everything in its path.
William didn't know any of that, and never thought that such grand escalation that went beyond even the dreams of the formidable spirit masters in the academy when they started their wide hunt and search would end up helping him.
