Chapter 1239: Artefact Spell
As Jenny realised this point, she changed direction, didn't return to the underground city directly. Instead, she went towards the nearby forest, luring that master watching her into that direction.
As for William, he knew she was going to find a way to get out of Sara's mother's grasp for now. He said too much to make her believe he was someone from the outer world, and that was something to use against Sara's mother.
"She is really adamant at getting me killed," William was about to return to the city when he spotted three cloaked figures appearing from far away. They didn't give him the vibe of being at the very pinnacle of power in this world, and that meant they were indeed from this world.
"She was fast to hire assassins, it's indeed true that cockroaches know where other cockroaches live," he scoffed, placing Sara carefully on the ground, "it's time to release all this on you. Come, let me vent out some steam with you."
As he expected, these three weren't that strong dark masters. Sara's mother didn't know that yet, but the magnitude of dark master powers in this area of the world was by far the lowest right now.
William didn't know how she could find these dark masters in such short notice. Only a few days have passed since Sara's mother arrived here. And yet she managed to find three dark masters in areas around Lara's city.
"At least they are very weak," William killed two easily, and the third got a hard time in dying as William tortured and extracted news from him. From what he learnt, it seemed Sara's mother spread over her men, "she is trying to rally any dark master forces in the region to attack me. Poor lady, she doesn't know how futile this move is, hahaha!"
William couldn't believe that the cleanse of dark master forces from this area years ago would come with such benefits now. He knew Sara's mother was desperate to find any dark master force, and she had to gather these three random bandits from the nearby mountains where they lived.
They never worked together before, but thanks to the rich ransom she declared, they met and came targeting William.
"Keep trying, hahaha," William laughed in such a situation, "you can't kill me, and your alternative ways to kill me failed. What will be your next move, old lady?"
William said these words to empty air, while having the feeling that someone was watching him right now and would deliver this news back to Sara's mother. And he was right, there was someone stationed near his town to watch over everything happening inside and outside it.
And what he said would reach Sara's mother at a later time, and that would make her more enraged than ever.
William then turned into his town. This time, he knew what was wrong with Sara.
"You saved her, that's great!" The moment he came closer to the town, he spotted lots of his guild members outside. They seemed as if they were looking for someone, or something.
"What are you doing outside?" William got puzzled when he saw all these masters from his guild outside. He met with his friends, where Lina came to him with a clear worried look on her face.
"What's wrong?" he couldn't help but feel something bad happened.
"We got attacked, and…" Lina looked at Anjie and others around, before the latter added: "They hurt Berry…"
"What?!!" William felt instant rage, and all the relief and calmness he had vanished, "is she alright?"
"She… She lost her consciousness, the same as Sara," Ro pointed at Sara's weak body carried by William's tails. Stay tuned with m,v le,mpyr
"This… Isn't that bad, right?" William's worry suddenly vanished the moment he heard these words, making everyone around feel confused, "tell me everything, what happened?"
As he heard that Berry got what Sara had, he couldn't help but feel more reassured. He knew what went wrong with Sara, and he knew how to reverse that. And that also applied to Berry.
He realised that Sara's mother didn't depend only on Jenny. In fact, it felt like Jenny's attempt was just a distraction, making him leave the town for her men to infiltrate and attack Berry.
"She sniffed how important Berry is to me just from these brief moments? Scary lady indeed," he sighed while watching his two girls and old friends lying on two beds in one room.
He learnt what happened. A group of cloaked masters attacked the mansion. They didn't kill anyone, but their target was Berry. They released some sort of an arrow, small and fragile, shattered the moment it hit her smooth neck skin and turned into grey smoke.
William knew this wasn't a normal arrow, wasn't actually an arrow at all. It was one of those artefact spells, something that was quite rare in the outer world.
These were built on old scrolls found in ruins, where seemingly the ancient masters used to make. They mix alchemy with blacksmith, making something that wasn't a technique, wasn't a weapon, but it was a mix of both, using alchemy and other complicated stuff to make this bridge succeed.
On top of that, most of these were used by dark master elites. It wasn't a surprise as most of the artefact spells used dark methods to bind one's power and pour its spirit power into the crafted item.
"Thanks for letting me know how you did it," William evilly smirked, turning to everyone before adding, "fetch someone to warn Lara, I want her to stay in the city and not leave until I say so… And ah, send a word back to your father, I need Sloth back with lots of stuff."
He said his last piece towards Anjie, and the latter felt weird about this. This was the first time ever that William would ask her to do something similar. But she was a smart girl to guess what was going on.
She realised that William got the right way to heal the two girls and wanted help from her father about something.
"Do you need me to go personally there…"
