"All of us?" Ibra asked while being the only one here excited about this.

"Prepare everyone, only Remy and Trevor will stay behind," William moved his eyes among others, before landing them over the two old men, "and don't ask, you aren't welcome to tag along."

"This…" Kong was about to ask the same thing, yet William was half a step ahead and rejected his thoughts.

"Don't worry, I kept your granddaughters safe for all this time," William knew they were just caring about Sara and Berry, "and on top of that… They aren't that weak anymore."

Like this, William's intentions to go out were fulfilled. And without realising it, he was heading to meet someone he wanted to meet for a long time, an enemy of his!

William's selected team wasn't in the city all the time. So, it took roughly three days to prepare. William took this time and brought a small part of the stocked war supplies with him. Be it elixirs, high grade weapons, and even grenades… He brought everything.

"Last chance… We are here anyway so we won't miss anything by accompanying you," Lucas stood in front of a huge gate of this city, alongside Kong and Panther as well.

Panther knew these two from before, but never got to befriend them until William appeared in the picture.

"No thanks, we can handle this," William paused before adding, "the world belongs to the new generations, not the old ones. Always keep that in mind."

William's words held deep meaning behind. Then he left after saying these words alongside a team of two hundred, handpicked spirit masters from the guild.

They might look few, but William wasn't that interested in quantity but quality. He got his guild to deal with having huge numbers on his side in times of great wars. But to him, he always saw in these two hundred what it was worth investing his time and effort.

He paid extreme care for gems, and he found lots of them in the huge masses that joined him. After five years, his guild got more than one hundred thousand spirit masters in it, not including those working for the secondary profession department.

"This time, I won't let you separate from me again," as they marched in the big road leading out from the Scorching Lands, Berry said.

She was referring of course to the two times they went out for adventure five years ago. At that time, she was struggling to raise her power up, and was indeed a liability over William.

But in the past years, her spirit grade rose up and she reached the gold grade. Like her, Sara also was at gold grade, but at a higher stage than Berry.

"Don't worry, this time I won't need to run away or something like before," William kept hearing this reminder every single time they went out for adventure in the past years.

"Tsk! I hate walking like this without stretching out every now and then," Ibra waved his glaive again, and the team members got the lesson pretty hard before to let enough space around this mad spirit master.

Mad or not, he was one of the strongest spirit masters in the entire team right now. He joined William when he was at gold grade. So, it wasn't a surprise for him to reach the dark gold grade after all these years.

But he wasn't the only dark gold master in the team, there were nine others. Of these, the old five silver members who joined William before coming to the Scorching Lands were part of them. In addition to that, Sith and two of his old team also reached such a stage.

Like this, one hundred spirit masters moved out from the Scorching Lands city. They were all clad in black cloaked coats, with an emblem of golden fox on their chests. As they walked along the main road, they attracted the attention of many almost instantly.

It wasn't a secret how the elite team of the Fox guild looked like. The Black Tails team always held its own fame among the locals in this region. And seeing such a number of spirit masters of the team walking together made many speculate this was the entire force of the elite team.

Even if they attracted such attention, none tried to approach or speak to them. The Fox guild got a huge fame, in addition to a fearsome impression in the spirits and hearts of all living in the region. Many admired them from far, not risking getting close to them.

William walked in the middle of his elite team, while many kept gossiping about him. His face was already known to many, and he was known to live a secluded life.

People might have seen Sara, Ibra, Berry, Lang, Peter, Sith, and many others of the famous vice leaders and top names in the Black Tails team a lot, but not William. William was known as a hermit spirit master, rarely going out, rarely seen walking down the streets of the city.

The entire guild was run by many, not him. He was just the mastermind behind all this, not appearing in many occasions, and even hiding from any public sights for months.

In the eyes of those around, this was a grand gathering of celebrities of the Scorching Lands city.

The team had to travel for almost two weeks before spotting monsters. All this region was safe and void of monsters and danger, also void from excitement.

Once they spotted monsters, Ibra couldn't control himself and ran directly towards them.

"Hahahahaha! Old times are the best, hahahahaha!" he kept laughing while killing the group of a hundred monsters he just spotted.

"Don't laugh this way," William rolled his eyes, "they are just weak bronze rabbits."

"But they are still monsters!"

"It's like seeing an adult bullying a kid," William bitterly smiled, and Ibra simply ignored him and kept killing the rest of these rabbits. He even kept his power and didn't use much strength, hoping for this amazing feeling to last forever.
