Chapter 96 The Terrifying Scarlet Bears
William knew if they ever asked for the help of those elders and patriarch, then they'd end up failing in the end.
And even if he tried to tell them what he knew, none would ever believe him! Instead of helping him out, they might even imprison them in a place they wouldn't be able to get out from until it would be too late to do anything.
"I… I have to go and seek help from my older brothers and sisters then," Berry looked around again, and this time William didn't stop her. "Let me go and look for them… Don't leave here, ok?"
"We will wait for you," William didn't mind the look of worry and fright on her face while watching Berry briskly move towards one direction before vanishing.
As he watched her leave, he became lost in thoughts.
'This monster outbreak… No way! Don't tell me it's happening!'
'No way! When I researched about it later on, I got to know that they needed much time to prepare such a wide scale invasion. This is soon, too soon to use such a deadly tactic to destroy us.'
'But… It's a monster outbreak of grade three and it's formed entirely from scarlet type monsters! There is no way it's like that damn outbreak from that time…Can it be?'
His thoughts kept wrestling against themselves while he was squeezing his brain, trying to remember anything he missed.
But there wasn't!
Facts were like this… When that deadly doomsday happened, monster outbreaks all over the world were all grade three.
Monster outbreaks were classified into five known grades by the terms of this world. Grade five was the weakest and smallest, while grade one was the deadliest and scariest.
Of course, he got to call what happened and ended this world as a grade zero monster outbreak.
It was on a scale that no one had ever seen or imagined existing. And it started with a grade three warning just like that.
And all the monster outbreaks all over the world were formed of scarlet monsters, just like what was happening right now.
The trick that monsters did was to keep the deep regions of the forests scattered all over the world forbidden on any human.
And there, they bred the most terrifying kind of monsters, scarlet bears.
Scarlet bears shared the same origin as the scarlet monkeys he killed before. They followed the same pattern and attitude, very bloody, very brutal, and they always moved in great numbers.
But there was a catch, they needed lots of time to grow, and they needed a zone free of any dangers. Or else their numbers would always stay small and stagnant.
Facing a couple hundred scarlet bears wasn't an issue for any gold grade spirit master. They were like scarlet monkeys for low grade spirit masters just like William.
But if one thought about tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of these bears, or even millions of them, then the situation would become very terrifying.
Not even a dark gold elite group would escape alive from them. And in such a deadly battle of life and death, dealing with them must be on the premise of killing these monsters and not just running away.
William still recalled the scenes from his past. The sheer number of scarlet bears coming up, leading a grander army of other scarlet monsters like leopards, lions, tigers, elephants, and even monkeys was really something no one would easily forget.
Even if he faced many dreadful situations after that, including his fight against that damn fox, William still placed this event on top of the list of his deadliest and scariest moments in his entire past life.
At least he was the one he sought that fox out and prepared for too long to fight him.
And now he had this gut feeling that such a tragedy was about to replay itself again, and this time it was directed solely at him.
Without the need to think too much about it, he already guessed the reason behind that.
'That damn bastard who stole the papers from Berry must have delivered it to the monster leaders…' This was the only reason William got to explain all this.
Monsters weren't like humans, they had ties and strong relations with the outside world. Seeing these techniques would indicate that the one who did these was just someone with ties with the outside world.
And that was something monster leaders truly feared to the bone.
They would never allow such a person to exist.
'No… I'm thinking about it in the wrong way…' William thought about all the facts he knew so far, and all told him his guess just now was wrong.
Whoever took the techniques from Berry wouldn't link these with him, but with her. 'I was just unlucky enough to be here…' he paused, looked around, 'or was I lucky?'
This clan… It wasn't a bad clan in his eyes. They stuck to the rules of supporting humankind and fighting monsters without showing any signs of betrayal.
They were one of the strong backbones of the academy, strong spirit masters who shouldn't be allowed to fall here.
He knew what was coming, knew how this disastrous battle would develop. And no matter what, such a clan alone was weak and vulnerable against any grade three monster outbreak not to mention this deadly one.
Even if things didn't go that wrong, and the enemy couldn't muster up the same terrifying number of scarlet bears like what happened in his past life, this was a clan and not the academy or the kingdom.
The patriarch here held some kind of reputation and respect, but that didn't mean all strong clans around would answer their call for help.
Many would back off and watch such a strong opponent fall for many reasons. Be it stemming from the deep sense of competition or rivalry, or even the direct orders from monster leaders and dark spirit masters to their traitors to not help; it didn't matter.
