Chapter 17: Attack!
From the peak stage of one star rank, the power level of the eagle increased until it reached the same level as Samuel, the late stage of the three star rank.
Such a tremendous improvement was something that had never been experienced before. And, at this point, Samuel who had just awakened on this particular day, had somehow managed to become only a single stage below the city Lord, the strongest person within the city.
Nobody could have ever dreamed that something like this was possible. And that obviously included Samuel himself.
Considering that his father was only a seven star beast tamer, he thought that he was extremely strong. But right now, thinking about it, it was clear that his father was not that far away from the current stage that he was in.
Of course, that did not imply that his father was weak, but instead, it was just that with the rate of improvement that he was having, as long as he got another huge amount of energy, Samuel definitely believed that it would only be a matter of time before he would be able to reach his father's power level.
Another thing that Samuel noticed was the fact that with the improvement of the power level of the eagle, its size had also increased. From the previous 1.5 meters wingspan, it had increased to 2 meters.
Samuel was not sure about how the size varied with the power level of the eagle. But nevertheless, with its size and strength increasing, then it would be easy for him to be able to deal with the current situation.
Of course, another thing that he knew was the fact that the eagle was definitely stronger than ordinary monsters at the same level. After all, it had been enveloped by the golden light before, which had changed its physique entirely.
With the evolution that it had undergone, it's strength had increased tremendously. And now, Samuel felt that it was time for him to deal with the current situation that they were facing.
….
William on the other hand proceeded to try as much as possible to buy time for Samuel. He did not know what kind of plan Samuel was having, but he thought that if worse came to worst, he would just have to find a way of sending Samuel away.
Even though it was kind of unclear at the moment what kind of talent Samuel possessed, it was definitely not that simple. That golden light that had appeared during his awakening was definitely something that was supposed to be grand done all the lights that they have ever heard of about the level of the geniuses.
As he thought of that, he looked at the group of people that he was currently blocking. And right now, it could be said that all the two star beast tamers within the city had already arrived.
Even though the one star this tamers are also arrived, they kept their distance. The difference between a one-star beast tamer and a two-star Beast tamer was extremely big, something that made it impossible for those one star beast tamers to be able to compete against the two star beast tamers.
Even though they themselves had been attracted over by an opportunity, they just came to see. If they were lucky, they might be able to get something out of this. But of course, they did not have any high hopes about gaining something out of it.
"William, are you going to give us what we are here for, or are you going to let us take it by ourselves?" One of the vice city Lords that had already arrived asked.
William's expression was currently gloomy, as he understood that it was going to get more difficult for him to be able to hold this group of people back.
Initially, it would really have not been that difficult for him to be able to hold this group back for at least 30 minutes. But things changed completely a few minutes ago.
At first, everyone was communicating with him, as they tried to find a way to allow William to give them the benefits from what he had.
But then, that fragrance spread yet again, leading to this group of people finally understanding something. William was here, trying to stall for time. They were not sure about what was going on inside there, but they could not allow it to continue.
To them, it was very clear at the moment that since William was here, there was a possibility that there was someone else that was using the opportunity. As for William here, he was just here as a guard.
That was something that had made them restless, leading to them putting a lot of pressure on William. And at this moment, all of them had already summoned their beasts to their sides, implying that if William did not cooperate, they would not hesitate to attack him.
Yes, this was within the city, where rules clearly stated that fighting was prohibited within the city, but they definitely could make sure that nothing went wrong.
As long as they finished the fight fast enough, and the damage did not spread to the other parts of the city, then the aftermath was definitely going to be easy to handle.
William had also been first to someone his own beast by his side. Considering that the people around him had already summoned their beasts, and were ready to strike, if he was not prepared, he might end up dying.
Of course he was not afraid of an ordinary peak stage two star beast tamer. After all, he himself was also one. But right now, there are a total of three peak stage two star beast tamers, together with several in the late stages.
If they all attacked him at the same time, including the others in the two star rank, he would definitely not be able to hold on for very long. And, the injuries that he was going to suffer if he really managed to get out of here or definitely going to be of a huge magnitude.
The Beast that William controlled was a tiger. Even though it looked like an ordinary tiger, the massive size that it possessed indicated that it was far from ordinary.
As usual, the power level of a monster was the same as that of the beast tamer. That implied that the tiger was also at the peak stage of the two star rank.
It was just that even though the beast tamer was of the same level as the beast that they controlled, the combat power of the two of them was worlds apart.
"I have already told you that there is nothing for you here. The opportunity that I got, I already used it. It is impossible for you to be able to get it. And, don't even try thinking about gaining the secrets or where I got it. After all, that is something that I stumbled upon by chance." William responded, resolution on his face.
All the people around understood that William definitely did not have the intention of hunting over whatever it was that he had. That implied that he was really willing to fight to the death in order to protect whatever he had gotten.
But instead of this scaring them, and making them slightly hesitant, it actually made them even more willing to attack. Something that could lead to William being this determined was definitely not something simple.
So, each and every one of them was eager to get their hands on it. Currently, of course, they were going to deal with the obstruction in front of them, and after that, it would be a matter of who was lucky and who was strong enough to be able to get it.
"Then you leave us no choice. Since you insist on getting all the benefits by yourself, we have got no choice but to strike." The other vice City Lord responded with a sneer on his face.
Immediately after his words, the huge python that he was controlling suddenly began crawling towards William at an incredible speed. And currently, the gap between William and the others was less than 100 meters.
That was something that was going to be covered by the python in just a matter of a few seconds. To the monsters and beasts of such a level, that distance was not something big at all.
The tiger that was controlled by William also bared its fangs before moving ahead and standing in front of William, ready to confront the python.
It was just that It was not just the python that was currently attacking, but instead, the other beasts that were being controlled by the other two star beast tamers were also charging forward.
They understood that if they vote against William one-on-one, the injuries that would be suffered would make them vulnerable. In that situation, it would be impossible for them to be able to get anything, as the others would definitely take the chance to take advantage of them.
So they thought, it was better for them to cooperate with each other, deal with William as fast as possible, before dealing with the issue of sharing whatever was hidden within William's residence.
But just as the monsters were about to collide with each other, they all suddenly froze. Then, William and the other beast tamers all looked towards the same direction, with grave expressions on their faces.
