"We have to strengthen ourselves as the monster tides aren\'t that easy to handle," Angelica said, pointed towards the twenty towers before adding, "thanks to these, we don\'t only have a scary offensive might, but they can also spread out a thick shield to protect us from any attacks."

"Hmm… They look nice indeed," William wasn\'t close to any of these towers, so he couldn\'t get what tricks they got to do this. But he could tell they were connected to large formations built underneath the town, ones that could release a thick shield to protect this place.

When he passed the series of gates and walls, he found himself standing in front of a wide street, filled with tons of people, walking and chatting like nothing could endanger them.

He didn\'t like such an atmosphere and could already sniff how peaceful these people lived their lives. He sniffed the same vibe he found at Lara\'s city, something that seemed common at any grand and old place like here.

William followed Angelica into the town, where she led him towards a grand complex with lots of buildings and medium sized walls surrounding them.

He learnt from her that all the clans inside the town had such a complex, acting like their home base. As for the rest of the town, it was filled with common people, ones who didn\'t belong to any clan of the six.

She wanted to let him meet her father, one of the elders at the clan. But it seemed like all the big shots were out, seeking to save her from the ambush from the dark masters led by Edward.

William learnt that the place where Edward came from was a huge city, situated tens of thousands of kilometres away from here. According to her, he was very adamant at marrying her without a proper reason except for falling in love.

But William knew better. He knew the dark masters were never ones who\'d let their hearts rule, but their interest and greed. As he sat his eyes over her, then he must have a good reason for doing this.

As the big names in the clan weren\'t here, she led him to a big house where he\'d live there until her father and uncles would return. William slept for an entire day and night, resting from all the exhaustion he suffered from in the past period.

"Enjoying such a great meal from time to time won\'t harm, right?" When he woke up, he found the table in the entrance hall filled with lots of delicious food. William ate and enjoyed himself to the brim, feeling how long it passed since he ate a proper meal like this.

Beside the meal he found a note left by Angelica, notifying him that her clan\'s big names were still out and wouldn\'t return until a week or so later.

William didn\'t plan to stay here for long. The first thing he had to do was to devour his cores, then he\'d find himself out and head towards the nearby big city.

He already memorised the map Angelica showed him before. The map wasn\'t that detailed, but he made sure to memorise everything related to the area he was going to travel towards.

"Hmm… The cores didn\'t give me the same spirit points as I imagined…" After a few hours, he devoured the hundreds of cores he got. He expected to gain thousands of points, at least three thousand. But he ended up with only one thousand, a thing that he didn\'t get the reason behind.

He didn\'t know that the cores in this world were like anything else and would lose spirit power the more they got stored away. Even ores would suffer from such fate, and that was why people in this world wouldn\'t just store away materials they didn\'t need for later.

They\'d just start looking for materials they needed the moment they needed them. The cores William collected ended up losing a huge part of spirit power stored within, ending up giving him little spirit power points in the end.

If he used these cores the moment he gained them, then he\'d have gained thousands of points like he expected. But now he ended up having one thousand only.

"Better than nothing," even if he gained less than what he expected, William wasn\'t that dejected. He knew if he had to gain such an amount of spirit power in the tiny world, he\'d have to consume hundreds of dark gold cores, a thing that was literally impossible under normal circumstances.

"Time to go out," William knew Angelica wanted him to meet her father and uncles so they could reward him. In his eyes, no reward could satisfy him, at least what they could offer.

Instead of wasting time here, he went out during the night and started to sneak into the town\'s streets. The town wasn\'t as bustling and lively as when he saw it when he came here. But the streets were still filled with lots of people.

William passed silently between the people, listening to discussion about various topics. Most of the discussions were speaking about the Hunters latest mission, gains, and sacrifices they had to offer to get the meat and materials needed for the town.

William didn\'t care about any of that. He knew from Angelica that Hunters of this world were having lots of difficulties securing tasks issued to them by customers. It was usually Artisans, Alchemists, or even merchants who\'d issue such tasks for them in return for spirit crystals and other products like gears, potions, and arrays.

In William\'s eyes, this was like a mercenary group working to execute tasks in return for rewards.
