    William knew these masters got high hopes about what Stark said. As they got to know more of the awaiting deadly traps for them, and as they got ways to counter these, then it was just right to wish these were part of the hellyer.


    [Life is full of surprises as well!] a leader said, [Why can''t we consider them part of the hellyer?]


    "Because they areying here without any trigger or for us to do something for them to appear," William got tired of exining tons of stuff for them, "but be certain that with each trap of them getting dealt with, another one from the hellyer will appear. And we need now to tear these traps one by one and discover what we didn''t know yet."


    As he crushed any hope they got, William added, "let''s start acting then. Keep me posted."


    [What are you going to do then?] Lara suddenly asked. The leaders team got to move and work to scan the entire ce of any traps and tell him about them. And the guild team was following Thomas around, as William kept them doing their task with little modifications.


    "Me? I''m going to scan the area around you of course," Lara already joined his guild team with her one hundred elite guards, "just keep doing the same task you are doing."


    [I know I should scan the rest of the world, but looking for what exactly?] Thomas paused, [I already scanned other ces while we were talking, there is nothing new out there]


    "Just keep looking for anything abnormal," William paused, looking at the ck clouds before adding, "try to find out any clue about these clouds. And we need a few high-end masters to know how these clouds are formed."


    Even after all this time, no one managed to get to know how these clouds got formed in the first ce. The leaders team tried everything, but failed to find out what caused these ck clouds to appear.


    When William spoke about his theory of the role of the grey fog to form these ck clouds, they didn''t agree with him. The ones who managed to get to see everything said that the grey tongues of smoke only had a role to y in making the Wrathers appear, nothing else.


    This made William more vignt towards these ck clouds. If they got low grade masters, they''d have sent someone from their side to test these ck clouds over as the various leaders said.


    But they had no way to do that. They had to remain away from these ck clouds, and hopefully they might find something useful about themter on.


    Once William ended this meeting, he shifted his full attention around. "So far, I only managed to trigger Wrathers. I didn''t tell them about that vapour, and I hope it won''t get released anytime soon…"


    William was feeling more pressure about all of this. But he continued to do his tasks diligently, while thinking back about what other traps he might find here.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The hellyer gained such a cursed title thanks to the lots of traps scattered across it. Thomas already saw five different patterns there, but he couldn''t tell exactly what these traps looked like. And William wouldn''t be able to tell just from the shape of the silveryout there.


    But there was a single valuable intel that Thomas could provide him with, a thing that made William keep him doing this task even if he wouldn''t be able to add much.


    Thomas noticed that these silver designs got some sort of a repetition pattern. And William wanted to know this pattern. He already could tell that the mostmon trap here was the Wrathers. And by that he could start deciphering the entireyout of the hellyer.


    Once done, he could start drawing a detailed map of this ce, one that would specify where each trap was, what its nature was, and how to counter them.


    William then kept attacking the spiral shapes around. After a few hours, he had to feel puzzled.


    All the traps released only Wrathers, as if there were only these cursed creatures out there. If not for Thomas to keep sending updates about theyout pattern of these traps, William would have doubted there was only Wrathers out there.


    "Something seems off here… I''m missing something…" William stopped what he was doing after getting rid of thest batch of Wrathers. He stood in his ce and started thinking again about everything.


    "If these traps need to be triggered, then it''s possible that the bastardid such traps with different triggers…" William paused and started to think about what these triggers could be…


    "The hallucination trap got triggered when we removed all the hills. The Wrathers appeared when we messed with the formations in the realityyer or tried to get close to the border of this ce. That toxin trap appeared when we tried to get out… Then what about other traps? How can they get activated?"


    William''s thoughts kept drifting right and left, thinking about tons of things at the same time. He always put the detailed map of this region in his mind, trying to see what he could link with the other hidden traps.


    "There are those dark masters… And so far, we haven''t fought them inside this ce yet. They can be a candidate for another trap… And then there is that thing roaming around… Did that fox bring this bear here for such a thing or what?"


    William didn''t think the two were rted. After all, there was the same kind of hostility between high grade monsters as there was one between high grade masters. And it was even worse in the case of monsters.


    William had the impression that this bear came here out of this fox''s ns. And that meant there were other things to get the traps triggered. William could tell the academy at the middle had the way to activate the other hidden traps. But that would be suicidal like he told others.
