Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

William knew that if they sought help from the elders and patriarchs, they would ultimately fail.

Even if he tried to tell them what he knew, no one would believe him! They wouldn't help him; they might even imprison them in a place they couldn't escape from until it was too late.

“I…I have to go ask my older brothers and sisters for help.” Berry looked around again, and this time William didn’t stop her. “Let me go find them…don’t leave here, okay?”

“We’ll wait for you.” William didn’t mind the worry and fear on her face as he watched Berry walk briskly in one direction and then disappear.

Watching her departing figure, he fell into deep thought.

'This monster eruption... Impossible! Don't tell me it's happening!'

'Absolutely not!' Later, after some research, I realized they needed a lot of time to prepare for such a large-scale invasion. It's far too early to use such a deadly tactic to destroy us.

But... this is a level 3 monster outbreak, and it's entirely composed of crimson-colored monsters! It can't possibly be like that damned outbreak back then... is it even possible?

As he squeezed his brain, his thoughts battled with his own, trying to remember anything he had missed.

But no!

The truth is this... when that deadly apocalypse occurred, the monster outbreaks around the world were all at level three.

According to this world's understanding, monster outbreaks are divided into five known levels. Level five is the weakest and smallest, while level one is the most deadly and terrifying.

Of course, he had to shout out what had happened and end the world with a level zero monster outbreak.

Its scale was unprecedented and unimaginable to anyone. And so it began with a Level 3 warning.

The monsters that have broken out all over the world are all made up of scarlet monsters, just like what is happening now.

The monsters' trick was to prevent any human from entering the depths of the forests scattered around the world.

And there, they gave birth to the most terrifying monster—the red bear.

The red bear and the red monkey he killed earlier share the same origin. They follow the same patterns and attitudes, are extremely bloody and brutal, and always operate in large numbers.

However, there is a problem: they need a lot of time to grow, and they need an area free from any danger. Otherwise, their numbers will remain forever small and stagnant.

Facing hundreds of red bears is no problem for any Gold-level Soul Master. To a low-level Soul Master like William, they are like scarlet monkeys.

But if there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of bears, the situation becomes extremely dangerous.

Even the elite Dark Gold Legion couldn't escape alive from them. In such a life-or-death battle, dealing with them required killing these monsters, not just running away.

William still remembered the scene vividly. The sheer number of red bears, leading a massive army of leopards, lions, tigers, elephants, and even monkeys and other scarlet monsters, was truly unforgettable.

Even though he encountered many terrible situations afterward, including the battle with that damned fox, William still considers this incident to be the deadliest and most terrifying moment of his life.

At least he was the one who searched for that fox and prepared for a long time to fight him.

Now he has a premonition that this tragedy is about to repeat itself, and this time it will be directed at him alone.

Without needing to think too much, he had already guessed the reason.

“That bastard who stole Berry’s files must have handed them over to the monster leader…” This was the only reason William had to explain all this.

Monsters are different from humans; they have close ties with the outside world. Seeing these methods indicates that those who do these things are people who have connections with the outside world.

This is what the monster leader truly fears most.

They would absolutely not allow such a person to exist.

“No… I was wrong…” William thought about all the facts he knew and they all told him that his guess was wrong.

Whoever learned these techniques from Berry wouldn't associate them with him, but with her. "Am I just unlucky to be here..." He paused, looking around, "or am I lucky?"

This family... was alright in his eyes. They adhered to the rule of supporting humanity and fighting monsters, and showed no signs of betrayal.

They are one of the academy's strong backbone forces, and they are powerful soul masters who should not be allowed to fall.

He knew what was going to happen next, how this catastrophic battle would unfold. And regardless, a race like this was utterly vulnerable to the onslaught of any level three monster, let alone such a deadly creature.

Even if things weren't that bad, the enemy couldn't muster such a terrifying number of red bears as they had in the previous life, but this is a family, not an academy or a kingdom.

The clan chief here holds a certain prestige and respect, but that doesn't mean that all the powerful clans around will respond to their cries for help.

For various reasons, many would back down and watch such a powerful opponent fall. Whether it's out of a deep sense of competition or confrontation, or a direct order from the monster leader or dark soul master to a traitor not to intervene; it doesn't matter.
