Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master



William didn't look like he lost it, and that made him think more about the presence of someone or something he couldn't see or detect, something that was connected only and solely to William.

He was right indeed, but he didn't feel any rage to look for who it was or find a way to see it as well. He already thought about something, and when William took that weird cube away, he got the chance to speak about it with him.

"I believe we are somewhere unknown," Sloth said, "I tried to scan the area, and none of this rang bells in my head at all."

"We may be somewhere else rather than the kingdom," William suggested, but Sloth shook his head.

"I lived long enough to go around the entire continent, visited all the kingdoms and tons of their places there. I'm sure we aren't on that continent anymore."

"Then… Are we on the second continent?" William knew this crystal was special, but didn't guess it could take them all the way through continents. If so, then it must have been a high-grade portal.

And that also meant they were lost!

"We need to get out of here first," William agreed with what Sloth said, "I'm sure once we find a place with people, we can get home fast."

"I'm not in a hurry right now," William knew Sloth wanted to go back and join the battle. But as they were on the second continent, doing so was now impossible. Unless they were fortunate enough to find a place with portals linked to their continent, then going back would take forever!

William never left his continent before, and this was the first time to gone to this second continent. He learnt little information about it, as it was the continent that had two huge empires within.

In terms of land size, this continent was at least four times theirs. And despite that, it got fewer kingdoms than theirs thanks to the presence of these two empires.

Sloth started to lead the way, using his wider spirit sense coverage, leading William towards the great plains, a place where he planned to start from and head towards the nearest town or a city.

As the two marched, Sloth asked William about what happened, the being he was speaking with. William didn't satisfy his curiosity, as he knew it was very hard to explain many concepts related to that spirit.

Making everyone forget about its presence actually came as a favour to William. Trying to give answers to everyone and explaining lots of stuff about the spirit world was a headache he didn't want to suffer from.

He didn't get everything about the spirit world, and all he knew were just bits and pieces, not that useful actually, and didn't explain everything about them.

Not to mention letting masters know about them wasn't going to help anyone in the end. Masters weren't able to meet spirits face to face, and William had to learn more about the active spirits in this world, in the outer world, and in other worlds, including that middle world he previously visited.

As Sloth led the way, William didn't need to do anything but think about what he just went through. Learning about the presence of spirits here, interfering with the world of masters was new to him, something that he never learnt about before.

"First there were the Mystic Art masters, and now there are these spirits… What else is hidden from me, from everyone else, about this and other worlds?" He felt like a frog at the bottom of the well, and that was something he truly didn't like.

Yet he was powerless here. Aside from the scrolls he obtained by accident, and the noisy spirit that was delusional enough to consider himself a god, there was nothing else he could do about it.

As for that spirit, it never stopped speaking all the way until they arrived at the first town. Sloth's wide range of spirit sense was indeed quite helpful here, and they arrived there in just five hours.

"Let me do the talk," Sloth went to the town, leaving William behind. The latter just spread his spirit sense and examined the town. It was a simple, small one, with around a few thousand humans there. It was obvious at first glance that they weren't spirit masters, and if there were any, they must be at the weakest scale of power.

As he expected, Sloth didn't find any spirit master there, but he found great people who were welcoming to help. They told him about many things, and William heard everything using his spirit sense.

What he learnt was that they weren't in any area that was under the control of any empire or kingdom. They were indeed on the second continent, but they were inside a huge island that was one of many that were in the middle between the two continents.

That meant they weren't that far from their continent, and yet they weren't close to any city with portals leading to their continent.

"You heard everything, right?" Sloth returned, before adding, "According to them, we can head towards there and we'll end up at the next trait connecting this island to the next one. Going this way will make us reach the continent in the end… but…"

"We'll take forever to do it," William expected from the news he just heard, "we have almost twenty islands like this one, all are self-controlled, without any big city except one at each island, and there isn't a single portal in any city of them…"

"Our other choice is to go towards the opposite side and cross twelve islands. But we'll end up on a new continent, one that we know nothing about…"

"Let's go home," William wasn't that bitter about this journey. In fact, he trusted everyone back in Lara's city to do what was needed to save the day.

But Sloth Was feeling different!
