Chapter 1057 I Didn't Do It, That Fox Did!
"You should stop," the Black Phantom spirit slowly said, "You can't handle it anymore, your body can't."
"I won't stop until I'm unable to do it!" William roared while shifting from right to left, jumping high in the air and landing like a rocket.
He tried to take a sword out but failed to even hold it in his hand. This was something that he'd determine, not his body, not the berserk spirit power he was absorbing, not even that Black Phantom!
"Ok, let's see how long further you are going to last…"
The Black Phantom wasn't speaking out of nowhere. As William flashed around, his body was leaving a long trail of blood on the ground, even splashing fresh blood on the air every time he jumped in the air.
Things looked bad, not just to the Black Phantom, but also to Anjie and others. The newly joined guild members were the most shocked ones here.
They heard tons of stories about the glorifying legendary master of the guild and its creator, but this was way beyond their wildest expectations.
Their guild master, the one who wasn't over seventeen years old, was now fighting against powers that even masters at the pinnacle power ladder didn't know anything about!
This was like opening their eyes for the first time and seeing the world. They all stood in their place, watching William clashing against powers that no one else dared to contend against.
If such a master was on top of the chain in their guild, then they now realise the path towards a bright future was secured in their pocket.
They realised now and believed totally that that move was the best thing they ever did in their entire lives so far! And perhaps wouldn't make another move like this ever again!
They felt like winning the lottery! And now, they all prayed for such a legendary master of theirs to come out from this unscathed, without losing his life.
Winning or losing didn't matter, just living was.
"I have a question," at some point, William felt like his body wasn't acting normally anymore and wasn't responding to his orders and wishes. It was a red flag sign that he had to stop, and yet he had to make sure of one last thing before ending this bizarre adventure.
"Ask whatever you want, you literally paid your blood to earn this chance…"
"Why did you invade Panther, affect and manipulate his time ability, and infuse him with fake vision?"
"Did what?!!!" This time the Black Phantom spirit got startled, "Who are you referring to with your words? Are you sure it's me? I never mess with the human world, it's boring, f*cking, and totally boring!"
"Then how come do you think I ran into you in the first place? Huh?" William was feeling more confident in his earlier doubts and claims. But even for the Black Phantom to not realise it, made this all unbelievable.
"Wait a minute, check on something… Is that person here?"
"It's out there, standing with others, but I can't even move a finger or raise an arm to point at him…"
"I'll find him then…" The next moment, the black sphere started to fade away. And all of sudden, a flash of a black ball surrounded Panther for a fraction of a second, before vanishing.
"What just happened?!!!" Panther looked around madly, checked himself, and even closed his eyes and inspected his spirit power. He tried to use his time element and techniques, and all was fine.
"Something seems off here," Sloth noticed this meri flash of black thing around Panther, "You are related to that thing indeed, that's now confirmed."
"As if I know anything about this!" Panther shouted in impatience and frustration. He could tell this was true, but couldn't get a head or tail about it.
"It's true, that human has a print of my power," Back at William's side, the Black dome returned again, before the voice of the Black Phantom paused, "Tell me everything that happened."
"Sure," William knew if there was an answer to all this, then it was in the hands of that spirit. So he told him in detail about what happened, how he went to the fate and destiny world and ended up getting in contact with him.
"Are you telling me you can go there? Like go there and f*ck with that world? That's awesome! Totally brilliant!"
William couldn't believe the only thing this spirit cared about was his ability to go into this world. "It's not like there aren't many doing this, y'know!"
"But no spirit can, no higher being can!" the Black Phantom seemed to be more confident about his earlier offer to William, "Listen, if I didn't do it, then that bastard must have done it! Is it in your world? This is a lower realm, how can he be here?"
"It's not him, it's his clone," William's tone turned icy cold, realising who was the one behind this, "can't you help in discovering what happened?"
"Me? Nah, don't have permission or the ability to do this… Let me offer something different… It tried to trick you into doing something, right? You spoke about vision and that master had the time element, right?"
"It tried to lure us towards a place…"
"Then go there," the Black Phantom said something crazy, "I will leave an imprint of my power on you. Once you are full in that trap, try to see what's all about. I'm sure it's trying to take you down. But with me by your side, leave things over for me to fix and handle."
"Are you sure?" William knew this was crazy. Trying to fall into an obvious trap of the enemy was the dumbest move anyone would make. And yet it was the only way to get that enemy once and for all.
William could sniff the trap laid for him by that Nightmare monster. And yet he also smelled opportunity.
"Let's do it then," he knew he couldn't tolerate anymore.
