Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"This doesn't bode well," William's spirit sense got cut off when masters made a big array to seal the area Sara's mother selected, "for the monsters here of course, hahaha."

He knew his spirit sense couldn't penetrate through that array, but that didn't mean Sara's mother wasn't able to watch him.

"At least the monsters here would find someone to play with," William knew this place was going to be far more dangerous with the invaders' presence.

Sara's mother was right, he had nothing in his power to stop them if they intended to do anything. He also didn't find it weird for her to stay here and not go back. She once came and lived in this world for years, and she was capable of doing the same.

"One more headache," William looked at the direction where Sara's mother went before going towards the pits and shouted, "come out, everything is safe… For now."

His friends seemed to not be aware of what was happening up there. This was expected as there was some sort of sealing barrier to prevent them from sensing anything the moment William appeared.

But hearing his voice made everyone pumped and excited, also a bit worried.

"It seems I'm a bit late," as William waited for his friends to come out, he spotted Sloth coming from far away. The old master found his way at last when the barriers stopping him vanished.

"You are always late to the party, cough, cough!" and from the direction of the pits, Fang appeared. He was in a very terrible condition, coughing blood and having a gruesome looking wound on his chest.

"Are you ok?" William felt alarmed when he saw Fang's condition. He knew the masters with Sara's mother were tough and strong, but he never imagined they'd harm Fang to this extent.

"I'll survive," Fang coughed again, "where are those mfers? I want to have another round with them!"

"Hahaha, you are indeed funny, hahaha," Sloth didn't drop such a chance and pointed in mockery towards Fang.

"Hey hey, we are still in the middle of danger," William stepped in to stop the old two rivals, "the monsters will come any minute now. And those enemies… They didn't leave."

"Didn't leave?!" This wasn't just the answer coming from Sloth and Fang, but also from many of his friends who just climbed their way up.

"They are going to stay here," William shifted his eyes away, towards the direction of the stairs at the far distance, "from now on, the underground city is going to be a sealed place, forbidden for anyone to step in. Or else we won't be responsible for their fate."

"I'll make sure these orders reach everyone," Lara came out, and like everyone of William's friends, she was excited and yet embarrassed.

This was by far a humiliating defeat, not only for William's guild, but for Lara's city.

"Don't think too much about what happened here," William could read what went through her head, "the enemy this time is someone you can't defeat."

"But…"

"Leave them enjoy their stay here," William turned around, towards the many monsters coming towards them from all directions, "this place isn't friendly to masters anymore."

"I'm glad you are ok," Sloth ignored all this and went to Anjie when she came out. But Anjie ignored him, as her eyes were fixated at the direction where William motioned towards before.

It went without saying this was where the enemies disappeared. "Old Sloth, you need to return as soon as possible to my father and tell him this…" She started to tell the old mentor what she wanted to convey to her father.

"Won't you come?" Sloth was surprised, "you know…"

"Tell father I'll come over in a few months, but first…" Anjie was someone who knew the roof of strength in this world. But meeting the outsider masters made her feel threatened.

She fought against them with everyone else, with Fang. Even William failed to stop them. And Sloth seemed to not even take part in this battle at all. This all was something that drove the sense of danger and urge inside her spirit.

She wanted to get stronger fast, and being here beside William was the best thing to do. Even if her father wanted her for something important, being here was now far more important.

In addition to that, she felt danger coming. As everyone was chatting amidst themselves about what happened and waiting for others to come out, William went and carried the unconscious Sara.

"Let's go," he moved his eyes around his friends, making sure everyone was fine, "it's time to go back. But the monsters will be tough and relentless, don't lower your guards."

"Leave this task to this old man," but before William would continue his words, Sloth stepped up, "I didn't get to do much here anyway. Let me help you move out."

William just nodded, but he also turned his eyes towards his friends and they got what he wanted them to do. He wasn't the type to depend on others, and so was his guild, team, and friends.

Luckily Sara's mother and her masters weren't harsh against most of William's masters. Only few suffered wounds, those who tried harder than the rest, those who were stronger than the rest.

The worst of course was Fang, and that old man refused any offer to help from others. What was weird though was that he used lots of healing potions without any effect on his wounds and injuries.

"Why don't they heal, dammit!" he cursed out loud after emptying the tenth potion bottle in his mouth.

"This is a special type of darkness element, one that can linger in your spirit and flesh, can't get removed easily," William knew such knowledge was impossible to know on his own. After all this was something secretive about the One Desire Palace's unique way of assassination.

They didn't need to kill the target directly, just using their special and evolved element as if they were using poison.
