Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master



"No genius, make it weaker! You don't want to ruin what lies down there, right?" William rolled his eyes, and Ibra showed an amusing smile on his face as if he was just teasing William.

The next two hits were enough to show up the space down below. It was just as Thomas described, a tiny space that looked more like a coffin than a hidden room.

"Stay here," William climbed down towards that hidden room. The first thing he thought about was how weird it was for Richard to have such a hidden place without any entry or exit.

As he arrived down below, he found that hidden place much smaller than he initially thought. Aside from black metallic box, there was nothing there at all.

"This…" William was shocked when he touched this black box, "It's… No way! It's a Legacy!!!"

William couldn't believe his eyes and senses. The moment he touched that black box, he felt like his hand touched a black hole or something.

His spirit power gushed in torrents towards that black box. If he didn't act fast, stored it inside his ring, then he'd get depleted of his spirit power in mere ten seconds!

"Did you find anything?" Ibra's shout from above jolted William awake. He turned towards his anticipated team, and couldn't help but smile.

"Let's go," he climbed his way up, looked at his team with his big smile before adding, "we already got what we came for."

"Which is?" Sara felt like William wasn't going to tell them anything. Yet unlike what she and others expected, William laughed before adding:

"We'll talk when we go to our guild branch."

"It's safe, right?" Thomas suddenly asked, making William pause in his tracks.

All this time, he was busy dealing with what was going on around to forget about checking on his guild branch.

"Let's go and check it then," William didn't say anything more than that. And Thomas' words silenced everyone, crushed the good vibes William got from this box.

William led everyone out of this mansion. He might have not found a clue about any dark forces connected to Richard, but he found something else far interesting.

If not for being too dangerous, he'd take that box out and caress it.

"Phew! You do know you scared me for a second there," when they arrived at the guild branch, they found it quite normal and intact.

They walked through dense places filled with ruins. Almost half of the city was raised to the ground. But luckily no one placed the Fox guild branch in their eyes as a target.

Thomas looked at Sara and couldn't help but sigh. He just casually asked, didn't realise he hit a sour spot by what he said.

"Don't say any random stuff like this again," William also felt panicked when Thomas asked that question. So he turned to the Trouble Lord and asked him to stop jinxing them like this.

"Now…" Ibra rubbed his hands, feeling like they found a treasure out there in that deep hole or something, "what did you find there? I saw black box that shone for a brief moment before vanishing. What was that?"

"Yes boss, what was that?" Thomas asked, trying to make them forget about what he accidentally caused them.

"It's something… Great!" William just said this, turned around and added, "gather everyone of our close circle. I'll explain everything in the central building. Also bring everyone on our side here…"

Just before he'd continue his words, his smile suddenly froze. He wasn't the only one having such a change, all of them also had the same thing.

"Thomas…" William turned to Thomas, and without the need to say anything, the latter started activating his technique.

The look over their faces showed how serious they felt right now. Just when William was speaking, they all felt a weird tremble of the ground.

If it wasn't like an explosion or an earthquake, it was like the effect monsters would cause when running.

They didn't hear anything, couldn't feel the aura of any monster. And as they were in a city, they all jumped towards the same conclusion at the same time; a monster tide!

"What the hell… Is that?!!!" Thomas' body trembled faintly, and everyone knew he was about to bring very bad news this time.

"What do you see?" William didn't jump to conclusions like others. He knew Thomas for years now. And this was the second time he saw him act like this.

The first time happened when they were at the Fox Lair, clearing the traps. Thomas acted like this when he couldn't get what he saw meant. And that look on his face was just identical to the one from back then.

"Well…" and as he expected, Thomas seemed to struggle to explain what he was seeing, "the entire world… It's like it's filled with lights…"

As William nodded to him, Thomas started to speak. But William knew he didn't just see that. "What else?" he demanded, and Thomas organised his thoughts before explaining what he couldn't get:

"There is some sort of a circle in the sky… Or is it an eye? I can't tell… It's shining the brightest, and it has a thick pillar coming down from it, with endless threads branching out…"

Thomas tried to explain to the best of his abilities, and yet he felt like he didn't explain that much. Unlike what he expected, William nodded as he got what he meant.

"Is it like this?" William even leant to the ground, and started drawing something over there. William drew a full rounded eye, with something like a rod coming out from it. Then he branched lots of lines, like it was sun rays or something.

"Yes, yes, it's like this indeed… How did you…" Thomas turned to William, asked in doubt and shock. He struggled to even comprehend what was going on, and felt like he failed to describe everything right.
