Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master



"Things didn't look quite right… It can't have done all this without getting immense help from something, or someone…" William muttered to himself, while knowing that such a grand project couldn't have been done by that monster alone.

When he thought about the dark forces' community, it would have made quite sense before the brutal blow these masters suffered five years ago. So, it made more sense to think about another power in play, one that was hiding behind the shadows, one that got full interest in supporting such evil deeds of that monster.

Such a force must have immense power and resources, different supply routes to get what they desired of materials and such. William thought about the city and its forces, yet he declined such an idea almost instantly.

If something like this happened, then it'd be impossible to hide the tracks of it from the Vancouf family, from everyone.

[What do you mean by that?] Ibra scoffed, [Can't you say anything we can understand? We want to know what all this means, and what to do about it! Tsk! Why is it you always know about everything and not someone else?]

"Someone like you? Hahahaha! Ok, let me tell you this… This place got demolished, deep down to the core of the world, and then it got rebuilt."

[Stop saying something crazy like this, ok?] one of the leaders got startled when he heard William's words. After all, William took out the other Bullets of the second team leaders and started relaying things over to everyone.

"This is what we are having here, and please don't say it's impossible. This monster did it. How it did it, or how it managed to do it without anyone noticing isn't important now. But what this grand thing means and how it impacts us is…"

William didn't just say these words to them, but also to himself. It didn't matter how this monster did it, or how it went away with it without getting detected. What it mattered now was how to deal with such a situation, and frankly speaking their situation didn't look that good anymore.

"This formation works by rebuilding the entire region into three layers, reality, hell, and heaven layers. I don't know many specifics about this, but right now we are walking inside the reality layer. And it's not filled with many traps. But when the hell layer merges with reality, we end up facing deadly dangers. Take Wrathers for example, they are part of the hell layer. And their sudden appearance here wasn't out of the blue…"

William kept talking about a few examples he heard legends about in his past life. For example, he mentioned the tornadoes of screams, one that would attack them using sound waves. They had already been hit by something like that, and that attack could range from being slightly harmful, into being quite deadly, covering up traumas hitting spirit, body, and one's mind.

The more he talked, the gloomier everyone became. No one said anything or tried to interrupt him. In fact, they were quite depressed to even say a single word.

[You mentioned three layers, how about the heaven layer then?] One of the leaders suddenly said, trying to find a glimpse of hope in the middle of all this darkness.

"That's the way out from here, the only way out," right now William started to believe he truly underestimated the black fox's previous words. That fox didn't just warn him about the toxin trap, but also tried to warn him about such a deadly thing.

[I never heard of any formation like this…] another leader said, expressing what everyone thought about.

"Well, to be honest this can't be described as a formation anymore. A formation works by using materials set on certain designs over a big stretch of land, using many arrays to do it. But this one… It uses the entire place starting from the lava layers deep down towards the surface, which will make it more like a world class Framework."

[What does… World class Framework even means?!!!] William's words didn't help in making the people hearing him understand but threw them in deeper puzzlement and confusion.

"Let's… Not speak about this for now," William knew trying to explain such complicated terms would make them more puzzled instead of understanding things over.

[Ok, but how can we reach that heaven layer? How to get the hell out of here after destroying that dark academy?] Stark asked the most important question right now.

"You just said it yourself," William paused, "we have to destroy the core of this grand formation. And in the entire place, only this academy stands out the most."

William's words were true, and he really guessed it right.

[Then what are we waiting for? Let's head directly there…]

"No, that will be directly asking for our death," William interrupted the words of that leader, "to reach heaven, we must march over hell first."

[What does that even mean?] Lara who kept her silence all this time finally spoke up.

"We need to pass all the test and trials waiting for us at the hell layer, then we could get to heaven after crushing that core of this wretched place," William sighed before adding, "if we went directly towards that academy, then we'll trigger all the stored-up traps and won't get any chance at surviving this."

[Does that mean we have a chance if we do it like what you say?] another leader asked, and everyone waited for William's answer.

"We have a certain chance if we did it right," William paused, "so we are going to do a reconnaissance mission first. We already triggered the hallucination trap, the Wrather trap, and those weird black cloud things. We need to know what lies other than these."

[And those weird shapes? The ones you told us how to counter them, won't they count as well?!] Stark asked, and William could only sigh.

"Life is full of hardships, right?"
