William laughed the moment he received the news about the new changes in the leaders' minds. And he didn't care about what they wanted to do.
All he cared about was securing the underground city, protecting the city on the surface, and making sure things wouldn't end badly for his interests here.
Just when he returned to read through the scrolls, he met something that made his body freeze right on the spot.
"That's it… Damn! I never thought the answer lies in the Mystic Arts!!!"
The scroll he was holding was part of those speaking about the mysterious Mystic Arts and the Fate and Destiny world. He read through everything about these before, yet he never linked this with the problem he was facing.
The scroll spoke about the use of a special Mystic Art, one that could be used inside the Fate and Destiny world. This art would do something to the wheels of someone or something out there, adding or removing little things from it, and end up building a bridge between the wheel of the user and the wheel of the target.
This art might seem useless right now to deal with such a problem, and yet there was a phrase that caught his eye, the key to solve all this.
"... This art is rumoured to be the best against any spirit power-focused entities. It has its cons and pros, but it's one of the most effective ways to handle such troublesome foes…"
This phrase was mentioned at the end of the scroll, followed by a talk about the cons and pros of using it. William read it before and never got the hint behind it.
Yet when he read the part about spirit power-focused entities, his mind froze. These were the same unique words mentioned before in a few of the spirit world scrolls.
"These spirits… They have considered spirit power-focused beings… I don't mean what such words mean… Does that mean their entire bodies are formed of spirit power or what?"
There wasn't any further explanation about this matter. And he didn't care about that for now. He finally found something he could work on, and started to read this scroll like he was reading a treasure map or something.
The Mystic Art mentioned here aimed to link his wheel with anyone else. The great news was that even against targets with insane amounts of protection from the Fate and Destiny world, this art still worked fine. He'd not suffer any backlash from using it over anyone.
The bad news was that by using this method, he'd not be able to harm the target at all. In return for this, he also wouldn't get harmed by the target! It was like a ceasefire agreement, one that would get effective on a higher level than anyone's power and control.
The art would build a bridge, one that would channel spirit power in both ways. If William tried to damage that spirit, he'd end up doing no harm as the spirit power used would be channelled to heal and support the target. In return, if that spirit tried to hit him, the same thing would happen as well.
"Wait… It's not just about protecting myself from him… I can absorb spirit power every time he hits me!!!" The moment he realised this point, he couldn't help but feel a shudder all over his body.
The spirit power used to launch any attack would be transformed into the target by the power of this art. The art would break down any attack, and turn it into pure spirit power that the target could absorb.
"Does this mean… I can sit down, let that bastard attack me as long as he wants, and evolve? Can I get stronger like this? Is there really such a way in this world?!!"
William was totally shaken by such a realisation. To him, this art was enough to be considered one of the most omnipotent arts and techniques in the entire world! Even his Devour ability paled in comparison!
Yet there was a catch!
"The bridge, once done, can't be revoked or removed by any means possible… This is perhaps why this art isn't considered a top-tiered one…"
It was indeed a very great disadvantage for him and for anyone. If he considered using it against that nine-tailed fox, then he'd be safe against it. He'd not get harmed by this fox, and the fox wouldn't be killed by him as he wished.
This was unacceptable! Turning an enemy into a lifelong neutral entity might seem the best solution in various cases, but not this one.
"At least I'm going to survive that dude…" William then started to see how to execute that Mystic Art in the middle of the Fate and Destiny world.
Many arts would be done in the real world, while others would be done in the Fate and Destiny world. To do that, one had to exhaust a ton of spirit power to do so. And that was why formations were done, and grouping masters with Mystic Art affinity started to be a trend.
William decided to do it himself if he asked anyone else to help, he'd be forced to bring this person over. He didn't want to do that, especially when he felt like he'd learn tons of stuff about the spirit world and its current events out there.
And he got the feeling that he'd learn more about what happened with his fox spirit, or even get a chance to meet and speak with it.
As he decided, he started to finalise the last touches. He spread the organs over, before taking an elixir out and gulped its content.
In that world, he couldn't bring anything from the real world with him. "I hope everything will go as that scroll said," he muttered to himself while activating a random Mystic Art, and entered the special world.
The moment he arrived there, he acted at once.
