William explained what happened, starting from the moment he entered here till the end.
"The Black Phantom? The same Black Phantom spirit? Are you sure?!!" The moment William mentioned this scary spirit, the black fox couldn't help but shout in panic, with its body trembling out of fear.
"Don't worry, he is a friend," William evilly grinned, resisting the urge to laugh.
"You are a friend of the boogeyman? No way! That spirit is a solo, never teamed with or befriended anyone in our world! It's impossible for him to be a friend of a human…"
"I'm not lying," William shrugged, "or else how do you expect me to know about his name? Do you want me to draw a sketch of him for you? Besides, that spirit that entrapped you here isn't weak, not something I can contend against. So, how come I drove it away?"
"Good points, but this doesn't make any sense at all," the black fox was still finding it hard to believe what William said, "This is the boogeyman! The BOOGEYMAN! You can't befriend someone who is going to eat you for dinner, or even lunch!"
"Do you want me to summon him again to be sure of that?" William crossed his arms, and gave that fox a mocking gaze, "but you'll need to deal with his wrath! He told me to not summon him until there is something for him to eat, so…"
"No, f*ck no! Stay away from me, go away, go back to your crazy world, and leave me alone…"
"Tsk! And here I thought you were going to reward me for saving your life…"
"I will," the fox took his words as a hidden threatening one, "just stay away, go back, go back right away."
"Do you think if I can, would I stay here?" William rolled his eyes, "Just take a look down there, that spirit messed with your home and spread all these monsters around to kill me. Not to mention there isn't a single way out…"
"Here, just leave and let me alone to heal," the fox just moved on its tail, hardly lifting it for a few metres before falling. William could tell it exhausted much of its power to do so, and yet he didn't feel any guilt at all.
A door appeared, one that was shining brightly with golden light, "This will lead you back…"
"Not before you promised me to meet again," William wasn't in any hurry to leave. He had to set up a meeting with that black fox in the future, to ask him about tons of stuff, and also learn more about the spirit world.
"Fine, once I've healed, I'll call you back here…"
"If not, I'll call the boogeyman and let him eat you for lunch, hahaha!" William left with such threatening words, while his laughs echoed in the place, "see you later, my friend."
William didn't need to open the door. The moment he got near it, his body got sucked through, and passed without any hindrance, while a bright flash of golden light blinded his vision.
In the real world, Anjie was sobbing without shedding any more tears. She buried her head in his embrace, and didn't raise it for hours!
Sloth and Panther were standing here, alongside all the prominent figures in the city. It pained him to see William like that, especially when they learnt about the root cause of all this.
Panther was the one feeling the most terrible out of all. He blamed himself for all this, didn't know how things went south like this.
If he knew, he'd never have told William about anything.
"Cough! Cough!" Just as everyone was feeling dejected and depressed, waiting for the inevitable to happen, a miracle happened instead!
William coughed! And with just coughing twice, everyone jolted awake from their dark thoughts, looking at him in disbelief.
"The blood… The blood… It's receding back…" Just the same as it happened with the fox spirit, William's blood started to move towards him as his body absorbed it slowly. Under all this, Anjie slowly raised her head, and looked at William in disbelief and delight.
"William… You… You are alive…" she muttered these words as if she didn't believe herself at all. She wasn't alone, as everyone watched this miracle unfolding right before their eyes.
William didn't just come back from the lands of the dead, but he also came back in top shape! He took ten minutes before he absorbed all the blood around, then slowly stood up, looking totally fine.
In fact, he was much better than before! He gained lots of spirit power from that Black Phantom, and what he went through helped him to digest all of these.
Not to mention while being at the black fox's place, he ended up absorbing too much spirit power from there, increasing his total toll of spirit power points by ten thousand points directly!
Right now, he wasn't at the mid-stage dark gold grade anymore. Right now, he has formally stepped into the high stage, becoming one of the top elites in this world.
Yet he didn't check on his spirit power for now. He looked around, looked at all the happy faces around, those who had tear marks over there, looked like they stayed there for a long time, stayed by his side, and he realised what they went through.
"I'm fine," he paused when his eyes landed on Panther. Before he could say anything, Anjie threw herself into his embrace, crying like never before, yet this time she was crying out of her happiness.
She didn't say anything, and William could only pat on her head and back, didn't say anything either. At this moment, there was no need for words anymore, as he felt her true feelings for him, her worry and concern, her happiness for his return.
As for others, they were also giving him the same vibes.
"You made us deadly worried over you, what happened?" Sloth cleared up his throat, trying to get to the bottom of all this.
