Chapter 1079 The Terrifying Ball Of Light!
The first time the Black Phantom left a mark, he did it with a mere speck of his power. So it was expected to be a mere mark. But the second time, he did it with his real body. And that wasn't just a mark.
When the Black Phantom saw the grand prize William prepared for him, just in short time after meeting him for the first time, he decided to grant him a speck of his power.
It wasn't as if William was alien to such power, after all the Devour ability he had originally came from the Black Phantom. So William never noticed the difference, never noticed that something was off in his and his monstrous weapons' techniques.
The techniques all had the vibe of the Black Phantom spirit, the scary spirit that was enough to scare any other spirit or life form by mentioning his name. So such a response from everyone, be it allies or enemies, was quite expected.
He persisted for half an hour, during which the masters pushed the line further. They crossed almost eighty percent of the entire space here, only lacking the last twenty percent and they'd reach the walls.
"Time to put a final showdown on this show," William looked at his exhausted monstrous weapons, and without any hesitation, he called them all back.
Then he turned around, didn't even take a single look behind, and ran like he never did before! He pushed his dashing technique beyond the limits, crossing five kilometres with each jump, getting so fast away from here.
The moment he stopped pouring any more spirit power into the techniques, they started to swell up, and expand, showing signs of getting out of control.
Then a terrifying explosion erupted, one that had never been witnessed before by anyone standing there. They first saw a bright flash of light, then everything turned white in front of them.
They heard a scary rumble, one that made their spirit shake. They felt like they were going to die, everyone was going to die, literally everyone and everything.
The explosion was quite overbearing, but the part that affected everyone's spirit was related to the Black Phantom's seed. William kept moving as far away as possible, yet the explosion still caught up to him.
"Don't tell me I'll fall to my own technique…" he muttered to himself while watching that scary and rapidly growing outward ball of light that chased after him.
In mere seconds, he was engulfed inside. But weirdly, he felt nothing at all! Instead, he felt something amazing!
"This… Why do I feel like I can suck dry everything in that explosion and add it to my spirit power?!!!" This was something that stemmed from his spirit, like a hunger or thirst. He didn't know why, but the moment he ended up inside that ball of light, he instantly sat down cross-legged, and started training!
The training was the fastest way to absorb spirit power, yet he didn't realise he never needed that. Such a feeling came from the bottom of his spirit, from that seed left by the Black Phantom.
As he sat there, something unbelievable happened. Everyone was watching such a scary ball of light expanding and getting close to them pretty damn fast.
"We need to run!"
"Run where?"
"There is no place to run to!"
Everyone knew it'd be over the moment they'd get into this. Yet when they expected the worst, a miracle happened.
The ball of light suddenly decreased its expansion speed, ending up stopping, and began even to retract on its own!
"Something is calling it back…" This was apparent to all, but none could see through this ball of light. Everyone stood in their place, prepared for anything bad that might happen.
After all, before any deadly explosion, such a move would happen. The retraction of that ball of light didn't mean good in most scenarios, yet that was only known to the experienced masters.
The normal ones felt like they were saved! Seeing the cheerful faces around, those formidable masters felt terrible, but decided to not ruin this moment and tell them the bitter truth.
Yet the truth they expected never showed up! The ball of light kept retracting without a single moment of pause, without showing a single sign of going berserk. The moment that happened, they noticed something else.
"It's not getting back to the same spot it started off from!!!" They could see that after a few minutes passed. The ball of light seemed to retract to another core point, somewhere tens of kilometres away from the place it started from.
It was crazy, but the moment the ball of light retracted from the mountainous wall, showing the scary devastation left over by it, they all knew this was true.
"Don't tell me… It's him!" Sloth and Panther were the first two to jump to such a crazy conclusion. Sloth already placed William in the spot of those miracle doers, the ones who wouldn't get evaluated under normal standards or known logic. As for Panther, he simply used his time foresight ability, seeing William emerging out from the middle of the ball of light, unharmed, unscathed, with even the aura of a fierce predator.
This vision truly happened in the next hour. During this, the masters stood watching for a few minutes, before their leaders spread out the word: Keep fighting!
They felt like the ball of light would take more than a few minutes to fully recede and vanish. The moment it passed the mountainous wall, they knew it wasn't going to detonate or something.
So they guided their masters, aimed their techniques and weapons towards monsters, and started a killing spree.
Monsters weren't feeling any better than humans did, but they lacked enough intelligence or spirit sense to detect things like humans did. They stood in their place, not moving a muscle, fearing with trepidation hearts, fearing that intangible sense of death that overwhelmed them.
It was expected how smooth killing the remaining monsters was.
