The two took the same stance, holding the hilt with both hands while a mocking smile appeared over their faces.
They took him lightly enough that none ever considered the need to use their spirits while fighting him.
William heard about the spirit type of this clan; it was all related to fiery salamanders. He also recognised the fighting technique the two were using just from that sword stance.
It was the red salamander descending from the sky technique.
"Don't slow it down! Just kill him fast!" before they'd get closer to him, the leader shouted in impatience.
It seemed he didn't like how lightly and casually they were dealing with William. After the angry words of their leader landed, the two kids didn't hold back anymore and summoned their spirits. freewe(b)novel
Their bodies emitted faint red colour before getting a bit swollen. Only the upper half of their bodies got such changes, while both arms swelled up the most.
"Watch out! One is releasing a fire slash and the other is releasing a wind slash!" Just before the attack started, the masked girl seemed to take pity on William and shouted in warning.
"A wind salamander? That's a good variant spirit," William snorted before he unsheathed his gold grade sword from its scabbard. "Let's see how you'll deal with me."
"Even at the face of death you are still an ignorant porter, humph," one of the two harrumphed but he never expected what William did next.
Just as the masked girl said, one of the two landed his sword first before the other followed. The spirit power gathered up in the upper body was released through the sword and formed two identical curved slashes, one of fire and the other of wind.
Since the two merged with their spirits, they gained the boost of the elements their spirits supported. One kid had the typical fire spirit of that clan, and the other had a variation of wind element instead of fire.
The wind slash moved faster and merged with the fire attack before the two travelled faster as the fire got fiercer. The wind didn't only boost the speed of fire, but also helped in increasing its intensity.
However just when the two imagined William getting engulfed with their strong combined attack, William vanished from his place.
"Good," William simply jumped to the side, with an evil smile on his face, "you two are out of the game... You are next!"
Without pausing, William started running towards the closest member of the group surrounding the two girls. William just stirred his spirit power inside his body, adding a tinge of white layer over his skin.
"Damn! He isn't a porter, he is a spirit master," the leader instantly shouted in surprise, "be careful John, he is coming for you."
"Got it!"
The one name John wasn't any bit slow and instantly raised his sword high and held it with both hands. His body showed the same changed that appeared over the other two.
The next instant another fire slash appeared and travelled fast towards William.
"Going to help you, bud," another kid joined in and released another fire slash towards William.
But like before, William simply jumped in succession and avoided the two attacks without any trouble. "Four are out," his evil smile didn't escape his face for even a second before turning around and started to run into another direction.
"Kill him!" At this point the leader of this team realised that William wasn't simply jumping around like a monkey, evading the attacks coming at him as it might seem from the outside.
Unknown sense of danger overwhelmed that leader at this moment and drove him to shout in distress, "cover up any place he can jump at, don't let him escape this one."
"Humph," William didn't feel any pressure at all. Just this shout made him want to loudly laugh. The leader in the middle of his panic seemed to miss William's real goal here.
The other four launched their attacks towards William in unison. One hit the place William was at, two came on both sides, and one aimed for the rear.
"Let's dance," but instead of retreating, William did an unexpected move by stepping forward and welcomed the incoming attacks. This looked insane, as he was now facing all the incoming curved sword slashes head on.
Yet just like he said, he danced. His legs started to alternate right and left while jumping one time to the right and another to the left. With such bizarre moves, William evaded all the incoming attacks with shocking ease.
Even the last one, which aimed at the rear with a brilliant curve, William evaded it with a simple move. He ducked on the ground by bending his legs. And with it he let his body lean to the ground, letting that sword slash move above his head, without touching a single hair of his. freewebnovel.c om
This might seem to take a long time, but it all happened in a span of seconds. In less than ten seconds, William forced this group to launch their strongest attacks, activate their spirits, and evaded them all.
"Eight are worthless now," William stood up with his irritating smile, "you shouldn't have used your strongest attack from the start. Idiots! That's why the combat experience matters more than anything else!"
At this point, William was already envisioning the death of all of them. In fact, when he faced the first two, he was doing this to probe them.
It was obvious, this group of traitors were hunting down the two girls for a week. From the look of things, the two sides clashed together frequently during such a fervent chase.
William suspected they weren't in their top form, but he never expected them to have such little spirit power left. Just by using a single technique, their spirit power was exhausted.
The sign of depleting the spirit power appeared in the fast withdrawal of the spirit power from all around the body. When the first two kids activated their spirits and used their attacks, the spirit started to fade away even before the sword slashes merged together and combined.
It was a sign that the experienced William's eyes wouldn't miss.
"Go and kill them and have your revenge," as he pushed these traitors over the edge of the cliff, William said to the shocked masked girl. "They are all without enough spirit power to even defend themselves," and he let the honour of pushing them over that cliff to that girl.
