A gold spirit master wasn't a weakling in reality. It was that William grew much stronger than any of them that made them look this weak.
So when the attack landed, leaving behind a scary rumbling noise, William could only see that ball moving like a lightning bolt, heading fast, away from him.
"Come here!" William didn't know what this ball could do, but he was sure it was able to bring a dark gold spirit master here. So even before his sword would release all the stacked power stored inside it, he activated his lightning technique, chasing after this ball.
"I won't let you get it!"
"I'm closer! I'm getting it first!"
"It's mine!"
"I'm going to stop him!"
And just as William dashed after this ball, all the remaining four moved at the same time. The ball was moving like a rocket, and the distance between it and William kept increasing fast.
As if that wasn't enough, one of those four moved and used a grand darkness shield, one that exploded and released a terrifying force towards William.
"F*ck off!" William was already on the edge here. As he didn't release all the stacked attacks before, he waved his tail and released the remaining stacked attacks there, aided with another technique he just activated.
He dashed directly towards the exploding mighty wall coming at him and penetrated through it from the centre like an arrow.
Another huge and scary explosion landed, taking away the life of that gold grade foe. However, and even with all that, that wall managed to delay him for a few seconds, and all the enemies needed were just these.
The ball already reached a far distance from William, not enough for him to reach it first. At the same time, one of those dark spirit masters was already this close from getting it. He jumped, reached out with his hand to grab it.
"It's mine, hahaha!"
"You heard my master, f*ck off!"
Just before the ball would fall in the hands of one of the enemies, a flash appeared. A shadow showed up at this crucial moment, one that extended his hand, grabbed the ball, and landed just tens of metres away.
"Master, catch!"
It was Thomas. And William swore he never felt such happiness to see someone after coming back to this life before like he felt right now. Thomas came out of the blue, appeared out of nowhere, caught the ball, and threw it like a pro rugby player towards William while being midair.
"Who the f*ck are you?!!!" The one who was just centimetres away from this ball couldn't help but shout in distress and panic, turned around to see Thomas standing up from his fall, not far from him. And at this moment, everything in that dude's mind vanished, turned into an unstoppable tsunami of rage.
"Die!" he shouted, used his deadliest techniques, and came like a viper towards Thomas.
"Sorry master… I wanted to serve you longer…"
"Shut the hell up! You won't die as long as I don't give you permission!"
Just when Thomas felt like death doors weren't this close to him, the icy cold voice of William rang in his ears.
It wasn't just him who heard what William said, but that dude who wasn't a few metres away from his target, also heard William perfectly well.
"F*ck! What are you? A monkey or what?!!!" Just when that dude heard that voice, he couldn't believe his ears and turned to make sure of what he just heard.
William was already hundreds of metres away when he moved and was in the middle of catching that ball. William never showed any signs or ability to travel such distance before in a fraction of a second just like he did this time. And that explained why this dude felt such shock.
"Sorry, but you picked the wrong fox to play with this time," William was indeed next to that dude, waving his one tail, and landing his sword over that dude's head.
A mighty rumble occurred, sending Thomas flying backwards for hundreds of metres. William didn't feel anything at all, stood in his place motionless, holding that ball in one claw, while looking at Thomas.
"You did prove your worth to me," William said in an honest way towards Thomas, "from now on, you are one of my closest people. And you won't regret it."
If such words were said by another bronze spirit master, anyone but William, then Thomas, who was flying in the air, wouldn't have even taken any of them seriously.
But after such an insane battle, after what Thomas experienced with his master for all this long, ending up watching such a mind-blowing battle happening in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but feel like he won the lottery.
Thomas was dead busy dealing with the task of drawing the last building when he heard the first explosive noises coming from the direction of the gate. Without any hesitation, and without even thinking about any reason or scenarios about what was going on, he ran fast, ran towards the gate direction.
He already was feeling uneasy after that weird knocking on the gate from before. And so, when he heard such explosions, one thought popped in his mind: intruders!
And when he arrived there, the second violent attack erupted. He saw his master standing alone, tall and mighty like a mountain, while gold grade spirit masters were standing around him, feeling deep fear and immense shock.
They looked like the ones at bronze grade, and his master looked as if he was the one at the gold grade. Thomas released his spirit sense a long time before arriving here, and he absorbed all what his master did.
The brilliant second devastational attack, with the attack that happened before it, opened Thomas' eyes over his master's real abilities and strength.
He kept wondering about how strong such a mysterious and resourceful master was. And right now, he got the answer crystal clear in front of his eyes.
