Many died, and much more landed with severe and heavy wounds. The attack that William unleashed was lethal to any gold grade spirit master, even when he didn't aim this attack primarily against them.
"Another!" William wanted nothing more than to stick around and see what happened to the dude he hit. But he didn't plan his attack in such a way from the start.
The moment his sword released all the stored lightning attacks in it, releasing a lightning element at this dude's body, he instantly flashed and dashed to another direction, targeting another dude.
And he made sure to follow the same pattern, stacking seven attacks first, before ending them up with a devastating full powered attack of his technique.
"Watch out! The fox is after all of us!" It was clear what William wanted to do. And so, one of these dark gold dudes shouted in fear, warning everyone else about William's intentions.
William knew before starting his attack that the first target had the highest chances of being hit without knowing what was coming at him. But starting from there onwards, it'd be a direct and brutal clash, his sword and technique against their weapons and techniques.
But that didn't stop him from dashing forward towards the next target. He flashed for seven times, stacking seven attacks together, before finally appearing in front of that dude's face after crossing hundreds of metres, activating the last lethal attack of his.
"F*ck off! Find another one to aim at, goddammit!"
That dude held a giant greatsword, one that had to be held by both arms. That dude already was prepared for William, raising that dangerous looking sword high in the air, waiting for William to draw closer before landing it at his face.
William didn't even flinch. And just as that dude's sword landed, he shouted fiercely as if he scored something big. But unlike what he expected, a grand shadow appeared next to him, just a few metres away, and then a rumbling attack fell.
William already used such a tricky move before, and it proved its worth. William wasn't just like any normal spirit master here, not limited by his technique.
In fact, his strongest point wasn't in the brutality and explosive nature of his technique, but his agility. He got three variations of his technique, ones that would turn him into a nimble bird.
And just like that, the true nightmare of the dark gold dark spirit masters here began.
William kept jumping from one foe to another, not limited by any distance or any technique. Even when many gold dark spirit masters gathered up, trying to cut his path forward, they ended up getting blown to pieces without succeeding at all in stopping him.
The best they did was to force him to waste his stacked attacks over them. And whenever that happened, William would simply change targets, selecting someone far away from him.
Before starting any of that, he used one elixir. A single one was supposed to suffice four of his brutal attacks. However, as he kept pushing himself beyond the limit, stacking ten and even fifteen attacks at some point, he found out that one elixir was enough to power up three attacks only.
And so he kept consuming one elixir bottle after another, feeling like he was using them as running water.
"It worked!" but against all this crazy consumption of his spirit power and expensive elixirs, he finally shouted the moment he saw the effect of his attack on the first foe he hit.
That dude was still engulfed in the deadly explosion of William's attack for a few minutes. When the dust settled, that dude stood there, with a severed arm, an ugly deep wound on his chest, and bleeding from all over his body.
The arm that got severed was the one who held that hammer before, the one who welcomed the scary attack of William. As for the initial target of head, that dude managed to shift William's sword at the last second, letting it hit his chest instead.
William knew this was an amazing result, but he also knew this dude wasn't a strong dark gold spirit master. So, he didn't let such a result get into his head. And soon enough he saw different results over the dudes around.
The wounds he left over their bodies varied from being superficial to severe. And that told William how big the difference was between these folks in the same grade.
However, that also meant William wasn't without an option against dark gold spirit masters anymore. When he'd buy that necklace from the Refos group, he'd end up having a shield and a weapon against such scary folks.
He wouldn't dream about killing any of them for now. But at least he was sure he'd be able to escape with his life intact if he ever got ambushed by such scary dudes.
"I have to rush things up, I have to reach silver grade as soon as possible," William knew that most of the power shown here was simply limited by his low-grade spirit power.
Even if he used an elixir to supplement the waste, it was still limited by the grade of his spirit power. At silver grade, attacking weak dark gold grade spirit masters would leave behind deadly wounds for sure.
And if he managed to reach the pinnacle of the silver grade, then he might be able to kill these folks! Not to mention if he upgraded his weapon, brought a dark gold grade weapon like his promised glaive, then no one would ever stand against him.
William used six elixirs from those he bought before. And that meant he attacked eighteen different targets here.
"It's enough," he didn't aim to keep attacking the rest of the dark gold dark spirit masters here. Wounding them was more than enough for him and others. As he got done with his little experiment here, he shifted his focus towards something totally different, collecting rings.
