"My team… Get ready as well, we'll move out!" Sara didn't slack behind. The moment Ibra decided to move out, do the same as what William assigned him and his team to do, Sara also followed.
Then a big and bloody battle erupted in the next ten minutes, one that was very intense from the early moments.
What helped them endure the early waves was that the fastest monsters to arrive there were the closest to them in the first place. And as they cleared lots of monsters during the past hours, there wasn't that much to begin with to threaten them.
But Thomas was the only one seeing further away. Everyone could only see as far as the tree line existed. In Thomas' eyes, everything would change once half an hour would pass. With the distant densely packed monsters arriving here, things would turn ugly. Not to mention the dark spirit masters who tagged along as well.
"Please hurry," he couldn't help but turn towards his master, the one who caused all this in the first place. William was sitting cross legged, closing his eyes, while his body was shining in bright silver light. As for his fox form, it was still there, with the two tails moving like they were prepared to kill at any given second.
William already expected something big to happen, but not close to this. He was now feeling quite surprised by what he was going through.
He managed to climb up the ladder of strength before in his past life, starting out from the low level of being white grade all the way to the top.
But out there, in the outer vast world, power level there didn't take into consideration any of this tiny world's grades. So, he kept raising up his spirit power before without passing through any of the lower tiered ranks.
This time, it felt all different. And that wasn't just thanks to him climbing the ladder of strength step by step, following the tiny world rules. This time, he got a spirit of his own. And for a reason, something seemed to stir up a new change thanks to something that happened to him before, his reincarnation!
He found himself standing on the side of a road, somewhere where all the world around was ushered under darkness.
When he extended his hands around, he found out all this darkness was simply fog. And when he tried to step up, move forward in this path, and take a tour around to check where he was, he was surprised to find out that he couldn't.
He felt like his body was pinned to wherever this place was. "Weird…" just when that happened, he also felt the fog around to swirl, change, like it responded to his earlier moves, "does it want me to stay here forever? Not a chance!"
William didn't know if this was real or dream, but he linked everything to his upgrade process ongoing right now. For some reason, he felt an unexplained urge to hurry and return back to the real world. And so he kept trying, summoning up all his power to move forward.
"Screw this! Come forth! Come out now!" but as he failed to even budge an inch no matter how hard he tried during the past twenty minutes, he decided to use his greatest weapon, his spirit form.
*Roar!*
Just as he did that in such a weird place, his body outside swelled and changed, taking the shape of a real and solid fox monster with two tails. William still closed his eyes, but he wasn't sitting anymore.
The moment his fox form took shape, he stood up, flashed like he was a lightning bolt, passed by his team members who were fighting like crazy, before landing in the middle of the incoming monsters.
He didn't see anything, didn't feel what his body was doing in the outer world. But deep inside that weird world of his, his body also changed to take the form of the fox.
And then things started to change abruptly all around. The fog kept swirling like mad, turning to take different shapes and forms.
"These… Are these monsters?!" William couldn't see the shapes of these weird things clearly. All he could see was the general look of them, as they were all formed of fog.
*Roar!*
And without even giving him a chance to process what the heck was going on here, these newly formed shapes started to roar like any proper monsters before jumping at him.
"Screw off!" William was already feeling more unease about all of this, more worried about what was happening in the real world. And without even understanding what was going on, he took out his sword out of habit, and weirdly enough it appeared, but in a different form.
It was in the form of a fog, like it turned to be made of fog and not ores. The real sword was already appearing in the real world, getting grabbed by one of his tails. William didn't think about why this happened, took out his knives as well, to find out they were turned into such weird status of his sword.
"F*ck it! If you want me to fight my way through this weird path, then I'm up to the task! Die!"
William didn't hesitate anymore. When he tried to inspect his body, check over his spirit power, he got puzzled by his inability to do any of this.
It was like this wasn't his real body. And when he saw how his knives and sword turned into foggy things, a crazy thought flashed up his mind. "Even my body turned into a fog… Weird!" this was the only thing that'd explain all this.
And yet that didn't prevent him from starting out a grand massacre over the growing number of monsters here.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
"I can move!" to his surprise, he finally felt his body moving. He used his technique out of habit, and his body flashed, from one point to another, hitting the different enemies and taking them down.
