What William didn't expect was for these Mutants to act decisively, let ten of their members break free from the grand formation, only using the human spirits to help control the formation.
This indeed placed lots of pressure over everyone but allowed these ten to make clones out of their monstrous spirits. And this time, Zin had to face a great deal of trouble.
These Mutants didn't just release ten out of desperation. They calculated and got how strong Zin was. They estimated that seven would be enough to take him down, and sending three extra was just a form of precaution.
The pressure exerted over them was enough to make them suffer a lot. But they knew once Zin got taken down, then the annoying arrays he spread would be left without any guarding.
William was already fighting against Rick and Richard, away from here. And even if he managed by any means to overcome these two masters, he was weak to even handle the clones made out of their human spirits.
Once these ten appeared, Zin faced immense pressure. He already used part of his formidable strength and abilities to take down the clones before. But that didn't mean this was the full scoop of his strength.
A heaven defying battle erupted between these eleven, one that was enough to crush many mountain peaks, and parts of their great bodies.
As this battle erupted and intensified, William was in his own world right now. Absorbing this wrathful spirit wasn't an easy task, especially when he was running short on time right now.
The spirit was indeed hard to control. William gave it a try to see if he could tame this spirit while absorbing it, as this was considered the weakest moment for any spirit, but he failed.
The Arbatros Snake spirit was indeed quite fierce. If not for William to have a special spirit of his own, he'd have faced great backlash and severe consequences from just this failure.
All he suffered in the end was a total pain in his body, and the decrease of his spirit power by fifty points. He knew after succeeding in taming and merging that spirit with his, he'd be able to regain this little amount of lost spirit power and even many more folds. So, he didn't feel any pain in suffering such a little hiccup.
The absorption process went great when he stopped trying to tame that spirit. The spirit merged with his fox one, but it didn't show any change at all. And that was normal.
"A dormant spirit… What a nuisance!" William knew his fox spirit absorbed the Arbatros Snake spirit but didn't merge with it. And that made that new spirit useless and didn't add anything to him.
But that was just for now. Later on, he'd find a way to handle this spirit. And he just knew when and where he should do that.
Dormant spirits weren't like dormant spirit elements. These dormant spirits were quite a headache. Every once in a while, these spirits would revolt and try to control the host's body and spirit. That was like carrying a bomb with you all the time.
The most common time for these spirits to run rogue was when the spirit master would be in weak or exhausted status.
"What's going on here?!!!" just when he came out from his sleep like status, William got shocked to see Zin at the distance getting his as* kicked.
He wasn't severely wounded, but his body showed lots of places with injuries there. The armour he once wore was now torn apart, and even his wooden stick was crushed in two halves, each held by one hand.
He didn't look fine against ten ferocious enemies. When William saw them, he realised at once what happened.
"So you decided to handle the pressure for now to take down Zin? That's a decisive move I never saw coming…" William's face changed to show his seriousness. He didn't even check his surroundings for now, instead he shouted on the top of his lungs: "Hit the crystals!"
"As if I'm not trying to do that already!" Zin heard William's shout and couldn't help but shout in anger and impatience. He was indeed pressured by these ten enemies, enforcing him to use his full strength for the first time in the last century.
"Don't use techniques or spirit power, just pure physical power will do!" William shouted again, before turning around and hurriedly checking his situation.
He started absorbing the Arbatros Snake spirit and left Charley to handle the dark green toxin. He was alive so far, not feeling any pain anywhere or missing a limb or anything. And that meant Charley was still defending him.
William spotted Charley flashing around, trying his best to stop the dark green fog. This meant less than half an hour passed.
As he already deprived the spear from its main source of energy, this dark green fog was going to lessen with time. But till then, he had to lean on Charley.
William just finished a grand training milestone, and his body and spirit were greatly exhausted. But it wasn't time to rest. "Come here!" he first called for Charley, hurriedly recharged it with elixirs, before setting it loose again.
Then William started taking elixir bottles one after another, emptying them in his body, trying to repair what he could as fast as he could.
"Screw this! I need to train," William found the speed of healing and recuperating his body and spirit was too slow for the impending dangerous battle. And so he stood on the ground cross legged, started to regulate his breathing and train.
He knew he had a short time to train and recover. And so he threw away any worries for now, and focused solely on training.
Zin heard what William shouted, before he saw him take lots of elixirs out. Zin didn't know what William was doing, and he didn't get any mind to think about any of that right now.
