Reincarnation of The Strongest Spirit Master - Chapter 1161: Mr. Human!

“Hmm… Interesting take…” William couldn’t tell if this monster was trying to pull around the bush or was speaking its heart. Yet he knew in the end, it was either two fates in front of this monster, either fell to serve him or fell on his hands.

“Let me tell you the fate you are going to face in that monster’s hands…” William decided to play along and see what will be the end result of this weird meeting.

He had to admit to himself, that his main hatred and enmity wasn’t towards this monster, but towards the parent one. In addition to that, he wanted to get this monster on his side. So he started explaining what he knew about the nine-tailed fox’s weird ability to divide its spirit into seeds, and from one of them, that monster was born. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤ℴ𝑚

The more he spoke, the gloomier that monster looked. It had a feeling about that fate, but it was just a vague feeling. And now, it got the chance to obtain concrete and solid data about what was going to happen to it.

The more it listened, the more it became surer it was right to think that way, it had to kill that monster at any cost.

“So, make up your mind, I’m going to use the art now,” William didn’t give that monster much time to think about what he said. He already gave this monster enough time to reconsider, and it was now the time to make the final decision about this issue.

“I’ve already made up my mind,” the monster slowly said, yet it didn’t add any more. William didn’t even ask, as in a few minutes, he’d learn the right answer and see it with his own eyes.

William muttered the incantations of the art before a rope appeared and then it got linked with that monster’s building. Like before, the rope took its time to strengthen and broaden the connection, building up a bridge in the end.

“You made the right choice here,” William didn’t know if this was true or not. This monster kept causing him headaches one after another and was considered the top enemy he had in this tiny world.

But this enemy was now nullified, at least there wasn’t a single threat coming from it now. This was a big achievement in William’s eyes, despite him preferring to kill the enemies, not keeping them around like this.

“I hope I’ll get to know why you are useful to me,” he muttered to himself while the monster didn’t say anything. After the connection finished, the two of them got ejected from that world, returning back to the real one.

“They are doing great…” William checked the situation around. The masters already uncovered more than one-fourth of the entire portal up at the ceiling. They might need almost one day to reveal everything, and that meant the time for their departure and return was around the corner.

But it seemed like fate didn’t want to let them go away easily like this!

“Mr. Human, there is something about to happen,” just as everyone was doing their tasks, with the king and other high-end masters focusing on arranging their forces, preparing them to move away from here, while the earth-based masters were revealing more of the portal up there, one of the statues suddenly said.

“Are you speaking to me?” William found it weird, to be called Mr. Human. So he pointed to himself after checking around, while expressing his doubts.

“Yes, you are Mr. Human, right?” the statue looked either dumb or this was the right way to address masters to these statues perhaps.

“Sure, what do you want to tell me about?” William jumped over this weird nickname and was curious to hear what this statue wanted to tell.

“It seems the reinforcements we called upon before are almost upon us,” the statue delivered such grave news, making everyone around look towards it in a weird way.

They got almost half of that portal uncovered so far. And all they needed was just half a day. It was this close to leaving this place, and yet the enemies came at the most terrible moment.

“Where are they going to appear? Tell me everything you know…” William didn’t stop at such bad timing and went straight for the valuable news.

The statue told him everything it knew about the incoming enemies. They were from another pocket world, and they had to pass through a complicated set of portals to arrive here. As they were moving from one pocket world to another, without passing through any real world in the middle, they had to take much time to come here. According to that statue, they were going to appear at the upper surface, not here. That meant they had to pass through the holes and paths the masters took to arrive at such an underground base. And that was great news for everyone.

“Leave this to us, we’ll delay them as long as we can,” the king said, and William simply nodded. He left the pros to do their part, while he kept watching earth-based masters unearthing more of the portal.

“Go, help them,” he didn’t stand idle, and took out four of his monstrous weapons. They got earth elements and could help.

Anjie stood by his side, alongside everyone remaining from the masters who joined his guild. They wanted to go out and help, but he stopped them. “You did enough,” he said, “just rest and let everyone else do this last task before we go home.”

William knew his newly joined masters did marvellous in this adventure. They didn’t get any training from him, and didn’t learn anything at all. They just joined the guild and didn’t even get the chance to get any gear or supplies from the guild.

On top of that, they were few to begin with. And now they lost close to half of their original number. William felt he was a little indebted to them, and yet he knew he wasn’t to be blamed here. They made up their minds and chose to come and join this expedition.
