Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

It was a grand and spacious cave, one that was empty except from giant statues. It was the same place William visited before, the same place he kept desperately looking for during the past five years.

"Show yourself! Such cheap tricks won't work on us!" a deep voice suddenly erupted, with torches flickering and lightening up a face of a statue. The next moment a figure appeared in the middle of this place.

He seemed to be here for quite some time, and just exposed himself when he got spotted.

"Sorry but it's quite rare to meet legendary people like you in this world…" the man who appeared was cloaked in black clothes. And his voice came to be more human than monstrous.

"You aren't a human… State your business then and leave," another deep voice came, instantly recognising the true origin of the man standing in front of him.

"What exposed me? If you may let me ask."

"Acting in such way won't fool us," a third deep voice came from the statues. And with it, torches flickered and lit its face, "we know who exactly you are. So, stop this bullshit, and just state your business. our kins aren't friends to begin with."

"I'm here to speak about a common enemy," that cloaked person paused. His features weren't apparent from beneath his cloak, but he knew they recognised him thanks to his aura, "one that kept pressuring you for long time."

"That bastard you mean?"

"I want to see him dead! Is he also an enemy of yours? Fantastic!"

"What do you want us to do then? We can't go out and crush him as you can tell."

Many voiced erupted, and the entire cave was slightly lit up from many statues speaking at the same time.

"I also suffered on his hands; despite I was this close from taking that damn fox's life. If not for him and what he did, I wouldn't have turned to this. But now it's time for revenge."

That person spoke in a tone filled with tons of hatred. And he really wasn't exaggerating anything. He held deep enmity with William, and he came here today to settle the score with him.

"Something tells me you have some sort of a plan in mind," the one who spoke this time was the wolf statue, the leader of all these Transformers here.

"I know that you suffered a lot," that cloaked person didn't hurry to say anything about his plan, instead he kept speaking, "I gathered intel by my own means. I know how you were forced to hide and cut all the ties with the outside world for five years. I also know that you moved your breeding lair towards a place far from here."

"We all know that, why are you mentioning this?"

"Because I don't buy any of that," that person laughed, "I'm sure you still have connections with people up there, right?"

"..." the statues never responded, and the cloaked person wasn't waiting for their response to begin with.

"I have a plan, but to do it, you have to rope in more of the strong ones up there. You have to gather as many as you can to your side and be ready for my signal."

"Hmm… How can we do it while that damn fox is up there?" the wolf statue hated William and the old fox deep down his bones.

"I have a way, one that will keep him away from here for a very long time," that man paused, before taking something out.

"That…"

"No way! How come you have it?!!!"

"Only few dark masters are allowed to have these!!!"

The moment he took that thing out, everyone here exclaimed in surprise and doubt.

"This is just a proof that I'm not fooling around," the cloaked person stored that thing away, "now you can tell I have the means to do it, to bring that damn fox down. And when that bastard will fall in my trap, you'll have around a year to finish your business here."

"Well… Speaking about this is great but…" One statue said, paused as if he hesitated about something.

"We want to see him dead," the wolf statue said what the other one hesitated to say, "we don't tolerate how he and that damn ancestor of his dealt with us. So, if not his head is offered on the table, this deal won't do."

"Hmm… How about this then…" that person started to speak about much crazier plan. And as he finished, the statues agreed on joining his side.

William didn't know that schemes were planned for him and his team right now. He was inside one of the biggest hotels in this city, a hotel that wasn't much different than the one he stayed at before.

That made him feel quite tense for some reason. "I feel like something bad is going to happen, or is it just me overreacting for being here?"

He was in his room, where a pocket world ball was there. He reserved the best suits for him and his team, letting the managers of this hotel book all the rooms in his section.

This hotel didn't have a master who could change its layout like the lost one in the fort. And yet there was someone who could shrink things into secluded space. William made sure his section entirely got isolated and booked by him, not allowing a single person to come here. He even stressed that not a single room service workers would trespass this place, or else he'd deal with anyone as an enemy and kill him.

William grew more ruthless not thanks to growing old, but thanks to growing in power. He had to accept many unfavourable situations before as he was overall weak and didn't get lots of options before him.

However right now he didn't lack any technique, weapon, even war supplies on his side. Spirit crystals were like useless numbers for him, and he had tons of these to do such extravagant move.

As he settled there, he tried to rest. But that annoying feeling of danger kept assaulting him. "I better go in there and train… Wow! This place is filled with monsters! Gold grade even! What a great place it is!"
