Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"So, it came here at last!" William narrowed his eyes, realising that he wasn't just fighting an army of clones, but one which got led by the real dude.

It was a big deal, the real deal this time!

And that was enough to flip this entire situation upside down entirely, endangering their close by safe escape and even threatening his life.

"Damn it! Do you think you can do whatever the hell you want because you got many dumb clones on your side? Come on! Bring it on! I'll play with your clones to my heart's content!"

William got really enraged by the actions of this monster, shouted in defiance before all of sudden made a crazy move of his.

It seemed like this monster was over fixating on him for reasons he never knew. He kept running away, travelled through lots of places in the forest, even brought up lots of strong monsters for this dude to shift its gaze away from him.

And yet he failed! And that made him quite crazy at this moment.

If the monster wanted to get the large number of monsters blocking its path killed, taking such an insane move that defied logic, then William was going to do another move that defied logic as well, one that wasn't any less crazy than what that obsessed monster did…

He was going to help the monsters!

It might seem reckless and insane, but as the monster lost it and started killing monsters while ignoring the humans, then William was going to do totally the opposite.

In William's eyes, this entire battle at the last stretch of this chase was hanging on a thin thread; the monsters blocking and shielding William and Sith's team from the incoming Nightmare monster.

If the monster managed to kill its path through the monsters faster, reached them before they arrived at the safe path, then it was a game over for all of them.

But if William managed to stall for time, saving many monsters from the clutches of this Nightmare monster, then it'd be his win.

William never tried to do such a thing before. In his eyes, monsters were there for him to kill or run away from. But this time, he had to step in and save them!

"Guys, keep pushing forward and find that damn safe path fast!" when he made up his mind, he shouted back at Sith's team. And then he retracted his knives, to only circulate the area only one metre around, with him being in the centre of all this.

This made the knives look as if they merged together and became a whole circular wheel that kept spinning around him.

William did that to minimise the losses of monsters in front of him. Then he started to scan the entire battlefield, looking for ways to help monsters.

"Dudes, I know we started the night on the wrong foot, but let me make this clear… I'm going to help and save many of you. So… Don't stab me in the back!"

William didn't know if his words could be heard or understood by these monsters or not. But he hoped they wouldn't attack him like they used to.

The sudden appearance of all these clones of the Nightmare monster and what they did at the back of the small monster army here seemed to startle all the monsters in the region. And when William moved, they all felt like this was over for all of them.

But when William moved for a few jumps and stopped, releasing half of his knives out like sent arrows, things started to take a weird turn and twist for these monsters.

The distance between William and the closest clones of that monster was a few hundred metres away. William knew if he jumped all the distance between him and these incoming clones, then he would end up getting isolated from Sith and his team, getting separated from the safe path he wanted to reach.

He wanted to help, but not to sacrifice himself in the end. Besides, he had to safeguard against monsters, not risking anything happening from their side.

He still didn't know how the monsters here would react to such wild twist in events. And that was why he didn't send all of his knives, and just used half of them.

As the distance was already too far, William had to jump a few times, accumulating momentum for his knives before releasing them all out.

Each knife headed towards a certain clone. This wasn't an attack to kill, but to test things out.

He never tried to throw his knives over such a distance. And he needed to see how much increase in his spirit power consumption was going to be when he'd do this.

"Damn! They took ten percent right away! What a son of b*tch this monster is!" William saw his knives reach their targets, hack through their bodies as he controlled them to devastate everything.

But he didn't feel a speck of happiness because of this. Feeling the crazily increase in his spirit power consumption made him want to beat down that monster using his bare fists!

It wasn't like William had no way to solve this problem. He could easily use his silver and bronze cores that he gathered before.

But he treasures these cores. Every and each single one of these took him quite the trouble to claim. And just throwing them away like this was something he didn't like to see.

The path through the landmine might be considered a safe path out from this dilemma right now, but it wasn't going to lead them away from the forest or the endless dangers lurking inside it.

William was quite sure that once they passed that region, more battles would come their way. And he was just thinking and preparing for this.

"Screw it! Let's live tonight and worry about tomorrow when the sun rises," William decided, "and there is no need for me to spend more spirit power for more knives. These will do for now."
