Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Then William checked over the formation of the two teams.

Each leader spread the word, and lots of masters wanted to join the fray. Yet they waited for William to get the last word from him about this.

"Having too many is going to be bad, let's stick with one hundred masters per leader," unlike what they expected, William refused raising such a number.

The latter didn't limit the number thanks to his worry over the masters' rejection or something. William knew how masters were courageous and loved to defy any odds. And that wasn't why he set the number to one hundred per leader.

He did so as there was something that he didn't find a trace of yet, a nasty formation that could divide an army into groups of a hundred or so. If there was a single master in the group who didn't have any loyalty with the group, then things would grow bad for everyone.

So he didn't only stress over limiting the number of each leader group to one hundred, he even stressed that they'd move and work separately, without meddling with other leaders' groups.

Even William didn't bring more than this number from all the guild members he had. He didn't explain this to any of them, as this formation was quite nasty and also quite easy to counter.

If the formation found no outsider in the group, it would pop in thin air, releasing a refreshing breeze that would make anyone feel cool and refreshed.

As the countermeasure for this formation was already set, and there was no real sign of such formation being here, William decided against making things complicated for them.

Yet he couldn't help but sigh when he thought about all these mysterious techniques and formations used in play. He heard many theories about these things. Many suspected they worked on karma level, others thought they worked on a far complicated world force that no one knew yet.

William didn't have an opinion about any of that. He just hated dealing with things that couldn't be understood like these. Luckily for him, and throughout the long course of the spirit masters in the outer world, countermeasures were set against most of these things.

As everything was going as planned, William decided to rest and wait. Time passed fast, and soon enough the world around him got empty the more time passed.

After a day, most of the masters here and on other sides were evacuated. Only fire and wind-based masters were left behind. They were going to leave at the last minute.

The various leaders tried to persuade William to leave these masters behind, yet the latter didn't agree. There was no point in keeping them behind. Not to mention there wasn't enough force to protect their backs against any incoming enemies.

The last argument was on the timing of sending them back. William wanted to send them right now, then move out and everyone would meet according to the movement plan devised by a group of leaders. But most of the leaders didn't like this.

They wanted to leave the fire and wind masters back, advance and meet up first, then head towards the academy while they'd retreat on their own.

William didn't like this for different reasons. First of all, the risk was quite high. The masters had to evacuate at the same time, and that would risk for many Wrathers to come and kill them.

Not to mention the catapults would all be lost. And William didn't like this. Yet after a vote was done, the decision was made. This risky plan got the green light.

But it had a little modification. Half of the entire fire and wind masters were going to evacuate first. Then half of the catapults would be stored. After that the masters would march to meet each other before giving the signal for the remaining fire and wind masters to withdraw.

William also asked that these masters had to volunteer to remain behind. After all, the risk of dying was too high. And he was surprised when he heard that most of the masters wanted to stay behind.

It seemed the last stressful days reignited the deep hatred and rage towards the dark masters. Everyone didn't know that this was the machinations of a single enemy, a monster wearing human skin. So, they all thought about dark masters, and got their hatred reach unprecedented levels.

William got to shake his head. Even if their hatred and anger were directed to the wrong target, it was still quite good as it was against an enemy not a friend.

William was now standing in front of a general map, the one he acquired before. There he marked paths which everyone agreed on to follow until they'd meet together.

He had to get to the formation and revise the paths suggested by dark gold masters to make sure they were safe. Yet even without any sign of danger at all appearing at their long course, he wasn't that sure they were safe.

"Let's do this," as all of the masters got evacuated, and half of the fire and wind-based masters walked away, it was time for them to move out.

William got no one from his side to move out with him. He made sure this would happen as he didn't want a dead weight on his shoulders.

Since the start, he never planned to join his team in the beginning. In fact, he planned to roam the place and try to identify the traps, see what other hidden dangers were there and try to deal with these.

As for the task of destroying the dark academy and killing the dark masters, it was left for the team formed by different leaders. As for his guild team, they'd work as his support team.

There were four leaders in this side, and they already moved to join the side of the leaders. William waited for an hour before he started to walk towards the depths of this region.
