Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master
Chapter 978 It's Hiding There!
Sloth was about to say something when the entire ground shook, and out there the shield seemed to bulge upward.
"It's breaking the shield!" William's eyes shone brightly, ready to move out when the monster would appear from that hole. Almost forty minutes passed, and that meant the technique was on its last dying breaths.
Yet when the shield got broken, everything changed!
"This…" Everyone who spread their spirit sense outside got instantly shocked, before they all suffered from the crush of their spirit sense, "what happened?!! Why does that technique seem much fiercer?!!!"
Everyone in the cave who observed the surface looked at William's direction. He was the one who unleashed the attack, and the one who always provided them with answers.
"That's…" Even William found it hard to believe. The moment the shield broke, a surge of spirit power flushed out in torrents, with the deadly technique of his.
Yet everything looked much more exaggerated than usual as if this technique was the merge of ten of his grand techniques or something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe got no explanation for this and didn't realise that the hole that this bear monster took as a place for an upgrade wasn't normal. The stone and rocks forming it were blessed with the ability to absorb and conserve spirit power.
That was why this monster selected this place to level up, endured the lava and hid deep within. It'd release tons of spirit power out, and all of this would get stored within these rocks, allowing the monster to reabsorb it again at the later and most dangerous moments of the process.
When William released his attack, and the shield acted as a bottle lid, sealing everything inside, the rocks forming the hole couldn't endure it anymore and released their stored spirit power out.
The spirit power came out like a flood, and as the monster was jolted awake and got interrupted, the only thing that absorbed and made use of this spirit power was the technique William released.
And that made that technique look as if it grew in intensity and ferocity.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the technique is still on, that monster will get attacked and wounded," William knew better than anyone else here about the true might and terror of his newly developed grand technique. The Decay effect wasn't just simple, and no one could stand a chance against it.
Ageing and spending one's lifeline wasn't something that any technique or element could stop. William didn't say anything and kept trying to spread his spirit sense, ending up for it to get crushed.
The technique up there was violent and it continued to rage for four hours straight. During this, the tunnels collapsed, and for the first time ever many of the pillars shouldering the caves also fell.
Sloth asked other masters in this cave and others to start digging new tunnels. As they did it in the middle of the technique raging wildly up there, most of the tunnels ended up getting blocked by falling dirt and rocks.
"Keep digging," William heard Sloth shouting while holding many Bullets in both hands, "we have to be ready the moment that technique up there is over."
Sloth realised what William grasped, like many other old masters here. They all waited for the moment that technique would end, before heading up there and finishing that monster off.
When the technique started to fade away, they managed to dig lots of tunnels. By the time the technique vanished, many masters gushed out of these tunnels, ending up at the surface, to be met with a very terrifying scene.
The ground was deepened by almost one hundred metres! It felt like a nuke just exploded there, and that wasn't all.
When William went out with the early batch of masters, he noticed the lingering multi-coloured flames all over the place. He knew this meant the technique grew stronger again, to affect such a grand scale and leave a trace of its power behind.
That also told him about how terrible the bear was. Yet unlike what he and others expected, the bear was nowhere to be found!
"Can you find it?!" William turned to Sloth and other strong masters. His spirit sense was limited, not like theirs.
"No trace, nothing at all," Sloth shook his head while the other masters kept their silence. Before anyone would say anything to explain this, William turned briskly towards one direction, where that hole was.
He didn't need to spread his spirit sense to see that the shield was intact and got reformed again. When he spotted that dome, looking perfectly fine, he realised what happened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithout saying anything, he dashed forward, heading towards the dome. When others noticed that, they tried to inspect the dome, but their spirit sense couldn't penetrate through the shield.
So they all moved like William, heading towards the dome.
"Is that a monster?!!"
"It's not a Scarlet Bear… This…"
"Are you sure this is one of the Scarlet Bears we know?!!!"
The masters who arrived and stood by William's side on top of that shield couldn't help but be shocked by the sight appearing deep down the shield.
William could understand why they felt this way, and yet he didn't say anything or explained what was going on.
The monster that appeared down below was indeed massive! It wasn't just ten metres in height or even twenty like the biggest bears recorded in history… This monster spanned for a few kilometres in breadth! This was something unbelievable!
Its shape wasn't uniform, just a massive body with scarlet red fur and short scales all over its body. Yet it was filled with numerous and deep wounds from the last attack.
William knew this wasn't the real body of that monster, but a cocoon that got formed for it to evolve and take that last step. It was very famous how strong and hard to crack shells these cocoons were, and yet his technique managed to hurt them and create such gaps inside.
