Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

[Dude, you can fool anyone, but not me. I already sniffed your scent from tens of kilometres away! You are the all great and legendary nine tailed fox. Eating you is nothing like eating anything else! You are my missing piece to leave this damn trash world and go to the vast world outside]

"..."

William's inward shock was nothing like anything else he experienced before since coming back in time. He always felt there was something quite amiss here. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how fast he ran, the Nightmare monster always kept tracking and trailing him.

At first, he didn't notice this. But eventually he could tell something was wrong! He didn't do anything to that monster to get such an honour. He simply ran off its clutches, and even didn't leave empty handed and delivered a bunch of strong gold grade monsters on this scary beast's dining table.

But this didn't even stop that beast from following him all this time, fighting desperately as if William killed its own parents or stole away its core or something.

And now William realised it all. This monster knew what type of spirit he got, even without the need for William to use it at all.

That monster already sat its gaze upon William. And to the latter, that meant bad news.

[If I knew you are going to be this slippery, hard to catch, then I'd have gone serious from the start. I should have merged all my clones into one, crushing you like an ant! But what can I say, it was my mistake, and I always learn from my mistakes]

"Screw you!" William couldn't help but shout in anger, while a very terrifying roar came at the same time with an explosive laugh that he only heard.

[Don't get this hyped up, pretty little fox! You are entrapped in the body of a useless and powerless human! That means you'll never show up your true might anytime soon. I'm going away for now, going to raise my strength up and reach the next level. I can feel it, that next step is so damn nearby! It seems like you are my good luck charm, pretty little fox. Just don't let anyone else kill you before I do. I want to use your power, add it all to mine, and end up taking that final leap and get out from here]

"F*ck off! Who said you'll get a single bite off me?!" William couldn't take these words from such a monster. Even if the monster was already quite terrifying and going to be much stronger when it'd turn into dark gold grade, William couldn't tolerate such words at all!

In his eyes, that damn beast was all wrong! And that Nightmare monster just mistook everything. It thought the nine tailed fox monster took over William's body, replacing his spirit, and will, inhabited this body as a reservoir or a means of nirvana or something.

​ This was all wrong! This was all bullshit in William's eyes. But right now, that didn't matter. The real intentions of that Nightmare were all that mattered.

[Kakakaka! What a lovely little fox you are! If I met the true body of you, then I should have thought twice about what I just said. But you are a loser, dude! You made such a horrible mistake, taking over a human's body to live like humans. What's great about those damn weak meat bodies? They are just useless! Pretty damn weak! And I'll soon prove this over to you]

"F*ck off! Next time we meet, it'll be me spitting on your dead body!"

[Kakakaka, what a lovely little fox you are! Next time we'll meet, pretty little fox, I won't go easy on you. Make sure to not see my face or cross paths with me, or else… You won't have such time to even chat with me. See you soon, pretty lovely fox]

As that sound suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it also vanished in the same fashion. At the same time, William saw many shadows retreat from the front of the deadly fire.

It looked like this monster was retreating, ending this crazy hunt for now. William didn't feel it until that dude left for a few minutes, but his entire forehead and body got soaked heavily with his cold sweat!

He got scared! And he had all the right to feel so.

"Are you alright?" Everyone around was feeling something was off with William. Yet at the same time, they also felt a suffocating presence that prevented them from saying a single word till now.

That terrifying presence just got lifted off and vanished for a few minutes already, letting everyone heave a deep sigh of relief. Then they started to surround William, checking him up.

"It's nothing," William was looking a bit better than before. He might have gotten taken aback by such a sudden twist in events and unbelievable revelation, but he was also thankful for that little talk.

It was like a cold bucket of water that got thrown at his head when he was in deep sleep. It was a brisk waking up call, one that he definitely needed.

"That damn nine tailed fox… I ended up meeting one of your damn old enemies, bastard!" William said this to himself, while his face got covered in a weird mask of determination.

No matter how he looked at it, he ended up facing something that he shouldn't face at this stage, not in this world at least.

Like spirit masters, high grade monsters had friends and enemies. And from the words of that beast, William knew this Nightmare monster wasn't anyway a friend to that damn fox.

William now could understand everything that he lived through in the past few days. It wasn't a coincidence as he thought. It was all linked to the nine tailed fox spirit he got.

Even if he didn't succeed in using and activating that spirit for the time being, it didn't prevent other formidable monsters from sniffing that scent from him.
