Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master
Chapter 278 A Real Gentleman!William ignored the voices that echoed in his mind while running as fast as possible towards Sara's position.
He knew he'd take around two to three minutes to arrive there. And yet he made sure to pressure the five scout members, giving them less time available before activating the array.
The moment William drew closer, he could see how dangerous the situation up there was. He left Sara all alone, and she was trying to fight against one hundred monsters or even more at this moment.
Luckily, most of them were weaker than silver grade, with few at silver grade. And that gave Sara a bit of a headache.
She was experienced enough to keep her life intact, but her body still suffered lots of wounds.
"Activate the array!" even before arriving there, he shouted, "come inside, and don't bother with any monster getting in the range of the array."
"What took you so long, dammit!" she was already on her wits end here. And the moment she heard his voice, she instantly retreated, took out a few Message Papers, and relayed the order over others.

It seemed like someone drew a line out there, extending from east to west, marking out an entire area of a few kilometres radius in bright orange and cyan lights.
Then in the next few seconds, as that light intensified, something sprung up from the ground. It looked like a thin film layer or coat that started to spread out to form a dome all over the entire region at a slow pace.
It was formed out of semi-transparent orange, red, blue, and cyan colours. The monsters which got hit by this thin looking layer got their bodies chopped into two halves without any struggle or resistance, without affecting the spreading speed of this array.
"It's done!" William arrived next by Sara's side, said in relief while moving his eyes around the group of dozens of monsters which managed to get inside, "give me a minute, I'll get rid of all of them."
"Save a few for me," Sara's fighting intent didn't get shaken by all the wounds she suffered. William didn't object, despite knowing that letting her fight would worsen these wounds at least.
Yet they were the only ones standing here. And they had the responsibility to deal with these monsters.
In the next ten minutes, William and Sara killed all these monsters without any surprises happening. William made sure to dissect all the monsters he killed, took their cores and stored them in the ring with gears.
"Let's go," he threw a healing potion over to her, "we need to circle this entire thing, make sure not a single monster escapes with its life."
"Ok," Sara simply grabbed the bottle in midair, opened its lid and drank its content. The wounds that covered the exposed parts of her body got healed at a visible rate, and then she kept running by William's side.
"There are more and more of these useless monsters... What a nuisance!"
Every few hundred metres they got to stop, fight and kill dozens of weak monsters, mostly at bronze and white ranks, with few only at silver grade.
Sara struggled before against such monsters. But with William and his godsent flashing ability, sharp knives, and deadly sword, she found it easier to kill all of them.
She noticed that William focused first to take out the silver grade monsters before anything else. She mistook this as his desire to neutralise the threat of those dudes, leaving the much weaker monsters for later to clean up.
So she started to do the same, making William frown.
"Keep dealing with the weak monsters for now," William said, "leave the strong ones to me."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"A real gentleman you are," she mistook his intentions again. He didn't do this out of his good heart or just because he was a gentleman. He simply wanted to gather up silver cores more than bronze and white cores.
To him, white cores were trash and useless. Bronze cores might give him little boost, but they'd not come close to the silver cores.
He estimated that each single silver core would bring up his spirit power by ten or fifteen points at least. And that made him count these cores, counting down the time he'd arrive at the silver rank if he collected enough.
Since warning her, she kept her actions limited to the bronze and white grade monsters, leaving the silver monsters to William. And that made the latter heave an inward sigh of relief.
William didn't use much of his lightning technique, kept using just his sword and knives. He already consumed more than seventy percent of his spirit power just to deal with that LadyBug. And so, he refrained from using his lightning technique, giving his spirit power enough time to replenish itself.
William could use any silver grade gear he got in his rings, but he didn't want to. In his eyes, his body was still weak to not sustain the weight of these gears. And if he depended on his spirit power to wield them, he'd risk losing bits of his power on a regular basis.
He wasn't like other members here, especially those bronze and white grade ones. He already used much more formidable gears and weapons than these in his past life. And he didn't feel the itch to obtain and use any gear without a good reason.
Besides, he didn't see any of these gears, even the silver ones, to be this great like others saw. He wanted to forge his own gears, forging at least gold grade or better dark gold grade gears. But he had to wait for the moment he'd get his hands over precious ores to use them in forging his desired gears.
"There they are!" and just after five minutes of fighting, the two finally approached a group of the team members.
They were in the middle of a hectic battle, fighting at least a couple hundred monsters. They were mostly bronze grade, with few silver ones who proved to be quite annoying.
This group was led by one of the silver members in the team, the one brought over by Peter. He led the group he had, tried his best to evade the silver monsters and aimed specifically for the bronze ones.
He and others adapted a different approach, trying to stall out for time, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
