Chapter 49 This Matter Is Over!
The fog had a strong arsenic smell, making William want to vomit what was inside his stomach. But it wasn't time to relax. Once he released all the toxin fog, he started to take out many of his arrows, ores, and light candles, doing the same as what he did a short while ago.
The only way to deal with this toxin was to circulate it through a medium that could contain it. Using the brutal scarlet vibrant ore to detoxify it was the ideal method he currently had.
He used his spirit power through his blood drop earlier to just confirm his guess. He never imagined the amount of such toxin to be this severe, fiercely reacting to his method in such a way.
But right now, he didn't need to risk anything by the use of his spirit power. He could simply use something brutal, with fiery and explosive nature to detoxify this poison without any risks.
As for the green material of the light candles, they acted just as a way to channel the toxin into the arrowheads.
He lit up the candles, used their drops to cover the arrowheads. He placed these arrowheads on the ground, with their tips touching the scarlet ores.
Like these the light candles' green material would permit for the toxin to pass through the arrowheads, ending up at the vibrant scarlet ores. And the berserk nature of the energy inside these ores would do the rest.
What William feared the most was for these ores to explode. To his luck, nothing of that happened. The toxin didn't stir anything inside the ores and ended up getting burnt and consumed by these ores.
William kept himself inside the black fog for a long half an hour. This toxin might be a weakening toxin to any spirit master, but for Lina and Tina it was quite deadly.
The two girls were Selvators, with their spirits being held in their physical bodies. If their bodies got eroded, then their souls would be damaged and even die on the spot.
To normal spirit masters, their bodies would be eroded, and many places would become like rotten meat. It wasn't that deadly, but it'd take a long time to get rid of such effects. And that would hinder the progress of many spirit masters for long years.
As for the two girls, if they got lucky, they'd have ended up getting crippled. "Damn! I was careless again!" as he worked to detoxify the toxin, he started to lament himself.
He thought he read through all the dark intentions of the dark elders here. But he overlooked the presence of the two girls.
They must have known or heard vital information regarding the dark spirit masters or their plans. Or else why would such a toxin that wasn't from this world be used here, a toxin that was the nemesis of their race?
This attack was directed at the two girls. William recalled the words and actions of Guanin's relative when he entered the academy; he wanted to kill the two girls in such rashness, even if he was going to break the academy rules.
Facts proved he underestimated his enemies. For a moment there, William regretted not having the strength to go all out right now and kill all those traitors himself.
He was a protective kind of person, one who held those close to him in his heart. Targeting his girls meant targeting him, meaning this old feud just got another reason to target those traitors.
During this time, no matter how the headmaster or other elders around tried, no one was able to get a single peek through that black fog.
To them, no matter what they did, their spirit power got eroded and was eaten away the moment it touched this fog.
And so, everything William was doing inside went without getting noticed by any from the outside.
After working for half an hour, the entire fog cleared all of sudden, revealing William. At this moment, he was exhausted from the stress and not the effort. After all he simply used his spirit power to just ignite the candles, nothing more.
"Young master!"
"Thank god you are safe!"
The two girls directly jumped into his embrace while Tina kept weeping. She felt that she lost the kind master of hers for a second there. As a kid, she had such a fragile mind and pure heart.
"Don't worry, I'm fine," William said these words in a loud tone, with the intention to deliver a message to those who were behind this. He also didn't forget to issue daggering and threatening gazes to Guo and his gang, promising them in silence that their generosity would be rewarded in the same way one day.
"The decision is final," all of sudden the headmaster said in a strong tone, "this kid is free of any charge."
"Headmaster…" Guo was shocked to hear these words. The round of discussion was interrupted by what happened here, and they didn't yet reach a decision.
For the headmaster to take such a decision solo wasn't a simple matter at all. But the cold gaze from the headmaster made him swallow what he wanted to say.
"From this moment onward, William is a formal disciple of the academy," the headmaster continued as if he didn't hear what Guo just said, "he is going to be a bronze spirit master, attending classes in the second year."
"Thanks for the headmaster's kindness," William cupped his hands and bowed to the headmaster. He knew the latter just issued such a decision in such a way to protect him.
