Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

This time, the fierce gale of wind didn\'t come. William\'s fox spirit body fell down like a dead rock in the middle of this hole. William could only see pitch black darkness around, with wind clashing fast against his face.

He didn\'t know for how long he kept falling, but after some time he became sure that this wind howling at his face wasn\'t just for show.

"So, this wind is decreasing my falling speed and controlling it… Interesting!" he just said it before he finally did notice something new. A small dot of bright light appeared deep down below, announcing the approach of the bottom at last.

William readied himself for a harsh landing. But against what he expected, and as the light dot grew fast into a big hole, he landed slowly and with smoothness like he never expected.

It felt like he jumped just ten metres or so, not falling down from such height.

"Interesting," William landed and found himself standing in the middle of a huge cave or something. The opening he came from was high up there, while he landed over a place that was shining in bright silver and red lights.

They were writings from this world, and it seemed to harness the air from around and gush them out there like he experienced. Around him, he found nothing much, just a few tables, lots of closed chests, and a statue.

"Found you at last!" William\'s eyes shone brightly before moving towards that statue. It was located just at the outer area of this cave. But when he took a single step out from the place he landed at, getting out from the reign of writings on the ground, he felt a change in the air.

"What\'s going on?!" William was vigilant, and even took out his flying knives and sword. He clenched the elixir bottle in his hand, waiting for what was coming.

Yet against what he expected, what happened wasn\'t just for the air around to change, even the ground as well.

More writings appeared, shone in bright red and orange lights, before they started to reflect over the air, showing lots of words there.

"This is…" just as he stood in his place motionless, lots of words started to appear, flash for a few minutes, before new words replaced them.

He looked like he was standing inside a dome shaped place, where words flashed all over him, taking the shape of a half bubble with him being in the centre.

"This is… It\'s the message Thomas noticed before," William slowly muttered, while his eyes were tracking the floating words, reading them fast and understanding their meaning.

It was a leftover message from that old fox. And its content was mind blowing for him.

The message kept flickering in front of his eyes for three times in a row, taking an hour each to reveal the content of the entire message each time.

"This is the true secret of this place then…" William said when the message stopped playing at last.

From what he read, he got to know the ancient history of this fort. It wasn\'t built by any spirit master as William thought, as everyone here believed. It was built on the hands of Transformers!

It was initially a ten-pillar fort, with ten hills not nine holding it in place. But for a reason, some sort of a huge battle erupted in ancient times, ending up damaging that tenth pillar.

It was located at the centre. According to the old fox\'s words, it had the ability to open a path towards the outer world.

William didn\'t know this before, didn\'t know that monsters and dark spirit masters here, alongside their scary allies like Transformers, got a way to connect themselves with the outer vast world.

He knew there were gates, where anyone from the vast world outside could connect with folks inside. But these gates were controlled by those out there, and connection couldn\'t be initiated normally from within. But reading the words of the old fox added a new insight and realisation to William.

It seemed like the ancient spirit masters in this region rallied themselves and took this central pillar down. In return for that, they took over the fort, acting as the old ancestors of the ones living here right now.

But that didn\'t mean Transformers got totally expelled from this fort. They moved their bases outside the fort, taking the many hills around as their homes. They also kept slowly infiltrating through the spirit masters living here, roping many to their sides, while killing others who seemed a bit dangerous.

The Transformers seemed to retreat a bit, but they didn\'t stop what they were doing. They kept controlling this fort from shadows, nourishing even a huge number of dark spirit masters to their side.

The message spoke about a few places the old fox learnt about. According to him, these were where many dark spirit masters lived. William stored all this information in his mind, knowing that he got enough to start his crusade against the dark spirit masters and the Transformers behind them.

"As I expected, to take down those damn bastards, I have to start with the dark spirit masters first. But to think that such a path was here, it means there might be other places like these in this world."

If there were paths connecting worlds together, that meant dark folks here would get constant support from the outer world.

"That doesn\'t seem right… I never heard of such a tactic used by the dark spirit masters or any of their allies out there…" This was indeed quite new intel for William. And it changed lots of things.
