Chapter 491 Risking Everything To Rise Up
Many exclaimed, and William just raised one hand to silence them all.
"Can you see any weak points there?"
"No," Thomas paused, "it seems they took their time to rearrange themselves and totally surround us. I\'d say we\'d meet up with ten thousand masters in any direction we\'d pick."
"Screw this," William was fed up with this, took something out before adding, "surround me, don\'t let a single monster or enemy stop me at all. And don\'t get startled if anything weird comes out from me, got it?"
His words made many puzzled. But those who knew his secret didn\'t have anything else to think about but that scary fox they saw before.
Who knew they were going to get more shocked when they\'d see what was going to happen next!
William didn\'t just take anything out of his rings. As he was cornered like this, dreaming about crossing this small gap with killing monsters was a dream that wouldn\'t come true.
Instead of dreaming about the impossible, he took one gold grade core, and decided to devour it.
"I hope I got enough to absorb all of you without getting a fierce backlash," he inwardly prayed, before letting his blood cover up this core and start devouring it.
The moment he did that, he felt like an intense heat was bathing his body in mere seconds. He felt intense pain, and that was enough to make him expect the worst.
However… Just in the next ten seconds or so, something seemed to crack open inside him. The intense heat that felt like lava changed, and warm feeling bathed his body next, washing away any pain he felt.
He felt like some sort of a door got opened, a closed thing that cracked open at this moment. And without the need to check anything, he knew he already passed through the milestone of the silver grade.
Once he became an official silver grade spirit master, the gold grade core spirit power became something his body could handle. And that wasn\'t all!
As he suspected, taking such a leap would bring forth something new. But he never expected such a new change to be ground shaking at all. His body shone in bright silver light, astonishing everyone around. All they saw was for him to take one core out, stain it with his blood, and then it turned into ash.
The next few seconds, he showed an intense expression over his face, as if he was struggling or something. And then all this vanished, a bright smile appeared on his face as if he crushed and won over something, before the bright silver light appeared.
And then weird things started to happen!
A huge shadow of a fox appeared, but it was a little different this time. It wasn\'t the same as when he activated his fox spirit before, not taking a solid form but a sort of illusion or something. And yet it felt like William was in total control of the fox. As he closed his eyes, the fox also closed its.
That wasn\'t all, what changed from what the gold grade members saw before was that this fox didn\'t have one tail, but two! And these tails weren\'t just looking normal. As they flapped and moved, they left behind afterimages of different colours, as if it got formed of more than one layer or form of energy or something.
There were white, silver, black, green, and red coloured trails left behind each tail in an amazing way. These were the colours of William\'s spirit elements that got stirred up with his evolution process.
And then… Monsters started to flood this place like crazy!
*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!*
"Watch out! Monsters are coming here like a flood!"
Thomas was the first to shout, discerning the true nature of the incoming tsunami of monsters.
They expected dark spirit masters to arrive here, not monsters. But for a reason none knew, something attracted the monsters\' attention from a huge area around.
"Sh*t! Scatter around, don\'t let anything come close to him," Berry was the first to react, cursed out loud while feeling more shocked inwardly.
She wasn\'t alone, all of the silver and lower spirit masters in the team got the same kind of shock. They now realised the true nature of William, linked it to the scary fox everyone was speaking about back at the fort.
Just linking the two together made their minds blow up! The veteran spirit masters who accompanied William from the academy got used to different situations where William truly shocked them. But this time it was different.
William didn\'t shock them using his gears, his special methods and arrays, or even by his outstanding and unique way of thinking and plans… He did it using his pure strength this time, and this was perhaps the first time they felt such a shock from him thanks to that.
Even when he was devastating the monsters and enemies they faced so far, it wasn\'t that shocking. But now? They realised that all the legendary stories they heard, all the previous explosions and scary roars came from none other than him.
Then they moved their eyes over the gold grade members in the team. And from the look on their faces, they all realised these folks got what William did earlier.
The weird and tense atmosphere from before got explained. But right now none got the luxury to deal with any of this. The monsters just got attracted to William\'s spirit form, and they came in such a sudden and crazy way.
"Stay alert! The dark spirit masters are following these…" Thomas shouted again. Even before the monsters would clash with the team, the dark spirit masters decided to take advantage of this and move as well.
Like this, the entire situation hyped up and reached an unprecedented level out of nowhere.
Yet luckily for them, monsters had few minutes to arrive, giving them enough time to react and rearrange their lineup and formation.
"Just hang in there," Ibra shouted, while waving his glaive a couple of times in the air, "my team, get ready to move out!"
