Chapter 532 Meeting The Storm
Ibra was the closest of the entire team towards the Selvators, very aggressive, very brutal, and quite daring. He also got a harsh tongue that never ceased to speak to William without any restraints.
As for her big sister, she was now like a princess of fairy tales. She was still taller than William, looking more beautiful than even Sara and Berry combined. Not to mention her unravelled self-confidence, which made her not care about the ongoing competition between Sara and Berry.
In Lina\'s eyes, like in any Selvators eyes, any problem that couldn\'t be solved with words better be solved with fists. As if such race even considered speaking first before fighting.
"Something is coming!"
Just as the team was having fun, enjoying such heated-up battles one after another, Thomas suddenly spoke up.
This spirit master became like bad news beacon, never said anything unless something bad was about to happen. That made his image look a bit bad in the eyes of others, even calling him the Trouble Lord.
"What\'s up?" William turned almost instantly towards Thomas, who was few tens of metres away from him. The team just cleared a grand gathering of gold and silver grade Black Shielded Hyenas. And were now collecting their loot.
William never cared about getting anything but the cores of the monsters he personally slain. After all, and even if his training techniques consumed cores like running water, he got tons of cores bought by his grand and rapidly growing wealth.
"The storm… It\'s coming… But…"
Thomas seemed to struggle to explain what he saw, which was a much worse sign in William\'s eyes. "Tell me what you saw," William demanded, and Thomas sighed.
"It\'s better if I drew it then," Thomas took out a scroll, an ink bottle, and brush, started to draw something over the yellow paper. Everyone else of the team came closer to see what he was drawing. And soon enough a weird symbol appeared in front of William\'s and everyone\'s eyes.
It was like a head of a bear or something. Instead of having eyes, it got two eleven headed stars there. William took just a single second to get what this symbol meant. And when he did, he felt instant panic.
"Take out your crystals out, examine your spirit power… Hurry up!" William didn\'t say anything for a few seconds, but the change on his face told everyone that this was bad news.
William then took out a spirit crystal and a candle, started to examine his spirit power.
"Damn! What happened to my spirit power?"
"I\'m… I\'m missing one hundred points!"
"Me too!"
"Damn! How have this happened?!!"
"I never heard of anything like this before!!!"
Shock, fear, and confusion were all that happened to the team. William also lost one hundred spirit points, and that made him feel quite excited.
Yes, you read it right, he wasn\'t worried or panicked like everyone else. Instead, he raised his head, looked at the direction where Thomas pointed towards, the direction where this storm was coming at them, with eyes shimmering in pure excitement.
"That\'s… That\'s just great!" William\'s expression was against what everyone else here had. And when he said these words, they felt more confusion about this.
"Boss why are you happy about this?" one of the team asked. Aside from the vice leaders who got the privilege and used to call William by his name directly, others preferred a much safer approach, calling him their boss.
It was also a sign for their respect towards him.
"Yes, why are you happy about this?" everyone was puzzled, including his vice leaders, "we lost one hundred points each! It\'s not something worthy of celebration like this!"
"In fact, it is," William\'s eyes started to shine in dangerous white light. Since he started training over the black fox technique, and his hair and eyes started to change to white.
William didn\'t get it, but it felt like this was the way of the universe to balance things out for him. He got his spirit power and spirit body change from the normal and common colours into black. And with it, his eyes and hair started to change.
Pushing the colour aside, seeing this look made everyone who knew him for long enough to feel a subtle tremble in their hearts. This look… This shimmering eyes with greed and desire… It was a well-known look for William whenever he met some sort of a gem or treasure that he desperately wanted.
And that told them they weren\'t cursed, instead they were blessed by a great chance here, at least it was the case in the eyes of their boss.
"It\'s something great, hahahaha! Let\'s go, let\'s go and inspect this storm first," William didn\'t explain anything at first, and chose to act. The old team members already got used to how he used to do things. And seeing him act in this way just confirmed their earlier doubts.
Their boss would never be this impatient to not speak up and act in such rashness unless something great was coming their way.
And like this, the entire team picked up pace, killed many monsters for three more hours, before they finally saw it.
It was much grandiose that what they imagined before. From the words of everyone they met, they got few ideas about how this storm was like.
They thought it would be formed of dark clouds and filled with fog all over the place. But when they saw the storm, they realised they got it wrong.
There weren\'t any clouds seen, in fact they couldn\'t see any sky above that colossal ball of black fog. It looked as if it was formed of liquid, like a gigantic ball made out of mercury, but in black and not silver!
It didn\'t give anyone the impression it was made out of gas or fog, and it felt like anyone getting in there would get drowned and wouldn\'t survive.
"What the hell is this?!"
