Chapter 1068 Bye Bye Fox Statue!
"How is my daughter doing in all this?" All of sudden, the king shifted the topic toward his daughter, and Sloth explained how she reacted to what happened to William.
"She did great recently, good for her. She still had such fighting spirit from her mother, hahaha!" the king laughed, and that comment made the other two feel a bit awkward.
"Anyway, I believed this war was special when I first heard about it, and now I\'m sure it was going to be epic, hahaha!"
The king was such a fierce master, one who didn\'t resign to any defeat, and got excited in front of any new challenge.
"I do agree with Your Majesty, but we need to prepare for big losses…" Sloth wanted to gently remind the king that with every great battle, lots of sacrifices were expected.
"That\'s not an issue," yet the king didn\'t think the same way Sloth and Panther did, "We suffered a strong blow by what happened to the capital. Even with everything that we tried to do, later on, our fame and name are tarnished. We need something to wipe away such shame, and that must come at a price…"
The king was indeed right, the fame of the kingdom became as low as any weak one. He wanted nothing more but to do something to regain respect for his people, to his kingdom. And that was why he decided to personally show up and lead this crusade.
"Spread my orders, This battle is going to be tough, but we will win it," the king paused before adding, "Let everyone shout the name of our kingdom all the time, when walking, when resting, and even when killing the enemies. Let the name of our kingdom be heard far and wide, let us remind everyone about who we are!"
The king didn\'t just aspire to win but wanted to use this victory to wash away the shame the kingdom suffered recently. Sloth and Panther could get his viewpoint and got nothing to say but to bow and leave to execute the orders.
The next few days were quite hectic! The people of the Novistic kingdom army kept shouting the name of their kingdom all the time! They made it like a chorus, as a song everyone sang in praise for the kingdom.
William was sitting in his underground cave when he suddenly got jolted awake. "Damn, bad luck! The spirit power ran dry from this statue…" he couldn\'t help but sigh while watching the statue turn into powder.
He absorbed the spirit power stored within and learnt everything that the mysterious master left inside. He now knew the right way to capture and seal that monster, and that all started with the powder left by that statue.
The statue wasn\'t gone, as it had the spirits of a master and a monster. It was impossible for it to turn into dust like this, but this was all the doing of that master.
This powder was the key to the scheme that Master planned a long time ago. And William could do nothing but carefully collect it, not leaving behind a single speck of dust. He stored it all inside one of his rings, and then he checked the time.
"There are still three days till our meeting… Shall I go out and check over things? Or…"
He had an idea already about what to do once the statue would run dry of spirit power. He wasn\'t like without options here, and so he decided to keep himself locked in here and work over the new item he had.
*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*
He took out lots of heavy boxes, ones that he gained from the other world before. These were his accidental loot from an adventure there, one that he ended up having, and a mysterious scroll.
The scroll was still sealed, not showing anything to him, not even opening at all. He tried to open it now but failed again.
"It seems the problem isn\'t in the lack of enough spirit power… There is something else missing here…" he muttered to himself while storing this weird scroll away.
Then he turned his eyes towards the boxes.
The boxes he took out were big in size, very heavy, and they were sealed. He knew they were absorbing spirit power from the world around them, and inside every box of them tons of spirit power.
He couldn\'t tell if the spirit power inside every box was enough to take him towards the pinnacle stage, but he was sure they weren\'t any lesser in amount than what that fox statue had.
"I\'d better store others," he knew the mess coming out from releasing the spirit power stored within one box might stir up the stored spirit power in other boxes. And so he just left one out, before starting to lay down arrays around it.
To absorb this spirit power, one had to release it first. And so he started by making a spirit power entrapment array, then one that\'d concentrate it inside and purify it.
He knew at his current stage of power, absorbing the spirit power of the world wasn\'t enough for him. So he needed to concentrate this spirit power, to let him accelerate in absorbing the spirit power in the shortest time.
Yet he never thought he underestimated these boxes, and he was going to learn this fact in the hardest way possible.
As he finished laying down the arrays, he started to write symbols over the box surface using his blood. He needed to establish a connection between himself and that box first, then he\'d take out the spirit power stored inside.
As he did all this, he sat directly on top of the box and didn\'t activate his spirit body.
