Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"Prepare an escape route," out of the blue, the old man suddenly said, "the final escape route, do you get it?"

"This…" The two exchanged looks together, while Moore couldn\'t believe his ears, "but lord… Things are going as planned."

"That\'s why we need to worry," the old man didn\'t look the same confident and excited one from minutes ago, "the more things looked perfect, the more they\'d end up quite messy in the end. I didn\'t survive all this time thanks to my strength, but thanks to thinking about the worst when things looked great. Go, prepare the safe exit from this cursed place. If things go south, we\'ll drag all we can with us and leave towards the other continent."

The two couldn\'t believe what their lord said. But in the end, they got nothing to say or do but to nod and walk away. As for the third person here, the one who heard such shocking words, Moore, he got a storm inside his mind.

William dared him that he\'d help him to achieve the impossible. And yet from William\'s words, he felt another thing.

It was as if William could read the future and was sure about his success and victory over his current lord. Such a feeling was quite annoying, especially when everything pointed towards the grand success of his lord\'s plan.

But when his lord suddenly spoke about retreat, not only retreating away from here but running away to another continent, Moore couldn\'t help but get inwardly shaken.

In his mind, things seemed to go the wrong way, a way without a return ticket. And that made all his faith in his current lord tremble, and for a moment there the face of William kept lingering in his mind.

"Damn! Don\'t tell me he expected all this to happen!!!" he thought to himself while watching his supposedly mighty and fearless lord sit down, looking much older than he usually looked like.

Away from here, William was deeply immersed in his weird test. He kept fighting, releasing torrents of deadly attacks while killing anything and everything he met.

From behind, his team kept following through all this. Unlike him, they already noticed the grand movement that happened here when grand armies joined this battle, turning it into a true war!

It was already five hours after Thomas noticed the early signs of the new force in the region. By now, he wasn\'t the only one who noticed them, but everyone else as well. When the armies from the fort arrived, they announced their presence in the most shocking way.

One army after another joined this battle, attacking the monsters and dark spirit masters without any mercy or delay. They used deadly attacks in large numbers, enough to shake the ground all over the world.

In the team\'s eyes, the edge of these grand hostile forces stood other grinding grounds, places where deadly fights started to happen all the time.

At the same time, William\'s team was collecting cores, monster materials, and above all loot from the fallen dark spirit masters, or what was left out of them.

William didn\'t realise it, but he was like a grinding machine. No matter who met him, they ended up either dead, thrown in the air with lots of wounds, or even missing limbs. The only ones who managed to stand against him were just five, and they were five in the mid ranks of the dark gold grade.

They suffered little injuries, but not enough to immobilise them. They tried to get at his team members on many occasions, but William always kept an eye over these in his weird world.

They tried to get William down, but they failed. The necklace William had was really doing a great job in protecting him. The five instantly shifted target and aimed at his teammates. However, William kept an eye on them all the time.

The moment he spotted them, and no matter what he was doing, he\'d simply change his target and land over these five. He stopped them one time after another, reaching such a stalemate where no side could take down the other.

"This isn\'t going to work!" One of these five finally decided to speak up, "we have to think about ourselves."

"This kid… he has such annoying gear that protects him! I bet it\'s that damn annoying necklace from that fort!"

"I tried to convince others to go and steal it. See what this little piece of sh*t caused to all of us here!"

"It\'s not the right time for any of that, we need to put into consideration the grander battle."

"The distress message was sent, and I\'m sure reinforcements are on the way here."

"What if… That boss of ours didn\'t come?"

"No way! You know him, he can\'t accept having any stain on his face at all!"

"I know, that\'s why I\'m fearing his punishment more than anything here!"

"That\'s… You indeed have a point here…"

"Then… What do you think we shall do?"

"To survive of course! Let\'s run away, find any chance and break away from here, the furthest the better."

"I\'m with you then."

"Me too! I don\'t want to be held accountable for such a defeat!"

"That boss of us… He is much scarier than any other dark gold enemy in that fort."

"It\'s settled then! Let\'s wait until reinforcements arrive, feign a counterattack before running away from here."

"Well said! How about this annoying fox then? What shall we do about him?"

"If we are already running away, why care about any of that? Let\'s spare our strength, retreat and heal, scan the area around, looking for any possible weak points."
