During this time, the enemy seemed to sniff what was going on here and stopped sending more sheep for him to slaughter.
But that didn't mean he didn't meet any enemy at all. "This is really interesting!" just as he arrived there, he found at least a thousand dark spirit masters gathered up, waiting for him, "they didn't send more fodders and gathered them in one place… It's indeed effective… But not against me."
William knew his necklace was like his most valuable asset right now. He was fighting this carefree thanks to the perfect protective shield he got. If not for it, he'd have spent ten times more the effort to just do half of what he just did.
But this also came on a premise… The more attacks the necklace shielded, the more spirit power it consumed. He didn't have time to check it thoroughly, but he estimated this when he was fighting the enemies crazily. When he activated his spirit body and fought the enemies, almost half of his spirit power consumption came from this necklace alone.
As he saw just a grand gathering here, he knew the consumption rate was going to skyrocket!
But he didn't care. He stopped using potions, took one elixir out and emptied its content in his mouth. Then he started to use his technique freely without any worry.
"I'm going to kill you!" Just as he landed a few devastational hits at the grand gathering here, leaving behind many craters and holes, killing and wounding lots of them, one single shout came to startle him.
In the middle of all this, it was clear that any spirit master of gold grade and below wasn't an enemy for William. So, when that dude shouted and moved towards him, and without the need to even check the true power of the incoming enemy, William knew he was going to fight a dark gold master.
As he knew that, he started to charge up his technique in full cylinders. He started jumping hundreds of metres in succession, without releasing any stacked attack on his sword.
He just kept jumping from one point to another, buying himself little time while that dude was already tracking and chasing him like crazy.
At the same time, all of the enemies around were attacking him nonstop. The moment William switched gears and went to charge up his full powered technique, he didn't attack a single time using his deadly technique. He only limited his attacks to his knives, and those could be easily countered by any of the many gold dark masters here. And that made everyone around try to take a bite off him.
Yet his necklace proved that it was worth more than its weight in gold at this moment. No matter who attacked, even the one crazily chasing after him, his necklace kept him safe, without even suffering a single harm.
That came of course on the cost of raising his spirit power consumption. But as he was using an entire elixir bottle right now, it meant nothing at all.
"Enough," William just flashed for fifteen times, stacking fifteen attacks on his sword. He never tried to go to such a limit before, but this wasn't the fort, this was the forest, this was the open world.
He was alone, and he had to do all that he could to take that annoying enemy down. Just during the past minutes, he jumped around this place, and just this dude kept shouting and running after him.
That told William that in each grand gathering of the enemy forces, at least here, there was just a single dark gold dark spirit master leading everyone.
If that was the case, then William had to just attack that dude and severely wound him. Or better, if he managed to stack such attacks more than once, then these scary folks would be done for.
"I hope you are ready to meet your maker!" that dark gold master didn't realise how bad his current situation was.
"I hope the same to you," William suddenly changed his direction abruptly, moving towards the incoming dude for the first time since this fervent chase.
The two raised their swords high in the air, and then released their deadly attacks over one another. A grand ball of energy appeared, expanding fast to cover up a large number of dark spirit masters around in no time.
It was bright white and red in colour, and then it exploded. A fierce explosion erupted, releasing tons of dirt and rocks in the air. At the same time, loud heart curdling screams echoed, coming from the lots of dark spirit masters who got engulfed in the middle of this explosion aftermath.
The explosion was so fierce that it forced almost half of the masters here to the ground, pushing them back, even sending many flying in the air.
In the middle of all this, a very deep hole appeared. People had to go to the edge to see what was inside. And in there, William stood like a statue, tall and looking quite scary with all the blood that covered up his majestic fox body.
He wasn't the one who bled, but this blood all came from the one who just clashed with him. On the ground, just ten metres away or so, a weak silhouette of that dark gold master was there, kneeling on the ground, with one arm and leg missing, a deep wound over the side of his belly and chest.
William knew that clashing the two techniques against each other was going to take lots of his scary technique's power. So, he had to place lots of trust in his necklace to stop this dude's attack, delaying his sword for a few seconds, before releasing death over his foe.
The end conclusion was something that he always hoped for. "Like how Ibra would say in such a situation, tsk! You are just at the early stage of the dark gold grade, and you dare to come at me? Humph! What a lousy loser you are."
