Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"It's cool, you did great," William said in praise of that statue, "at least you didn't listen to that jerk."

"You knew?" the statue was surprised by this, and William evilly smirked.

"It wants to learn if there is a weak spot in my way, and unfortunately for it, there is none," William laughed, "all that'll happen in the end is for more statues to get destroyed and wrecked by me. Anyway, it's time to go back."

It wasn't William's will, but he felt the world starting to reject him. It wasn't the same as the fierce rejection force he felt before, as this one was quite nice and soft.

He went back to the real world, and this time he didn't feel any pain or exhaustion, no backlash at all. Everything went smoothly this time, and a few more times next.

William made sure to invite the fox monster every single time he ended up dealing with a statue. That monster was stubborn, and that made it suffer more beating from William.

After doing this dozens of times, the monster's face was all red and swollen, while all of its four limbs were broken. It was now lying on the ground, unable to move, while others could only watch it and lament its bad luck and foolishness.

It was clear how brutal William was. Any statue that dared to reject the offer ended up getting destroyed under his tails. William didn't show mercy and never gave anyone a second chance. All he did was just lead others into the Fate and Destiny world, and then deal with the consequences.

Out of ten statues, three would act rogue and refuse to accept the deal. William killed these without batting an eye while leaving the big names for the last on purpose.

He kept beating the Nightmare monster until it turned into a meat pie. Eventually, the number of statues rejecting his offer reduced to be one in every ten statues.

The statues couldn't do anything with the presence of all these masters. It wasn't just the leaders of this army, but tons of normal masters flooded this place and were ready to intervene.

[Our only hope lies in the incoming reinforcements, any news?] 

[They are still dealing with the gate issue, and need more time…]

[We need to buy them time then, any ideas?]

The leaders of the statues didn't stop speaking among themselves. They went through all the possibilities and suggestions, ending up with literally nothing of value.

Trying to debate with William, speak, and argue didn't work. The man was fixed on activating the Mystic Art every single time he finished with the last one. And their attempts to start any debate, negotiate, or speak about anything ended up in failure.

And they couldn't cause any trouble here. The number of masters was simply overbearing. And they were weakened, unable to hold a candle to any of them.

They tried to instigate other statues to cause trouble, speak up with William at the Fate and Destiny world, and try to waste some time. But they either didn't listen, or they tried and failed.

William was sure reinforcements were on their way here. Staying behind and waiting for them to arrive was the dumbest option he'd do in such a situation.

The best way was to get done from all this, then move back and leave this place with everyone. He didn't get where the exit portal was, and the attempts to find it by masters didn't yield any results.

It sounded as if there wasn't a single gate here, something that didn't make sense to him.

"I'm sure one of you knows the right way out of here," he thought to himself while eyeing the ten leaders of the statues. After two days, he finished dealing with all of the statues, except these ten. In addition to them, the miserable Nightmare monster was still left behind.

William stopped asking it anymore, simply came back, and then gave this monster a hellish beating. After some time, the Nightmare monster stopped cursing, didn't heal itself as it was futile, and pleaded for mercy.

"Please, kill me, end this, kill me, and get rid of my presence…"

"Shut up!" William's response was always the same, shouting to silence that pathetic monster, then giving it a proper beating. He made sure to not hit it at any place that might kill it. After all, this monster wasn't the same as before and was greatly weakened.

"It's your turn now," William already asked many of the statues he made a deal with about the location of the main exit gate from here, but none gave any useful answer.

They knew such a gate existed, but didn't know where it was, or how to activate it. They all shared the same answer, stating that the ten leaders knew such an answer. And that made William quite curious about where this gate was.

The masters were sent everywhere, searching the entire area up and down. The place was already vast, but it went without saying that the gate wasn't that far away from here.

An escape route must be close, and easily accessible by the statues. Or else, it wouldn't be marked as a safe exit path.

"You, get ready, I'll start with you," William gave them enough time to know it was a futile endeavour to mess with him or think about rejecting his offer. He selected the wolf right from the start, the one whom he met the first back at the Scorching Lands fort before, the main leader of all the Transformers.

William decided to go with it, so if it tried to act funny, killing it would scare the rest. And if it was smart enough, it'd agree and accept the offer, ending up following William.

"Hmph! As if we have any choice in that!"

"As if you deserve such a choice in the first place," William snorted back, before starting to prepare the materials and organs needed for this Mystic Art.
