Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"I know, I noticed what that damn lizard did back there," Ibra cursed while running as fast as he could, "now what? Shall we retreat inside the array and start finding another monster from inside?"

"Getting scared already? What a real strong spirit master you are!"

"Scared my as*! Stop spouting such nonsense or else…"

"Watch out! Another one is up ahead…" William interrupted Ibra's threatening words when he noticed another monster at the forefront, "we'll do it like before."

"Don't slack then, attack fast, fast!" Ibra didn't care about the monster they were going to meet and kept looking behind at that enraged and crazy lizard which kept running and chasing them relentlessly.

The lizard didn't get stopped by anything! It wracked through trees like they were made out of thin paper! Even the few rocks scattered around got smashed into pieces under its brutal charge.

Seeing all this was enough to drive anyone over the edge of fear. But William wasn't showing any of that on his face.

He knew the true terror would appear once they attracted a few more of these scary monsters and made them chase after them.

"Damn! If I knew you are this crazy, I wouldn't have followed you here!"

In the next half an hour, the two managed to meet, hit, and entice the rage of six of the gold grade monsters. As William suspected, they met two new monsters that weren't included in John's drawings.

But this didn't stop William. He could recognise the type of monster from just its sound, body shape, and even from the way it hid its body in the middle of the trees.

Each time he met a monster, he didn't fail to mark the usual attack it used, and successfully stopped it using his sword and dash.

Then Ibra followed in the next second, hit the monster hard with his glaive, before the two made a run for their lives.

Looking at them right now was quite funny actually. Two spirit masters ran as fast as they could, while one was cursing and screaming in panic, and the other was laughing from the bottom of his heart.

And after these two, six scary gold grade monsters kept running fiercely, chasing these two as fast and relentless as they could.

"Time to call it a day," William suddenly shouted, turning his direction at a sharp angle, heading directly towards the array, "follow me!"

"Don't think about leaving me behind, or I'll curse you even after I'm gone from this world!" Ibra hastily changed his direction, and such a sudden move stumbled his run, making him slightly roll on the ground, falling behind, as he shouted from the top of his lungs.

William was adept at running fast, even got his lightning technique to use at many occasions. That made Ibra, the one who was much stronger than him, struggle to keep up.

"Don't slack behind! That centipede monster is quite fast and will catch up with us in less than a minute."

"What the heck are you talking about? Holy sh*t! Since when can centipedes grow to such a scale? Dammit!"

Just before Ibra would continue his complaining words, a giant centipede appeared from the trees up ahead.

That monster was the reason behind William's sudden decision to end their run here. He knew this monster quite well and knew they couldn't even dream about getting away from it once they got in its attack range.

Even for someone like him, who got his lightning fast moving technique, he would still get affected by this centipede's deadly and unstoppable attack.

After all, who could defend against poison scattered in the air? This would require a special type of spirit master, one who could use water or ice to help and purify the air from this deadly toxin, or one who was quite adept at dealing with toxins.

William didn't even hesitate for one second to take such a decision on the spot. And Ibra once spotted that giant centipede moving around trees, surrounding their trunks and swirling around them like it was a group of flexible snakes or something, he started to run faster than ever.

He felt an alarming siren going on in his mind, warning him from an impending danger approaching from that centipede.

"Huff… Huff… I won't follow you anywhere anymore… Huff… Huff… You are a damn crazy spirit master, a demon, the craziest I ever met! Even crazier than myself!"

"Stop whining," William looked in better shape than Ibra while the two were finally safely inside the array, "we shouldn't stop here. Let's go, we got a team waiting for us."

"Gimme a minute… Let me catch my breaths first…"

"That centipede can erode arrays," William knew Ibra wasn't physically exhausted. This dude didn't deplete much of his spirit power like William. But his mental strength was pressured too much from the deadly half an hour they experienced outside the array, "if you want to end up as a dinner for that dude, then you are free to stay behind. I'm leaving!"

"Screw You! Tsk! What did I associate myself with? A freaking psycho or what?!!"

"Just keep moving," William's last threats worked and Ibra didn't stand in his place for another second.

He got deeply scared by that centipede as William guessed. So, it was expected for him to run despite wanting to take a few minutes of rest.

William knew his shield was impregnable against those gold grade monsters. If it could be broken down by any of them, then things would have gotten bad a long time ago.

But he wanted to leave fast so these monsters would lose track of the two of them. Once that happened, the monsters would shift their attention from them and focus to vent their rage over others around.

Just before the two ran for five minutes, they started to hear loud noises of battle coming from far behind. Ibra's mind worked fast, and he knew what kind of trick he fell into.
