Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master



There were already three dangerous places, ones that satisfied his criteria. He agreed with Fonda before to lead him towards these regions once getting things done.

"Are you leaving now? So soon?!" Just when he came out from his room, he found Fonda sitting there with Tara and Angelica. They were eating lunch, and he joined them while telling them about his decision.

Fonda was so surprised about that. She thought after seeing how his name rose in this world, at least in the wide areas and regions around this city, William would think again about leaving here and going towards the deadly zones like before.

Yet when he said it, and from the firm look on his face when she exclaimed in shock, she knew she got it all wrong, her royal family's leaders got it all wrong.

William seemed to have something that drove him to go there, something far more important than any wealth, fame, or power. And she was totally right this time about her guess.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?"

William didn't wait for Fonda's response on what he just said. He didn't inform her asking for permission, but gently notified her of the deal. He already got the maps with detailed explanation for how to reach there, with lots of data related to these three dangerous places.

And when he moved away, under the shocking and doubtful gazes of Fonda, Angelica followed him per habit. And yet he stopped her from following him in this journey.

"This place is really nice, and I'm going to places that I can't guarantee even my safety there."

"But…"

"Just stay behind, I'm going out alone," William cut the path on her to argue, continued to walk away while raising his fist in the air, "let's meet again in the future, and may our next meeting be more peaceful and calmer than this time."

"..."

Without knowing why, Angelica felt real bitter, damn bitter deep down her heart. As for Fonda, William's last words jolted her awake from her daze.

"So he is coming back in the future? That's indeed good news," she mistook his meaning. She thought he was going to just try out his luck there, finish touring and visiting these places then return back and take a home here.

In her eyes, this was quite expected. After all, who was the mad master to refuse living such a life, a life of kings and queens? She hurriedly relayed the news over, telling her leaders about what she got totally wrong.

The leaders were now sitting with the different cities' envoys when they got the news. At first, they felt the same disbelief as Fonda. But when she added her last remark, everyone felt this made quite sense.

And yet the leaders and others from different cities decided to send formidable masters, tag along William and keep an eye over him.

William walked outside the city without looking back. He took out the three maps describing the route towards the different dangerous places and examined them again.

The three places were thousands of kilometres away from this city. A normal journey towards there would take a week or two, and that by just running continuously without even taking a single moment of rest.

Yet he wasn't that confident in his ability to just run directly towards there. He couldn't yet use his spirit in its full form, at most could use one tail.

He tried many times to undo the seal with lots of arrays but failed. He thought he'd find anything useful about this seal in the tons of scrolls he read, but he didn't find any clue.

William thought the seal would grow weaker the more he resisted it, but that wasn't the case. The tattoo on his chest wasn't getting weaker, not after trying to change to one tail form.

Every single time he took a rest to copy the scrolls, he'd change into one tailed form. From all these attempts, he learnt that he could still use his various spirit elements successfully, but one at a time.

Such a limitation greatly lowered his fighting prowess. And that was why he planned to not risk going out and fighting freely against any monsters or dark masters.

The bad news was that two out of these three dangerous places were situated near dark masters' cities.

As Angelica said before, this continent was entirely controlled by the dark masters. Yet these masters didn't have such control over everything, and there were many spots where normal masters were living and fighting them.

The cities that sent their masters accepting his offer all came from these cities. And as they were scattered along vast places, they needed months to travel towards that city, trying to evade the authority of the dark masters in the continent.

Only one dangerous place was in an area that didn't fall under the control of dark masters. And William decided to start with this one first, try out his luck.

This place was like a colossal place filled with swamps. According to the intel provided by the city leaders, the place was covered up with toxic green fog, thick enough to block the sight of anything deeper than one hundred metres.

The swamp region had two known zones, the outer and inner ones. The outer zone was dangerous, stretched out for tens of kilometres, but it wasn't life threatening, not like the inner zone.

Masters could go into the outer swamp and adventure through it, kill monsters living within, collect their cores and materials, before returning back.

The main threat didn't come from the fog itself. According to the intel written on the map, this fog caused faint numbness and a bit of weakness, one that wasn't deadly and could be countered easily by healing potions.

Monsters were the main deadly threat in the outer zone. They could vanish using the dirty toxic water of the swamps, the hard to see through fog, and the difficult terrain there.
