Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

He got to stop his attempt and even cancelled his spirit form. As he recuperated, he was shocked to discover that he even suffered wounds at his real body from this failed attempt.

Not to mention his spirit power got exhausted by more than eighty percent.

Everything pointed towards this as a limitation of his current form. "To use more elements, I have to activate two tails then, or even more tails later on. And to do so, I have to increase my spirit power, evolve my spirit, and absorb more monster spirits… My spirit power shall pass the silver grade boundaries first before trying the two tailed form…"

He started to have a roadmap in his mind. He knew by this form alone, his fighting abilities got a huge boost, at least got doubled. But that wasn't enough. If he compared his current strength with a proper gold grade spirit master like Ibra or Ro, then he wasn't that bad, but he wasn't strong enough to easily take them down.

Aside from all this, there was a good thing here. He could keep his life safe in any fight against gold grade foes at least. But he wouldn't be able to kill them, only deeply wound them without using his sword.

He tried before, and failed to grasp his sword properly in his fox form. But he got an idea, and when he executed it, his sword finally could be used by his body.

"Using my tail to hold the sword isn't that bad, but it's quite distracting…" he analysed the new way he thought about and tried to hold his sword. The tail acted like his hand, firmly holding the sword, moving it around like he was holding it with his hand.

But this came on the expense of distracting him. He needed to exert more attention and focus, or else he'd lose the grip over that sword.

Luckily for him, he could control his flying knives perfectly fine. And that made him think about something.

"If I made gauntlets and claws, big enough to be wielded by me in the spirit form, then my strength would increase as well…"

He didn't just think only about that, he started to consider forging a full body armour, arm guards, shoulder guards, and even protective piece for his tail and a special helmet for his fox head.

He didn't know how strong exactly his new fox spirit body was. But he didn't want to take any risks. If he could add more strength, speed, and defence to his spirit body, then why wouldn't he do that?

It was just the problem of what materials he should use, where he'd find these, how much would that cost him, and when he should start forging these personally customised gears.

He knew not any material could be used here. Only the materials with spirit power conduction ability could be used in forging these special gears.

Normal gears wouldn't work over this solid spirit body. Even if he used a higher-grade gears, even dark gold grade ones, without a spirit power conduction ability in the materials used in making these gears, they wouldn't give any bonus to his fox body.

Even the materials getting processed using other materials like the candle of light weren't going to work. And such high spirit affinity would make the price of these materials sky high, and it was rare and hard to find such materials in the first place.

Not to mention William was still weak and couldn't make really strong gears right now.

"I shall wait, look around, and make the best use of any chance," he muttered to himself while deciding to postpone such plans for later.

He then returned to continue activating his spirit and getting more adept at doing it. After the day passed, he felt exhausted and hungry.

"I shall call it a day," he looked around. The entire place covered inside his arrays really got a total makeover!

Lots of deep holes, craters, and even thick tongues of smoke kept rising from many places. This place was now much closer to any place hit by an apocalypse or suffered a deadly battle between scary spirit masters and monsters.

William already built his arrays to cover up a few thousands of metres around and let the exit from this world in the centre of all this.

So, he didn't need to leave his arrays, and just had to walk towards the exit and leave this world.

William was busy training and testing his new fox form, but he never dropped his guard. He always kept an eye over the outside, trying to see if there was anyone out there trying to bark inside.

But even till he left, there was none. And yet, he never dropped his guard.

The young manager he met already set the sirens of alarm loud in his mind. It was clear that he wanted to know more about him, spy on his actions, and he wasn't alone. He tried more than once, and William could tell there were people helping him from the shadows.

William didn't need to stay here forever. He just wanted to test his theory, and he just did. His way to activate his spirit became much easier and faster than the first time he did it.

He knew how to do it and was ready to start his next move.

William moved back to his room, to find everything there looking the same. He checked and found that the arrays he laid before didn't get a single damage.

"They are this patient, or did they fear on their name or what?" William knew it was the best chance to enter his room and place anything to spy on him when he was away. But to his surprise, none even tried anything.

William went out of his room to find Trevor standing out there, seemingly waiting for him for a long time already.

"Wake up! It's embarrassing for you to sleep while standing like this!" William knocked this dude awake using a kick. Trevor was standing, with his back towards the wall of William's room, but he also closed his eyes.

And he was snoring, loudly snoring.
