Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"Let's do it then," the headmaster was more eager to break that array down and see what William was doing to bring such damage to his garden.

He also felt slightly enraged from William's actions. The latter used his ignorance and got much more materials than what he needed.

If not for all of these materials to be quite common, the headmaster would have considered punishing this daring kid.

Yet even with using just ten percent of materials, the array proved to be challenging. However, they could feel how much weaker this array became after using such a small number of materials than before.

They spent many hours of the night trying to break that array. During that time, William stood on the edge of that deep pit, considering how he should execute the second move.

The second move depended on his darkness element. Out of the three elements he got, this one he knew lots about.

After all, his deadliest enemy had such an element. So, he studied it thoroughly to know what abilities such an enemy would have and how to counter them.

"Darkness is silent, deadly, and quite an overbearing element…" William recalled the knowledge he knew about such element from his past life.

"There are tons of ways to use the darkness element in different attacks… But thanks to its overbearing nature, it's quite hard to combine it with any special element," he knew that his enemy couldn't merge such element before with others, even like ice or lava elements, thanks to its domineering nature.

Darkness got something that was known as an annihilation like ability. If it met up with an element it couldn't control, it'd tend to wipe it out.

"It's either to be the dominant element in any technique, or wipe other elements out… Quite a troublesome element indeed…"

Despite that, William didn't think too much of this for now. He first needed to learn how to execute this move before worrying about anything else.

As for merging darkness with light and lightning, William hoped this would work. After all these two elements were considered nemesis of the darkness element, and his former enemy didn't dare to try any of these two elements out per his knowledge. As there were no records about failure of such attempts, hope still existed for him to succeed.

"The part I needed is the stacking ability of the Silent Moon technique… It's just like what the light ability showed…"

As he got experience from last night about how such a method worked, he expected what was going to happen.

He took out his sword and started to move it in crescentic shaped moves.

To activate the Silent Moon technique, he needed to blend with darkness first and move fast while waving his sword in full circles like a full moon.

Yet he didn't do this. He simply stood in his place motionless and tried to just move his sword around.

"It's not working…" After trying for a few times, he failed to trigger the darkness element inside his spirit or the technique, "it seems I need to move or blend with darkness…"

These were the two options he had. He first tried to move in fast steps. Trying to blend with darkness was the last option he didn't want to use for different reasons.

When he moved fast, he felt something getting triggered in his spirit. The darkness element got stirred up, and without his control his body started to feel the darkness around, blending with it.

"Damn!" When that happened, each wave of his sword managed to stack up. He didn't dare to stack more than five before finally releasing the attack.

*Boom!*

A violent explosive attack erupted. But it wasn't that similar to the attack he brought up with his light and lightning combined attack from yesterday.

"The two are quite overbearing," as he executed this attack, his spirit power got depleted again. He grew used to such a thing already and muttered to himself while sitting on the ground to replenish his lost power.

"The combined technique from yesterday had a very explosive nature, one that's enough to affect the area around the place of the strike. However, …"

He was lost in thought, recalling what happened when he executed his darkness based move.

"The darkness element made the attack quite precise and conserved most of its strength in the strike itself…" he recalled the deep hole he created with his sword, the one that extended for many metres deep down.

Few cracks appeared around that hole, but it didn't expand outwards and collapsed the ground like what the last night combined technique did.

"It really suits assassins and dark spirit masters… Tsk!" He knew how scary such an attack was. It didn't aim towards creating a fuss like the combined attack did. But it did release a single attack that was able to threaten the life of gold spirit masters even.

He couldn't tell how deadly such an attack was. He first needed someone to fight against to test this attack. Just judging from his feelings when he executed this strike and the narrow hole that was left behind wasn't enough.

"At least I managed to execute it…" he took a deep breath, stood up after one hour of rest and recuperation. "But it's not enough! I consumed most of my spirit power while stacking five slashes only. I have to lower that number and cut it by half first…"

He recalled his last night experience when he tried to lower the number of stored slashes while using his light based move.

He failed to trigger the attack when he used less than five slashes. "And what about this merge with the darkness around? Is it compulsory for the technique to get executed? But it got triggered on its own…"

He was careful to not pull such a move back then. However, his body moved on its own and merged with darkness.

He didn't have any control on that, and it felt like he was doing it naturally like breathing or eating. Its appearance was surprising for him, and he wasn't prepared and missed many details when that happened.
