Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master



Instead, this one looked as if it was a star, with many needle-like extensions coming out from a diamond shaped central body. It was blue and white, with faint red spiky needles coming out from it. William looked in puzzlement towards this, before storing it away and turning towards the hole that was left behind by this monster.

"At least every single water body is a separate monster," William knew this was something good, despite not knowing what this thing he got was. He examined the hole left behind, and this time it didn't turn into ice as usual.

"Fire in the hole," he shouted as he threw a grenade towards the hole, before starting to dash again and store more attacks over his tails and weapons.

During the next few hours, he kept turning more water bodies into ice, amassing lots of spiky cores as he decided to call them. They all looked the same, with slightly different sizes and fine changes in the intensity of their colours.

He didn't have time to check what these things were as more water bodies came and appeared. The holes left behind by the dead monsters were like open gateways, letting lots of water bodies appear through them without the need for him to use any explosive arrows or grenades.

The grenade he threw at the first hole exploded but did nothing. It passed through the water surface and sank deeply there before exploding, causing just more cracks to appear, expanding the hole to look like a small shore or something.

He didn't repeat what he did before as through that big hole, tens of water bodies kept rising from time to time. The more he killed these monsters, the more that appeared next.

He noticed that monsters needed a few minutes at first to appear, then they started to take longer, ending up taking half an hour to appear.

That meant it was either the number of monsters in this area were getting smaller, and he didn't believe that. Or the monsters took longer to move from distant regions to come here.

Angelica was shocked by what William was doing. She didn't get what these spiky items left behind by the monsters meant. Yet it was obvious what was happening. She knew William was killing these monsters, doing the impossible again.

Even when she saw him take down lots of monsters like this, she knew she couldn't replicate any of what he was doing. She kept herself away from all this, only watching and cheering from the side.

William was consuming spirit power like crazy, yet he didn't care. He felt these spiky cores to be something quite special and valuable, something that he never saw before, not even in the outer world.

He was confident that these monsters were in different grades of power, and he was just lucky so far to not meet something that he couldn't handle, something strong enough to threaten his life.

If he continued down this way, he'd end up meeting such scary folks at one point. Even if he knew this, he didn't stop or slow down what he was doing. He wanted to kill as many monsters as he could, collect more spiky cores, before the big shots would pop up.

As he expected, the scary monsters appeared after close to twelve hours. He already killed tons of monsters, ending up leaving lots of holes behind, and hills of ice that were left behind by the dead monsters.

"This is new," when the fiercest monsters appeared, they didn't appear solo or in the same way other water body monsters did. First, they appeared in groups, coming out from large holes that each were at least ten times the normal holes.

It felt like they broke directly through the ice, forming wider holes with lots of other normal and weaker monsters appearing with them as if they brought an army with them, or some sort of their royal guards.

The size of each strong monster was many times the size of normal water monsters. And the colour of their bodies wasn't blue, but pure red.

William even saw thin silver lines running all over their bodies, giving them a scary look and formidable appearance.

These ones got eyes, and a slit like mouths. They looked a bit humanoid, roaring the moment they appeared on the surface.

"Time to leave," William knew he wouldn't be a match to all these monsters. If there were few of them, then he'd try out his luck and get much higher-grade spiky cores. But there were tens of them, surrounding him from all directions.

He knew if he delayed his leave, he'd get strangled here and would suffer a lot. So, the moment they appeared, he turned around, stopped what he was doing, even leaving behind a half away from the dead water monster, and made a run for his life.

"Run!" William shouted at Angelica, and the latter felt his intense the current situation was.

"Shouldn't we walk?"

"No time for that! The big shots are already here, and they'll hunt us down no matter what!"

As William expected, the moment he started running, these scary monsters began to chase after him. The ice didn't look as if it was holding them down, and they simply crashed their way through ice as if they were swimming in water or something.

They kept chasing William around, and the latter tried to run away from Angelica, yet they also chased her. So, he had to carry her using one of his tails, while he used his bow and arrows to release torrent of explosions behind.

Unlike the normal monsters, it felt like fire wasn't enough to cause any harm at all to these stronger monsters. William didn't stop his arrows, aiming to slow down the army of normal monsters at least using fire.

After a few hours of this hectic chase, William noticed other land monsters being hunted and killed by new stronger monsters.
