Chapter 982 The Master From The Outer World
"I must be absorbing the spirit power from that monster then… Better to focus on training then," he thought this was the case, and returned to focus solely on his training techniques, with the spirit power absorption technique running as well.
It was hard to run two training techniques at the same time, and yet he tried his best to run both together. When he failed, he had to run one for a few minutes, then alternate it with the other technique.
As time passed slowly, he was positive he was absorbing spirit power from that monster. Yet when the world got cleared, all he could see was nothing at all in front of him. His hand was touching thin air, and there was no trace of that bear.
"Don't tell me I vaporised it!!!" he blinked, looked at his body, and saw nothing wrong there. But when he looked at his two monstrous weapons, seeing them turn into two scraps and useless pieces of metal and ores, he knew he wasn't dreaming.
He lived through the brutal attack from two grand techniques from such a close distance, and he didn't know why.
*Roar!*
Just as he was in the middle of his puzzlement, he heard a muffled and low-tone roar coming from behind. When he looked, he found that bear monster standing on top of the shield, falling on its legs, as if it couldn't control its body anymore.
"You were trying to run back into the shield? Sorry pal, you tried to sneakily attack me, and this is just the fair price to pay," William didn't care about why he remained alive in the end and simply embraced the fact that he didn't die. He stood up slowly, gathered up his ruined monstrous weapons, and stored their pieces inside his rings, before turning towards that extremely exhausted and terribly wounded monster.
"Don't resist, you are going to grant all of us a big helping hand," William then walked towards that monster slowly, step by step. He was about to take out everyone's Bullets, to let them know he was alive and everything was fine. And yet just before he'd take even a single one out, he felt something like a cold shiver down his spine.
"What do you think you are doing to my pet?!" The next instant, he heard an alien voice in his mind. The voice wasn't loud, but it carried its own majesty and pressure, making it bell in his ears like a violent thunder strike.
"You are the one who let it do this? Why?!" William turned around, and looked at the sky before adding, "It was going to kill me, kill my friends, and it's just fair to kill it!"
William was feeling true terror at this moment. He knew the one speaking belonged to the outer world. And it felt like he wasn't just a normal master out there.
Just his presence was enough to drive shivers to his body. And yet that didn't let him show a single sign of weakness or fear.
"You are indeed someone from such low and trash realms, now knowing you are speaking to a god, not even realising you are close to your death!" The master from the outer world seemed to feel sorry about William's attitude, and the latter couldn't help but gather up his courage and snort.
"You act like you can do whatever you want here, and both of us know this isn't true… I'm not afraid of you!"
"But your body is telling me something different, you are shaking out of fear, so why not admit your mistake and leave my pet alone?"
"No way!" William would accept anything else but this. He spent all this time and effort, with everyone with him sacrificing a lot to just get this monster. And that master simply wanted him to walk away and leave it? Without even promising anything in return?
"How about this then… Why not walk away and live?" the master from the outer world seemed to lean towards violence and threats to scare William away. Yet the latter never budged an inch. Instead, William responded while walking towards that monster.
"You didn't introduce yourself," William said while trying to buy himself enough time before Sloth and other strong masters would pop out from the tunnels.
"Someone living in such a trash world doesn't have the right to know a god like me…"
"You aren't a god, you are just a master from that realm," William slowly shook his head, while not stopping his feet for even one second, "why not drop the act then? This monster is already on the verge of dying. It's evil, and I have to put it to rest."
"You won't do it," the master shouted, seemingly quite enraged and surprised by William's precise predictions and guesses, "I won't let you do it!"
"Then come down here and try to stop me," William shrugged, casually saying it as if he could handle this master.
As he said his piece, Sloth and others finally emerged from the tunnels. The moment they came up there, they all felt the same fear and cold shivers as William.
"I see, so that's why you have such confidence in talking back to me… Do you think these flies can really stop me? Hahahaha, that's hilarious, hahahaha!"
"Come here and bring everyone else," William ignored the master from the outer world, controlled his fear, and tried to stop his body from shaking, but couldn't, "let's get it done with this bear before leaving."
"You… Keep your hands off my pet!" The moment William said these words, he flashed and dashed toward the monster. The monster was on its last dying breaths, and it couldn't even lift its head to look at the sky or at the incoming human who did all this to it.
"It's already ruined and won't be able to take that step," William said when he arrived just next to that monster, "why not you go and find another pet somewhere else and let us kill this one?"
