Chapter 776 A Battle



The two groups of masters were deeply absorbed in fighting each other and didn't actually speak much. He kept listening, hoping to learn something about their origins, or what caused this clash to begin with.

He had to wait for another fifteen minutes until half of the red masters fell and the other half wasn't looking any better. During his watch, he learnt their approximate level of power.

"They look to be at silver and gold grades only," William knew he could take them down without a problem. As for the monsters, they were at most gold grade as well.

Yet he didn't hurry to move until he'd make sure of which side these humans belonged to.

"Stop it, Angelica, you won't be able to survive this."

And just when close to twenty red masters remained, the black ones surrounded them with half of their numbers, while the other half went to stop the monsters. One of these black coated ones slowly approached the red masters, seemingly speaking to a lady with long and thick orange hair.

"Stop bullshitting me, Edward! You know quite well that I prefer to kill myself than end up with someone like you!"

"So, it's a cliche marriage conflict, tsk," William hoped for me, yet what he heard made him quite disappointed. He could tell that Edward was a ruthless man, wanting to force Angelica to marry him even to the extent of chasing her all the way there.

But he wasn't a man who was responsible to spread justice and order in the world. He simply remained in his place, and considered if he should interact with Edward or leave and look for a better person to deal with.

"What's wrong with me? You do know that tons of girls are lining up to get my blessing!"

"Stop this bullshit! I won't marry someone belonging to the dark side!"

"We rule the world, what's the point in continuing the resistance? As if you have any hidden ally or someone strong enough to stop us! This world, with everything inside, belongs to us!"

"She got me!"

Just when Edward was blabbering and showing off, William suddenly perked up, activated his fox spirit again, and didn't stay at his place for a single second.

The moment he heard what Edward boasted about, declaring his identity as part of the dark masters, William didn't need to hear anymore.

"You... What the hell are you?!!"

William already saw all of their tricks and techniques and knew the scope of their strength and abilities. They didn't activate their spirit bodies at all, which was something a bit weird, something that weakened them in William's eyes.

So, when William spoke and appeared like this, he didn't just startle everyone, but gave them a scare. Their reaction wasn't any less than what Park and his people showed when they saw William for the first time.

William didn't care about any of that. He was mentally prepared for such a reaction and aimed for it to be honest. The moment he said these words and announced his presence, he dashed downwards, crossing the hill in a few jumps, before arriving at the enemies.

William would be considered rational with anyone, anyone except those filthy dark masters. When he reached them, he didn't hold back and used his technique at once.

The weapons held by his three tails worked and killed the dark masters on Edward's side. William decided to leave Edward alive for now, to let this lady and his friends have their revenge against him.

"Gather up! A weird enemy is attacking us! Damn! He must have come from the dead zone area... Attack!" As William started his killing spree, Edward shouted on the top of his lungs while starting to run for his life. But William would never allow him to have it his way.

The latter dashed forward, stacking up his attacks one on top of another, crossing hundreds of metres with each move, until he finally arrived in front of Edward, blocking his way forward.

"Scram!" Edward shouted in rage, but William could see clearly the fear in his eyes. Edward was holding two long and curved swords, with serrated edges that made them look like saws and not swords. He gathered up spirit power in one big ball, black in colour, and moved the two swords through it, ending up coating the two with dangerous looking black gas.

William saw him use such an attack before, one that was strong enough to take down lots of monsters and masters alike. Yet when the two swords landed over William, the latter vanished, circling around that dark master for three times, before landing a kick on his belly.

The kick wasn't infused with much spirit power, but it was violent enough to send Edward back flying, crossing the same distance he just ran and even more. He landed and rolled on the ground, coughing up blood while stopping just a few metres away from Angelica.

"He is all yours," William casually said, as if he was a death god spreading out his sentence and edict, "as for the rest, they are mine."

He didn't stop even when he kicked Edward, as he landed that hit while taking a pause between two dashes. He stacked around twenty attacks when he arrived at the group of dark masters coming from the direction of monsters. And with his hit, a grand explosion appeared.

A big hole came as a result, alongside a massive ball of fire that spread for tens of metres in the air, spreading to cover hundreds of metres around.

Most of the dark masters fell to this single and scary attack, alongside lots of monsters chasing after them. All of sudden, the entire battlefield froze, even monsters paused in their tracks, all looking at one spot: William's direction.

The latter didn't stop like them and kept moving around, storing more attacks. He looked as an asura, a deadly fighter who was born in the heat of ferocious battlefields.
