Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 1054 The Devour Ability

?

"This… Are you telling me I'm the one who did this to him?" Panther was totally shocked by that. But with Anjie's firm answer to confirm his doubts, he couldn't help but try to accept all this.

"But it's weird," as she looked at William, she couldn't help but feel odd, "this… This isn't anything like any backlash we suffered before…"

"You also can do it!!" Sloth was as shocked as everyone else, and she nodded.

"He has a way to let us go there with him," she paused, not knowing if she had to continue spilling more beans or not. But she decided to stop here, "I suffered a backlash once with him, and that wasn't anything like this."

"What's different?" Panther knew he was about to learn something unexpectedly huge after all this would be over. He couldn't help but recall William's desire to recruit him before, and he didn't accept that offer back then.

Yet now, he deeply regretted not taking the offer. He never expected there was such a thing, a world where any master could see the past, present, and future of anyone or anything.

That would be like a god mode for his time element and techniques… Something that would be considered totally priceless for someone like him.

Unlike others who were either worried, confused, or scared, Panther was getting overly excited the more he thought about what Anjie just said.

"Back then, we all felt weak, weak like we exhausted ourselves in a very long battle or something. But this… It looks as if something is trying to invade him, eat him away, or something… It's weird…"

"Hmm… If that is true…" they just suffered another wave and ended up the same as before, "then this thing is related to you… You must be aware of it…"

Sloth turned to Panther, and the latter couldn't help but get confused. He didn't recognise any of this, and that black thing didn't ring any bells at all.

"Come on, you need to think of something…" Anjie was feeling more panic, as that black sphere was resuming its descent. It went without saying much that William was struggling, and she couldn't stand to watch it anymore.

"He went there to see what happened to you when you got that foresight of yours… Can't you remember anything about that day? Anything suspicious at all?" Sloth tried to help Panther remember, remember anything that'd help.

"Everything about that vision is suspicious! That day is like a blur to me, my memories didn't have any clue about what truly happened there except for having that vision out of nowhere…"

Just as he was in the middle of his words, a loud roar from William silenced him and everyone else.

William wasn't losing the fight as they all thought. In fact, the moment he started training, summoned his spirits, and that talkative golden star spirit started to talk again, or scream in panic in fact.

"Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! We are screwed! We are done for! The Black Phantom Reaper is here, the Black Death Reaper is here, damn! Damn! What brought a boogeyman to such a weak master's path? Damn!"

"Shut up!" William shouted to silence that spirit, "Do you know what the f*ck is going on here? What is that black thing?"

"It's death! Death! Can't you get it…"

"I said shut the hell up and stop saying such meaningless words! Screaming won't save your as*! Just tell me what the heck is this thing, how to stop it!"

"It's the Black Phantom Reaper, a spirit that no one can stand against, no one, literally no one! We are… Screwed!!!"

"Just stop whining and give me something solid to work on," William grew impatient and frustrated from this spirit, "Just tell me everything and trust me on this…"

"I said, just said, he can't be stopped by any spirit!"

"I'm not a spirit, idiot! What the heck did they feed you back when you were a kid? Microphones and shitty food or what?!!!"

"Stop insulting me! I'm a far superior being to you, a god!"

"You are nothing but a shitty and bitter loser! Just get a better hold on yourself and tell me everything about that damn spirit!"

"Fine, let's see you deal with it then…"

The golden star spirit started to speak at last about that black spirit it was scared shitless from. When William heard enough, he understood why this spirit was this domineering and scary.

"So… in a way, it's just like me and that fox's Devour ability…" From what he learnt about it, this spirit could devour any spirit and consume them to level up its power.

It killed endless spirits, acting as a solo hunter, without any friends, with everyone else as a foe. And yet no spirit managed to kill it or harm it. Every single counter with such a scary spirit ended up with the death of its prey.

William got the Devour ability, and he knew more about it than anyone else, than any spirit. When he heard about this, the first thing he looked at was that black sphere surrounding his spirits and himself.

It was apparent this was something similar to his blood. "If it's my blood, then it means it's connected to it… and that means I can devour it, right?" A crazy idea popped into his mind while feeling there was a great chance in front of him.

Devouring was always a thing that belonged to his enemy, not to himself. And so he never got enough details or control over it. He couldn't level it up, and didn't have any spirit or spirit element related solely to this ability.

And so, he never was able to push it further beyond the stage he acquired it at. That also made it quite useless at such later stages here.

Facing an enemy who could use the same ability? A spirit on top of that? It was something great for him.
