Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 1177: Going To The Underground City

"These gates are like giant formations, so it needs a big part of its foundation to get ruined… If someone was doing it, then others would have detected him already…"

Yet such a scenario didn't make sense. The underground city was filled to the brim with masters from different forces. Even if someone tried to hide his actions using a concealment array, this would take him forever to undermine enough foundations of that gate, ending up for it to act this way.

"The only logical possibility is for the gate to lose its source of power… This will explain everything…" he reached this conclusion after two hours of deeply thinking about that.

For the gate to work, it needed to absorb power from the world, and also from materials buried in its foundation. If these materials got exhausted, then the gate would malfunction, and such weird happenings would occur.

"It's time to check on Lara," after reaching such a conclusion, he felt a little at ease. He knew the gate was made by people from the outside world. And that meant to repair it, he needed materials coming from that world.

That wasn't an issue, especially after all the surge of the incoming materials here. He just needed to study the gate, see what materials were used, and then assemble them or something similar from the drops the city was gathering for so long.

As he decided on a plan, he started to spread out his spirit, examining the entire city in a calm mind and spirit. The city did indeed grow to be something similar to a kingdom's capital. Be it in terms of land size, the diversity of buildings, and the endless stream of people living here, it wasn't lacking in anything to be called a capital.

People here seemed to grow used to the life of peace and safety. They were happily laughing, walking around and not even paying attention to the walls or anything. There weren't any patrol units inside the city, only a few individuals would show up if a problem happened like a fight or something.

But overall, the city looked as if it was living in another time and place than the rest of the world. And William was quite satisfied with such developments.

"Are you sure you don't need any help?" Lara was standing with William in front of the door leading to the underground city.

She already called back everyone from there, and yet she didn't like the idea of William going inside alone.

"I'll be fine," yet William still rejected, before passing through the door and closed it behind him, "don't send anyone in, or else they'll all die," he added this last warning just before closing the door.

"Tsk," and Lara knew he saw through her intentions, "as if I'm going to believe high end masters won't survive inside and protect you," but she didn't listen to his warning the same as he rejected her offer to help.

As she went to find a group to enter and keep an eye over him, William stood in front of the platform on top of the long stairs, overlooking the entire underground city.

"It didn't change that much," he muttered to himself while watching the demolished buildings and ruins filling his whole eyesight for kilometres around.

The place was silent and calm, without any trace of any monster. And yet he knew the moment he'd step on the ground; he'd get hunted by hordes of monsters.

"I'm not here to play with them," he waved his hand, and the remaining two monstrous weapons appeared, "go, test monsters out."

He controlled them using his spirit sense, and that meant he could now control them for tens of kilometres of range.

The moment he thought about it, they moved at once. As they reached the ground, they got welcomed by hordes of monsters.

William wasn't interested in monsters, and he knew it was impossible to try and get rid of these. But he knew they were feeding over the energy released from the gate.

If the gate got weakened thanks to the lack of power, then these monsters would show a change. That was why he stood up there and watched, while his monstrous weapons kept fighting against many monsters, and attracting much more towards here.

He closely watched the monsters fight against his two monstrous weapons. And in half an hour, he reached a conclusion.

"They are weakened indeed… Something is wrong with my precious baby…" he shifted his eyes away from the ongoing battle and looked at the direction of his well-hidden gaps.

He created holes leading to the deeply embedded gate before. And then he covered these so no one would find them. "I have to go and check it then…" he looked at the ongoing battle, controlling his two weapons to lure the monsters away from here.

Once he reached the nearest hole, he removed the rocks and dirt he placed there. "Luckily it's near the stairs," he muttered while removing the rocks and creating a small gap for him to pass through.

He didn't want to remove the rocks entirely, or else he'd take much longer to cover it up. As his earlier assumptions were correct, then he knew he had to go and check on various places. And he didn't want to delay himself by covering up the holes.

As for monsters, he knew these bulb monsters could pass through the ground. So it didn't matter to them if there was a hole or not.

The moment he cleared enough space for him, he didn't hesitate and took out his weapons. He had just a small distance tunnel for ten metres, then there was the bottom of this hole.

He moved his flying weapons, and dashed directly through the hole, barging directly towards the end of it, worked his weapons and flying weapons, used his technique, and exploded the wall of rocks blocking his path deeper.

The moment he hit that ground, he crushed it and found himself pushing forward fast.
