Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 1178: Pyramids!

"F*ck off!" The moment he penetrated the ground, he got assaulted by tons of monsters that came from every direction towards him.

And his answer was simple, he waved his flying weapons, and started to hit all the ground using his weapons.

The deeper he went, the more monsters he met, and that made quite sense. After all, these monsters were feeding over the power of the gate, and with it getting weaker, it was normal for them to gather closer.

At some point, advancing just ten metres deep was a real challenge! He didn't call back his two monstrous weapons, as they were doing just fine by lowering the pressure off his shoulders.

"I finally got to you," the moment he felt like his tail penetrated into the air, and he knew he had reached the space that had the grand portal. The gate was deeply buried under the ground, and he was sure there was a vast space down below. And he was right.

The moment his tails penetrated the last layer of rocks, William didn't hesitate to push forward with everything he had. The moment he passed through that line, monsters that kept hunting him started to weirdly burn.

"Interesting…" William was in midair when he noticed what happened to the monsters chasing him, "this place is filled with high calibre spirit power…"

The space he fell into was at least one kilometre in height. He let his body free fall before using his technique, moved fast and changed his trajectory, hitting the ground.

Yet it wasn't a smooth landing. He left behind a long trail while his body rolled on itself for hundreds of metres.

"Ouch… I miss flying at such moments," he slowly stood up, took out a healing potion, and waited for a few minutes for his wounds and crushed organs to heal.

The space he got into was indeed quite vast. "It's spreading under the entire city, and even extended beyond…" he couldn't touch the end of this space with his spirit sense, and he was able to cover tens of kilometres now. That meant the city was just lying on a tiny part of the entire area of this gate.

"I landed close to the edge of this place…" the area he landed upon was filled with rocks and dirt. It wasn't that different from Lara's city or the underground city area. Yet there was something different here.

William saw before a few inter-world gates, and they were all looking like any formation. Yet this one was different. Instead of having lines drawn on the ground and materials buried there, he noticed the presence of small pyramid shaped structures, assigned in a grand formation.

Each pyramid was about ten metres high, five metres wide. Their outer surface was shining with red light, yet it was dimmed and felt like it was dying or something.

"These pyramids… It's the first time for me to see one of these…" William's curiosity was instantly piqued. He didn't recall anything he saw or read before close to these pyramids. And that made him realise this wasn't a simple gate as he thought before.

The first thing he jumped off to was the fact this gate was dying out of spirit power. The lights coming out from the pyramids weren't equal in intensity. Some were still shining bright, and others were dimly lit.

"Hmm… These pyramids are made out of the same type of ore… But what type is it?" He touched the pyramids around, and luckily he didn't get any backlash or any harm.

The light shone from them wasn't acting like a shield. And when he touched the pyramids, he noticed that they got different temperatures at their surfaces.

The ones shining bright were feeling a bit cold, and the ones dimly lit were warmer. "Power produces heat, why do these pyramids turn icy cold when they are filled with power?" he said these words to himself, while checking more pyramids.

He first wanted to see what type of ore these pyramids were made of. And yet he failed to identify this ore. Then he tried to find a hole or a mechanism to open these pyramids and see what was inside. But he also failed to spot anything.

"Hmm… They look as if nature formed them in such a way… No holes, no gaps, everything looks compact and a whole…" he kept analysing and thinking about these mysterious pyramids.

And then he decided to leave the question of the ore and test something else.

The first thing he did was to ingest his spirit power into one pyramid. The moment he tried to do it, he felt like his spirit power got sucked dry in a blink of an eye. If not for his swift response to stop what he was doing, he'd have fallen dead in the next few seconds.

"Damn it! These pyramids are really brutal!" He was struggling to stand up after such a setback. The spirit power he got as big enough to allow him to fight using his strongest techniques for hours! And yet it got depleted in a mere second.

Yet that didn't prevent him from trying it again. Yet this time, he came prepared. "Let's see how you'll suck my spirit power dry," he made a small array to harness the spirit power from the area, standing in the middle of it, while one pyramid was there.

The plan was to let him absorb spirit power while touching that pyramid. And yet what truly happened was for the pyramid to shine brighter, while the area inside that array started to get filled with faint white mist.

He just spent a few moments to finalise the array and activate it before entering. And the moment he did, he stood in his place motionless, closely watching all this unfolding.

"Hmm… The pyramid seems hungry for spirit power, even racing me towards it," he couldn't help but laugh when he noticed this, "but… I thought they could absorb spirit power properly… Something is wrong here…"
