Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 1182: A Weird Hole

Fang looked closely at that spot, but couldn't find any other traces of battle aside from that hole. In fact, he found the traces of the battle left by William to grow the most around that hole.

It felt as if William made a last stand there, and that didn't make any sense to him. He knew these monsters came from underground. And that meant William decided to take shelter deep down, where the monsters took as their home and playground.

"He isn't an earth based master, not primarily at least," Fang watched William fight before, and he was sure he was a lightning based master like himself. And that made him more puzzled and far more curious.

As the team progressed towards that hole, Fang also moved quite close. They progressed slowly amidst the swarms of monsters coming at them, and during this William was facing up something new.

As his friends were trying to find him, William started to notice something new. The first thing he noticed was the pulses that flashed between pyramids to show a slow and progressive change.

Instead of moving in between pyramids augmented by his arrays, they slowly started to send pulses elsewhere. At first, it came as one pulse every ten minutes or so. Then slowly, he noticed the pulses as they started to happen once per couple minutes.

The first time he noticed this he mistook this to be sent to another group of pyramids. His first guess was that as there was a link between pyramids in certain groups, there must be a similar connection between different groups.

But when he closely monitored this, he started to notice something different. "They are all converging in the same direction… Right there!"

He noticed after an hour of monitoring this that these pulses were all heading from different groups, heading towards a certain direction. When he realised this, he started to look for where these pulses were heading. and there he found a surprise waiting for him.

"This… A hole? In here?!" he was surprised by this. The presence of the hole he found, one that spanned for tens of metres, wasn't a surprise as much as his inability to see it before using his spirit sense.

It didn't make any sense to him. He was sure he covered this spot before using his spirit sense, and yet he missed it. "Something smells fishy here," he muttered to himself, while getting all vigilant about this hole.

The hole wasn't just wide, it was deep. He couldn't get any view of its bottom, all he could see was blackness. He stood just a few metres off the edge, while a serious look was on his face.

"Something must have been down there, the portal didn't malfunction on its own as I suspected…" he started to deal with this whole presence with the most ominous possibility ever.

The moment this thought flashed through his mind, he summoned back all of his monstrous weapons. The twenty-two giant monster-like bodies appeared around him, forming an army.

"Charley, go down there and see what's hiding," Charley was his first creation, and yet after all this time, and even after he rebuilt and repaired it many times, it wasn't on par with the ones he recently made.

William watched his monstrous weapon descend slowly and cautiously. As there was a connection with Charley, he could see everything.

The first few moments, nothing happened. The hole was looking like a normal gap in the ground, with nothing but touch rocks. Yet soon enough, William could see something weird.

The hole was quite deep, and the deeper Charley went, the more William felt like something was interfering with his connection with Charley. "It's consuming my spirit power at an alarming rate… Interesting…" he muttered the moment he spotted the issue.

Using spirit sense never consumed much spirit power. Yet this time, it felt like he was in a battle, using his techniques non-stop.

He felt weird about the intervention with his connection with Charley, especially when he got the intuition that this wasn't caused by something at the hole, but from something in him. So the first thing he checked out of habit was his spirit power. And there he found it rapidly getting consumed.

"Using elixirs won't do, it seems I need to use that array…" he didn't hesitate to gulp a few bottles of elixirs when he noticed this. But they didn't help much as his spirit power kept getting consumed.

So he instantly gave the order, and his twenty-one monstrous weapons built arrays around him. One array wouldn't work fast to solve this problem, wouldn't be fast enough to work and supplement enough spirit power.

Yet with twenty-one arrays built on top of each other, this stopped to be a problem. He started to absorb spirit power madly, and the more time passed, more spirit power gushed into his body.

Yet it felt like he was dealing with a black hole here. The increasing spirit power entering his body didn't help but to stabilise his spirit power level at forty percent.

"This hole… What the hell lives down there…" After a stressful twenty minutes, he still couldn't see a glimpse of what was down there. The deeper parts of the hole were all dark, and spirit power consumption was reaching scary and terrifying levels right now.

Yet he never ordered Charlie to come back. He felt he was so close to touching the truth about this hole. Not to mention any idea of repairing the portal wouldn't work as long as this hole and what laid within persisted to be here.

As he expected, in the next ten minutes, his monstrous weapon finally reached the bottom. He couldn't feel what Charley was feeling right now, couldn't tell if Charley landed on flat ground or over something.

The area there was pitch black, with not a speck of light. "Let there be light," yet that wasn't a problem. Charley was a weapon that could use all his elements and techniques.
