Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 1205: Burning Spirit Life Essence

"Get ready," the golden spirit was at its limit already, "I'm going to stop supporting the formation in five, four…"

Once he reached zero, William could feel the formation around getting cracked and ruined on its own. It was like the time when the materials would get exhausted back in the real world. And that meant he lost the aid of such a formidable formation.

The next thing that happened was for the golden particles to fall on the ground, looking like they were sand got attracted and pulled down by gravity. Before William would say anything or ask about how it felt right now, the golden spirit spoke first.

"Attack! Don't give them the chance to break free until I rest a little bit!"

"On it!" William noticed that even if the golden spirit was terribly exhausted, it didn't stop the screen projection, and it wouldn't stop supporting his attacks and delivering them to the outer world.

Yet the main concern of William was still related to that ox. Unlike what he and the golden spirit expected, the ox spirit didn't change its tactics or come at the shield once the lightning formation got cancelled.

Instead, it kept flashing right and left, as if it was still wary of any trap or worrying about William's barrage of attacks.

Bolts of lightning still rained down over the other three spirits. And that maintained the huge bubble of storm that surrounded the three active and supported it for long minutes.

William learnt his lesson from before, attacked three times in a row, then sat down and trained for a couple of minutes. Luckily the last formation left behind a huge storm, enough to last long enough for him to rest.

He kept attacking and resting, while focusing over the ox. For a reason, he felt like that spirit had another motive and plan, as it didn't follow their initial guess.

William couldn't tell what that ox was up to, but he was sure it was something out of their expectations. And William was right.

The golden spirit took almost an hour during its rest. William thought it'd be back on its legs again after half an hour, but it felt like the little extra work it had to do to help guide the attacks was still pressuring it.

And after one hour many things happened at the same time!

The first was for the golden spirit to suddenly cough, entering into a spree of sneezing and coughing. William paused his actions totally, looked at the direction of the golden particles, and there he spotted deeply dimmed golden specks.

William didn't need to ask to know that the golden spirit was struggling to keep itself awake and active at this moment. The pressure on it was massive, and William didn't know if it was subjected to the same type and magnitude of exhaustion like how William suffered.

And now he could tell the golden spirit was suffering the same exhaustion, yet it had to keep fighting alongside William without having much rest.

"Are you ok?" William had to ask, as without the help of that spirit, he knew his attacks would lose most of their power. They were already useless to kill these spirits, and now he was risking them losing their ability to stop the invaders.

"Give me a minute… Sh*t!" Just before the golden spirit would continue its words, something new happened. William turned and looked at the same spot that could bring anything new to the current situation, making it worse. And there he saw what made him inwardly sigh, out of worry and powerlessness.

The golden screen that showed everything happening in the outside world showed new changes. The flashing ox like a bolt of lightning, unresting and never stopping before, finally stopped. William didn't know how, but it felt like that ox had the power to watch them, see what they were doing, the same way they were watching them.

The ox stopped, with a face that showed an evil smirk, before it started to move again. This time, it didn't act like before, and didn't run around endlessly. Instead, it went towards the current storm that surrounded the other three, and directly attacked it using a very fierce and brutal attack.

William couldn't tell much from the golden screen alone, but he could see a tsunami of golden specks rising up and filling the entire screen for a few minutes.

"This is bad," the golden spirit was the first to speak up, "it's freeing the trapped spirits, this is terribly bad!"

"But… How?!!" William couldn't get any of that. The storm that got formed from all the lightning attacks he made before wasn't that weak, wasn't that easy to handle. But it felt like it was so fragile, for a single spirit to take such a mighty wave of attack down single handedly.

"He is using his special ability, the shield cracker," the golden spirit coughed again, before hurriedly adding, "we need to keep attacking, stop them and buy ourselves more time…"

"We can't do that, can't you see? We are already beyond our limits, and you can't help in such a state," William knew this was the only option they had, but the risks were too much and the odds of failure were way higher than any success.

"Just keep attacking," the golden specks that were so dim started to shine brighter, giving William a hint about what was going on here.

"Are you burning your life essence?!!"

"We are different, but I'm lending something similar to that," the golden spirit didn't give a direct answer to William, and the latter shrugged before resuming his attacks.

"It's your life you are putting on the line here," he said, while releasing a barrage of his lightning attacks.

"It's our lives that we are fighting for here," the golden spirit corrected William, "let's try to stop them, hopefully we aren't that late…"

The attacks came, landed over the chaotic storm outside, adding more chaos to it.
