Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 1217: Weird Space Element

William was planning to teach her a mobility-based technique, something to help her evade any incoming attack. During the past battles, she was always struggling with incoming attacks, and had to stay on the side of others to get safe.

"Not a bad idea," yet when he thought back to how poorly she did against stronger enemies, he decided to teach her this, "but this technique won't show its real value before heading into the gold grade…"

"Pft, as if I didn't get there before," she confidently said, before laughing out of her excitement, "teach it to me, teach it to me…" she held his arm and kept swinging it right and left, making him unable to control his laughs anymore.

"Alright, memorise the incantations first…" he started to teach her the technique, while his mind was diverted towards something different.

All this time he had to use either old techniques that were commonly used for other masters, or the Holy Sword one that he developed a long time ago.

Despite that technique being like a real killer in any battle, it still had its limitations. Before he was limited by his spirit power grade, but now he could safely devise something new to make up for the shortcomings of the Holy Sword.

"Holy Sword technique is good against a single or few enemies, but against a large group of them or an army, it always tied up my hands…" After teaching Angelica the technique, he left her to have fun while going over a corner and started to contemplate over this issue.

What he had in mind was to invent something that could be used against a large number of enemies. He was sure the explosive power of this technique would pale in comparison to what the Holy Sword technique provided. But he needed to have such a technique.

The Holy Sword wasn't just lacking against a large number of enemies, but it also required a time to charge up and show its real might. On many occasions, he had to struggle hard to do this. And so, he decided to not go for such a way while inventing this new technique.

"I got a new piece added to my spirit, and that means I can use the same ability of that monster…" William stood in his place motionless, contemplating what he should do. At the same time, Angelica started to train over the new technique he taught her, and she looked very excited about doing that.

William smiled when he spotted her in such a mood, and then he returned to his thoughts. "I can feel the element added to my spirit is related to space, but it's not purely a space element…" he took out a crystal and inspected his spirit. Even if he knew a lot about the monster he fought and killed, he still wasn't fully clear about its spirit or elements.

That made him curious to see how the new element he gained would be. But the crystal test wasn't conclusive for him. He could see the unique nature of the space element in there, but it still gave him the feeling there was something extra to it.

"Space element can be helpful in creating sealed spaces, and also boosts one's speed. It can allow me to move faster, even create spots where I can jump in between during any battle… But neither of these were similar to how that monster fought…"

William tried to find similarities between the space element and the monster's way of fighting. The monster used to move fast, and it was floating in midair most of the time. But that wasn't even close to what a space element could do.

"Aside from the weird space element, there is the heaven defying spirit power consumption ability… It seems to be a form of a decaying element, but strictly for spirit power… It is an evolution!"

William's eyes shone brightly when his thoughts reached this point. He saw the decaying element particles inside the crystal, but they were the same as space elements. There was something different about it!

As he knew precisely how the spirit power decaying ability worked, he was able to jump to this conclusion. "This monster had two evolved elements, new and unique, amazing!"

It was now clear to him why the space element felt different. "I can't just depend on a spirit power decaying ability… Even if it can bring trouble to a large number of enemies, it must work for a period of time before killing or severely weakening them…"

He knew how troublesome that ability was, but at the same time he didn't want to develop a technique that would require much time to give results. So, he knew if he wanted to do something extraordinary here, he needed to unveil the mystery over the evolved space element first.

"Let me try a basic space technique then…" to test the space element he got, he needed to put it to the test. And without wasting much time, he started to execute a basic form of a space bubble technique, one that could isolate an area off the world, cutting off sounds.

It was a weak technique, which he could easily develop to make it able to cut even spirit power from outside, either use it to defend himself or trap an enemy inside.

The technique was supposed to create a semi-transparent bubble, covering an area of ten metres around him, without any extra. But the moment he used the technique, something else happened.

"Oh, is that how it evolved? Amazing!" William experienced different things at the same time, but the most impactful change was related to the technique itself.

Instead of creating a ten metres bubble, the bubble came smaller, only covering three metres. At first William thought he executed it wrong or something, but then out of the bubble, a weird smoke came out, one that was weirdly similar to the black cloud that covered that monster from before.
