Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 1218: Inventing A New Technique

In mere seconds, the bubble got covered entirely by a large cloud of black smoke, which extended beyond thirty metres. William stood in the heart of it, looking at the bubble that got masked by the black cloud, and then something new appeared.

"Lightning?!" He was surprised to see thin lines of lightning dancing through the black cloud. It didn't make sense at first, as he didn't stir his lightning element while using the space bubble technique. And before he could get a clue of what happened, bright flashes of light dots appeared and vanished quite fast, as if someone was throwing sparkles and shiny particles over the cloud.

"It's not just light and lightning…" This kept happening and going on without any clear rhythm or rule. But when he closely examined it, he could tell there was another element in play; the Darkness element!

Every time lightning arcs or light dots appeared, a swarm of darkness followed, covering these up. What made it weird for him to not notice it first was the fact that this darkness came from the black cloud itself. And that gave him an idea of what was going on here.

"It's like… The evolution in the space element made some sort of connection between my three elements… But why these three in particular?"

William was puzzled about this, and yet he didn't focus too much over it. What he was more interested about was confirming his theory, seeing how he could implement it better.

What he didn't realise was that he guessed things partially right. The evolution in the space element allowed him to forge a connection with the darkness element, but not the other two.

The monster was able to use the evolved space element thanks to the darkness element. But as William was different, having two opposing elements as well in his spirit, the link stirred the light and lightning elements as well.

That was the reason behind the appearance of the light dots and the lightning arcs, and also the reason why these two didn't last for long, got killed fast by the darkness element.

As he threw the explanation that he couldn't get behind him, William started to think back. He recalled his bloody battle against that monster and ended up noticing a few things.

"The fog is similar, but back then there wasn't any light or lightning… In addition to that, the fog wasn't just a mask to give a false impression, it was real, strong, and held offensive and defensive abilities…"

He was lucky he fought against that monster personally, so he got ideas about how this evolved space element worked. It wasn't just about creating a darkness-based fog around him, but it felt like the fog was solid, acting as a second body of his.

"This basic technique can't show the full abilities of this, I need a far advanced one…" he stopped using the technique and waited for the fog to slowly subside. It turned into wisps of black smoke that took a bit longer than expected to vanish.

"Interesting," seeing this made him smile regardless. It was known that the moment any master would stop his technique, the effects of the technique would instantly subside. Only if the technique was too strong, used too much spirit power, or had something unique to it, then the time would be elongated.

The first thing he did was to check his spirit power, and as he expected, it didn't get consumed to any abnormal degree. "That means the evolution in the space element is so terrifying," he grinned while feeling he got blessed with this spirit.

"I know lots of space techniques, but mostly are used either for defence, training, or entrapping enemies. I need an offensive technique, one that could impact a large number of enemies at one go…"

William stood in his place thinking about this dilemma. The techniques he knew of weren't that suitable for his needs, and the offensive natured ones weren't that strong nor could work over a wide area.

"I have to invest in something new," this wasn't the first time he'd do something like this. And with his rich experience, coming up with his new technique didn't take longer than a single day.

During which, he kept testing his theories. The first thing he tried to do was to use the light and lightning elements alongside darkness in that technique, and he miserably failed.

Every time he tried to do so, the entire technique crashed, and he couldn't sustain it. In the end, he decided to go for using darkness alone, and through this he noticed the frequent short-lived activation of the light and lightning elements.

Starting from there, he began to better finalise his technique. His main inspiration came from two things actually, first to use the evolved space, and second was to implement the evolved decay elements.

After many trials, edits, and failures, he finally managed to get the technique ready.

*Boom!*

"What just happened? Why am I outside? What did you do?!!" The moment he reached the final form of the technique, his experiment ended up with exploding the training unique experience he and Angelica had.

It was expected, after all, that the new technique he developed was quite brutal and explosive. It covered up a huge area in mere seconds, and that shattered the magical effects the shadows created for him and Angelica.

The latter didn't like that. She was acting like a little girl, wanting to return back into that awesome experience, train on her new technique and also train to raise her spirit power.

"You have to train alone from now on," William didn't get moved under her constant begging. He was sure he didn't perfect the technique even if he invented it. He felt there was still huge room for progress, but doing this while training with her wasn't quite right.

"But…"

"This place is going to host the training of everyone in the team," William interrupted her, moving his eyes around, "you can stay here and train for as long as you need…"
