Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master



William got lots of questions regarding the first design he made yet ended up not answering any. His mind was busy thinking about the right design to make the catapults show something beyond their abilities.

"If I have enough materials from the outer world, then doing this won't have been a headache… But at least this is better than nothing…"

William knew he did his best in the past five hours, thinking about a new design and finally made it. He then took a few scrolls out and copied the content there before starting to walk everyone through the designs and how to draw and make them.

He made three different designs, one for a catapult, one for a grand boat, and the last was something looking like an explosive gear or something.

William didn't have any other means but to describe everything to his friends and the leaders of different forces. Luckily, there were few who had interest in forging, and that helped a lot in saving lots of trouble for him.

[I have to admit, it's quite complicated] one of the leaders who was interested in forging said, [Are you sure we can make it?]

"Let's hope so," William paused before stressing over this point, "it's our only way out from here."

[We need to first test things out] Stark said what others thought about, [Why not use the current catapults and see? We can push one towards the safe zone and try things out]

The safe zone was a term that appeared to talk about the area before the border of the toxic zone.

"We can try it out, but something told me something bad will happen if we did that," William already thought of such a possibility. And if that monster depended entirely on the toxic area to stop them, it was possible that he laid more traps at the safe area, "don't get too near there, and just try throwing out a single person to the outside. Follow him using spirit sense, and let's hope for the best."

William and others knew if this could be done, then it'd save them lots of effort. Without the need to ask, the explosive thing was done to add more power to expel masters for a longer distance.

If they managed to cross even half of this distance and establish catapults there, then things would end up fine. But that was something that William didn't believe it'd happen.

Soon enough his worries proved right. The side which got the catapults was the one with his guild members. They sent a group of masters to guard the catapult, and a master with the wind element was supposed to try this out.

Yet just as they went halfway, something seemed to get triggered.

[Monsters!]

News spread fast among everyone in the higher up circle. William listened to the reports coming from his guild vices at first.

Then things started to grow worse when other sides also spoke about the appearance of such monsters.

According to their words, these monsters were quite weird. They looked like deformed versions of monsters, with pale skin, no eyes, huge, elongated mouths, and lots of sharp saw-like teeth. They were walking on four, with limbs that looked thin and twisted, not looking normal at all.

William heard such a description and couldn't help but have his heart skip a beat.

"Use fire! Surround the entire area with fire," William instantly shouted, "all the fire-based masters will move out, keep the fire raging and don't even let these monsters come near anyone."

[Do you know what these weird things are?] Stark was puzzled like everyone else, and William did indeed know these monsters.

"They are the Wrathers, very hard to deal with, very brutal in fighting. And more importantly, they got the ability to turn anyone they hurt into a puppet working under them for a fixed period of time. No one is immune to them, not even those at the pinnacle of power."

[This…]

"Just line our forces up, let the weakest masters be at the forefront. If the worst happens and they get controlled, we can handle them with ease at least."

William doubted before that the Nightmare monster killed tons of lives to establish that unbreakable vapour layer down below. And now he was sure of this.

These Wrathers were something that would appear at the deadliest battlefields, where tons of lives were exhausted. When using the right method, and by applying some sort of dark formations, the darkness would collect all the spirits dying in a spot, gathering them to form such deformed creatures.

They weren't living things to begin with, so they couldn't be killed. They were just a weird manifestation of the abnormality of nature, working on something that wasn't clearly understood by masters even in the outer world, even by the ones executing these weird methods.

How could anyone fight anything that couldn't be killed, wasn't alive? The only way to handle these things was by using purification methods. Fire and lava were the best, light and lightning also worked better.

As the last two elements were quite rare, and the Lava element was considered quite special as well, William asked for fire-based masters to intervene there.

[I'll lead such a force on my side] Berry was a fire-based master, a special one on top of that. In such stressful moments, and when his vices recognised the anxiety in William's actions, she decided to step in and help.

[Me too!]

[I'll lead my side!]

[I'll also do the same!]

Others started to speak up their minds, and William didn't object to such grand help. But he had to make things clear first. "It's ok to help in stopping them, but we need to focus on producing the gears I told you about as fast as possible. Again, this is our only way out from here."

Everyone now believed what he said earlier. Of course, if they tested things out, then it'd have been better. But now they had to place their faith in the success of this plan.
