Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

In the middle of all this, this old man never grew tired of using William's lightning formation. His laugh looked a bit absurd, making everyone look at him in a weird way.

"It's not luck, it was all intentional," William rolled his eyes when he heard that, "you got at least ten hours to prepare, we'll slowly grind them here, and try to buy you more time. Go, go now."

Masters paused when they heard Fang's words, but they returned to run again. They knew they had much more time than what they initially expected. And that was great news to them.

The Troll got activated, and hordes of monsters and dark masters got cleared out in batches in the next two hours. As William took his time to power up the Troll, the latter could last a bit longer, and its attacks reached far-distanced places.

Yet the enemies relentlessly came after them. In two hours, the Troll exhausted its power, and then the time for the formations inside came.

As Fang said before, he and others started to activate these formations one after another, slowly, taking two up to three hours each to activate every formation.

"We'll go out now," the king didn't wait to watch and took everyone with him to leave.

"I'll remain behind," but against what everyone thought, William decided to stay behind.

"Are you nuts?" Sloth shouted, "We'll need every help we need…"

"I need to take them out," William pointed towards the statues, "so leave now and I'll follow."

"..."

They all looked at the giant statues, knowing how hard it was to move them on one's own. They were alive, but they couldn't move. And no one knew how to move such behemoths of stone.

They offered their help to William, but the latter refused, "Just go, I know how to get them moving."

He wasn't bluffing. The moment they all went through the gate, William turned to all of the statues, "You know it's time for you to show your real self…"

"You also know about that?!!" This wasn't just a shocking comment from one of them but from many. They never expected William to know such a secret about them, one that even the Nightmare monster didn't.

"What are you talking about?" the Nightmare monster couldn't help but ask, "What secret?"

"You'll see by yourself now," William crossed his arms, "I know this will consume lots of spirit power from you, but it's not a problem. You aren't going to fight anytime soon, and you can restore these by resting for a few days, right?"

"You do know a lot about us… How?!!!" another statue asked, one of the remaining leaders of them.

"Consider me a prophet, just do it, we have little time here," William gave them a serious look, "you need a few hours to finalise that change, so start it now!"

William knew more about these Transformers than anyone else in this world. Their top weak point was their inability to move around easily, but they could move! Or else, how come they moved from the Scorching Lands city all the way to here?

The secret was simple, they could change their bodies from being colossal immovable chunks of stone into bulbs of light!

In front of the Nightmare monster, it saw these giant statues shift and change in the next few hours. The first change that happened was for the giant stone statues to melt down as if their bodies got exposed to lava or something.

Soon enough, the Nightmare monster realised it wasn't melting, but evaporating. The stones didn't fall, just turned to copious amounts of smoke that rose up, merging with thin air, leaving nothing behind.

"This…" the Nightmare monster was shocked by this. He watched them, then watched William, and couldn't help but wonder where this youngster got all this information from.

William stood up there, without showing any sign of getting surprised by any of that. Even when the hundreds of statues changed into oval-shaped bulbs of light, he didn't show any surprise on his face.

This was something he had seen before in his past life. "Let's go," William pointed at the gate, "out there, we'll find tons of enemies, and will fight a lot against them. You can't stay like this for a long time, you do know that. So you need to work and kill the enemies, absorb their spirit power to survive…"

"We can eat up humans, right?" one of the statues said, "that's how we used to do it…"

"If you have a suicidal wish, just let me know beforehand and I'll ease your passing to the afterlife," William snorted, "just stick to my orders to the lettre. I'll keep an eye on all of you, so don't let me down."

The statues went into silence, as these words told them he knew even the traits and limitations of this special version of theirs.

It was true they could change into this form, but it came with a grave cost. Their spirit power consumption would skyrocket, something even the oldest and strongest ones couldn't handle.

The only way to survive was by absorbing others' spirit power, Suction Ability it was called. They could merge with anyone's body, suck their spirit power dry in mere minutes! This was an ability that could be considered tyrannical, especially when considering such time was needed to empty scary folks' spirit power like Fang.

Other weak targets would take a much shorter duration, even a few seconds for those at the silver grade or lower. They might be considered killing machines in this mode, and they always try to kill humans all the time when travelling.

But now William ordered them to not touch a single master's hair, focus only on the enemies, their old allies. This was something unexpected for them to believe to happen. And yet William's words knocked more sense back to their minds.

They didn't enjoy their past freedom anymore. And so they unwillingly followed William out through the gate.
