Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master-Chapter 11 A Tricky Situation
?This was the best description of what was going on here. After so many years of suppression, the first time Berry read a phoenix spirit based incantation, her dormant spirit rejoiced and showed scary signs of vitality.
But that wasn't the problem here. The problem was that the two of them stood at the outer border of the blessing forest, in the middle of the main route linking the forest with the academy.
It wasn't the matter of monsters alone, but also other kids from the academy would definitely pass through here in the next hours!
"Why did it end this way?!" as he knew he would be in deep trouble the moment people discovered the two of them, William had to make a choice. Either to abandon Berry or to do something about their current situation and help her in such a weird situation.
Of course, he chose the latter. Without much hesitation he pressured on himself and carried the stiff and heavy body of Berry on his shoulders.
Before carrying her, he looked at the papers in her hands. He tried and found out to his disappointment that taking the papers away from her hands looked impossible without tearing the papers up. So, he had to let her keep the papers for now and moved in a different road away from this spot.
However, just as he carried her for less than five hundred metres, he realised that he made a grave mistake.
"Hoof… Hoof… My body can't take it anymore… Hoof… Hoof…"
As he carried her around, he got tired so fast. He overestimated the condition of his body. At this moment, it was impossible to keep moving her body like this.
"Sorry about that," he left her standing on the ground, inside an open space with a small running water stream, "but if I tried to take you with me, we both would be doomed." 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺
He took out the flaring signal of help without any more hesitation and used it. Before long some guards would come and rescue her for sure.
The academy had many guards standing on duty around the forest. From such a small distance from the academy main campus, the rescue team would be here in less than a few minutes.
As he did that, he started to run with his highest speed. Worrying about monsters attacking her wasn't an issue. After all, this part of the forest was constantly cleared of any strong monsters. And weak monsters would hesitate to come near such an oppressive aura of Berry.
Just after a few minutes of his departure, he could hear many voices coming from behind. He knew she was saved and now he was ready to start his delayed work.
He came here to train and kill monsters, to collect monster cores and different monster materials. Despite him being so weak at the moment, he wasn't out of options.
The type of monster he aimed to kill was called the scarlet monkeys. They were famous for their big numbers and weak strength. But even with their weak strength, the numbers they moved in made it hard for a single spirit master to hunt them down alone.
Scarlet monkeys were famous for their scarlet fur, monster cores, and also a sort of needle at the end of their tails. Collecting all this would make him gain at least one hundred spirit crystals per monster.
So, if he killed a hundred, he would obtain a fortune without doubt. These monsters usually moved in large groups, each with numbers over fifty. They were attracted to blood, and that made them very violent and dangerous in this forest.
Imagine if a group of spirit masters just killed a monster. They would be weary and tired. But instead of resting and recuperating, they had to be on guard from any sneak attacks from those monkeys.
Annoyance was the term that accompanied such monsters. With their large numbers, high agility, and their love for sneaky attacks, they were the enemy of many disciples at the academy.
But that wasn't the case for William. William had a way to clear them out even with his weak strength. But he had to prepare first.
The first thing he did while running forward was to inspect the ground. He was looking for a sort of plant, very common and with little uses in the spirit world.
It was called the Allaptica Bellusa, or the red leafed flower. It was famous for its beautiful look, making them even sold as gifts from boys to girls.
Large curvy petals, with faint redness in the centre and white all over, long thin stem with red leaves which gave it its name.
"It's good to have people ignorant about some valuable things sometimes," as he walked through the forest, he found many of these flowers. He wasn't polite and gathered a good number of them.
At this moment he had to envy Berry again for having a storage bracelet at such a young age. If he had such a gear, he would instantly store all the flowers he met.
But as he was limited with his bag, he couldn't store more than fifty of them.
"It's enough for now," helplessly he stopped looking for the flowers and started to focus on the area around. "I recall there were some sort of small hills scattered in this region," he muttered to himself while examining the place.
The darkness in the forest was much deeper than the outside world. But using light candles was a grave mistake. Monsters were sensitive to human scent, but they were more sensitive to light in the darkness of the night.
So, he refrained from using one and kept walking ahead guided by his old and rusty memory.
In his past life, he visited the forest many times to help other disciples as a porter. Saying he knew the forest like the back of his hand was an exaggeration but saying he would know a little about the famous hunting spots here was a true statement.
Of course, that was only applied to the outer part of this forest. The deeper parts were still a complete mystery to him.
His plan was simple. He would use part of his knowledge to his advantage. Luckily this wouldn't need any strength or consume spirit power.
"There it is," after cautiously and slowly walking for almost an hour, he finally found what he was looking for. Standing a few hundred metres away, one could see this small hill like a dark behemoth lying in the middle of the world.𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
