Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

While the two started their long journey back home, things in the city were getting heated up. Even after the fall of the mastermind of all this, the monsters and dark masters were still putting up a huge fight there.

The masters came from the city, flooded the entire grand fort, and fought the enemies bravely.

The fight kept flipping from one side to another from the start, but after a few days, it was totally clear it was going to end in the pockets of the city masters.

It wasn't just because all the masters were now fighting together for the first time ever. Tons of masters came to the city from different places in the continent when they heard the news about the battle development, and even many came from another continent as well.

As masters were fighting monsters and dark masters together, and there were such weird and new phenomena that other masters hadn't seen before, many were curious to come and help were curious to see what was special about these monsters, and to kill more of their most hated enemies.

Things started to get better starting from day five. It went like how William said it before leaving, the moment they controlled large places of the walls, and things began to shift to their side quite smoothly.

The masters all migrated and got positioned at the walls, using these to fight against the enemies all over the place. As there was a deadly trench surrounding the entire zone, the enemies could never entrap any masters. And that made the battle end with the masters controlling the entire section of walls, ending up entrapping the enemies inside.

This happened on day eight of the start of this war, and from there it was simply a one-sided massacre. The enemies tried hard to reclaim parts of the walls but failed. Nothing they could do was helpful, and they ended up losing more and more of their numbers.

The only hope they got was the constant supply of monsters either from within the fort or from outside. They kept flooding the entire fort, placing tons of pressure on everyone. But as there were enough high-end masters there, they formed separate teams and went either deep into the fort or outside to stop the incoming monsters from time to time.

This helped greatly the defending masters in taking precious moments of breath. At the same time, it felt like they were fighting monsters and dark masters in successive waves, and that made them grasp the tempo to do it without exerting their spirit powers.

The battle put its last curtain on the twentieth day. Even when they won, they paid a hefty price to do so. The big losses came from the early days of this war, and many members of the Fox guild took a great toll and a great hit this time. Even members of the Black Tails team were lost, many actually.

Even in the circle of William's close friends, he lost three, including Peter, and Smith.

"We lost big this time," Sara was standing on top of the same spot where William got hit deeply before, and lost his consciousness, the place where that Troll Tower was. She wasn't alone, as all of William's friends were there.

They lost three, but all of them were suffering tons of wounds at the moment. They kept fighting for long days while suffering more wounds as they struggled to heal the old ones.

Other masters went to rest, celebrating such a win, but they didn't. They remained here, looking at the three dead bodies of their friends, of the masters they used to see for a long time by their side, even growing used to not losing any of them.

But this battle taught them a valuable lesson, something like a cold slap on their faces. They all returned to the bitter reality and knew how cruel and hard the spirit master world was. At any given time, any of them could fall, and none was an exception.

"I hope he is fine," Berry muttered, while others remained silent. They were all deadly worried about William, especially when they didn't get any news from him since he left.

"He said he'll take time to return back," Sara said, "let's believe in him. Besides, he isn't alone."

"Sloth is a very capable master, I trust he'll keep William safe," Anjie paused, turning to all the gloomy and exhausted faces of William's friends, "but it's not the right time to be here. We need to move and act fast."

"For what?" Ro looked around, "We already won this war, and there isn't a single enemy left."

"She didn't mean that," Lang was feeling devastated at the moment. The loss of Peter was something that was like losing Berry or William or something. Peter was his childhood friend, the longest friend he ever had, the longest person he ever known, and the one he totally trusted to the depths of his bones and heart.

He felt like he lost a father or a brother, and that was indeed true. But that didn't stop him from taking part in this discussion, "We won this war, and the city masters didn't secure it without us. Our fame and name are now at the top. There are tons of new masters here. And we need fresh blood to replenish the ones we lost."

"You mean…" Lara looked at others, before nodding, "Leave this to me. Before opening the gate for new blood, we need to do a little propaganda first."

"Don't take long on this," Sara felt how important doing this was, "we need to use the hype right now around us to do this."

"Got it," Lara left, and the rest remained behind, looking at everything as if they were looking at a sad story and bad history.
