Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"Anyway, telling you this won't bring any harm," the golden spirit paused, as if it was weighing the risks of telling William anything special about the spirit world, "if spirits went out on a crusade, blood always follows. And as spirits moved to attack another, news always leaked, and that can lead to a very critical situation."

"Like what?" William responded without thinking too much about what the golden spirit was saying. His mind was still trying to guess what the relationship between the black fox was going out for war and him being dragged here.

"We work in a special way, not alone normally…"

"I know, you got factions, right?" William interrupted the golden spirit's words without thinking too much about this, "I know all this already. so?"

"You? How?!!" The golden spirit seemed a bit startled at first, before it realised what happened, "I see, it seems that fox took a great deal of liking to you."

"Speaking if I don't worthy of such support," William twisted his lips and the golden spirit sighed.

"Humans are always arrogant; do you think you are special? Do you think you are the only strong creatures in the world?"

"Monsters have strong names of course…"

"Not monsters, you won't get it even if I told you, "The golden spirit seemed like it was speaking to itself more than to William, "anyway, as you know about this already, then you can expect what can happen if one group moves to attack another, right?"

"They'll strengthen defences at the target, ask for help from other group members," William paused, looking around, "however the black fox is the one attacking and moving out, not the one getting attacked… It doesn't add up, right?"

"No, you are getting it all wrong," the golden spirit paused again for a few seconds before adding, "the home is like the heart of our folks, if one got attacked and lost home, it'll get severely weakened and even die."

"This…" William couldn't get how a place was related to one's strength and life, "then… You want to say…"

"The black fox must have got wind of something coming to attack his home, so he asked for your help."

"My help?" William blinked, "but I'm not that strong to help and stop any attack from other spirits."

William recalled again the old experience against the group that came to attack the black fox home. It was a very stressful moment, and he was positive he had no power to stand against any of these enemies.

"At least you are realistic and not that arrogant, good," the golden spirit seemed to think about something entirely different than what William was speaking about, "I believe the black fox already knows about my existence by your side."

"This…"

"It's not a surprise, he is your spirit after all," the golden spirit sighed, "it's understandable, he needs my help, and yet this isn't the nicest way to ask for that."

"..."

William knew the golden spirit was either speaking rubbish or it was telling something he had zero knowledge about. He leant towards the latter possibility, and that made him evilly grin to himself.

"That black fox… It's really cunning," he thought to himself, realising how the black fox forced the golden spirit's hands here.

If William got into a deadly situation, then the golden spirit's life would be in danger as well. That meant dragging William here would force the golden spirit to act. The target wasn't William, but the golden spirit.

"What did he want from you?" William cleared up his throat, "you are aware you can't do much in such a state, right?"

"I'm sure he also knows that," the golden spirit seemed to think about the same question William had in mind; what did the black fox want from the golden spirit?

And before the golden spirit would say anything else, the entire place suddenly rumbled.

"What's this?" William didn't need to have a spirit sense here to know something bad was coming.

"Someone is here," the golden spirit confirmed William's doubts, "some spirits are trying to barge their way in."

"Some? Not just one?!" William felt more surprised, before hurriedly asking, "what if they came here?"

"Told you already…"

"No, I mean if the black fox is gone, what will happen to me, and you?"

"Don't start mentioning the bad stuff," the golden spirit coughed, while the world around the two rumbled again, "let's see who is coming uninvited first, then talk later."

"Can we see them?" Before William would continue his words, the golden spirit suddenly shone brighter in gold, releasing a huge burst of power that started to spread fast all over the place.

"What are you doing?" William was surprised to see that. He thought the golden spirit had no power to use here.

"If the black fox of yours wanted me to help, then he must have left something to let me do it," the golden spirit spoke, and William could feel how tired his voice was, "and he really left something for me to tug into his home. I can't do much, not alone of course, but at least we can see who is attacking here."

As the golden spirit ended his words, part of the power it released started to gather and form some sort of a screen. It floated midair, around tens of metres above the ground, and was hundreds of metres in width and length.

Soon enough, the screen started to show different concentrations of the golden power particles, taking shapes, ones that looked quite vague at first before clearing up.

"Hmm… We got four different spirits coming for your fox, that means he targeted a big force… Not good…"

As the golden spirit said, four different shapes appeared in front of William. One was a big wolf, another was a big snake with three heads, the third was an ox, and the fourth was a hybrid between an eagle, horse, and scorpion.
