Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master



William found his way easily towards the main gate he came from in the past day. Yet when he arrived there, he found it tightly closed.

That wasn't all, but the number of patrols over the walls grew exponentially, as if there was some sort of a big monster tide coming or something.

"What are you doing here?" and just as William stood in front of the tightly shut gates, a group of masters approached with weapons raised up, seemingly ready for battle at any given moment.

"I want to go out," William answered casually, as if he didn't notice the tension in the air or the more groups of masters looking in his direction, "but the gates are shut, and I can't do it."

"How come you don't know the rules of our world? At night, no one is allowed to go out, and the gates are shut! Who are you? Give me your name, the name of your clan or family, the place where you live in."

"He is with me," and before William would respond to such a heavy interrogation, a voice came to startle everyone.

"Angelica? Is he one of your clan?" The leader of the group of guards turned to Angelica, and he seemed to feel a bit awkward.

"He is a special guest to my clan," Angelica walked calmly until she reached them. She didn't spare the guards another glance, turned toward William and simply crossed her arms without saying a single word.

"What?" William looked in an honest and innocent way towards her, "am I a prisoner or something?"

"You are a special guest," she responded, in a tone that seemed to carry lots of accusations towards William, "you need to wait until my clan leaders are back."

"For what?" William rolled his eyes, turned all of sudden towards the shut gates, pointed at them as he added, "masters shall not live inside shells like these. The world is our stage, our life, and the place where we shall go out and adventure at all times."

"..."

His words came out of her expectations. She thought he'd find any lame excuse to justify what he was doing. "I want to go out, I have things to do. Without being impolite, meeting your family and clan leaders won't help me in anything."

"You…" She and other guards seemed to be taken aback by what he said. And he didn't wait for their response, turned around and headed towards the nearby stairs.

"Keep your town's gates shut, I'll jump from the walls and walk away from here. Nice to meet you all, and hopefully we'll meet again in better circumstances."

William climbed the stairs without even looking back. All the eyes were focused on him, and soon enough he arrived at the top of the walls.

There were a series of walls built around each other, with bridges connecting them, crossing the narrow gaps left in between each group of walls.

When he arrived at the top, he found many more masters standing on patrol over there. He thought there were thousands, but he found tens of thousands. And that was a bit weird in his eyes.

Yet he never stopped for a single moment, walked towards the closest bridge and crossed it.

"Don't dream about walking away without having me by your side," when he was just about to arrive at the last and outermost wall, he heard soft steps before the voice of Angelica came next.

"It's a free world," William shrugged, standing at the very edge of the walls, "but the place I'm going to visit is far, too far away from here."

"Let me guess, you plan to visit the Blue Star city, right?"

This was the name of the city William planned to visit. He looked at her as if he was looking at her for the first time.

"You showed a special interest towards this city out of anything else I told you about," she smiled as if she was satisfied with exposing his intentions.

"If you know, then why come?" William paused, "we are going far from home, and you seem pretty attached to this place."

"It's my home, and I'm supposed to be attached to it," she harrumphed before adding, "but I never adventure this far away before. I know you are strong, even if you look young, you are quite strong."

"Don't expect me to be your bodyguard."

"I'm sure I won't need any," she laughed, took a stick out before she touched it on the side, released a circular stretch of silk, turning it into some sort of a weird umbrella, "let's go, I'll race you down below."

"Nothing can beat gravity," William laughed before he simply jumped off the walls. She floated slowly using her umbrella as if she was flying. As for him, he went directly towards the ground in an accelerated manner. Midway though, he used his wind techniques, and gulped a healing elixir as well.

The walls were at least two hundred metres in height. And that made such jump quite suicidal in Angelica's eyes, in all the masters watching this weird show from the walls.

But when William landed on the ground, stood up as if he got no harm or wound at all from such a jump, they all questioned what they saw, and many even rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

"You sure are full of surprises," Angelica took a couple more minutes to land, yet she didn't need to consume anything.

"You have a nice toy," William motioned towards the umbrella, "is it sold in the city?"

"Anything is sold there," she looked around, seemingly a bit nervous about being out at night.

"Don't give me the impression this is your first time being out in the night," William rolled his eyes, "we travelled for days and walked during nighttime."

"This is different," she seemed truly scared of something, "the areas around the towns and cities at night are far more dangerous than anywhere else in the world."
