Chapter 217 The Black Mamba

Like a bolt of lightning, William vanished from the sight of the two spirit masters who were less than ten metres away from him, vanished from the sight of Garlend the other spirit master by the latter's side, vanished from the sight of the audience, even from the judge's keen and worried eyes!

In William's vision, he twisted and moved in between the two incoming hostile spirit masters, simply hitting each with his sword, aiming for a neck and chest.

When he appeared again, he was standing near the other end of the arena, with a sword which got blood dripping from its edge.

The entire world went under a weird crashing heavy silence at this moment. Everyone, be it a foe, spirit masters fighting at other battlefields, the audience, even the judges… They all stopped in their tracks, turned and focused on such a silence and awe towards William.

William didn't get it, but when he used his move, an ear deafening thunderous explosive voice erupted, making even the battling teams around stop in their tracks, and look towards his direction.

Those who were already watching had their jaws drop and their saliva started to fall off their gaped open mouths! No one could tell what the heck just happened, no one could tell what William just did.

*Thud!* *Thud!*

And as if the scene missed the final touch to it, two thuds echoed at the next second, as the two spirit masters William attacked fell to the ground motionless.

Two slowly growing pools of blood erupted from their bodies, telling everyone the end result of these two.

They were silver grade spirit masters, one entire rank higher than William. And yet that bronze spirit master, who was many years younger, who looked like a candle flame on the verge of dying at any moment, was able to take these two down with one move! Just a single move! And without even activating his spirit!!

It was quite shocking, terrifying, unbelievable to all but one… The same person who pulled such a miraculous feat.

"You are going to fall next," William slowly turned, faced the last remaining member of Garlend's team, standing just twenty metres from the latter. The moment William turned and sat his eyes on that dude, his body trembled as if he got eyed by a death god or something.

"No… I conc…" that dude hurried to run to the edge of the arena, tried to touch the rescue emblem at the same time, while shouting his words of surrender to save his life.

He didn't care how William did it, he didn't care about his team winning or losing this battle anymore. All he cared about at this moment was his life.

"You won't get any different treatment than what you showed to my team," and before he'd complete any of these desperate attempts to save his life, William moved again. This time, William accelerated for just thirty metres, before appearing by the side of that poor dude in a blink of an eye.

"No!" He was a silver grade earth spirit master, and his desire to live overwhelmed his fear. Without even grasping how William did it, and before even hearing William's words, he heard the thunderous booming sound that erupted with William's fast move, making his heart skip a beat.

He halted anything he planned to do, and simply used his fastest, simplest, and strongest defensive technique, the earth shield, out of reflex and his instinct to live.

His body got enveloped in a strong looking layer of brown energy that took the shape of an oval looking shield quite fast.

"Nice response," William saw that oval shield appearing in front of him, "but it's unfortunate that you met me!"

*Rumble!*

Another explosive sound erupted. William activated the same technique again, jumping for five metres this time, appearing just at the opposite side of that dude.

"No!" It was Garlend this time who shouted when William did that. Garlend saw all this unfolding in front of his eyes, he saw William flash, appear at the other side of where his fellow last team member formed his shield.

Once Garlend saw this, he knew his mate was done for if William connected this move with an attack from his deadly sword.

Garlend did never have any emotions towards his team in the first place. In his eyes, they were just disposable pawns. But letting the last member of his team get killed or disqualified would end quite badly for him.

He didn't know what went wrong with that tenth member of the red falcon team. Just when Garlend thought this battle was his guaranteed win, just when he envisioned taking the other team down, tearing them apart, and making an example out of them, tables turned around over him, in a way that he still didn't grasp or accept!

To add more to his shock, this all came from the only member he never placed in his eyes before.

So, in such a moment of life and death, he instantly activated his spirit, out of fear. His body got covered up with fine scales, a long thin tail, and one horn.

"The Grand Black Mamba clan?!" This wasn't just a shocking realisation for William, but for everyone else watching this battle.

"You are… A direct dark spirit master's bloodline! You are part of the Black Mamba clan!" The judge, who stood watching what was happening in utter disbelief, couldn't help but mutter in another and different type of shock.

He wasn't the only one who felt like this. After all, the Black Mamba clan was one of the strongest and most ferocious clans in the dark spirit master community, and they were active around the academy.

Many spirit masters in the academy or in clans and families around fell on the hands of the Black Mambas.

"F*ck it!" Garlend knew he blew his cover the moment he heard the words coming from William and the judge. "As I already got found out and reached this point, I'll kill you first, then escape."

"Keep dreaming!" the judge roared, yet before he'd move a single finger, another shout came from the direction of the arena, stopping the judge in his tracks.

"He is mine! Don't interfere in this!" William shouted while his sword and movement didn't even halt for the slightest when Garlend activated his spirit.
