Chapter 728 I Have To Repay My Debts



The black fox was using mocking words, void of any mocking tone or attitude at all. This was quite bizarre, and William couldn't help but inspect the world he was in again.

And this time he managed to spot new stuff, small dots that shone faintly like they were distant stars or something. They weren't here before, and William felt danger coming from them.

"You won this trial, and you are worthy to have my next gift to you," the black fox noticed William's gazes, and yet he didn't comment over this. It seemed that the fox was more reassured when William noticed these distant stars and started to speak in more detail.

"I'll teach you a technique, one that's considered a sacred one in my family. Don't give me that look, I don't need to hear any of your thanks or gratitude. You won it huge this time, crushed that monster entirely, and gained my respect and admiration."

In fact, William didn't look in any way towards the fox. His attention was focused over these stars, feeling like he was being watched by them. He didn't know who they were, but he knew they were quite formidable enough, even to make the black fox spirit act in such a weird attitude.

The fox spoke lightly, yet his face didn't even show the faintest shadow of a smile. His tone kept being serious, and that made William return to look at him and focus more on what it was going to say.

After all, this was his trophy from this trial. And he hoped it'd have something to do with the current tight situation.

"This technique is called Spirit Evolution technique. Using it, one can evolve his spirit and even jump over grades if he got the right components and materials needed for it. Keep training on it diligently, and you'll…"

"Preposterous!" Just before the fox would continue his words, a thunderous and mighty shout came from nowhere else by the distant stars. William turned to see the stars shining brighter, and weird pillars of light felt like they were attacking this place.

"Go now, you got everything engraved on your back," the black fox waved its tails, ending up summoning its full form of nine tails and even horns. William saw the world around change, while his back itched as some sort of an insect was moving on it or something.

He didn't get time before he was ejected out of the black fox world. The last moments were indeed shocking, making him feel real terror that assaulted his spirit. When he came out from there, he didn't feel just itchy at his back, but also felt cold sweat soaking his entire body.

"Are you alright?" The moment William returned back, his spirit form got cancelled and his body appeared again. Yet from the pale look and such profuse sweating that covered his face, Zin knew something was terribly wrong.

"I'm… Fine…" William tried to stand up yet he found difficulty in doing so. He felt like he was in a severe state of weakness, as if he suffered from a backlash or something.

As his body trembled just to stand up, William took another elixir bottle and sucked it dry. When he felt better, he couldn't help but extend his hand and touch his back.

"It managed to draw something there," William found that his armour was still intact, but underneath he felt itchier. It felt like he just got a tattoo done on his entire back. And the worst thing was that he didn't have a way to see through it directly.

"We are getting close to the safe border," Zin suddenly said, while his eyes kept scanning William up and down, "are you feeling better now?"

"I just got a severe wound, one that can't be healed directly using training," William lied.

"I can help," Zin said, "if you want to."

"Thanks, but I prefer to let it heal on its own," William paused, turning to the far away ground that was covered literally with lots of people, "what's the plan next?"

"We won this battle, so it's time to go back and celebrate," Zin laughed, "many are already celebrating when the dark academy fell."

"Well, I have to let go of such a chance then," William's face changed to show a serious look on his face, "I need to do something first."





"Those mysterious friends and allies?" Zin already guessed part of what William intended to do. Those folks were a real puzzlement not only to him but to many.

"I have to pay what I owe, right?" William faintly smiled, as if he had to do something big to repay the big help of Leo and others.

"I want to come and get to know them better."

"I'm afraid that won't happen," William knew that Zin wasn't stupid. He and other high-end masters already guessed Leo and his legion weren't just normal masters.

But William had his chance to get to know more about this mysterious side of the world, and he wouldn't let Zin or others ruin his chance. He could tell even without asking that Leo and others wouldn't agree if he asked them to bring anyone with him.

He still didn't get the final answer to his offer, despite feeling confident in Leo's superiors' approval of his request.

In less than half an hour, they finally arrived at the ground. William could see lots of people shouting and singing, joking and laughing about this grand victory. He couldn't help but smile in the middle of such an atmosphere, and his guild members weren't an exception to any of that.

William talked to his vices and friends, the leaders of various forces, and told them about his intention to go and repay his debt. The leaders were curious about Leo and his legion and asked to join. As for his vices and friends, they all felt he was lying, and wanted to come to see what was all this about.
