All he saw was a tsunami of black light, before everything blurred and blacked out for him.
He fell to the ground at last, closing his eyes, while his body released a pond of his blood around, one that was slowly growing.
"William!" and with his loss of consciousness, all the weird things happening around him stopped. This time Sloth didn't try to stop her, and let Anjie run all the way towards him, he and others followed as well.
William fell on the ground and lost consciousness, but it wasn't over for him or others. For others, they were terribly worried about him, and tried to do everything in their power to check on and help him out.
In front of them, things didn't look that great for William. His body was in a mess, and he looked in such a terrible state that made everyone think of the worse.
"We need healers, any special masters here who can help?" Sloth turned to Panther, and the latter just slowly nodded in a heavy way.
"Leave this to me," he said, while turning around and flushed away from here. He already considered himself responsible for all this, as this happened thanks to that weird vision he had.
"Can the healers enter here? Without him around to give them permission?" Sloth turned to Anjie, asking about this point.
He heard this from Panther, no one could trespass the territory of the Fox guild without the permission of the leader; William.
"He gave me authority to let people in," Anjie slowly said, while her voice was choked in her throat as if she was on the verge of crying, "he... He is going to be ok, right?"
She turned to her mentor, the most trusted person in the world after her father and William. Sloth could tell how devastated she was. And even if he wanted to lie, words stopped in his throat, unable to give this young lady a false hope that would backfire later badly.
"Oh heavens!" she turned her face away, couldn't even take a look at William anymore. She knew even Sloth didn't believe in the good odds of his survival, and all she had now was to pray, pray that Panther would find enough healers to help William.
Using healing elixirs wouldn't do. They all watched how William gulped them as if he was drinking water. In such a terrible state, there was no hope for him using elixirs, only healers could do such a miracle.
As everyone was experiencing such a bad situation, William was having his own encounter as well.
"You... You have the guts to come here after not showing up at the last time? I can't believe you!!" William went into deep sleep, and there he found himself standing in the middle of a world of fog.
It went without saying this was the black fox spirit world, or home. He came here twice, and he could recognise this even when closing his eyes.
"Why are you silenced? Can't you say anything?" After a few seconds of silence, William shouted. And as he requested, something answered him, something that was alien to him, not the black fox spirit he awaited for.
"So... You are the ant that stupid spirit selected to ascend? Did he suffer a head trauma or something? Can't he see how weak you are?"
"Who are you?" William turned around, but all he could see was black fog. It looked the same as last time he was here, nothing seemed to change at all, except for that weird voice that wasn't the black fox's.
"I'm someone far beyond your comprehension and power."
"Try me, are you a spirit? You must be, after all nothing else can enter that spirit world of yours... Let me guess, you belong to the Chaos camp there? Came here to beat my little fox?" William wasn't feeling any weakness or injuries at all when he was here. In fact, he always thought about his past experience in this world, and he made a guess.
He wasn't here in his flesh body, but with his spirit. And when he read through the scrolls, he realised that nothing but spirits could come here and go. And that meant by being here, he was like one of these sports, more like a normal person to masters, or how white grade master looked to a pinnacle grade one.
"You do know a lot about my world and people... That damn fox! What the hell did he say exactly?" The weird voice seemed a bit enraged by what William said. And that simply confirmed everything William just stated above.
"Don't take it on him, I found a treasure vault somewhere and there I discovered lots of stuff about you," William calmly said, inspecting the world he was in again, but couldn't find a single problem there.n0Velusb.c0m
"A treasure vault? Interesting lie from a human... Just typical..." The owner of this voice didn't seem to believe William, and the latter didn't care.
"What do you want from me? Why am I here? And where is my black fox?" As the owner of this voice acted this hostile towards him, mocking and not believing anything he said, William got no other option but to get done with all this.
He just came out from a crazy encounter, one that he gained a great opportunity from. And so he didn't want to waste more time here, wanted to go back and see how to heal his wounds and think about the choice that Black Phantom gave to him.
Playing according to the Nightmare monster's scheme? That was something he didn't like at all despite knowing it made quite sense.
"You are here to be the representative of that silly fox," the alien spirit paused, "he tried to stand up for his choice, saying that you are going to lead him towards glory. I can't believe how silly he is! I gave him a monster to support, and he ended up selecting a human instead, what a foolish fox he is!"
