Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Once his words landed, everyone finally got to notice what they missed.

They got distracted by the intense discussion about how to save themselves from this monster, missed that little and weirdly long battle between William and that weird mouth part of the monster.

And when William shone the light over what they neglected, they started to question themselves the same questions William mentioned.

"The monster can move a single part of its body at a time without the need to get triggered," William didn't give them time to think about this more thoroughly, and kept revealing more of this monster's hidden secrets, "this is done to scare their target, make them move and create vibrations on the ground, ending up getting the trap triggered. However…"

William felt a fierce pushing force coming from that part of the monster, one that looked like it wanted to raise his body up and slam him down to the ground.

At this moment, William slowly bent his legs, stabilising himself against such sudden force and twist in movement. "In return for that, the monster wouldn't be able to freely control that part. It could only push it forward, recall it back, only move it in one direction at any given moment."

"Then… Why didn't it recall it back yet?" Berry couldn't help but ask.

"Because of me," William slowly said, "I'm pushing with all might against it, not giving it a single chance to break this move. If I got pushed back, thrown in the air, it'd regain its chance to stop this move, recall its part back to the ground, and start doing another attack."

William resisted another fierce struggle from the monster, while everyone started to see what he was doing in a new limelight. "As long as it extended part of its body out, and as long as the ground didn't get triggered, then dealing with it is going to be simple… Anyone can form spear or needle-like things, make them float over the ground, and be sharp enough and arm them with great force, to dig deep into tens of metres under the ground?"

This was his simple and yet effective plan.

"But… Won't this trigger the trap?" Sara felt the same doubt everyone else did.

"That's why the moment these things penetrate the ground, you all will jump in the air. Don't move, don't run, just jump."

"This…"

"Synchronise your jumps to be with the movement of these sharp and deadly things… As long as you jump at the right moment, the monster will miss your presence, focus only on the spears and needles attacking it, and get its trap triggered over these things."

"This… Is it this simple?" Even Ibra, the most experienced dude here, felt much doubt and shock from William's tactic.

"It's that simple indeed," William paused, resisting another fierce push from that monster, "the trap can be triggered once. And once that monster gets its body rolled over the wrong targets, killing it will be easy."

"It may seem easy, but…" Sara moved her eyes around, "this monster got formidable defence in its scales. The moment it gets triggered, these scales will return to their places, right?"

"Right, and wrong," William's face showed an exhausted look over it, drenched all in sweat, but he still had the power to show a faint little evil smile, "these spears and needles will leave behind many wounds. The more we use, the better our chances in taking it down. And once its deadly trap is dealt with, there is nothing else to worry about but its tail and mouth parts…"

William narrowed his eyes, before adding, "I can handle that mouth thing, but the tail must be dealt with by someone in a fast way. I need someone with a scary offence, strong defence, and enough spirit power to chop it in a hit or two."

"I'll do it!" before Sara would jump in, Ibra was a half beat faster than her, "I got a good shield anyway, of gold grade. It can stop that needle. And my glaive can chop it in one shot."

"Great," William accepted that dude's volunteering action, "if we manage to deal with all this, then all that will remain is a sitting duck monster to kill. And now… Who can use techniques to form spears and sharp needles?"

Everything got cleared in the eyes of all the team members by this point and hope already blazed wildly in their chests and minds.

Minutes ago, everyone was accepting the fact of sacrificing a few to let the rest survive, running away with their heads on their shoulders.

And now they were daring to dream about slaying this monster. So, it was expected how fierce their desire to start the battle and kill this monster was.

"I can control the earth element, forming spears made out of sturdy rocks!"

"I can control fire, form long and sharp arrows that can move and attack anything I want!"

"I don't have any element, but I got this sharp spear from you. It's silver grade, and I can throw it to get this son of b*tch!"

"I can control the water element, make out many needles in any size I want. I can't turn them into ice, but can infuse my spirit power inside, making them as sturdy as steel!"

Many started to speak up, announcing their ability to do what William wanted.

"Great! Let's start then," William finally could heave a sigh of relief.
