BXBX NOVEL Chapter 731 It All Started Out Wrongly!
If such a strong force existed, spread all over the world, then why wouldn\'t he use them when the world would come to an end? In fact, he started to think that part of what happened to the tiny world in his past life was related somehow to some sort of a curse, negatively impacting the fate and destiny of the entire world.
"We are here," after two days, they finally arrived at a grand mountain. It was so huge that it stood up among other peaks and mountains in the region.
"Is this where your Cult base lies?" William asked as if he didn\'t know where the main base was.
From the words he listened to, the main base wasn\'t here to begin with, not in this continent. It was in a place unknown even to the legion members. But at least they knew it wasn\'t here.
"We are going to rest in this temporary base," Leo didn\'t give any confirmative answer, "the Cardinals are going to end their meeting in a few days or so. During which, you are a welcomed guest of ours."
"Thanks," William followed them towards the base of the mountain. Instead of what he expected, instead of finding an entrance of a hidden door or something, Leo stepped up over an area, took something out from his ring, and then the entire area shone brightly in white light.
It was a portal, a short distance one. And in a blink of an eye, William found himself standing in the middle of a big stoney hall. It was filled with nothing else but seats and tables, as if it was a dining hall or something.
"Jeremy will be your guard," Leo turned to his right-handed man. And the latter got what Leo wanted without the need to ask. Leo wanted William to stay here, but his stay was limited and under many restrictions.
By entrusting Jeremy as his guard, it meant he was also his watcher. William also got the subtle warning in Leo\'s words, that he didn\'t have much freedom to walk around or explore the area. He was a guest, but he had to be careful while staying here.
"This way," Jeremy led William through a long rocky corridor, ending up with a large gathering of rooms. William was led to one of them, and Jeremy told him that they\'d notify him of the final decision once made.
He didn\'t act like Leo, and directly warned William against going out and exploring the place. He also told him that spirit sense wouldn\'t work here, as the entire structure was filled with tons of arrays.
William found himself inside a simple room that was around a few hundred metres square. There wasn\'t much out there, only a bed, a desk, a drawer, and a few old looking scrolls.
William felt curious about these scrolls and started to examine them after removing the dust away. They were just ten in number, and all were speaking about the general concept of Mystic Arts.
William already knew little about the way of the Cult. So it was expected that most of these scrolls\' content was just repeated and old news to him.
But there was also new information there. William read the scrolls and memorised everything to the heart, before finally starting to think about what happened with the black fox.
During the march, he was busy listening to what the legion members were speaking about. And now he finally got time to think about the weird situation he faced with the black fox.
"Everything started out wrongly…" William muttered after recalling what happened from the very beginning. The black fox was supposed to take him inside its world, start a trial that was similar to the first one he experienced.
Yet the black fox seemed to be forced by something to change all this. The black fox\'s attitude from the start was peculiar. And it kept getting weirder by the intense meeting at the end.
These stars were just a mystery to him. The fact that the black fox was scared of them puzzled William. He thought there was nothing to threaten such a high-grade spirit. Yet it seemed like he still knew nothing about these spirits and their realm.
"It left something on my back, some sort of a technique to evolve the spirit… Did it want me to merge with the other two spirits and evolve the fox spirit in the end? Is this the right way to handle these two troublesome spirits?" William was lost in thoughts, while thinking about his current options.
He removed his clothes to reveal his back, tried to read the drawings and words left there using his spirit sense. The moment he did so, he felt like there was a hidden power in these writings, ending up crushing his spirit sense in no time.
William frowned when that happened. He thought he could easily read what that black fox left using his spirit sense. But it seemed there were some sort of limitations and restrictions enforced on these writings.
"This can\'t be the doing of the black fox… Whoever these stars are, it seems like they don\'t want me to deal with the two spirits I acquired… Or is their aim something else? Something I don\'t know of?"
William tried again and he got the same result. He looked around and the place was void of any mirrors. "Don\'t tell me I need the help of others to read this!"
He had nothing in his hands to do about this. He had to push this aside, and started to inspect his new power and grade.
The spirit crystal shone in pale gold light, filled with lots of specks that kept swirling around and forming the shape of a fox with four tails. In the middle of this, he could see two miniature spirits lying in slumber, a snake and a dog.
