Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master
Chapter 70 - 70: Trying The Combined Version

William couldn't tell how deadly such an attack was. He first needed someone to fight against to test this attack. Just judging from his feelings when he executed this strike and the narrow hole that was left behind wasn't enough.

"At least I managed to execute it…" he took a deep breath, stood up after one hour of rest and recuperation. "But it's not enough! I consumed most of my spirit power while stacking five slashes only. I have to lower that number and cut it by half first…"

He recalled his last night experience when he tried to lower the number of stored slashes while using his light based move.

He failed to trigger the attack when he used less than five slashes. "And what about this merge with the darkness around? Is it compulsory for the technique to get executed? But it got triggered on its own…"

He was careful to not pull such a move back then. However, his body moved on its own and merged with darkness.

He didn't have any control on that, and it felt like he was doing it naturally like breathing or eating. Its appearance was surprising for him, and he wasn't prepared and missed many details when that happened.

He knew if he left such a thing untouched or dealt with, then when trying to merge the three elements together, something bad would happen.

"Dealing with the darkness element in my spirit is totally different than dealing with the same element in the world around…" he knew the latter would be quite challenging and different than the former.

He had a chance to pull this through if he limited the merge with the elements of his spirit than with the world. But if he left the darkness element from the world to interfere, then this entire technique wouldn't get done properly.

As he thought about all these in his mind, he started to execute his move again. This time he paid close attention towards the darkness outside, feeling how his body got triggered and blended with it without his control.

And he just used two slashes this time.

Unlike what he was worried about, the darkness in his body got stirred up from the first slash he did. At the same time, the moment the darkness element inside got activated, he felt like some sort of a seal got removed.

It was like a fish returning to a pond of water, his body perfectly blended with darkness around without the need for him to do anything.

It was a move that looked quite natural, like he already belonged to that darkness. He felt like the darkness in the entire world was welcoming him as a son returning from a long trip abroad.

*Boom!*

The fierceness of this strike was much weaker than the first one. But he also ended up creating a deep hole that he couldn't tell how deep it was. And also, his spirit power got depleted by almost fifty percent.

"I got my spirit power expenditure rate lowered… But that blend with the darkness thing is quite annoying… Tsk!"

It wasn't just a worry about how the world's darkness would affect the other two elements, it also had a great limitation for this technique.

If he couldn't deal with that darkness blending move, then no matter how he tried, he wouldn't be able to execute such a technique except at night or in dark places.

"Not to mention if my enemies realised this flaw, they might use some flaring items like the candles to weaken the darkness around, ending up with me failing to execute the technique or bring the full power of it…"

There were lots of limitations if he couldn't solve this problem. As he sat and recovered his strength back, he kept thinking about what he should do.

No matter how he tried next, it proved futile to stop such a merge. He managed to lower his spirit power consumption to reach only twenty percent while using a single slash only.

Even when a single slash was used, the attack was quite domineering. Yet he couldn't do anything about merging with darkness around.

This move came in a very natural way. If he didn't find a way to stop the darkness around from touching his body, then he'd end up merging with the darkness no matter what!

"If so… I can wait until the morning to test this out… Or…" he didn't want to wait all these hours without trying.

So, he took out many candles of light, scattered them around and lit them up. The dancing green flames danced and pushed away darkness around a circular zone they surrounded.

He stood in the centre, took a deep breath, and started to activate his move again.

*Fwoosh!*

Like a dam broke down, releasing the entrapped huge amount of water behind, the moment he used his move, the darkness around swirled and pressured the light of candles.

One by one, the blazing green flames got extinguished one after another, as if wind erupted out of nowhere.

William was keenly observing his surroundings, and he never felt any wind coming. "Quite a fierce element indeed! Even against its nemesis, the darkness pushed itself inside and killed the flames…"

He felt what happened crystal clear and didn't miss anything. The flames died down as if they met something they couldn't fight against.

It was a small fight, one which ended up quite fast by the prevailing darkness. The moment many flames died down, darkness surrounded his body, curdling around him and taking him into its embrace.

"Tsk! I can't handle this in the night then…" reaching such a point, he knew it was pointless to keep trying this move in the night. He already executed the move and reached a stage where his spirit power could handle.

As using the candles failed, he had nothing else to do but to try doing this in the morning. He knew it'd be quite hard to execute darkness based techniques during daylight, but he had no other choice but to do so.

"I'll try out the combined version of the last night technique then…" as more than half of the night passed without reaching a conclusive result, he decided to not waste his time in rest and try out the other technique he came up with last night.
