Chapter 741 A Severe Backlash
Of course, this was a total lie. After the merge, the spirit of the master would wither away and only the monster's spirit would dominate the body. This was like living a life inside a prison, a life much worse even than that.
Another hard to meet condition was for the master and monster to have the exact same spirit power. That wasn't limited just to the general grade, but also the total number of spirit power the master and monster had.
Little margin of difference was allowed in the process, and that made it hard for any monster to change into a Mutant. Yet that Nightmare monster seemed to hit the jackpot, meeting a human that got formed out of a speck of dust, one who fulfilled all these conditions.
The interesting scenes didn't stop there. Once the monster changed and became human, a process that William knew happened five years ago, it started to roam the world.
William saw how this monster moved around and met with lots of human shaped figures. He could tell they were all dark masters, as they all followed that monster around until arriving at the dark academy of the Blue Hills.
William watched lots of these scenes, while knowing why these dark masters were scattered all over the world like this. This happened after the huge war, the crusade against the dark masters.
Then William watched that monster arriving at a place filled with hills. He knew this was the Blue Hills region. But starting from here, things started to grow hectic.
It didn't happen thanks to the actions of that monster, but happened to the small golden world William was in. Just as the scenes displayed the monster's work at the Blue Hills area, and the world of golden dust started to get restless.
The dust started to swirl and move in a fierce way, as if it was going to form a storm. And soon enough it did.
"Don't tell me something is wrong!" William noticed that aside from the bizarre movement of the free golden dust, the particles that were telling the monster's story were still acting normally.
[Something is interfering with the formation] Arthur's voice came to confirm William's doubts, [Don't worry, we are handling the pressure. Keep focusing and don't lose track of this]
"It's great to have such a backing," William smiled, feeling good about not having to suffer anything from that interference. As for what was happening, or who was interfering, he didn't care if it was the monster's doing or a backlash from this world.
As Arthur and his team were handling everything, William continued to calmly watch, not caring about the golden storm that swirled now all around him. The dust kept moving fast, hitting him but he felt nothing, not even the touch of wind.
William ignored all this and focused over the events occurring in front of him. The golden dust showed the monster working over the entire Blue Hills region, digging the ground and doing lots of things.
But soon enough, the scenes displayed started to get interrupted and distanced, missing lots of details over time. The scenes started to skip parts, and ended up in less than half an hour to show something, and then the dust would crash and form another scene without completing the story of what happened.
[We are getting severe backlash coupled with the interference of something scary… We won't be able to hold much longer… Try to think of something important, something crucial you want to know about this enemy. We can hold at most for five more minutes, so make it count]
William knew this was some sort of a reward from Arthur for him. So he took a deep breath, thought about the most important thing he wanted to know about this monster.
"Show me the fatal weakness of my enemy," William didn't want to learn about what that monster was doing right now, or where it was. The first and foremost important thing about this monster was about how to kill it.
This wasn't just a crucial thing to deal with the Nightmare monster, but also something he needed to deal with the nine tailed fox later on. The two were the same, and their weaknesses must be the same as well.
"Agh!" Yet when he said these words, and for the first time ever, William felt immense pain assaulting him. He felt like the swirling golden dust particles that looked harmless before were now raging wild, acting out of control, and starting to fiercely impact him.
William was sure the reason behind not getting any harm before was thanks to Arthur and his group. But now he seemed to ask about something that garnished a scary backlash from the entire world here, ending up for the failure of Arthur and others to shield him from any damage.
Yet he withstood and endured, waiting while getting hit severely by the golden dust as a shape of the Nightmare monster in its human form appeared again.
This time it kept forming slowly, taking minutes to take shape. These minutes passed over William like an entire lifetime. He got nothing to defend against all the golden dust, nor knew any technique to do to even heal himself.
He was here in a fog form, without having his rings or belongings, not even his gears. He had to endure, while waiting for the monster to take shape. As he was suffering like this, he was sure Arthur and others were also struggling as well.
Yet Arthur didn't say anything, as he and others knew this scene was worth such suffering. Slowly the final shape of the human form of the monster appeared. And this time it was a bit bigger than what it appeared before.
William didn't know what should happen. That shape appeared alone and stood there for an entire minute without showing anything else. William thought a scene would appear where he'd be able to see the weakness of this monster, perhaps watching it get severely wounded or something, but that didn't happen.
