Each time his sword hit something, that body of fog would dissipate slowly in front of his eyes. And yet, things were literally different in the real world.

"This…"

"Is he back?!!"

"Damn! He even grew stronger, fighting such a crazy number of enemies with eyes closed!!!"

The timing of William's move was really brilliant! He just started moving around, flashing and hitting the incoming monsters just when the number of monsters started to rapidly grow.

Almost half an hour passed, the same time Thomas expected for the main bulk of monsters to arrive here and threaten them.

Many exclaimed in disbelief while watching their valiant leader flashing like crazy, fighting in between the growing number of monsters, taking anything he met down.

"Follow the boss!" Without even thinking twice about it, Ibra knew if they were left behind, it'd be the end of them. He was like everyone else here, didn't get what was going on with William. But to him, the path to surviving this was totally clear in his eyes.

Against all these enemies, William was the only one able to destabilise their formation, kill many of them, while clearing out a safe path for the team to follow.

As he shouted, the entire team got jolted awake and moved in one big group, running after William. The latter kept killing monsters without a moment of pause, not even stopping for a second there to catch his breaths.

He kept flashing right and left, back and forth, killing everything he could reach. And soon enough, his team caught up with him.

In that weird world, William was feeling more puzzled. As he moved forward, he found out that he returned back to the same spot he arrived at before. It felt like he was walking in circles. "Wait… There is a new path out there…"

But just when he was puzzled, he noticed when he flashed to hit another group of shadows that the path up ahead bifurcated up into two paths and not just one.

He didn't get what was going on here, but he got a theory to work on. "Let me first clear the two paths and see if this is true or not…" he got the idea that this was like a trial for him.

Clearing the enemies in one path would let him return to point zero. But a new path would appear, and more enemies would pop up. And so the way out of here began to glare in his mind. If he managed to clear all the shadows he met, then he'd end up getting more paths opened, ending up with one that'd take him out of here.

Of course, all this was just a theory, and soon enough he tested and proved it was correct. He kept flashing, feeling that he wasn't limited by his spirit power anymore.

He even tried to use the full power of his technique, hitting the enemies after dashing around for several times, charging up his technique before releasing a deadly explosion around.

He succeeded in doing so like usual, but never felt any weakness or exhaustion at all, didn't feel like he exhausted any of his spirit power. It felt like he tapped into a limitless source of spirit power at this moment. And so, he started to freely fight without any worries.

"This…" but soon enough two new things happened here. He was in the middle of fighting in one path, and right now he had five paths to clear.

Just as he passed by a point, he found a different form of shadows. "This… They look more like humans…" he noticed that the shapes the fog took weren't like monsters, but like humans. And that wasn't all. Even the colour of the fog changed. "A green colour? What does it even mean? Friendly perhaps?"

William didn't get any time to think as more black shadows appeared, taking the form of different monsters. And just as he killed these, he found out that the green shadows were trying to follow him, helping him in taking down more shadows as well.

"I guess it's safe to assume they are on my side," William nodded, but then a new change appeared.

Just as he kept these green folks running after him, helping him to clear the hostile black shadows around, a new form appeared there.

"What's this? Red human shadows? Are they friends or enemies?" William waited for a few more seconds, before he finally got what these red silhouettes meant.

They came at him and the green human shadows around, attacking both it seemed. William didn't feel anything, but he could tell the green shadows were struggling, getting pushed away back into the fog around.

"No way!" William didn't get what the hell was going on here, but he wouldn't be fool enough to let his supporters get back into the shadows.

There were around sixty of them, and that number was weirdly matching his team members. If not for him to know it was impossible for his team to come here, where this supposedly test of his levelling up was going on, then he'd be sure of the identity of those green folks.

His best guess was that whatever universal force was behind this test, the one he never heard about or experienced before, then it was trying to help him and give him shadows resembling his team.

Least to his knowledge that his earlier hypothesis, the crazy one that he ditched away, was true! This was indeed his team, and these red figures marked the arrival of the dark spirit masters to this crazy battle.

Out there in the real world, things were indeed quite scary and crazy. William was now taking the form of a grand fox, slaughtering all the monsters standing in his path.

From behind, his team was struggling to keep up. Every time he dashed and flashed, a scary explosion occurred, leaving behind a deep crater and a scary shockwave that killed and wounded a lot.
