Chapter 1244: The Holy Trial Mystic Art
"If she just fought properly and directly sent her forces to attack the town, things would be quite easy to handle," William sighed while going to check on the three he left to train underground, "but she'll always lean to sneaky attacks…"
He hoped his guild masters led by his core team and friends would make it harder for anyone to sneak into the town without getting spotted. Experience more magic at m v l e mpyr
"For now, I just need to check on these three, then train a little bit, and wait for her next move," he thought Sara's mother would take days before making a move. And he was quite mistaken about that.
"What's we got here?!" Just as he was lost in his thoughts about the selected masters, he felt something different around. Without knowing it, the underground rocky world he was walking in vanished, instead there was a thick layer of fog that he never saw before except when dealing with the black fox.
"This isn't his place, this isn't his fog," William's eyes constricted while he noticed the differences in this fog.
This fog looked like the black fox on the surface, but this fog was way lighter, also it gave William a different feeling.
"This…" As William was trying to see through the fog, the fog suddenly got thinner all of sudden, revealing a grand space that was quite familiar to him.
"Fate and destiny world?!!" he couldn't help but mutter these words, and the next instant an alien voice came, filled with immense shock, shouting at him.
"How the fck do you know about this world?!!!"
"You…" William's senses tried to see through the fog around, but couldn't find the man who just said, "show yourself!"
"I came here to kill a kid, and now this kid knows about this place, interesting," the man seemed to speak to himself without caring about what William demanded, "I planned to kill you fast, but let me take more time and know how a master from such low world knows about this prestigious world…"
"..."
William instantly jumped into the right conclusion in mere seconds when he heard what Jacky said.
"She sent you? Hahaha, no way, she picked someone knowing the Mystic Arts to kill me? Hahaha!"
William didn't feel threatened, instead he kept laughing on the entire situation. On the contrary what he said drove more doubt and little fear into the heart of Jacky.
"He knows about Mystic Arts, it's not a coincidence to know about the Fate and destiny world…" Jacky's thoughts started to drift towards William being a Mystic Art master like himself.
In fact, Jacky wasn't a big shot in Mystic Arts, he was even considered a big failure in the eyes of his past master. And yet fate led him to be present when Sara's mother killed his master, so he inherited a lot of very valuable scrolls about Mystic Arts.
If he was against a normal master, he'd not even flinch. But as William showed clear signs for him being a Mystic Art master, Jacky started to fear him.
"Can't be, he can't be that strong," yet he calmed down quite fast, "he is from a low world after all. Even if he is a Mystic Art master, he can't know a lot, right?"
He kept convincing himself about that, which was a good logic that didn't apply for William. The latter knew a lot of knowledge to make Jacky not only get scared but even turn around and run as far away from here as possible.
But Jacky didn't know that. And soon enough he'd regret not listening to the alarm sounds in his spirit.
"Come on, show yourself," William on the other hand was calm. The main issue about using Mystic Arts for him was to get into the Fate and Destiny world. And Jacky just gave him a free invite over this world.
William didn't know how Jacky did it, but he was so curious to know the way. If he learnt about the method, it'd solve tons of problems for him. And that was why he was luring Jacky out.
"Not a chance," but Jacky decided to use force against him, "I'll kill you first then go and get my promised prize."
"I can pay, I'm not that poor," William tried to play on the tone that might appeal to Jacky, but he was mistaken this time.
"That reward can't be given by anyone but her, so drop it already and get ready to die," Jacky finished his words and suddenly the fog around started to swirl.
"And here we begin," seeing this didn't scare William, instead he stood calmly watching and waiting to see what was going to happen next.
"Everything in this world is ruled by deeds," Jacky's voice came deep as if he was saying a ritual or something, "good you do and you get rewarded, bad you do and you get punished… Let's punish you kid…"
"Oh, Karma Mystic Art master, incredible," William's eyes shone brightly when he heard what Jacky said. And the words he said infused huge amounts of fear into Jacky's body, making the latter's body tremble on its own.
"Let Fate and Destiny world judge you; I summon the Holy Trial… Ah!"
The moment he called this trial thing and things started to hit bad for Jacky. The Mystic Art he used was considered the strongest thing he ever learnt in his entire life. He rarely used it as the scroll he got from his past master clearly warned against overusing this Mystic Art.
It was a double-edged weapon. Just like any Mystic Art, failing in executing it would result in a backlash. And this backlash was considered quite fatal for any master regarding this art.
Yet he never expected William to have something up his sleeve to stop the art. The moment he called the trial and the world of fog swirled even faster and more disturbance occurred. It happened the same way Jacky used to see whenever he used this art. But this time there was a slight difference.
