Chapter 40: Bell Royale [3]
"Damn!" William blurted out, witnessing Lucien slay another peak Recruit realm spirit beast without breaking a sweat.
"Didn't you say that your spirit energy reserve was almost gone?" He added, "What's all this?"
"It was," Lucien replied, prying out the spirit energy core, "I am not using any energy until the finishing blow."
For the last 45 minutes, William had been slaying and defeating nearly two-thirds of the threats coming their way.
But the third of them were being dealt with by Lucien, who was not only a lot worse than William, but also was barely using any spirit energy.
"You would definitely place in the top three, dude," William said, letting out an impressed whistle.
"I am trying." The tiredness was catching up to him, his muscles felt sore.
"But one thing I gotta say, though," William also harvested the spirit beast core out of his own hunt, "You are a treasure trove for these.
"It's like calamity is attracted towards you. Now I know why you were so battered when I met you."
Lucien nodded, sitting on the ground to regain whatever energy he could. "As long as nothing happens now, we should be passing easily now."
William nodded and sat down.
