William got his three spirit elents from the silver monster he killed and absorbed its soul before.
"I can't form clones, and I don't have any ti to train over techniques that will generate clones. In theory I can't do it like that damn monster, but I have another way… I hope it works…"
William's idea was simple. Instead of making clones, he decided to use his spirit elents separately, leaving behind the one he wanted to activate in his spirit.
Of course, darkness was brutal and useful, but it was also used by his enemies. So it was foolish to use the sa weapon his foes had, and it was better to use one that would negate the enemy's strength instead.
So, he got to select between light and lightning. The forr was brutal and explosive, and the latter was deadly and got a purifying effect in it.
William knew if he used the light elent quite well, then there would be no one to rival him even one grade higher. But he wasn't adept at all in using that elent.
During his past life, his sole weakness lay in his lack of good spirit elents. And in this life, he kept depending more on the lightning elent.
So, he decided to stir up his spirit using the lightning elent first. Of course, he could activate his spirit using the other two elents, but he had first to get himself familiar with the right way to do it.
And before anything else, he had to know if this theory would work in the first place or not. He had no other idea but this.
To make use of his darkness and light elents, he got to use two techniques at the sa ti. The darkness elent was already stirred up in the final version of the Holy Sword strike. But if he used that move, he'd also use the lightning elent as well.
"I will start with the darkness technique, moving fast, then use the light move with my sword. This way it will be like starting the Holy Sword strike of mine but with a darkness elent in the place of the lightning one…"
He knew in theory, this would work. But actually, there was no guarantee it would. After all, he was going to use two antagonising elents at the sa ti, and it'd make perfect sense to expect them to clash and fight, not rge peacefully together.
William didn't need this strike to work. He just wanted a single mont, a chance to stir up his spirit at the ti his other two spirit elents were busy by his technique.
*Boom!*
Just as he expected, the first attempt ended up with a big failure. The two elents went berserk, but that wasn't the thing that made him jump in the air, land in agony and twitch his body over the ground like he was having a seizure or sothing.
"Sh*t! Trying to stir that spirit ended up with stirring that damn darkness elent!"
Everything just went exactly as he envisioned it. The two elents got busy in executing the technique, and even that little fight that started between them helped in making things easier for his lightning elent to get stirred up.
But the mont he was this close from success, the darkness elent kicked in. it was like a sleeping beast inside his spirit. And just before his spirit would get activated at last, the darkness gushed out and crushed the lightning elent.
That darkness crushed everything, leaving his body weak and numb. To add more to his miserable state, the fight between the two elents exploded and his body ended up twitching for long seconds before everything got settled down.
It was indeed a hellish experience, but he learnt a lot from it.
"The theory is correct, in general concept at least," William sat with utmost difficulty on the ground, took out the potion he extorted from Ben, and drank two drops at this mont.
He felt his body as if it got washed clean by a refreshing cold water. It felt great, and William's fatigue and pain started to vanish fast.
"That darkness elent… Even trying all this in the dayti didn't help at all! It's unstoppable!"
William knew by this failed attempt that if he tried to stir up his spirit using the darkness elent alone, then he'd succeed. However, that wasn't good news at all.
He didn't want to use any darkness elent in activating his spirit. He wanted to use the lightning or even light elent instead.
"Worrying about which elent I shall use isn't going to work… I shall first try and see the end result of using this thod. Then I'll worry about which elent to use…"
He muttered while giving his body enough ti to recuperate and heal. He decided to let go of all the deep worries about the right elent to use and focus instead on activating his spirit first.
He was fighting all this ti without the biggest asset any spirit master with a unique spirit would use. Having a darkness spirit wasn't going to be this bad, at least he got another weapon to use.
Even if his enemies were adept at using darkness spirits, it didn't an it'd end up that bad for him. He fought all this ti and won, crushed all the enemies he faced, and that was without even using his spirit even once.
So, he started to change his mindset and began to accept the idea of activating his spirit with the darkness elent as a gain and not a loss.
He didn't hurry to stand up. Aside from the pain he felt and the exhaustion his body suffered during the past failed attempt; his spirit power got depleted by more than seventy percent.
It was mainly thanks to the fierce clashes that happened between his three spirit elents. And so, he spent one hour replenishing his lost spirit power before doing anything else.
