Is that a Wisp?

chapter-834
*Boom!*
As soon as that happened, the building fell to the ground. The Spirit Awakener Guild had finally stopped. However, the calamity it caused on the city wouldn't be cleared up anytime soon. First of all, they needed to send it back to where it came from. It couldn't be left in the middle of the city like this.
"Phew... It's over."
Krune then looked at Roben before asking.
"Putting that aside, I finished awakening my shield. I should be considered a Spirit Awakener now, right?"Roben's mouth twitched in response. How can this guy talk as if he hasn't done anything at all?
"Passed your head! How do you expect to pay for all the damage you've caused?"
Krune was puzzled by those worlds.
"I caused? No one told me that the building would suddenly awaken a Spirit. That was your fault for not considering this possibility. If even your Spirit Awakener Guild couldn't predict such a thing, how do you expect someone like me to do so?"
Roben wanted nothing more than to send that guy flying with a kick. Unfortunately, he couldn't come up with an answer. Krune was just 1st Stage Godly Fusion Realm cultivator. That was his first Spirit Awakening Test, so he obviously didn't know anything about it before. However, even the Spirit Awakener Guild didn't expect such a thing either. They had never seen someone trying to awaken one Spirit before ending up awakening everything on the surroundings either.
*Bang!*
Suddenly, the gate of the building was kicked open as several figures entered the building. However, they were all on their guards since they could feel that the building was still alive. It's just that it wasn't moving at the moment. Eventually, they noticed Krune and Roben on the other side.Roben was taken aback for a moment before quickly getting back up on his feet. Following that, he bowed to the man at the front of the group.
"Guild Master Dima."
Dima narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two and asked.
"Care to explain what the hell just happened? How did our Spirit Awakener Guild suddenly awaken a Spirit?"
"This..."
Roben then glanced at Krune, who didn't seem to be very worried. It was obvious that the wisp didn't think that it was his fault at all.
Dima saw how Roben looked at Krune before asking.
"Are you the one who awoken the Guild's Spirit?"
Krune nodded as he replied.
"Yes. However, I didn't know such a thing was possible. It was all an accident."
Dima had a lot more things to say. However, he decided to put that aside for now.
"Forget it. I'll talk about it with you later. For now, we need to think about a way to put the building back in its place to help with the chaos outside. The other guilds and the city lord are all there, waiting for us to do something about this."
An elder on Dima's side then mentioned.
"Can't Guild Leader do that with your Semi-God Realm cultivation? Or could it be that it's too big?"
Dima shook his head as he replied.
"I can't. Did you forget? Other than just the building, there are quite a decent amount of formations that would prevent my powers from working. Besides, it is as you said. This building is too big. Chances are that I will drop it and further increase the chaos."
Krune pondered for a bit before suggesting.
"Oh! I think I know one way."
Krune then got up and moved outside the building, followed by everyone from the Spirit Awakener Guild. There, they met up with the City Lord and the other Guild Masters.
"Dima, you need to do something about this. Also, you better understand that the price to repair everything will be shouldered by your Awakener Guild."
Dima shrugged his shoulders as he said in response.
"Do you think my Spirit Awakener Guild can't pay it? Don't worry, we'll pay for the damage to the city. Fortunately, no one died, so the rest can be fixed."
The City Lord and the rest nodded. They knew very well how much God Stones a Spirit Awakener could make with a single Spirit Awakening, so they didn't doubt Dima's words.
"By the way, how are you going to move it back?"
Dima then looked at Krune, who was moving behind the building, which was also the direction it came from. Krune just said that he could do it but didn't tell them how. But then, Krune began to talk.
"Little Guildy, come with Papa. It's time to go home. Come, come!"
In an instant, everyone's mouths twitched.
'Is this guy making fun of our faces?'
The guild trembled a little but didn't do anything other than that.
"Is he an idiot? There's no way it would follow him now that it has awakened."
Krune didn't seem to care about what the others were saying, though. Instead, he smiled and turned around before walking away.
"Is he trying to escape?"
"Escape? With his First Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm cultivation? Ha! Ridiculous!"
"That shouldn't be it. Who would escape without even trying to run? He's just walking."
"Should we stop him?"
Dima pondered for a bit before saying.
"Just wait a bit. Let's see what he's trying to do. He can't really escape from us, after all."
"But he isn't trying to do anything either."
Krune then glanced behind at the guild as he threatened.
"Are you sure you wanna stay? Alright, you can stay alone there."
Suddenly...
*Rumble!*
The building seemed to answer Krune's words as it began to lift itself from the ground again.
*Ah, ah, ah, ah..*
Just like a child, the building felt frightened to be left alone without its parent. This gigantic building that could smash most people and demon beasts of the city was afraid of being left behind.
*bam, bam, bam...*
It immediately began to clumsily walk as it followed Krune from behind.
"Good girl. Papa will give you a reward after we go back."
After hearing that, everyone thought simultaneously.
'It's... a girl?'
And just like that, a 'baby' building went back to where the Awakener Guild's building previously was. Krune had some difficulty explaining to it how it should sit down again. However, after several failures, the building finally rested on its position once again. Well, it's just that the entire area was full of cracks and broken things.
Krune finally let out a sigh of relief as he said.
"Phew... Good girl. Now stay there and don't leave unless I say it."
Krune began to ponder what he should give as a reward for a... building... However, he didn't have time to do that. As soon as the Spirit Awakener Guild stopped, Dima and the other elders of the guild rushed inside before touching the floor. Following that, they used their power to connect to the Building's Spirit.
"Now!"
*Ahhhh!*
The building then let out a scream of pain as it trembled all over. However, that only lasted one second before it went completely silent once more.
"This..."
Krune was shocked by what he saw. He didn't even have time to react at all. The Guild Master and the elders had moved too fast.
"They killed the Building's Spirit."
Even so, Krune didn't get angry. He knew that they simply couldn't let the building act on its own again since it could cause havoc in the city. As much as he didn't like to see the Spirit he awakened dying, he couldn't do anything about it. Once again, it came to that discussion about whether it was right or wrong to kill Equipment Spirits. Unfortunately, it would stay without an answer.
Last but not least, Krune knew of another problem. The building's Spirit was bound to die in the next one to two days. The same could be said for the other pieces of equipment that wanted Krune to finish waking them up.
"Sigh... Sorry, little girl. There was nothing I could do for you."
Inside the building, Dima sighed in relief.
"It's finally over."
Following that, he gave everyone a few orders.
"Have the accountants calculate all the damage in the city. Have the guild employees start fixing the guild. The elders should go out and apologize to the other guilds and the City Lord as well. Tell them that I will hear their requests after everything is settled down."
"Yes, Guild Master."
Soon after, he looked at Krune and Roben before saying.
"You two, come with me. Bring Zap as well."
Krune and Roben nodded, quickly following Dima.
Inside Dima's room, the whole place was upside down. His desk and other furniture had broken apart or were out of place. Documents could be seen everywhere too. However, Dima quickly using his Godly Energy and grabbed all of that. He put the broken furniture in his Spatial Ring and reorganized the rest. Not too long after, the room was organized again. It's just that it lacked a few things that he would buy later.
Finally, he returned his attention to Krune, Roben, and Zap. As for the other Equipment Spirits that Krune almost woke up, they already began to lose consciousness. He hasn't finished awakening them, so they would return to be just a few pieces of equipment.
"Now then, explain to me what happened."
Roben nodded and recounted everything that happened.
"So it was true... I saw the other equipment outside that had their spirits partially awakened. If not because of this incident, I would be more shocked by that instead."
Dima then paid attention to Krune.
"Just how did you do that? Spirit Awakening should have been the hardest profession out there. I've never heard about someone awakening more than one Spirit, let alone so many of them. Can you show me that black cloud Roben and Zap talked about?"
Krune nodded, not minding it too much. Immediately, he concentrated on the Calamity Laws. The dark cloud then appeared on his hand a few moments later. After seeing that, Dima's eyes lit up.
"Interesting."
