‘…Could… I have heard wrong…? There’s just no way, right…?’ Giya thought to herself as she slowly looked around in disbelief, trying to find the source of that shout. However, the second she saw him, she was so shocked that she felt that she was possibly still dreaming! She wanted to say something, anything. But it felt like a lump in her throat was preventing her from saying a word… As for Sia, she turned to look at Gerald—who was already walking toward the stage—before shouting in surprise, “Huh? You… Know that woman, Gerald?” “Hah! I guess that loser was so entranced by her that he couldn’t help but walk over! From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who has the money to buy her over through auctioning either!” scoffed Beau. “Who exactly is he? How rude! If he ends up offending Young Master Turnbull, he’ll definitely end up dead soon! With that said, let’s keep our distance from him!” muttered Yosef with a frown. Though Sia wanted to at least try to
With contemptuous glares on their faces, the seven men then began crouching, looking very much like vicious wolves that were planning to pounce onto Gerald! Their stance was so terrifying that everyone else instantly held their breaths! “Oh god, it looks like they’re positioning themselves to hack this insensible guy to pieces!” “Humph! It’s his own fault for courting death! Still, I do wonder if he’s unaware of the power the Turnbulls have in Yanam. After all, he dared to offend Young Master Turnbull of all people! Whatever the case is, once he’s dealt with, his family members will surely be next!” Though most of the people offstage were sneering at Gerald, Sia herself was feeling deeply anxious. Turning to look to her side, she then pleaded, “Young Master Jenks! Fia! Hurry and figure out a way to save him! Use your families’ powers or something! He couldn’t help it he just wanted to save that woman…!” However, both of them simply returned cold expressions to her. “Sia,
Following a cold smile, Gerald slashed the air with two of his fingers, prompting a blade of light to form! As it instantly flew in Baelfire’s direction, Lenox attempted to stop it from proceeding any further. However, he ended up freezing in place the second he realized how strong the blade really was. That power… Nobody would’ve been able to stop it! “Y-young master…!” shouted the horrified Lenox as he watched Baelfire get sliced into eight pieces in no time flat! With how terribly he had died, the atmosphere quickly grew exceedingly suffocating… Lenox himself was momentarily stunned in his utter disbelief… Who could blame him? He had just witnessed the horrifying death of the only son of the richest man in Yanam! That youth had control over half the economy there! Now that all this had happened, Lenox was now having so much trouble imagining what was to come that his ears started ringing. Eventually, the pale-faced middle-aged man then turned to look at Gerald before s
Everyone else had their eyes widened in incredulity as well, now finally realizing that the person on stage was none other than the one and only Mr. Crawford of Sacrasolis Palace! As everyone remained momentarily shocked, Carlos broke the silence by saying, “So, Mr. Crawford, what should we do with this person?” From the way he said it, it was clear that Carlos cared little about the consequences, and the same went for Gerald’s other men on stage. The only one who had initially been slightly hesitant was Yeshua, who had planned on advising Gerald not to mess with the Turnbulls. After all, they were a top major family who owned over half of Yanam’s wealth! What more, those in the Turnbull family were also relatives of the King of Yanam! In short, that family had a deeply-rooted position there… With that in mind, the fact that Mr. Crawford had just killed Hooper Turnbull’s only son spelled nothing but complete disaster! Even so, after realizing how much Carlos and the others re
The second she felt him grabbing onto her arm, the initially shocked woman quickly became infuriated as she shouted, “You…! How dare you…?!” Following that, a layer of draconic scales that glowed scarlet could faintly be seen on her arm! As the glow grew brighter, Gerald could feel a rapidly increasing heat on his palm, prompting him to release his grip before taking two steps back. It was at that moment when the woman finally turned to face her wrathful gaze at Gerald, her charming face now reddened in anger as she snapped, “How dare you behave so imprudently toward me!” Upon getting a good look at her face, Gerald instantly began breathing much rapidly, now appearing even more emotionally moved than before! ‘Not only do you sound like her, but you look exactly like her too! I can now say with full certainty that I’ve finally found you, Mila…!’ “Please take a good, long look at me, Mila! Have you truly forgotten who I am? I’m Gerald! I’ve been tirelessly looking for you th
However, her train of thought was cut short when a pleasant voice called out, “Xoie? Xylina! Where have both of you been this entire time?” Hearing that, Xylina then replied, “Ah! Mila! Well, we were earlier-” Much to Xoie’s relief, Xylina managed to recall their earlier promise in time which prevented her from blurting out everything. Either way, after a slight nudge from Xoie, Xylina quickly recovered her wits as she continued, “…We… were earlier just having a look around out here! After all, the sea is rather beautiful at night, wouldn’t you say?” In response, Mila simply smiled subtly as she nodded before replying, “While I know it isn’t exactly easy to negotiate with the King in the North, you have to remember that our adoptive father specifically chose us to complete the task. With that in mind, while things are currently a little boring, we should really try to obey adoptive father’s orders and refrain from wandering around outside!” “We get it Mila… Regardless, I’ve b
The Turnbulls were a family that had existed for hundreds of years, and there were many exceptional and powerful people within that family who had influential backgrounds. Due to that, they had always behaved rather recklessly since nobody could really stand up against them. With all that in mind, Hooper had never imagined that his son would die so horribly. Hugging onto the many pieces of his son’s corpse, Hooper felt as a cocktail of grief, hatred, and wrath began brewing in his heart… Upon seeing his reaction, everyone sensible enough immediately took a few steps back. Still trembling, Hooper then turned to look at Lenox as he growled, “…Who… Who’s responsible for killing my son…?!” Quivering in fear, Lenox then replied, “T-the person who did it… is the one my family’s been looking everywhere for! The deed was done by Gerald!” “…What?! Gerald?!” roared Hooper, his eyes now a bloody-red as murderous intent exuded from every orifice on his body. Watching all this play out,
“Come again, master? You weren’t expecting him to get this powerful?” asked Greyson. “Indeed, I haven’t. Humph. I’ve truly looked down upon the Herculean Primordial Spirit’s power to bring drastic change to people… After all, Gerald’s been able to enter the Rune Realm in just a few years! It isn’t even a stretch anymore to say that his training level is on par with mine! No matter how you look at it, achieving something like this should be impossible, no matter how talented the person is!” “Whatever the case is, the most annoying thing about all this is the fact that the person who’s secretly been helping Gerald keeps encouraging him to grow stronger! If it wasn’t for him, Gerald wouldn’t have developed so rapidly to the point where I can’t even control him anymore! It’s exactly because of that that I have to act behind the scenes!” explained Daryl. Upon hearing that, both Hooper and Greyson drew in cold breaths. “The seven most powerful people from the Ringmasters of Obliterat
Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, “W-what power…!” As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, “Attack…!” And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire sky…! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Daryl’s devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! “No…!” howled the anguished Daryl as the earth beneath him cracked and clouds of dust flew everywhere! It was chaos incarnate… yet moments later, everything fell deathly silent. Gerald himself had already vomited a pool of blood by now, and as he fell unconscious, he could feel his body freezing up… Fast forward to three years later, Mayberry Commercial Street was as lively as ever… “Darling, it’s your brother’s wedding day today… Shouldn’t we head over earlier? You’ve been dolling yourself up for ages!” “Fine, dad… Though, isn’t Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brother’s gone through so many hardsh
‘Daryl’s been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfather’s body to attempt his resurrection! This cycle has been repeating for years, and the Supreme Devilish Lord has already captured many people with Yin physiques but thankfully failed! This grew so out of hand that the Soluna Deus Sect, or Sun League as you call them, have actively been trying to force the Supreme Devilish Lord to show himself!’ ‘In order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lord’s efforts, they’ve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?’ explained Finnley. ‘…So that’s the truth… Then, how’s Mila?’ asked Gerald. ‘She’s fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!’ replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hear… Still, as it turned out, the Sun League weren’t villains at all! They had simply been abducting people like his second uncle, Mila, and Leo for the
His chest felt like it was exploding, and it didn’t take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish power…! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sect’s master scoffed, “I know you raised your cultivation level this high because you want to learn more about the Sun League, but you should understand that devilish cultivators will always be stronger! Did you really think that acquiring the angelic inheritance would give you absolute power? How laughable! Your Herculean Primordial Spirit won’t save you this time!” Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, “…Who on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?” Laughing in response, the master then said, “Oh, you’ll know who I am soon! But before that, allow me to snatch your Herculean Primordial Spirit! I need to destroy it so that the sacred Primordial Devilish Internal Pellet can reign supreme…!” Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but frown even more.
“…This formation. It feels… familiar,” muttered Sanchez. “Same thought here. I think it’s the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!” replied Gerald. “Ah, no wonder it felt so familiar… Though, wasn’t this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?” asked the surprised Sanchez. The formation had been a legendary one that, as Sanchez had said, had been lost at the end of the ancient era. Just from its name alone, one could imagine that this immensely powerful formation had been used against the people of the Deitus Realm. In the end, however, the allies of the Deitus Realm still managed to destroy the Black Dragon Sect, thus leading to the destruction of all the sect’s other mysterious and bizarre formations… Naturally, they had made sure to obliterate all of them to ensure that nobody in the future would be able to threaten them like that again in the future… Whatever the case was, Gerald was quick to reply, “I read about it somewhere. Ho
Upon hearing Gerald’s question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locating… and it wasn’t long before Gerald felt his eyes twitch. After all, those samples were herbs inherited by the ancient witches… In other words, they were the ones he was for as well! Naturally, Marcel recognized them as well, and he was quick to say, “…These…” Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, “…I take it that the herbalist they’re looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?” “…Well, it’s hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasn’t right… Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?” muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. “I really can’t say…! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!” replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. “…Is that the truth?” “I swear on my life!” exc
“Flaxen, you bloody traitor…!” roared the three other lords who grew so angry that their faces went red!However, they had no time to remain angry since the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez had already made their move! As one would expect, it only took a single round for all three of the lords to crumble to the ground.With his eyes wide open, Lord Ethern stuttered, “Who… Who the hell are you people…?!”“You don’t need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,” scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.“…Who the hell do you think you are? What makes you think I’ll comply so easily?” growled Lord Ethren.Upon hearing that, Gerald raised his hand… and within a split second, Lord Ethern let out a bone-chilling wail. The Blancetnoir Double Lords had just snapped both of the poor man’s arms!“If you want your other limbs intact, don’t make me repeat the question,” growled Gerald.Now terrified, the agonized man replied,
From what Gerald could tell, all of them were devilish cultivators. After all, their auras were way different compared to regular cultivators like Gerald and demonic cultivators like Sanchez. Though he had read about devilish cultivators before in one of Uncle Zeman’s books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, “So, they want to ambush some herb lady… Is she the one we’re looking for?” Sanchez, for one, had pretty much been frowning throughout his journey with Gerald. His only hope at the moment was for Gerald to find the person he was looking for as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew how long that boy would continue controlling his life! Regardless, Marcel was quick to add, “I had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!” Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldn’t help but scoff,
There were two straightforward purposes of the trip. The first was to find Phoebe, the descendant of the ancient witches. Only by finding her would Gerald have a chance to locate Daryl’s hideout… Hopefully the Yinblood pellet—that was now in his hands—would aid with that effort… As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearl’s instructions. After all, he’d only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Gerald’s cultivation level was currently one of the highest in all of the cultivation realm, the fact remained that Daryl practiced devilish cultivation, and those from the Soluna Deus Sect were already in the Deitus Realm. In other words, he was merely an ant to them, which was why he was making sure to fully prepare himself before confronting them. Though he now had Sanchez and the Blancetnoir Double Lords under his command, he still felt that he was underprepared… Re
Now that all three of them had been subdued with the Nineraid Band, the other big shot cultivators couldn’t help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that they’d never be able to obtain his angelic artifacts. After all, if he could take down the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez, then what chance did they have? By this point, Sanchez had managed to get to his feet, albeit with quite a bit of difficulty. Naturally, he no longer dared to make any rash moves on Gerald. Instead, he was prompted to resentfully say, “You’re really something else, Gerald…! It makes me wonder why you still need our help. After all, not only are you the sole person who knows the secrets of the general’s tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!” “Oh, don’t you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, I’m sure you’ll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone! Speaking of which, if you’re already thinking about killing me t
