Seeing that, both Yeurquin and Meilani hurried over to him. âHowâs Geraldâs condition, master?â asked Yeurquin in a concerned tone. âHeâs fine for now, though heâll need to recuperate properly for the next few days. Until then, do take care of him. While Iâd love to stay, I must leave now to deal with some affairs,â replied Sumeru before leaping off and disappearing almost instantaneously. While Sumeru hadnât specified what exactly he needed to do, Yeurquin and his daughter had a hunch that he was going to avenge Gerald. Whatever the case was, both of them then quickly headed into the room to check on Gerald. Sitting by his bed, they couldnât help but worry when they saw how pale and feeble he now looked. After all, he had suffered from terrible internal injuries. Thankfully, Sumeru had successfully repaired Geraldâs internal breathing shield, and the only minor drawback to this incident was the fact that he needed a few days to properly recuperate⊠A little while later i
When Gerald awoke the next day, he was greeted by the sight of his masterâwho had his eyes closedâsitting by his bed. Attempting to get up, Gerald immediately realized that his entire body was aching⊠He couldnât even sit up! At that moment, Sumeru suddenly opened his eyes. Realizing that Gerald had regained consciousness, he instantly smiled as he said, âGerald! Youâre awake!â âMaster, IâŠâ âDonât worry, youâll be fine. Youâre just suffering from some internal injuries at the moment. Youâll be as fit as a fiddle soon enough as long as you recuperate properly for the next few days!â replied Sumeru before Gerald was even able to finish his question. Hearing that, Gerald fell silent⊠Shortly after, knocking could be heard from his roomâs door. Walking over to open it, Sumeru saw that it was Meilani who was here to bring Gerald his breakfast. After entering the room, Meilani placed Geraldâs breakfast on his table before asking in a concerned tone, âHow do you feel, Gerald?
âEither way, make sure you rest up properly in the coming days! You can leave handling anything else to us!â added Nori. Upon hearing that, Gerald understood that he didnât really have any other choice but to obey. With that, he lay back down to recuperate⊠Early in the morning a few days later, JunoâMeilaniâs elder sisterâcould be seen knocking on Geraldâs door before asking, âGerald? Are you awakeâŠ?â After waiting for quite a while and getting no response, Juno couldnât help but raise a slight brow as she opened the door⊠only to find that he wasnât even inside! âWhere could he have gone? He couldnât have just left, could he?â Juno thought to herself in bewilderment. Frowning slightly, she had an idea of where else Gerald could possibly be⊠With that in mind, she quickly headed to the back garden to see if he was there. Just as she had thought, Juno was instantly greeted by the sight of Gerald and Leit Query meditating on stone benches upon arriving at the back garden. Wi
Upon hearing that, Gerald simply turned to look at Gerald before bluntly replying, âWhat of it? I was just born with a big appetite!â Shaking his head, Gerald simply zipped his mouth, worried that Juno would flip the table over if he pressed on. Regardless, the duo then headed to Dragonblood Cityâs training court after finishing their breakfast. In the Leicom Continent, each city had its own training court, and such places were used to host all sorts of yearly competitions. Of course, training courts were also used as formal places for those proficient in martial arts to train and battle. Either way, by the time they got to the training court, many people were already sparring against each other. Upon realizing Junoâs presence, everyone there instantly displayed respectful expressions, even going so far as to offer Juno their sparring areas. From that alone, it was evident that Juno still had a pretty large influence in Dragonblood City. After all, powerful people were alwa
Naturally, Gerald wasnât commenting on the attack itself. While her attack style was definitely powerful, what he meant was that before attacking, she often left herself wide open to be countered. Adding that to the fact that she never changed her attack style, any opponent stronger than her could most definitely be able to see through her attack patterns in time. It explained why Gerald was able to defeat her so easily. The only reason why she had been able to win all the previous times was because the enemies she bumped into were far weaker than her. With that in mind, they probably didnât have the chance or experience to analyze Junoâs attack patterns. Gerald, however, was much stronger than her. What more, he had been personally trained by Leit, and he even had unique opinions and analysis on martial arts skills and attack tactics. Regardless, after hearing Junoâs question, Gerald replied in a serious tone, âThink about it. From what Iâve seen, you tend to only focus on attac
After declaring that, Gerald was ready to leave together with Nori and Ray. No matter the risks, he definitely had to save both Zelig and Cyril! Before he could leave, however, he suddenly heard Juno call out, âWait a minute, Gerald!â âYes, Young Lady Zorn? If it isnât anything important, Iâd very much prefer it if you saved it for later! I need to focus on saving my friends now!â replied Gerald. âCalm yourself, Gerald! Listen, if you werenât already aware, the master of the Hulkeroic Union has already entered the Third rank of the Avatar Realm! With that in mind, simply charging there is no different from going on a suicide mission!â explained Juno. Aside from Gerald who had already entered the Avatar Realm, the othersâwho were still in the Sage Realmâwouldnât stand a chance against the stronger members of the Hulkeroic Union. With that in mind, Juno didnât want them to just throw their lives away like that. âEven if you say that, I canât just leave them there!â replied Gera
âWhile itâs great that we know all that, how on earth are we going to get past the Hulkeroic Unionâs tight security? Even from here, we can already see how heavily guarded they now are! Hell, theyâve even set up patrol teams! With that in mind, weâll definitely get caught if we head in rashly!â muttered Ray in response. Hearing that, Gerald and the others knew that Ray was right. With how strict the Hulkeroic Unionâs security currently was, it was evident that those from that union were expecting Gerald to come save the duo. It was certainly a death trap like no other⊠ââŠAnyone have any ideas on how we should tackle this? What about you, Young Lady Zorn?â asked Gerald as he looked at Juno. Upon hearing his question, Juno began pondering as well. While they already knew where the hostages were, saving them was going to prove extremely difficult⊠ââŠThe only thing I can think of is to lure them away from the base⊠Aside from that, I have no other idea how weâll even make it into t
Once they were over the wall, all three of them quickly scanned the area. After confirming that all the unionâs men were still distracted by the fire, Gerald and his party quickly snuck past the unionâs main hall before heading straight for the dungeon⊠Nearing the corner that would lead to the dungeon, Gerald and the two others peeked to see if anyone was guarding the dungeonâs entrance. Thankfully, there only appeared to be two people standing guard there. With that in mind, after making sure that they hadnât been noticed yet, Gerald then retrieved his Astrabyss Sword before unsheathing it⊠Following that, Gerald bolted toward one of the guards before expertly slicing his throat! Barely even able to react, blood instantly gushed out of the guardâs now exposed throat⊠And just like that, he flopped to the ground, dead. Upon realizing that his companion was no longer among the living, the other man instantly drew his own sword and attempted to decapitate Gerald! Of course,
Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, âW-what powerâŠ!â As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, âAttackâŠ!â And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire skyâŠ! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Darylâs devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! âNoâŠ!â 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⊠âDarling, itâs your brotherâs wedding day today⊠Shouldnât we head over earlier? Youâve been dolling yourself up for ages!â âFine, dad⊠Though, isnât Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brotherâs gone through so many hardsh
âDarylâs been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfatherâs 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!â âIn order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lordâs efforts, theyâve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?â explained Finnley. ââŠSo thatâs the truth⊠Then, howâs Mila?â asked Gerald. âSheâs fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!â replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hear⊠Still, as it turned out, the Sun League werenât 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 didnât take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish powerâŠ! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sectâs master scoffed, âI 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 wonât save you this time!â Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, ââŠWho on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?â Laughing in response, the master then said, âOh, youâll 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 supremeâŠ!â Upon hearing that, Gerald couldnât help but frown even more.
ââŠThis formation. It feels⊠familiar,â muttered Sanchez. âSame thought here. I think itâs the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!â replied Gerald. âAh, no wonder it felt so familiar⊠Though, wasnât this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?â 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 sectâs 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, âI read about it somewhere. Ho
Upon hearing Geraldâs question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locating⊠and it wasnât 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, ââŠTheseâŠâ Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, ââŠI take it that the herbalist theyâre looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?â ââŠWell, itâs hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasnât right⊠Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?â muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. âI really canât sayâŠ! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!â replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. ââŠIs that the truth?â âI swear on my life!â exc
âFlaxen, you bloody traitorâŠ!â 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, âWho⊠Who the hell are you peopleâŠ?!ââYou donât need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,â scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.ââŠWho the hell do you think you are? What makes you think Iâll comply so easily?â 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 manâs arms!âIf you want your other limbs intact, donât make me repeat the question,â 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 Zemanâs books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, âSo, they want to ambush some herb lady⊠Is she the one weâre looking for?â 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, âI had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!â Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldnât 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 Darylâs hideout⊠Hopefully the Yinblood pelletâthat was now in his handsâwould aid with that effort⊠As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearlâs instructions. After all, heâd only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Geraldâs 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 couldnât help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that theyâd 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, âYouâre really something else, GeraldâŠ! 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 generalâs tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!â âOh, donât you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, Iâm sure youâll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone! Speaking of which, if youâre already thinking about killing me t
