Chapter 1072
As the Master of the Desert had earlier said, the monster was near bulletproof due to its extremely tough skin. “What?!” shouted Wynn, stunned. Even though the bullet didn’t hurt it, the beast was enraged by Wynn’s attack! Rushing toward him, the beast then got on its feet and grabbed Wynn by his collar before tossing him into the air! Seconds later, Wynn found himself crashing back down onto the sand. After a brief moment, he began spurting out blood from his mouth as well! “H-how strong!” stuttered Professor Yale who had gone pale from fright as he led his group of researchers toward the back. With Wynn now out of the way, the beast turned to face Gerald again, its main target from the very beginning. Just by looking at him, she could already sense how strong and vicious Gerald was. The moment she rushed at him, Gerald sent her flying back with a strong kick! Though the beast had thick skin, Gerald was still a semi-great master. In other words, there was no way it could h

After running for quite a while, Gerald finally arrived at the Thousand Sand Ridge. Upon arriving, he quickly found out why the area had been named the way it was. With probably no less than a thousand sand dunes overlapping each other, the inspiration for the area’s name was evident. However, even after looking around for a while, he still couldn’t find the ancient well that the Master of the Desert had mentioned about. It was sometime later—after walking around for quite a bit—when his nose picked up an odd scent, prompting him to look down. At his feet was a pool of blood! Squinting his eyes, he saw that the blood had traces of dark green in it. That alone was enough to tell him that the blood belonged to the beast. While Capra Nanny hadn’t initially reacted much after Gerald’s Dawnbreaker struck her chest, Gerald was sure that he had successfully harmed the beast, consequently causing it great discomfort. After all, no matter how strong the other party’s defenses were, th

“Lies! I would never mistake you for someone else!” replied Giya almost instantaneously as she clung on tighter while wiping the tears off her face with her free hand. “Miss, my name is Xadrian… I truly have no idea who this Gerald person is! Could he be the person who carried you that you mentioned before…? Do I look that similar to him?” asked Gerald in an indifferent tone. Gerald had plenty of time to practice his poker face since he had been doing so from the moment he first bumped into Giya that day. After looking at how indifferent his expression was, she slowly began feeling that she truly was unfamiliar with the strange man. What more, his voice was different from the Gerald she knew. The Gerald Giya had fallen for was rather thin, quiet, and had fair skin. While the person before her resembled him a lot, he was a lot more muscular, stronger, and slightly tanner than Gerald. Still, could two people living on the same planet truly look so alike…? “…Well, yes… Both

“Well, the only way to find out is by trying to push it open, right?” added Meredith. “Indeed. While I do so, you girls should back away a bit!” replied Gerald with a nod. Based on the rumors his grandfather had heard from around the world—and subsequently told Gerald—treasures could usually be found hidden in places guarded by strange beasts or monsters. The picture of the sun itself was discovered by his family’s ancestors within a cave that was located in a dense forest. It was guarded—at the time—by a large, man-eating white ape, and many of his ancestors lost their lives before finally succeeding in retrieving the picture. Since Gerald was already here anyway, he may as well just go in and have a look. Gerald had told the girls to back off earlier since with how heavy the stone gate looked, he knew he needed to use his inner strength to open it. He was afraid that if they stood too close to him, they could end up getting hurt. Once they were at a safe distance, Gerald

Upon walking over to have a look for himself, he had to agree with her on how strange they looked. From what he could see, the murals depicted how the people living here back then went about with their lives. However, some of the people that were painted looked extremely odd. To put it simply, the murals seemed to be telling a story. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to tell the tale of the items that had been hidden in this stone room. Noticing the Giya was also looking intently at the murals, Gerald then asked, “Do you understand what the murals are trying to say, Giya?” “…W-what? What… did you just call me?” asked Giya as she immediately came to her senses and stared at Gerald, a blank expression on her face. “…Why, Giya of course! I didn’t get your name wrong, did I? After all, I’ve heard quite a few people calling you that by this point!” “…Y-you got it right… My name’s Giya, yes...” replied Giya as she felt her heart quivering slightly. Shaking the feeling off, sh

As dust flew right into Gerald’s face, both Meredith and Giya walked toward him—once the dust settled—before peering into the box as well. Inside, lay a long, dust-covered sword. Despite the coat of dust on it, that wasn’t enough to hide the sword’s brilliant gleam. It was so shiny in fact, that all three of them felt that even people who saw it from far away would feel shivers run down their spines once they saw the sword’s sheen. “…Despite it probably being thousands of years old, the sword still looks pretty sharp!” said Meredith as she tried picking the sword up with a smile. Giya herself—who didn’t look particularly interested in the sword—simply returned to look at the murals. “H-heavy…!” groaned Meredith as she continued attempting to lift the sword. It almost felt as if the sword was stuck to the bottom of the stone box. “Let me try!” said Gerald as he reached out to grab the sword’s hilt. Applying a bit of strength, Gerald was able to lift the sword out quite easily.

By the time all three of them got out of the ancient well, it was already late at night and the moon was high in the sky. Gerald then led the two girls back to the dilapidated building. Upon arriving there, they saw that the crowd of people had regrouped again. Ever Professor Yale and the other researchers were there. They had earlier returned to the building once they realized that there was no way they would be able to catch up to Gerald. Aside from the two deaths, the only other person seriously injured was Wynn, and he was also suffering from a high fever. Though the others had made it out fine, all of them were equally feeling uneasy out of fear. Now that Gerald was here, however, all of them could finally rest a bit easier after going through so much today. As the others rested, Gerald himself remained awake. After lighting a bonfire, he kept guard over the others while making sure to toss firewood into the warm flames from time to time. Meredith and Giya, on the othe

“I’ll be taking your silence as approval for me to chase after Xadrian then! I’ll start going after him starting tomorrow!” said Meredith. “…Fine,” replied Giya in a soft tone. Taking in a deep breath, she reminded herself again that Gerald was the person she was in love with. So what if Xadrian looked like him? In the end, he still wasn’t Gerald. If Meredith truly liked Xadrian, then Giya knew she had no right to prevent her from pursuing her own happiness. ‘You can’t be so selfish, Giya!’ Giya thought, attempting to comfort herself. Regardless, neither of the girls slept a wink that night due to how preoccupied they were with their own concerns. Early the next morning, everyone was packing up—preparing to leave—when Meredith walked over to Gerald before saying, “Are you thirsty, Xadrian? I have some water with me if you want!” Hearing that, Gerald’s first response was to take a peek at Giya through the corner of his eyes. Realizing that Giya herself was secretly staring
