Chapter 1168
After all, Zeus seemed to be somewhat related to him, and Jasmine was still being held captive by her. Regardless, once he got back to the Montholm Island manor, he was immediately greeted by the sight of a group of people surrounding the manor. Everyone was dressed in odd-looking costumes, and there were hundreds of them blocking the manor’s entrance. However, what caught Gerald’s attention most was a few of his bodyguards lying on the ground. “Young master! You’ve returned!” shouted several of his bodyguards—who were still conscious—excitedly the moment they saw him. Realizing that he was now present, Joshua and Lord Fenderson immediately began walking toward him. Once they were before him, Bryson immediately explained, “These are all members of the Holy Witchcraft, Gerald! The master of the Holy Witchcraft has personally come over today to meet you!” Hearing that, Gerald immediately knew what they were here for! “So you’re Gerald?” asked an old woman as she stepped for

Seconds before Hendrik was able to land his skull-crushing punch on Gerald—who was already prepared to die at this point—a shout made him stop his attack half-way. Of course, the person who had shouted was none other than Chester. “Grandma, Second Lord! Please don’t kill master! This has nothing to do with him!” said Chester as he fell to his knees. “You’re calling him master? How absolutely ridiculous! You’re the master of the Holy Witchcraft! Why on earth would you call this wealthy spoilt brat your master? If news gets out about this, then our clan’s prestigious name will surely be destroyed by you!” replied Tiara as the corner of her lips twitched. She, for one, was a person who cared a lot about prestige. To her, a man dying was nothing special if it was to maintain the Holy Witchcraft’s status! “It was my personal decision to be by master’s side! I’ve never wanted to be the young master of the Holy Witchcraft in the first place! All I’ve ever wanted was to live normal

The roar had come from Gerald whose eyes were now bloodshot as he stared at all the blood currently gushing out of Chester’s mouth. As Joshua and Lord Fenderson immediately rushed over, the trembling Chester stuttered, “M-master… it… it hurts…!” Covering the injured parts of Chester’s head with his hand, Gerald attempted to force his powers out to save him while shouting, “You’ll be fine! Stay with me!” “I-it’s… too late… Y-you know, master… I… I think I can finally see Lola…! After so many years, she still looks like an eight-year-old child… And… her smile… her laughter… they’re as pretty as ever…!” replied Chester, his voice slowly weakening as more blood spilled out from his mouth. “I… can see it now… She’s rowing a boat… She’s telling me that we’re going… to see the sunset together… We… We’re finally going to be reunited again… How great…!” added the dying Chester, his trembling slowly getting weaker and weaker… “I… miss you so much… Lola…” That was the last thing Chest

With that said, Hendrik ordered for Gerald to be arrested. Not long after, Gerald found himself within a secret room with Hendrik. “Tell me, Gerald… Are you aware of any secret techniques to get rid of ancient witchcraft…?” asked Hendrik coldly. “Secret techniques? Now why would I know anything of the sort! After all, such techniques are only taught to those within the Holy Witchcraft, no?” replied Gerald rather casually as he turned to look at Hendrik. “You’d best stop putting on an act before me, you brat! I’ll admit that I used a secret ancient witchcraft technique on Chester’s body long ago… That particular witchcraft poisons a person’s heart, making them act in eccentric, unreasonable, and extreme ways! After a long period of time, said person would eventually die from insanity! I was lucky to have come across such an ancient technique, you know? Regardless, when I saw Chester again earlier, the witchcraft I had placed upon him seemed to have been lifted! While he was able

By that point, out of fear that those from within the crowd would attempt to rescue Gerald, the two guardians—who were tasked with keeping an eye on Gerald—quickly drove away anyone who had chosen to stay behind. As a result, only silence remained when Gerald looked up at the moon in the midnight sky. Throughout the afternoon earlier, Gerald had remained focused on thinking up a way to break free of his seal. After all, not only was the clock ticking, but Gerald had also come to realize something from Chester’s death. That being, he couldn’t allow anyone else around him to suffer any more harm or die because of him! With that in mind, he was eventually able to come up with a method to break his seals. Back when he had first come across the deity, Gerald had found a ring-shaped jade pendant that embedded several memories into his mind. Though he now had memories of learning several new skills, despite previously attempting to use those skills for himself, Gerald realized tha

This evil method was known as the Soul Eater, and by using it, Gerald was able to quickly drain his victim’s vitality, turning it into his own. Naturally, this meant that the more souls he absorbed, the more strength and energy he would gain. None of the guardians had expected Gerald to possess such a diabolical skill, but it was already far too late for them to escape. With the same technique, Gerald swiftly absorbed the vitality of the six remaining men, resulting in each of them turning into mere piles of dust. After completing the deed, fierce determination glinted in Gerald’s eyes as he stared off into the distance. While he had now managed to recover around thirty percent of his strength, Gerald was well aware that even at his peak strength, he still wasn’t going to be a match for Queena by a longshot. With that in mind, he knew that he needed to get as far away from Queena as possible. After all, his current priority was still to locate the actual woman in white. Even

Getting his father’s approval, the young man then began walking toward Gerald and with a contemptuous tone, he scorned, “I hope that you know that there is only submission when it comes to our sacred Holy Witchcraft, young man! There’s never been room for any negotiation in the past, nor will there ever be any in the future! With that in mind, since you’re clearly here to seek a compromise, you’re already in the wrong! Due to that, I’ll personally teach you a lesson you won’t ever forget! We’ll see if you’ll finally tell my father what he wants to know once I’m done with you!” After a booming laugh, he then launched himself toward Gerald! Gerald, however, was now much faster than him. In one swift move, he grabbed hold of the young man’s head before tearing it right off his body! The others could only widen their eyes in disbelief as the decapitated body—that was now spurting a fountain of blood from the neck—flopped to the ground. “…W-what?!” roared Hendrik as Gerald tossed hi

Following that, Gerald swiftly headed off to save Lord Fenderson and the others. They had been captured as well since Hendrik had planned to torture them if Gerald still refused to surrender the ancient witchcraft techniques after a while. Thankfully, Hendrik hadn’t personally done too much to them. However, though Lord Fenderson’s illness had been cured, all the fatigue, fear, and torture the ninety-year-old man had to go through had taken a clear toll on him. By the time they were all freed, Gerald found that Lord Fenderson had already been comatose for a while. As all of them began leaving the manor, a tired and exhausted Joshua couldn’t help but ask, “…Speaking of which, senior… Are you leaving again after this…? If you are, where are you headed to next…?” “I’ll be seeking out Master Ghost. I simply cannot continue staying on Montholm Island anymore! Worry not, I’ll make sure to order a few of my family’s guards to safely escort all of you back to the Salford Province,” re
