The light itself was rivaled only by the brightness of an intense spotlight, and it instantly lit the entire area with a blinding flash! Chester himself was hit point-blank by the golden light, and the second it connected with him, Chester suddenly began screaming in pain! Gerald watched wide-eyed as a black glow began seeping out of Chester’s body! Slowly but surely, Chester began losing his strength and power. His vitality rapidly diminished as well, and by the time he stopped screaming, Chester was so weak that from just a single push from Gerald, he ended up falling to the ground, instantly going unconscious! “…Chester…?” called out Gerald as he held onto his still-bleeding wound. No matter how much he called out, however, Chester truly was out cold. At that moment, the pendant suddenly switched the golden light out for flashes of all seven colors of the rainbow! Gerald was naturally surprised by all these changes. The jade pendant was acting really strange today! “…I rea
“Mr. Crawford! You’re finally awake!” shouted Jace who seemed to have been sitting beside him this entire time. Realizing that his wounds had been bandaged, Gerald now knew that Jace had been the one who had stabilized his condition. “I am… Thank you, Dr. Mabb…” replied Gerald as he held onto his wounds. Recalling that he had almost been killed by Tiara and those eight men, Gerald turned to look at the Smiths as he asked, “Aunt Helen… Uncle Smith… Were you the ones who had rescued and brought me here…?” As he awaited their reply, Gerald faintly remembered himself desperately pleading the jade pendant to help him back then. He also recalled the sudden burst of energy that emitted from his body before eventually passing out. Naturally, he had no idea what happened after going unconscious. “That’s right, Gerald… You almost frightened us to death earlier, you know? You sent all nine of them flying into the air in all directions! Sensing the opportunity to escape, we then quickly b
“…Chester, didn’t you… you know… Either way… How did you get resurrected…?” asked Gerald as he slowly approached him. Chester himself seemed like he had a lot to tell Gerald, and while the explanation process was a little slow and awkward, Gerald could still understand what his brother was saying. As it turned out, after Gerald had personally buried Chester’s body, Tiara dug it out again and used a secret technique—that Queena had taught her—to resurrect and turn him into a killing machine! Chester also took the time to explain the long-standing heritage of the Holy Witchcraft. Apparently, Queena’s soul was the one who had professionally founded the Holy Witchcraft, and before she died, she had made special preparations for her own resurrection hundreds of years later! Upon hearing this, Gerald finally understood everything. So that’s why Tiara had been so frightened when she received the letter from Queena’s subordinate in front of the manor that day! Queena was actually her a
Seeing how intently Gerald was looking at him, Jace then replied, “Well, Master Nacol is currently giving lectures in Mayberry City. If you wish to meet him, I can surely introduce him to you. What more, he just so happens to be an old friend of Mr. Sawyer Wytt!” “Sounds great to me! I’ll be troubling you then, Dr. Mab!” said Gerald with a nod. As soon as his sentence ended, a subordinate suddenly ran into the room, reporting, “Mr. Lyle! Mr. Crawford! We’ve managed to excavate most of the mountain and we’ve located a colorful boulder in there!” “A colorful boulder?” replied Gerald, startled. At that moment, Gerald felt an extremely strong masculine aura pulsing continuously from within his body. “It’s the Zircobsite for sure!” shouted Gerald, feeling overjoyed. He had finally located the stone! “Zack, I need you to immediately instruct your men to block the surrounding areas around Mountain Top. Nobody is allowed to even get close to it!” ordered Gerald. “Right away, Mr.
Gerald found himself subconsciously taking a step back from the immobile person who was sitting at the corner of the cave. After a brief moment, however, Gerald realized that the person didn’t seem like he was going to make a move at all. Upon closer inspection, Gerald found himself heaving a sigh of relief when he saw that the person’s eyes were peacefully closed. Anyone would’ve been shocked to see a living man seated within a mountain all by himself! Carefully approaching the figure—who had his legs crossed—Gerald saw that it was a white-haired old man who had a robe on. His eyes closed and his complexion ruddy, the old man gave off the impression that he was a monk that was concentrating on his mediation. Heading closer to check whether the old man was breathing, he quickly realized that that wasn’t the case! With that knowledge in mind, Gerald then continued getting closer to the old man to further inspect the body. However, the second he got within arms-reach of the perso
Due to Gerald having such a powerful weapon on him, the nine people had momentarily fled for fear that Gerald would end up killing them instead. It was only after they made their escape that they recalled that Gerald wasn’t able to properly control the jade pendant’s power yet. As all nine of them slowly recovered their strength, they each thought about thieving the pendant off Gerald before taking him away. With their mind made up, all of them began making their way toward Mountain Top the moment their strength fully recovered. However, both parties truly hadn’t expected to bump into each other on their way there. Being enemies, they naturally fought and bickered the entire way there. “How unlucky we are to meet you again! Regardless, we’ll certainly be the ones who’ll end up getting our hands on both Gerald and that jade pendant!” After continuing to bicker for quite a while, all nine of them swiftly made it past the restricted area on Mountain Top. Several of the bodygua
Whatever the case was, Chester didn’t care anymore. As his last resort, he raised his arm to attempt to counterattack Tiara’s finishing blow! “You’re overestimating your abilities too much, boy!” sneered Tiara as she instantly began doubling the power of her blow! She was determined to cut off all the meridians in Chester’s body once and for all! As both their fists met, an explosive sound was heard! While Chester barely moved an inch from the impact, it was a whole other story for Tiara. The old woman instantly found herself flying backward, breaking dozens of thick-trunked trees as her body collided into them! It was as though she had just been struck by a powerful tornado, and the impact of all those collisions made her body feel like it was falling apart! After leaving a trail of blood on the ground—that she spurted from all the damage she had sustained—she finally lost enough momentum for a tree to stop her from going any further! By that point, all four of her limbs w
“P-please spare my life, Mr. Crawford…!” pleased the man as he crawled back up and turned around before kneeling in front of Gerald, trembling in utter fear. To think that Gerald now felt like an entirely different person after only a three-day gap since they last met! He was simply too strong! Regardless, the man was wise and he knew better than to continue fighting when the odds were clearly against him. Escape was the only option if he wanted to make it out alive! “I-if you spare my life, I’ll share a big secret with you, Mr. Crawford!” said the man rather tentatively as he took in a deep breath. Gerald, however, simply raised his foot and stepped on the man’s head. Gulping, the man then added, “I-I’ll tell you everything I know as long as you promise to spare my life…!” Just as the man was about to attempt to retrieve a hidden weapon from his sleeve, Gerald simply replied, “Sorry, not interested.” Following that, he suddenly amplified the force of his foot, causing a
