Following that, Gerald then chatted late into the night with that man. However, even after finally returning to his room, Gerald chose not to sleep. After having that conversation with that man, Gerald now knew how important it was to properly train himself. After all, though it was true that Felton had been scared off today, Gerald knew that he would eventually return even stronger than before. With that in mind, Gerald then sat cross-legged in his room as he searched through the many memories—of the deity—that had been implanted into him. He had acquired them back when he was in the ancient tomb within the palace that was located in the desert. Eventually, he came across the memories of extremely ancient breathing techniques. Gerald recalled a time when he had attempted to practice those techniques, though to no avail. No matter how much he practiced them, he simply wasn’t able to get them right. Though he was only able to master that evil technique—Soul Eater—in the past, th
Though she was surprised by that, she was even more shocked when she saw Gerald’s condition. Covering her mouth as though she was looking at a monster, Monica then said, “You… Gerald, you’ve already recovered your strength…?” “Indeed! Honestly, I hadn’t expected those breathing techniques to be so useful! They’re truly priceless treasures!” replied Gerald rather excitedly as he looked at both his hands. “Do… You think you could teach me a technique like that?” asked Monica as her eyes instantly lit up. It was apparent that she was greatly interested in the breathing techniques that both Gerald and that middle-aged man were capable of performing. “Of course! If a chance presents itself in the future, I’ll definitely select a suitable technique or two for you to learn!” replied Gerald with a smile. By this point, Gerald already treated her as a friend, so he wasn’t against teaching her some of the simpler techniques. He had specified on the term ‘suitable techniques for her’ sinc
The owner of King Valley went by the name of Rupert Yateman. While that name didn’t usually stand out among ordinary people, it was one that was extremely well-known among world-class powerhouse circles. This was made evident to Gerald since—as he continued following Myles—all sorts of signs could be seen on display around the valley. The signs themselves were of celebrities from all over the world. From what Gerald could guess, those who had their signs here had once come here to ask for medicine. Regardless, as they walked on, Myles further elaborated on how that man had gotten to know the master of the valley in the first place. As Myles had earlier said, he was once the personal driver of the master of the valley, and back then, both of them had traveled together a lot. One day, however, both of them came across enemies who were intent on killing them! Things got so bad that Myles even had to carry the master on his back as they fled for their dear lives! Thankfully, they
As for the refining and heating process, Gerald had memories of a skill called fire control that—while was more profound than the process carved on the cliffs—was also much easier to do. However, since Gerald hadn’t even practiced the art of pill-making before, it was hard for him to pinpoint the more minor differences. Regardless, just as Gerald was about to head back—now that he was done looking at the carvings—he suddenly heard a sweet voice from behind him saying, “Hello there, handsome! Could you please help me out? My kite’s gotten stuck in a tree and I’d appreciate it greatly if you gave me a hand!” Turning around to see who the owner of the voice was, Gerald was immediately greeted by the sight of an extremely beautiful and pure-looking girl—who was wearing white sportswear and had her hair tied up in a ponytail—looking at him from under a tree, her expression rather anxious. Due to how distressed she looked, Gerald found it rather hard to refuse her request, so he sim
“Could I at least know where you’re taking me?” asked Gerald. “Humph! You’d better shut your mouth if you know what’s good for you, you stinking brat! If everything goes smoothly and you follow all of Sister Fleur’s orders, we guarantee that you’ll be fine! However, make one mistake too many and you could very well lose your life!” sneered Yenny. With that, a few guards—belonging to Yenny—quickly held Gerald down the second the net was lowered. After tying Gerald’s wrists and legs tightly with iron chains, they then shoved him into a car. ‘What the hell is even with these kids? If it wasn’t for the fact that I came over to ask for medicine, I would’ve already beaten them up by now just for pulling that trick on me earlier!’ Gerald thought to himself. Though dissatisfied, he quickly calmed himself and simply went along with what they were doing. Gerald then watched as the line of cars drove out of the valley… Eventually, they arrived at a large stadium-like building. At the bu
“Oh? Is that so! Haha! And here I was thinking you weren’t coming over since you were afraid you’d end up losing!” replied the white-haired man. “My sister? Afraid of you? Seamus Fairleigh, I hope you realize that you aren’t invincible just because you’ve managed to capture some ugly savage! We’ll definitely be showing you the power of King Valley today! To hell with your undefeatable God of War bullsh*t!” growled Yenny without any filter to her words. “Alright, alright, calm down… We’ll just have to wait and see what happens in the end. Speaking of which, I hope you don’t end up regretting what you promised me, Fleur!” replied Seamus with a sly smile. “Oh, you’ll be the one regretting it. Get ready to call me ‘sister’ soon!” said Fleur without even sparing him a glance as she led her group toward the VIP area. Naturally, Gerald was dragged along. Looking around, the place was a near-perfect replica of a real ancient colosseum, with a massive space in the middle and all. Notici
“Sixth and Seventh brother! Both of you take him in and bait that savage out!” ordered the eldest among the masters. “Affirmative!” declared the duo as they instantly grabbed Gerald by his arms and began walking toward the darkened area’s entrance. Gerald himself was already secretly channeling his inner strength so that if things turned ugly, he would at least have a higher chance of escaping. From what Gerald could sense, all seven of the masters were simply at the first stage of the Spirit Earth Realm. In other words, they were at the same level as those whom he had beheaded back at the Gunter Manor. While he was sure he could take them on—if he eventually needed to—he still didn’t know what the strength level of the savage was. Regardless, as all three of them stepped into the darkness, the roaring became louder than ever. The roaring alone was comparable to continuous thunder strikes, and two masters couldn’t help but feel slightly startled. “…Sixth brother, I have to a
By that point, all of Gerald’s hairs had stood on end, and he knew for a fact that he wasn’t going to be able to dodge the attack. With that in mind, he gathered what strength he could to brace himself for impact! A split second later, the colossal hand slammed against Gerald, causing an explosion of energy and white smoke to form as Gerald found himself flying backward! The sheer force of the impact alone had caused Gerald’s clothes—especially on his back—to instantly get torn to shreds, and soon enough, Gerald’s back collided against the area’s stone walls! Immediately coughing out blood, Gerald no longer had to wonder how the savage had killed the other Spirit Earth Realm masters. From what Gerald could tell, killing them off must have been as easy as pounding garlic with the savage’s immense strength! He was way stronger than Hogan! If it hadn’t been for the fact that Gerald had recently sharply increased his strength—by learning and utilizing the art of Thunder Eruption—then
