Chapter 1361
“But of course I’ll come along! After all, this is the first time you’ve even suggested for me to stay by your side!” replied Queena with a seductive smile. Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded at her with a faint smile. Naturally, he wasn’t about to tell her that he was going to save the woman in white at midnight. However, he was also well aware that if he wasn’t willing to make at least a slight compromise, then he’d surely end up suffering much greater losses should Queena ruin his efforts while he was summoning the woman in white’s soul… It was about an hour later when Gerald asked, “Seth, do you truly remember where the snake cave is…?” The trio who were currently following Seth—after all four of them entered the mountain—consisted of Rosie—who had been curious about the snake cave—Queena—who had agreed to come along since Gerald invited her to—and Gerald himself. “Of course I do! However, since this place is rather secluded, I still need to gather my bearings a bit bette

Aside from that, there were also several depictions of massive birds and beasts, and nobody could tell whether they were drawn that way deliberately. Continuing to scan through, Gerald soon saw a rather familiar image of a massive bat-like creature. Looking at it for a while, Gerald found himself thinking, ‘...I met something similar to that back in the mine where I saved Yume and obtained the water repellent stone, right…? A large bat with the head of a human… While I had first assumed that it was some bat demon that had undergone immense training, since it’s on this mural, it wouldn’t be out of the question for it to actually be some kind of ancient creature that survived till today… But… How could that even be possible…? There are simply too many peculiar things at play…’ Turning to look at Queena—who had been utterly fascinated by all the things in the cave for a while now—Gerald asked, “…Say, what kind of world is being depicted on the walls…? Could it actually be earth?” He

Nodding, Queena then replied, “Indeed. See, the Immortal Body is a realm that used to only exist in legends. It was said that if a person ever entered that realm, then they’d be able to exist alongside heaven and earth. In other words, nothing would be able to truly destroy them. Though it was said that there was one person who was able to attain that legendary realm during that civilization, it’s pretty much just a legend!” “…Assuming the legend is true, that should suggest that that exceptional person should still be alive, correct? But that couldn’t be, right? He should’ve still died along with his civilization!” said Gerald rather curiously. “Well, I, at least, believe that he died. My guess is that he never truly entered the realm of the Immortal Body. Even so, he was still an immensely exceptional person who had strength that clearly defied the natural order. Why else did so many people respect and admire him…” explained Queena. “I see… Speaking of Jaellatra, how much do yo

Watching as she gazed with gentler eyes than before, Gerald replied, “I still have some things I wish to learn about. I’ll meet up with you once I’m done settling those issues!” “Very well! I’ll be waiting then!” said Queena with a smile. Following that, her body momentarily swayed… And the next thing anyone knew, she had disappeared! Taking a step forward in surprise, Rosie then turned back to look at Gerald before saying, “Is… Is she human or a ghost…?” “Half of both, I’d say!” replied Gerald as he turned to look at the direction Queena had dashed off to while heaving a long sigh. With that, he then brought Rosie back to the shantytown to meet up with Leo and the others. Noticing that the other man was not present, Gerald then asked Monica where he was. After being told that the man had yet to return, Gerald found himself feeling slightly dissatisfied as he thought, ‘Where on earth has he gone to? What’s taking him so long…?’ It was a little while later when Queena fina

“…What? She’s gone missing…?!” growled Queena in rage. “P-please spare me, master…! She truly was still in her room earlier! While I did hear her talking to someone earlier, I didn’t pay much attention to it since I simply assumed that she was talking to Hattie! By the time I went in to check on her again, she was nowhere to be seen and Hattie was already in a coma!” As the servant had said before, Hattie was the personal maid that Queena had assigned for Jasmine, and true to the servant’s words, the second Queena entered the room for herself, she found that Jasmine really was absent and that Hattie was still lying in a coma! Following that, Queena closed her eyes slightly to concentrate on her surroundings. A little while later, she opened them again before coldly saying, “…From what I can tell, she was rescued by others earlier. I believe they haven’t escaped too far, so launch an immediate search party for them around the area!” Shuddering with fear, everyone immediately o

Adding that to what he had earlier said, Jasmine instantly began trembling all over as she asked, “…Could… Could it be that you’re my aunt’s missing husband…? The uncle me and Gerald share…?” Chuckling as he smiled, the man then replied, “You truly are as smart as your aunt, Jasmine...” “…So, it's really true…?!” exclaimed Jasmine as she covered her mouth in shock. “…Sir- No, uncle… Haven’t you gone missing for ages…? Why are you only showing yourself now….? Also, how did your appearance turn out this way…?” Based on what her aunt had once told her, Peter Crawford—her uncle—was quite a handsome and elegant man. With that in mind, his current hideous expression would shock just about anyone! “Let’s just say that I needed to end up this way in order to escape! Still, this appearance isn’t all that bad since it allows me to hide my true identity. In fact, it’s thanks to how I look that I’ve been able to easily investigate a few incidents!” replied Peter, his eyes returning to th

According to Peter, the group of people were moving at extremely high speeds, and true enough, Jasmine was soon able to hear their swiftly approaching footsteps! It wasn’t long after before a dozen or so people bounded out from the jungle, and the second the person—who seemed to be the leader of the group—saw the duo, he immediately excitedly shouted, “We’ve found them! Surround them immediately!” He was right to be excited. After all, if all went well, then his group would definitely get the honor of making a great contribution since they were the first to locate Jasmine. Even the eyes of the eleven other men lit up, thinking that their victory prize was standing right before them. “W-what should we do, uncle?! All of them are extremely powerful!” said Jasmine rather anxiously. Since she had stayed by Queena's side for so long, she already knew how strong her men were. “Haha! They can’t hurt us if I keep them where they currently are! Now stand back, Jasmine!” replied Peter w

“…Well, since sir and I have managed to return safely and you’ve even found such a good helper, isn’t it only right for us to host a reunion dinner…? What more, I’ve already been treating this sir like family from the moment he rescued me!” said Jasmine who was well aware that she had almost made a slip of the tongue. Thankfully, her explanation seemed to work as Gerald laughed before replying, “Well, you’re not wrong there! He saved my life too, you know! Ever since I regained consciousness, I’ve been treating him like family as well! Well said! Let’s have a reunion dinner tonight! Now then, I’ll be cooking if nobody’s against it!” “I’ll help!” shouted both Monica and Rosie—who had been standing quietly at the side—almost simultaneously. Upon realizing what had just happened, both of them instantly felt slightly awkward. Monica had been so eager to help since she had been admiring Gerald for a while now. She respected both his strength and his strong character. Of course, his go
