Though they were now sneering at him, all six of them found themselves taking a few steps back in their shock. Gerald himself simply shook his head before saying, “I told you, didn’t I? People just seem to enjoy assuming that they can kill me, and you’re all living proof of that. Look, quite frankly, you’re all just grains of dust to me… And I can’t stand the sight of dust!” Following that, Gerald flicked his finger at them, creating an explosive sound as a strong wave of air swiftly flew toward the six people! Dust now flying in all directions—due to how powerful the blast of air was—all six of them instinctively turned around, intent on escaping! After all, they knew for a fact that getting caught in that attack would definitely spell instant death for them. What inhuman strength! While running was the only thing on their mind now, none of them seemed to be able to even lift their legs! It was almost as though the lower half of their bodies had turned to lead! Unable to ev
Seconds after she said that, everyone watched as a figure slowly walked toward them from afar… And as soon as he got close enough, Leo’s eyes lit up as he declared, “So it really is you, Mr. Crawford!” Upon realizing Gerald’s arrival, Peter found himself smiling subtly as well… Until he got a closer look at Gerald. Widening his previously squinted eyes, the shocked Peter found himself muttering, “…Gerald… What on earth happened to your training…?” It had just been a few days since he had last met Gerald… How had Gerald obtained such immensely frightening strength within that short period of time…? ‘Just as Miss Lockland had said, could it be that Gerald is no longer a regular human being…?’ “Indeed. I inquired about it all the way until I finally managed to catch up to all of you here, sir! Zyla!” replied Gerald as he nodded with a smile before turning to look at the faintly discernible world hovering above him… After a brief silence to recover from his surprise, Gerald event
After hearing Gerald’s explanation, Peter then said, “So that’s how you grew so rapidly in just three days!” “So that’s the whole story… In the end, I guess that some things will always end up being unearthed no matter how hard we try to hide them… Everything is simply going according to fate… You know, despite being the most powerful person to have ruled over Jaellatra, even Liemis told me that nobody was able to escape such a fate… True to his words, Liemis wasn’t able to deny his fate either! Regardless, the Herculean Primordial Spirit is a power so strong that it’s capable of ruining the ultimate limit!” explained Zyla. “…Ruining… the ultimate limit…?” muttered both Leo and Peter at the same time. “Indeed. You see, the ultimate limit is without a start nor an end… It has the ability to remaining indefinitely strong, and nobody should ever be able to even get in touch with it! Despite that, legend has it that the Herculean Primordial Spirit is able to ruin it!” Upon hearing
Following that, he then listened to Zyla’s explanation on what the Dehlere Foundation actually was. Essentially, the Dehlere Foundation was a fundamental part of a cultivator. Putting it into simpler terms, it functioned like a source of water, the most basic of necessities. If one’s Dehlere Foundation was ruined, then even if that person somehow managed to train to a high level by relying on their endeavors, they’d never truly be able to achieve their strongest form. As for how to awaken one’s Dehlere Foundation, apparently one needed to go through the baptism of heaven—of which—Gerald had undergone following Master Ghost’s instructions. According to Zyla, Gerald should have awakened both his Dehlere Foundation and his functional yin energy—which he was now able to control—right after completing the baptism of heaven. However, since his Dehlere Foundation had been ruined from the start, there wasn’t anything to activate. That explained why though his strength had greatly incre
“…From the second it rested on my palm, I could already feel how powerful this extraordinary-looking item was… You know, my family has a picture of the sun that is capable of predicting the future… Does the Mackusion have such a power as well?” asked the awe-struck Gerald. “It does, though that isn’t its only ability. Regardless, go ahead and try using the dragon blood jade pendant as a medium to communicate with it. Ask a question that you truly desire the answer to, and with any luck, it’ll respond to you! This is also the perfect chance for us to see how accurate the legends are when it comes to the Mackusion’s immense magical powers!” replied Zyla. “Copy that,” replied Gerald as he closed his eyes and did what Zyla suggested. Not long after, a beam of light shot out from the pendant and entered the Mackusion! However, even after Gerald reopened his eyes seconds later, nothing seemed to happen… Waiting in silence together with Zyla, both of them watched wide-eyed as the Mack
Several mountains could be seen surrounding the rather large island, and odd flowers could be seen growing all over the place. Regardless, the second Gerald saw the island, he immediately knew what that place was. It was Warhill Island, the place where the pledge of the holy water was getting held! ‘By this point, I’m sure grandpa and the others have long arrived there…’ Whatever the case was, Gerald now had a rough idea on how to use the Mackusion. Essentially, after communicating with it through one’s soul, everything that the communicator thought, missed, or was confused about would instantly reveal themselves on the screen, one after another. He got to that conclusion since after witnessing what had happened to Mila, the screen was now displaying the place where his grandpa had gone to in order to participate in the pledge of the holy water. As for why Gerald barely had any doubts that this was Warhill Island, the legendary place where the pledge of the holy water was hel
As Gerald pondered on that statement for a while, he suddenly heard the other women—who had been standing silently at the side this entire time—scream! Peter himself was now looking immensely worried, and he immediately pointed at the screen before shouting, “Gerald, look there!” Turning to look at the screen—that was still displaying Warhill Island—Gerald quickly realized that humans were now present. Of course, that wasn’t the reason the girls were screaming. The reason they were so terrified was because the people being displayed were nothing more than corpses who looked like they had died horrible deaths! From what Gerald could estimate, there were about a hundred dead great masters—who had probably come from all over the place just to participate in the pledge—at the catastrophic scene. Looking at the sea of dead bodies, Gerald’s eyelids instantly began twitching rapidly as he thought, ‘Grandpa…!’ He was right to be worried. After all, his grandfather had left for the
Shortly after, even that image disappeared, and it was then when the Mackusion’s glow slowly retracted before eventually falling back into Gerald’s palm. “…Miss Lockland, have you any idea what the Mackusion was trying to reveal based on what it showed us earlier? Could something terrible have befallen those who participated in the pledge of the holy water…?” asked Gerald rather anxiously. “I have a feeling that seems to be the case… Regardless, not only did the Mackusion reveal that the journey of the participants of the pledge of the holy water was anything but smooth, it also displayed Liemis’s tomb as well as your family’s manor. From what I can assume, it’s predicting that the two places aren’t at peace and something is very likely going to happen soon!” replied Zyla. “…What? Then there’s no time to waste! Let’s head over to those places to investigate immediately” said the shocked Gerald immediately. “Indeed! Speaking of which, now that you have the Mackusion on hand, do
