With the shadowy figure now dead, his men instantly turned to face each other before fleeing the area! After all, now that their boss was dead, there was no point in them staying there for any longer.
Realizing that there was a token of sorts within the shadowy figure’s ashes, Gerald picked it up to see what was written on it…
The words ‘Ghost Sect’ had been carved intricately onto the token, and Gerald could only raise a slight brow when virtual-novel.net saw that. What kind of mysterious organization could the Ghost Sect be…?
His train of thought was cut short when virtual-novel.net suddenly heard Nori calling out, “Gerald!”
Turning around, virtual-novel.net watched as his friends quickly ran toward him.
Stopping right before Gerald, Nori then asked in a concerned tone, “Are you alright, Gerald? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Smiling in response, Gerald simply said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine!”
Upon hearing that, Nori and the others were instantly relieved. To them, as long as Gerald was fine, all was well in the world…
Now that things had calmed down, Gerald turned to look at the Titan Sword that was hovering menacingly in the air…
Walking over to it, virtual-novel.net then grabbed onto the hilt… and the second virtual-novel.net did, hot and powerful energy surged right through his palm and into his elixir-of-life field!
With how burning-hot his elixir-of-life field was now feeling, Gerald could tell that all the pain virtual-novel.net was currently experiencing was due to the sword’s power!
“G-Gerald? What’s wrong?” asked Nori when virtual-novel.net saw his pained expression.
“Stay back!” yelled Gerald as virtual-novel.net quickly sat at the side.
Hearing that, Nori and the others didn’t dare go close to him. They could only stare at virtual-novel.net from afar, hoping that virtual-novel.net would turn out fine…
Regardless, Gerald quickly took out a Heaven’s apple before devouring it. Once that was done, virtual-novel.net instantly began meditating.
To his shock, eating the holy fruit didn’t lessen the fiery sensation in his body at all. In fact, it only made it more intense!
Yelling in agony, Gerald’s forehead was now drenched in sweat, showing just how much pain the sword’s power was inflicting onto him.
It wasn’t long after before Gerald eventually collapsed from the excruciating pain!
Upon seeing that, Nori immediately shouted, “Gerald…!”
As virtual-novel.net ran over to check on him, Juno herself quickly ordered virtual-novel.net servants to carry virtual-novel.net over into a room to rest.
Unbeknownst to the others, the Titan and Fishgut Sword had both morphed into a single beam of light that then entered Gerald’s body…
It would take an entire day before Gerald regained consciousness again…
When the dazed youth finally awoke, the first thing virtual-novel.net saw was Nori lying by the side of his bed. He couldn’t help but think how lovely virtual-novel.net looked, even when virtual-novel.net was asleep…
Her ears twitching as his bedsheets rustled, Nori woke with a start before looking at Gerald and joyously exclaiming, “G-Gerald! You’re finally awake…!”
After Gerald fainted the day before, all his friends had been scared half to death, thinking that something terrible had befallen him…
