By the time Yusef wanted to react to what he had seen, it was already too late.The light was too difficult to block as it had come very suddenly.The light hit his eyes directly, and he stumbled a few steps backward. His head spun crazily, and he fell to the ground.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gerald ran, taking Nori along with him.“B*stard, how dare you play dirty tricks on me! Today, I, Yusef Mackowski, will break you into pieces!”Yusef’s spiritual power was heavily damaged. Now, he was looking at Gerald's back who was running away in the opposite direction unwillingly, but he could only gnash his teeth with hatred.Gerald did not dare to delay any longer.He knew that his power was too weak. Even with the help of his divine eye, he could only hold Yusef off temporarily. Now, hiding was no longer possible.The only thing he could do was to rely on the map and get into Underworld Valley. Using the traps to their advantage, they could somehow block Yusef from getti
A loud bang was heard, and Gerald’s sword hit a big stone behind it, smashing it into ashes.Bang!The next moment, a puff of white smoke came out from the coffin.It was as if the lid of the coffin was transformed into a divine arrow, and it flew toward Gerald.Slap!Gerald blocked it with his palm.Once the battle started, Gerald was appalled.A strong force appeared, and it dragged Gerald a few ten meters backward.“Gerald, are you alright?”Nori asked quickly in concern.Honestly, although Nori was using Gerald as a means to survive, she was sincerely worried about him when she saw him get injured.After all, it was not the first time Gerald had saved her.If it wasn’t for him, she would already be dead.“This thing is so powerful! It’s just another Yusef Mackowski!”Blue veins bulged on Gerald’s arm, and he could feel a tingling sensation in his arm.Meanwhile, white smoke was still coming out from the coffin.Then, they saw a pair of ancient official boots slowly
“Hurry and get on your feet, Gerald!” shouted Nori as she ran over to help pull him up. Seeing that she had grabbed the swaddling clothes—that honestly looked more like a rag by now—Gerald then held it in hand before threatening, “Take one more step forward and I’m destroying this thing! Come on, I dare you!” Upon hearing that, the zombie instantly roared! To both their surprise, however, the zombie actually lifted both its arms before taking quite a few steps back! Clearly an indication that it wasn’t going to make any other rash moves, Nori then sighed in relief before saying, “…I really hadn’t expected this thing to actually retain its humanity!” Just as Gerald was about to breathe his own sigh of relief, a roar of laughter could suddenly be heard booming across the sky… Following that, a blinding flash could be seen… and seconds later, a figure dropped from the sky in a beam of light! Landing right before Gerald, the figure fumbled for a bit, possibly due to the after
Even so, no matter how far Yusef went, Fezrumoz simply continued pursuing him! Seeing that running wasn’t doing him any good, Yusef then shouted, “You b*stard! How dare you! Continue chasing me and I’ll burn those swaddling clothes of yours! Once I do that, your pitiful child won’t even have any bones left behind! You wouldn’t want that, would you?!” According to the rumors that Yusef had heard before, one didn’t need to panic or run whenever they bumped into Fezrumoz. The only thing one needed to do to scare the beast off was declare that they would snatch the zombie’s swaddling clothes if it came any closer. While it should have stopped Fezrumoz from attacking any further, the zombie only began attacking even more viciously after hearing Yusef say that! Yusef’s words seemed to have only infuriated it even more! “What the hell? Why aren’t you stopping?!” grumbled Yusef with a frown. In his state of panic, he turned to look at Gerald and Nori… Only to realize that both of the
Upon hearing that, Nori instantly screamed before running over to hide behind Gerald! Neither of them had earlier noticed the presence of the sword that had probably been hovering above the pool this entire time. The more shocking thing, however, was the fact that a black figure could—in turn—be seen faintly hovering atop the sword! “W-who are you…?” demanded the frightened Nori. “I go by Jade Infused Blade!” replied the figure in a rather faint mechanical tone. “You… How could you be this despicable…? Were you waiting to see my bare body…?” mumbled Nori, too embarrassed to say it out loud. “Before any further misunderstandings take place, I’ll have you know that I’m blind, miss. I only came over since I sensed my master’s aura within the vicinity,” explained Jade Infused Blade as his body slowly solidified… Once he stepped closer, Gerald and Nori saw that Jade Infused Blade was actually a long-haired warrior donning black armor. “Your master…?” asked the surprised Nori.
“Figure something out?” asked Gerald. “Indeed! From what I’ve managed to gather, it appears that you’re the ninth reincarnation of my master! If you don’t mind, could you tell me whether you look identical to my master?” asked Jade Infused Blade rather anxiously. Though Gerald had actively denied that he was Liemis’s reincarnated form this entire time, he felt the need to answer honestly this time. With that, Gerald then nodded, “That’s right! I look exactly like him!” “Then that settles it! You truly are my master’s ninth reincarnation! Still, it really has been too long since I’ve last met him… Thinking back, Jaellatra was in chaos back when I last met master… At the time, the three major Sun Gods of the Sun League had cooperated to deal with master. While the three of them alone weren’t too much of a problem for him, things started turning awry when the Youngvigors stepped in. It was quickly made apparent that the Youngvigors and the Sun Gods had planned on joining forces—lo
“Indeed… Speaking of which, may I know why you came here in the first place, master? Also, you said that Miss Lockland is currently in the human world, correct?” asked Jade Infused Blood, still kowtowing before Gerald. “She is. However, she only exists as a remnant of her soul in that world. Sadly enough, I wasn’t strong enough at the time when the King of Judgment Portal came after us. Since I couldn’t even protect myself yet, Zyla served as a distraction by luring the King of Judgment Portal away. After that incident, I’ve searched far and wide for her on earth. Unfortunately, I found no clues as to where she could have gone! With that in mind, I had a hunch that she could’ve possibly returned to Jaellatra!” “As for why I’m here, you could say that returning Liemis to Zyla is one of my reasons. The other reason I came here is because my sister’s been captured by the Quartermains! She’s suffering now, so I have to save her! However, in order to even survive long enough, I need to
Following that, an explosive sound could be heard! Everyone could only watch wide-eyed as all the surrounding leaves began gathering in front of Yusuf, specifically in front of his chest… The leaves then began balling up, and once the orb of leaves was large enough, Yusef bounded forward, using his chest to launch the ball of leaves forward! At that moment, another explosive sound could be heard as the orb of leaves flew so quickly at Gerald that it was hard to even see it properly! In response, Gerald positioned his fingers into a sword formation before declaring in his mind, ‘Go forth, Storm-Forged Blade!’ Immediately after, Gerald flicked his fingers in the direction of the orb, shooting a blade of light out in retaliation! Explosion upon explosion ensued as the two attacks flew toward each other… Until finally, the large ball of leaves was sliced clear in two, creating the loudest explosion yet! Everyone present could only take a few steps back in their shock, utterly
