Gerald's smile had no sneaky intent behind it. It was a genuine smile, and Gin didn't doubt it.Gerald was a legend. Everyone in this world was a witness to his kindness, and Gin had no intention of becoming his enemy. But somehow, his smile bothered Gin.Those warm eyes and that smile felt so familiar.Gargan stood between Gin and Gerald. She had been worried about something she couldn't say. She opened her mouth several times, but no words came out."Aargh! This is really frustrating me!" she complained while stomping her feet."What?" Viviz raised an eyebrow. Only she noticed Gargan's strange behavior, while Gin and Gerald continued to share glances."You will not understand."Gargan tried to say something, but only her lips moved while no sound came out of her mouth. She picked up a stick and wrote on the ground, but every line she had just written disappeared. The oath kept her from saying anything about her master.Gargan gave up. She sighed and let the tension between Gin and G

At a time like that, the only skill Gin wanted was to stop time. At least, he needed time to open the reward he had just received.Gerald was ready with his rusty sword. Meanwhile, Zack and Ellya were running toward them. Gerald motioned for them to stop before they got into too dangerous a situation.Two seconds passed, and the demons started coming and shaking the ground until it cracked.The ground before them split open like a curtain. Trees fell into the cracks, and animals screamed for help.The ogres ran around in panic while Sheba hid in the distance. In an instant, this beautiful forest had become a gaping hole.The sound of footsteps grew closer as the ground opened wider right in front of Gin. The tree that Gin had originally used as a backrest had now toppled into the ground.Finally, a short and tiny figure approached, coming from the hole. His ears were long and rolled back. His skin looked like a pigskin but was hard and thick. Gerald took an arrow in his back and shot

The image of a strong and undefeated hero was gone in Gin's mind when he saw Gerald tremble. He looked pathetic and weak, far from the hero that many people adored.Gerald muttered the same words over and over again. "Release him, please don't kill my brother. Please..."Gin was still confused, of course, but seeing Gerald like this just distracted his mind. The voices no longer affected him as the biggest question appeared in his head.Why would Gerald know about Rose and all that happened?[The tunnel failed to retrieve your memory][Memory reflection failed]The notification came just in time and once again made Gin's brows furrow. He looked back and forth. Wait a minute... If his memory failed to be fetched by the tunnel, did that mean that all of this didn't come from his memory?Gin took a few steps back, discouraging his intention to help Gerald. His eyes trembled as he stared at the hero who sadly hugged his knees.Gin assured himself that he didn't misunderstand. This tunnel

"You will live according to my commands until you die," he said.All the flying demons stopped in their tracks, flapping their wings without moving. Meanwhile, the other demons continued to run toward Gin."Kill them," he commanded.Just as their claws were about to reach Gin, the flying demons let out a loud scream and swooped down. They tore apart the other demons with their claws and tossed them in all directions. Not a single one of them touched Gin.Suddenly, they started attacking each other, or rather, Gin commanded them to attack the other demons. Every time those demons died and transformed into flying demons, they would side with Gin and attack the others.It continued like that until the flying demons almost filled all the tunnels. "Kieeek! Kiiieeekk!" Their cries made Gin's ears ring.Gerald stood amidst the chaos, barely holding on. If Gin hadn't instructed them to attack, he would have been killed by their claws. There were several wounds on his body, and parts of his cl

His eyes talked more than his mouth. Gerald didn't look like the man who wanted to fight. Gin had fought many enemies and all of them had the same look of hatred.But Gerald was different. Gerald was unpredictable."I will kill you," Gerald said again.What did he feel when he said that? Gin would never know.Gerald's hand braced, creating an electrified flame. He used all of his remaining strength to make the ball.His eyes and his actions were complete opposites. Gin could see the immense regret in his eyes.Gerald threw the ball at Gin and swiftly Gin parried it with his sword. It wasn't easy since the ball had great power. Gin had to endure it a bit longer before finally splitting the ball."I'm sorry," said Gerald. Once again he made an electric ball and then threw it at Gin.While Gin was parrying the ball again, Gerald cast a fire magic at the same time and used Gin's inadvertence to burn his back.Fortunately, the clothes Gin was fire-resistant so it didn't affect him at all.
