His eyelids now twitching, Gerald couldn’t help but add, “…Those siblings are in trouble…” Though Gerald hadn’t really wanted to get too involved with them, now that he knew that this evil priestess was out to kill, he couldn’t just let her do as she pleased! With his mind made up, Gerald then began chasing after Master Trilight…! Speaking of Master Trilight, it wasn’t long before she arrived at her first destination… That being the siblings’ home! At the time, the brother was experiencing a high fever that simply wouldn’t subside. With even their bedridden mother terribly ill, the sister naturally grew increasingly desperate. Eventually, the sister headed out to fetch some water… and it was then when Master Trilight snuck into the house! Staring at the sick child, Master Trilight couldn’t help but scoff, “Ah, my beloved disciple, you truly are getting better and better… To think that you’d actually manage to gather seven children who were born at noon this time! Not only will
“…I’m surprised you were able to enter the Domiensch Realm at such a young age. I’m actually glad I went all out earlier. Otherwise, I’d surely be toast by now!” grumbled the priestess. Though neither of them had gained the upper hand from their attacks, Master Trilight’s face had now gone slightly pale. Aside from that, her wavering irises—that were now glowing in a tint of dark green—confirmed that she was actually afraid. What's more, though she hadn’t suffered any heavy injuries, Gerald’s massive essential qi had forced her to reveal half of her true form! Regardless, upon looking at her altered form, Gerald—whose brows were now furrowed—was prompted to say, “So I was right! You’re not a common demonic cultivator at all! Instead, you’re a big scorpion demon!” Since this was his first time encountering such a demon after entering the cultivation realm, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly shocked. He was also surprised by the fact that demonic cultivators could actually ge
“…While you appear to know that senior and your black magic is quite strong, your power is—at best—only comparable to mine. You’re still lightyears away from getting to a pre-Angelord level!” said Gerald. “I agree with that. While our power doesn’t differ too much, your martial arts are way too strong for me… While I don’t personally know Saint Amorphous, my master has been his rival for the longest time!” replied Master Trilight in an anxious tone. “Who exactly is your master?” asked Gerald, wondering if this ‘master’ was the expert mentioned by that girl in the mirror. Maybe he was the true demon. The fact that her master personally knew the senior in Fyre Cave also told Gerald that he needed to be careful around that person… Either way, the priestess then replied, “He’s someone you aren’t qualified to know. Regardless, since you saved those siblings, I’m assuming you wish to become my enemy! However, since I’m a tolerant person, I’ll forgive you if you present me with a hundre
Watching as immensely powerful lightning bolts filled the sky, Master Trilight—who was still playing the flute—couldn’t help but widen her eyes in shock. Was this heavenly tribulation…?! How was he actually able to trigger a heavenly tribulation at his level of cultivation…?! Though she was now terrified, she quickly snapped out of it. If she lost focus now, things would truly be over! With that in mind, she quickly began playing the angelic flute again, making sure to maximize its power! To her shock, a deafening roar of thunder suddenly filled the sky… and shortly after, five lightning bolts broke the ancient angelic flute’s seal! To make matters worse, the lightning bolts then converged before flying toward her! With how powerful the lightning bolt now was, her purlicues were torn even before the attack got to her…! Completely frozen in fear, Master Trilight could only yell, “N-no…!” Right before the attack hit her, however, a wisp of black smoke suddenly appeared and blocke
Regardless, Master Trilight quickly replied in a respectful tone, “Y-you’re absolutely right, Master… I was truly reckless this time, and had it not been for you, I’d be dead by now…!” Sighing in response, the statue then said, “Well, I don’t fully blame you… After all, you were late to start cultivating under my guidance. With that in mind, you lack the knowledge that your three seniors possess! That aside, know that the Thordifussion Method carries the purest form of heaven and earth’s thunder. Not only can it overcome heavenly tribulations, but it can kill demons, devils, and even deities! With that said, if you ever encounter the attack again, just run!” “I shall remember that, Master…! Thank you for imparting your knowledge…!” declared Master Trilight as she kowtowed toward the statue. “Well said. Still, how interesting… It’s been a thousand years since I’ve last come across such an interesting opponent… That man seems to have a deep connection with Saint Amorphous if he was
“…I agree! Checking around for ancient books about legends in Peaceton may be our best shot at getting more information!” replied Gerald with a nod. “I’m glad you’re on board with the idea! Speaking of which, I happen to have a student working with the local botanical research institute, and I’m thinking of asking him to help us search for some ancient records!” said the professor. “Putting all that aside for now… Though you haven’t properly met that mysterious expert, since he managed to save that demon scorpion in time, he must have known about you for a while now!” muttered Darkwind with a slight frown. “Indeed. From how easily he blocked my Thordiffusion Method’s essential qi, he seemed to recognize my attack as well! Come to think of it, even that woman recognized the techniques that I inherited. If I haven’t said it already, Saint Amorphous seemed to be acquainted with that big demon. With that in mind, his power must be far beyond mine!” replied Gerald. “Still, I find it
After Master Trilight recounted all that had happened, all three masters were left shocked. Feeling his heart skip a beat, Master Greendrake eventually said, “…So… let me get this straight. Your opponent was Saint Amorphous’s heir, and the boy has nearly mastered all the techniques created by that man…?” “Indeed. It’s why Master grew interested and told me to investigate further into him. However, I figured that making a thorough investigation was going to be difficult on my own, which is why I invited you three over! That aside, from what I’ve gathered through my disciple’s resources, the boy’s name is Gerald Crawford, and he really is only in his twenties. Interestingly, he’s also a second-generation rich heir who supposedly went missing for a few years! I’m guessing that he obtained his power around then!” proposed Master Trilight. “That basic information is all we need. Father, I suggest that we get some of our men from Greendrake Church to deal with him! Once we’ve captured
“What do you two want from me?” asked Darkwind as he slowly got to his feet. “Well, after learning that Young Master Crawford’s come to town, I suggested to the Zandt’s Eldest Young Mistress to have a feast prepared for him at the Zandt manor. She ultimately agreed, which is why I’m hoping that you’ll accept our invitation to join us for a meal!” replied the evil-looking man who was none other than Filipe! “With all these men surrounding me, it’s clear that you wouldn’t have taken no as an answer anyway,” scoffed Darkwind in a slightly excited tone. He, for one, was usually the one issuing challenges. With that in mind, to think that this nobody from the secular world would dare threaten him! Chuckling in response, Filipe then replied, “You’re quite sharp, old man! With that in mind, let’s just cut straight to the chase!” Stepping up, Elain then added in a slightly impatient tone, “Look, if you cooperate and we ultimately learn that you mean us no harm, I promise that nobody in
