This evil method was known as the Soul Eater, and by using it, Gerald was able to quickly drain his victim’s vitality, turning it into his own. Naturally, this meant that the more souls he absorbed, the more strength and energy he would gain. None of the guardians had expected Gerald to possess such a diabolical skill, but it was already far too late for them to escape. With the same technique, Gerald swiftly absorbed the vitality of the six remaining men, resulting in each of them turning into mere piles of dust. After completing the deed, fierce determination glinted in Gerald’s eyes as he stared off into the distance. While he had now managed to recover around thirty percent of his strength, Gerald was well aware that even at his peak strength, he still wasn’t going to be a match for Queena by a longshot. With that in mind, he knew that he needed to get as far away from Queena as possible. After all, his current priority was still to locate the actual woman in white. Even

Following that, Gerald swiftly headed off to save Lord Fenderson and the others. They had been captured as well since Hendrik had planned to torture them if Gerald still refused to surrender the ancient witchcraft techniques after a while. Thankfully, Hendrik hadn’t personally done too much to them. However, though Lord Fenderson’s illness had been cured, all the fatigue, fear, and torture the ninety-year-old man had to go through had taken a clear toll on him. By the time they were all freed, Gerald found that Lord Fenderson had already been comatose for a while. As all of them began leaving the manor, a tired and exhausted Joshua couldn’t help but ask, “…Speaking of which, senior… Are you leaving again after this…? If you are, where are you headed to next…?” “I’ll be seeking out Master Ghost. I simply cannot continue staying on Montholm Island anymore! Worry not, I’ll make sure to order a few of my family’s guards to safely escort all of you back to the Salford Province,” re

“Well, Master Ghost said that while you’re currently trapped, you shouldn’t feel upset or troubled since this is simply your fate playing out, Gerald! He also added that your fate won’t be ending within a day, and nor will you be able to solve the answer that you’ve been seeking in your heart within a short period either. All of this is simply inevitable, so with that in mind, all you can do is face all your hurdles bravely!” explained Zenny. Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded. When he had last met Master Ghost in the church, Ghost had given him a reading which Gerald hadn’t really taken to heart back then. To his eventual surprise, everything that Ghost had said slowly became true in the end. With that in mind, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly regretful and ashamed now. “Anyway, he also said that your predestined relationship is much stronger than you could ever imagine! Once you encounter her and decide to face her head on, it’ll only end up affecting the people around you!

“…How on earth did he do it…? Even if he managed to regain his inner strength, it’s quite impossible for him to hide his yang energy from me…! Someone must have helped him escape! Why… Just why would anyone help him leave me?! That person… The person who’s helped him must know that I can’t lose him! That person is definitely trying to oppose me by making me continue to suffer! However, I won’t let you escape me, Gerald! Even if I have to chase you till the very ends of the Earth!” muttered Queena to herself as she trembled in near-uncontrollable anger, her bloodshot eyes reflected her extreme bitterness. Her immense killing intent alone changed the atmosphere so drastically that the entire church felt like it had just been layered with frost. By the time Gerald finally got to the foot of the mountain, he turned up to look at Langevern Church one final time… Only to find that it was now in flames! In fact, the blaze was getting so wild that fire was already spreading quickly across

“D*mn it! You must be courting your death! Let go of me!”The woman went crazy as soon as she was grabbed by her hair.She started flinging her bag around, trying to hit the person who was pulling her hair with her bag.As a result, before she could even hit the other party with her bag, the other party had already given her a tight slap across her face.There was a loud sound from the slap.The woman immediately felt as though her world was spinning, and she was in a state of confusion after getting slapped. She stumbled into a bread stall nearby, and she knocked all of the bread on display down in an instant.The person who had slapped her was none other than Gerald.After witnessing the previous scene, Gerald had become so angry and enraged that he could not hold his anger in any longer.He had seen and encountered many arrogant people in his life, but he had never seen anyone as arrogant as this.This woman was actually using a person’s pain and difficulty as a way for her
