At that moment, the leader of the three masked men—who had been standing behind Xyrielle this entire time—came forth and said, “Thank you for coming to our rescue, sir! I go by Hubert Younger!” “Oh? You were here as well, Mr. Hubert?” exclaimed the old priest as he immediately greeted the three masked men as well, making it clear as day that they were well acquainted. “Indeed! After receiving your secret message stating that Sacrasolis Mountain was in trouble, we immediately rushed over to investigate. Still, to think that Hoyt would end up getting this powerful in just a few decades since I last saw him… I honestly found it exceedingly difficult to withstand even a single blow of his. Had I not dispatched my Dragon Zone, I wouldn’t have been able to fight against him and his men at all! All that aside, I made an almost fatal mistake today when I decided to save this girl’s life! Due to that action, all three of us ended up getting captured by his men!” explained Hubert. Followin

The second his sentence ended, Gerald increased the pressure of his foot without warning! A split second later, a sickening sound was heard as Luther’s head exploded like a watermelon! Seeing that Luther had been reduced to such a state before he could even scream, some of the remaining Crawfords instantly yelled, “H-hurry! Run for it and tell the chief about this…!” With that, the hundred over terrified people began scattering in all four directions, hoping to escape with their lives intact! “Oh? Are all of you seriously trying to escape now?” said Gerald with a faint smile before closing his eyes… As soon as he did, a golden eye suddenly appeared on his forehead! Almost instantaneously, a strong light was then ejected from the eye! The light itself easily homed in on everyone Gerald deemed as an enemy, and whenever the light pierced through someone, their bodies would end up exploding in gory sounds! While all this was taking place, those standing behind Gerald could only s

“But of course! Regardless, everything is perfect now! After waiting for over a dozen generations, the prophecy of the picture of the sun is finally going to be fulfilled! After all, you’re the true bearer of the Herculean Primordial Spirit!” declared Hoyt with a laugh. “What I’m hearing is that since the mission is now complete, my family and I should no longer exist among the living, correct?” asked Gerald. “Naturally. While I admit that you’re able to see through issues pretty thoroughly, it’s quite unfortunate that there really is no other way out for you. Your fate had already been determined from the moment you were born! You were always destined to end up in our hands!” retorted Hoyt, his mocking expression filled with ridicule. After taking note of all of this, Gerald then laughed bitterly before replying, “You almost sound proud of your ability to manipulate others and play god.” “Of course, I am! As if there’s anything more exciting than that in the world!” sneered Ho

After hearing what Gerald had to say, Hoyt’s nervousness and anxiety instantly peaked. Feeling cold sweat drip down his forehead, he was now having trouble just holding the bead steadily in his hand. “I advise you to think this through. Know that if you get careless, I’ll make sure to fully dismantle you as you watch your body fall to pieces before the formation even activates… I’m not one to joke around, just in case you were wondering,” replied Gerald. “…T-that…!” muttered Hoyt as he stared at the carnage that Gerald had left behind, too nervous to even speak anymore. Both Hoyt’s hands now trembling violently, he watched as Gerald extended his own hand to take the bead off him. “So… This is the Thunderstorm Formation?” asked Gerald as he carefully observed the bead. True enough, Gerald was able to sense a small formation contained within the bead. “T-that’s right!” replied Hoyt as he nodded like an idiot. Following that, both Hoyt and Master Ghost’s eyes widened as Gerald

It had already been very difficult for him to go even further throughout all these years.It was probably because he was born into an ordinary mortal life in the first place. However, even though he was not very strong, Gerald also had very high regard for him.As for Hubert, he was naturally filled with reverence for Gerald.“My injury has been completely healed after receiving treatment from you, Magnificent Lord. I rushed here as soon as I heard that you called for me!” Hubert said as he bowed slightly.“Well, I heard Master Ghost telling me that the Dragon Squad has a very systematic underground resource network. So, I would like to ask for your help for a certain matter, Mr. Younger!” Gerald spoke up.“I owe my life to you, Magnificent Lord. So, please give me any commands you may have!”Hubert said as he bowed.“Julian, Carlos…” Gerald looked at these two men.“Yes, Magnificent Lord!”“Since the establishment of Sacrasolis Palace has already been determined, I’ll assign
