With the Dead Annie still merged with his heart, it was near-impossible for Gerald to truly kill Daryl. After all, no amount of power would’ve been able to destroy that ultimate magic weapon. Even so, Daryl was well aware that if he didn’t use the flower to initiate the great dragon extermination spell, he wasn’t going to be able to lay a finger on Gerald. He wasn’t about to allow such a strong demon to exist! Not on his life! With that, the Dead Annie continued shining brighter than ever! Meanwhile, mass destruction was occurring at the foot of the dragon tower! As multiple draconic screeches filled the air, even more dark clouds began flying toward the area, completely covering the sky… Even to the ancients, the spell had a reputation for being extremely powerful… With that said, changes in both the sky and earth were only natural once the spell was cast. As all this was happening, Carlos, Julian, and the rest could only look around them rather anxiously. “What’s the mean

While a huge cloud of dust was still floating around in the air, a deep ravine had clearly formed beneath the tower… However, that wasn’t what shocked everyone most. Oh no, their surprise stemmed from the fact that colorful lights were being emitted from within that very ravine! With such dazzling lights that lit even the darkened sky, it made everyone feel like there was treasure waiting to be uncovered down there… However, seeing that Gerald wasn’t making a move, nobody dared to go any closer. After all, after witnessing such a deadly battle with their very own eyes, all of them were naturally concerned about whether the King of the North would end up killing them if they weren’t careful… Daryl, on the other hand, was quickly being carried away by the other Crawfords… When he saw the colorful lights, however, his eyes instantly widened as he shouted, “…No… No…!” Even so, nobody appeared to hear his cries… In a way, it was almost as though he was desperately trying to stop s

With that said, it appeared that there were actually others back then who had managed to attain the realm of the Immortal Body… In recent times, however, people were skeptical even when it came to the existence of Ninth-rank Chakra Kings, so nobody even considered the existence of Sages. This was mainly due to the sudden depletion of holy spirits on the planet back then. Due to that event, not only was there great turmoil between heaven and earth, but calamities also happened rather frequently for a time. Regardless, all this eventually spelled the fall of the era of great trainers… Either way, there were a few who were lucky enough to discover that the earth was actually hollow inside. Realizing that there existed another world between the earth’s crust and core, those who found ways to escape there were able to survive the great catastrophes… In this other world, the earth’s core was their source of energy, not unlike the sun. Regardless, following that, not only did they m

“What’s on that map, master?” asked Master Ghost when he saw Gerald’s sudden change in expression. “…This is the first of two maps. This one shows the entrance to Jaellatra…! As for the other, it appears to show a dimension separate from both earth and Jaellatra… According to this note here, Primocoroses could possibly be found there!” explained Gerald. Finding a Primocorose today was equivalent to trying to look for a specific grain of sand within a desert… With the help of Daryl—of all people—however, they now had information on where to possibly look for the plant! Though he was excited, Gerald couldn’t help but feel pitiful toward Daryl. After all, that old man had made such thorough planning all this time… There was no way he could’ve anticipated that all his hard work would end up becoming another person’s prize in the end… From what Gerald could assume, Daryl had wanted to use Gerald’s Herculean Primordial Spirit as a scaffold to attain higher levels of training. Follo

With a loud ‘thud’ the stone door finally opened fully, and out stepped Gerald… While his appearance hadn’t changed by much in the past five years, there was a notable change in his temperament. If one had to describe it, he now had the unambiguous aura of a superior. “Master!” shouted everyone present as they bowed deeply toward him. Nodding slightly, Gerald then turned to look at the pleased Mila who was unable to hold herself from saying, “You’ve finally returned, Gerald…!” “Indeed. Even so, I’ll have to speed up my training. Otherwise, I won’t be able to deal with the repeated attacks from the Ringmasters of Obliteration and those Chakra Kings!” replied Gerald. “You’re currently exuding an extraordinary aura, master… Could it be that you’ve managed to become an Eighth-rank Chakra King…?” asked Carlos who was amazed by the immense change that he sensed within Gerald. “I have. With the help of the source of the holy spirits, I was actually able to break through the Eighth
