It was late into the night when the three of them finally decided to return to their tents to sleep. Due to the wild boar incident, all three of them shared a tent. That way, they could increase the odds of them sensing danger and allow them to assist each other if they were attacked. Thankfully, all was quiet that night, and the trio woke up early the next morning. Leaving the tent as soon as he got up, Gerald realized that there were already a number of birds feasting on the wild boar’s carcass, with most of them being eagles and vultures. Gerald paid them no notice, and instead began packing up. It was around nine when all three of them were up and ready to continue on their journey into the depths of the forest… According to Old Flint’s map, walking past the phosphorite mountain area would allow them to accomplish their second step. Of course, that was easier said than done. After all, not only was the phosphorite mountain extremely vast, but the trio had no idea what k

Her cries only made Juno’s heart ache even more. Gerald himself could only shake his head as he slowly walked out of the room… Stepping out, Gerald then signaled for Rey—who was still hiding—to come over. Seeing that, Rey then quickly made his way toward the house… But the second he saw how bloody it was now inside, he instantly dashed out again to puke his guts out! Since this was the first time he had seen such fresh corpses, it was undoubtedly a great shock to him… Knowing that, Gerald couldn’t really blame Rey for his reaction. After all, Gerald himself was only this nonchalant toward the dead since he was used to seeing corpses by this point. With that in mind, Rey’s tolerance toward sights like these would surely rise the more corpses he witnessed in future. Regardless, it was some time later when Rey finally gathered the courage to look at the corpses again. Once Gerald made sure he was fine, the duo then got to work burying the corpses. Naturally, they buried the girl’s

The memory erasure technique truly was something else… Whatever the case was, Gerald then turned to look at Rey before ordering, “…Go see if you can find any books or ID cards belonging to her.” “Roger that!” replied Rey as he instantly began searching around the house. It wasn’t long after before Rey managed to find a book with her name written on it… Handing the book to Gerald, Rey then said, “Master, I think I’ve found it! Her name should be Yrsa!” Taking the book from Rey, Gerald then looked at it before handing it to the girl and saying, “…Yeah, your name appears to be Yrsa!” Now holding onto the book, the girl couldn’t help but furrow her brows, a clear indication that she didn’t even recognize the book. Vexed out of her mind, Yrsa then began shaking her head again as she replied, “…I really can’t remember if that’s really the case…” “Don’t worry, I’m sure it’ll come back to you one day…” consoled Juno. “I hope so… Still, who are all of you…?” asked Juno in a cu

“Listen closely and forward my order around! Everyone’s to be fully armed at all times! Also, gather some purple Soul Hunters to hunt down that trio! I want them dead by the end of all this!” yelled the cloaked man after a short pause. “Loud and clear, leader!” yelled the other Soul Hunters as they raised their fists in response. Gerald and the others had no idea just how much danger they were going to be in soon… Regardless, it wasn’t long after before the night sky began encroaching in… By that point, Gerald and his party had set up camp under a large tree and were already grilling the remaining meat over a fire they had started. Since Rey was chatting with Yrsa, Juno chose to stay by Gerald’s side instead. There was a brief moment of silence between them, but eventually, Gerald took in a deep breath before saying, “…Hear me out, Juno, but I have an idea of sorts!” Raising a brow, the amused Juno already had a hunch as to what his idea was. “Does your idea go along the

“You Soul Hunters just don’t know when to give up, do you?” scoffed Gerald as he glared at them. “Shut it! You killed quite a number of those from our organization, kid! With that in mind, we’re making you pay if it’s the last thing we do!” yelled the leader of the group as he angrily pointed at Gerald. It was only a second after his sentence ended when the four other Soul Hunters began charging at Gerald! With how fast these purple Soul Hunters were, Gerald could immediately tell that they were on a different level compared to the black Soul Hunters. After all, aside from their immense speed, they also appeared much stronger. The leader of the organization must have been furious if he was sending so many of his best men over to kill Gerald. Regardless, it wasn’t long before the five Soul Hunters were attacking Gerald from all directions with multiple techniques. Truth be told, he was just glad that all of them chose to attack him instead of going after his party. Either way,
