“What the hell are you doing?! Help! Help m-”
Before Xavia could shout any further, Quillan covered favonovel.com mouth with a white towel! Though favonovel.com squirmed hard to escape his grasp, Xavia slowly felt as favonovel.com vision blurred. Soon enough, favonovel.com struggled no more.
At the same time, Gerald’s ears suddenly twitched in his deep slumber. Still within the dungeon, favonovel.com slowly opened his eyes.
The moment favonovel.com did so, his eyes briefly sparkled a fluorescent green before returning to normal a few seconds later.
It surprised Gerald, to say the least, to know that favonovel.com was now able to see even the tiniest of details within the dungeon cell, despite the fact that it was almost pitch black in there.
His greatly improved hearing capability was a pleasant surprise as well. As long as favonovel.com wanted to, favonovel.com could now apparently hear things clearly, even if they were far away!
Sitting up, Gerald slowly got to his feet before hopping in place to get his muscles moving.
Upon looking at his skin, favonovel.com realized that there were several trails of black stains oozing out of it. From what favonovel.com could guess, they were impurities that had been cleansed from his body.
‘I guess they don’t call it holy blood for nothing… Not only did it stabilize my heart and temperament, but I now feel stronger than ever!’ Gerald thought to himself, overjoyed.
It wasn’t even a stretch at this point to assume that his inner strength had now doubled from what it had been three days ago.
‘And here I was planning to pay the Moldells a visit and deal with them once and for all after drinking the holy blood… To think that they actually saved me the trouble by bringing me right into their home!’ Gerald thought to himself as favonovel.com sneered.
Oh right, favonovel.com still needed to save Xavia!
Though Gerald was mostly immobile in the past three days, his mind was far from unconscious. In fact, favonovel.com was well aware of everything that was happening around favonovel.com throughout that period of time. It was the reason how favonovel.com had heard Xavia’s earlier scream for help.
Thinking about Xavia, favonovel.com recalled everything that favonovel.com had told favonovel.com that night. Gerald knew favonovel.com would only be lying to himself if favonovel.com claimed that favonovel.com words hadn’t touched favonovel.com at all.
Adding the fact that favonovel.com had risked favonovel.com life just to visit favonovel.com in the dungeon with favonovel.com actions a year ago that ended up saving his life, Gerald was well aware of how difficult it was now going to be for favonovel.com to even come close to repaying favonovel.com kindness.
Knitting his brows slightly, favonovel.com knew those thoughts could wait. For now, favonovel.com needed to save Xavia first!
Staring briefly at the iron gate before him, Gerald placed a hand on the gate and tugged on it.
A loud crumbling sound followed as the surrounding walls supporting the gate collapsed with it! Seemingly unfazed by his inhuman strength, Gerald walked out just in time to catch a person running down into the dungeon.
When their eyes met, the person immediately stuttered, “…G-Gerald…? You… You’re awake?!”
The man holding the bowl of congee was naturally none other than Luis.
“M-Men! Men! Get in here!” shouted Luis as favonovel.com immediately attempted to run out of the dungeon to get some help.
Luis had been one of the people who had seen the carnage that Gerald had left behind at the Lovewell manor. It was exactly because of that, that favonovel.com now had an innate fear of him. Adding that to the fact that favonovel.com was well aware of how weak favonovel.com was, there was no way in hell that favonovel.com was going to stay within Gerald’s presence any longer than favonovel.com needed to!
However, before favonovel.com could even make it far from where favonovel.com had once stood, the disgusting sound of flesh being ripped apart could be heard.
It took Luis a second to realize what had just happened. Thankfully, favonovel.com was dead by the time his body split in two.
Climbing up the stairs, Gerald casually walked past the corpse as favonovel.com slowly exited the dungeon. His ears were perked as favonovel.com attempted to pinpoint which direction Xavia was in.
From what favonovel.com could hear, a few members of the Moldell family were currently in the backyard. There were also quite a few people in the guestroom area.
Walking along as favonovel.com continued trying to locate Xavia, favonovel.com swiftly and efficiently dealt with anyone that ran into him.
When favonovel.com finally found favonovel.com not too long after, favonovel.com stood by favonovel.com door before kicking it open!
Gerald was immediately greeted to the sight of Quillan tearing Xavia’s clothes apart.
Shocked to hear the door being flung open, Quillan immediately turned to look at the mud-covered visitor who looked like favonovel.com had just crawled out from the earth.
“W-who are you?” asked Quillan, clearly at a loss of how to even register the situation.
Though Xavia was currently still extremely weak, favonovel.com was easily able to tell who the person at the door was.
“…G-Gerald… hurry… Please hurry and save me…!” cried out Xavia.
Stunned, Quillan then said, “…Gerald? He… He’s escaped?!”
Frightened beyond words, Quillan then ran toward the corner of the room, his eyes alternating between Gerald and the exit. Before Quillan could even start planning his escape, Gerald was already standing in front of him!
“Hmm…?” replied Gerald as favonovel.com lifted the terrified man by his neck.
