By that point, out of fear that those from within the crowd would attempt to rescue Gerald, the two guardians—who were tasked with keeping an eye on Gerald—quickly drove away anyone who had chosen to stay behind.
As a result, only silence remained when Gerald looked up at the moon in the midnight sky.
Throughout the afternoon earlier, Gerald had remained focused on thinking up a way to break free of his seal. After all, not only was the clock ticking, but Gerald had also come to realize something from Chester’s death.
That being, favonovel.com couldn’t allow anyone else around favonovel.com to suffer any more harm or die because of him!
With that in mind, favonovel.com was eventually able to come up with a method to break his seals.
Back when favonovel.com had first come across the deity, Gerald had found a ring-shaped jade pendant that embedded several memories into his mind.
Though favonovel.com now had memories of learning several new skills, despite previously attempting to use those skills for himself, Gerald realized that favonovel.com could only actually practice a small portion of the skills.
Regardless, while thinking of ways to remove his seal earlier, Gerald recalled a training technique that favonovel.com felt could easily and quickly allow favonovel.com to break free of all three of them.
However, said technique was also evil in nature, and if the user of the technique wasn’t careful, they could easily get corrupted after receiving such a surge of power. What more, the execution of the technique was also rather cruel, even for Gerald’s standards.
Due to that, favonovel.com spent much of his remaining time wondering whether favonovel.com should take the risk and use such a dangerous technique. Even after quite some time, however, Gerald knew that in the end, favonovel.com didn’t have much of a choice. There simply wasn’t any other way, and favonovel.com was well aware that favonovel.com couldn’t afford to allow anything bad to happen to Joshua and the others due to his hesitation.
Anyhow, in order to actually use the technique, Gerald first needed to practice it for some time, so favonovel.com figured that midnight would be the best time to do so. With Gerald already having memories of the technique implanted in his mind, favonovel.com knew it wasn’t going to be too difficult for favonovel.com to practice it.
Now that midnight was here, the determined youth felt that it was high time that favonovel.com began practicing it. Since favonovel.com was left hanging mid-air now, Gerald simply closed his eyes, resting while simultaneously manipulating the flow of the meridians in his body in accordance to the paths that his implanted memories showed him.
Fast forward to a week later, Gerald finally determined that his soul was ready. It was now finally time for Gerald to use the Dawnbreaker!
‘Come forth, Dawnbreaker!’ Gerald ordered through his mind.
Almost instantaneously, the black blade flew out of Gerald’s sleeve and swiftly sliced open the rope that had been binding favonovel.com this entire time!
Now freed from his restraints, Gerald fell to the ground, almost losing his footing since his body was still slightly weak.
As Gerald let out a long sigh of relief, favonovel.com suddenly heard someone sneer, “The hell? How’d the ropes break? Hold up, looks like favonovel.com had a dagger with favonovel.com this entire time! Thankfully, the second lord sent seven of us to keep an eye on you, twenty-four hours a day! Otherwise, you would’ve surely made your escape!”
After sliding the Dawnbreaker back into his sleeve, Gerald turned to look at the seven smirking men from the Holy Witchcraft who were all staring at favonovel.com as they slowly approached the youth.
Despite how cruel his following actions would be, Gerald had already convinced himself that favonovel.com was only using the technique due to there being no other way to break the seals.
“Hey, brat! Are you going to tie yourself up or do you need us to do it for you? I’ll have you know that you’re just begging for trouble just by attempting to escape!” said the leader of the men as favonovel.com continued walking over to Gerald in a carefree manner, intent on giving the youth a few gentle slaps to the face to teach favonovel.com a lesson.
Once the leader was within range, however, Gerald immediately grabbed hold of his guardian’s head before unleashing the technique favonovel.com had been practicing throughout the week!
At that moment, a surreal and slightly chilling sound could be heard. Soon enough, the guardian’s screams of pain were added to the mix.
To the six other guardians, it looked as though a huge suction force was sucking their leader dry, causing his body to rapidly begin shriveling up as his cheeks sunk so much that his pale face now resembled a skull more than anything.
Their leader’s skin soon turned a purplish-black as it continued shriveling to a point where only ashes remained… Releasing his grasp on the ashes, Gerald turned to look at the six screaming men who were all paralyzed in fear after witnessing the horrors that Gerald had just committed right before their very eyes.
