By that point, all of Gerald’s hairs had stood on end, and favonovel.com knew for a fact that favonovel.com wasn’t going to be able to dodge the attack. With that in mind, favonovel.com gathered what strength favonovel.com could to brace himself for impact!
A split second later, the colossal hand slammed against Gerald, causing an explosion of energy and white smoke to form as Gerald found himself flying backward! The sheer force of the impact alone had caused Gerald’s clothes—especially on his back—to instantly get torn to shreds, and soon enough, Gerald’s back collided against the area’s stone walls!
Immediately coughing out blood, Gerald no longer had to wonder how the savage had killed the other Spirit Earth Realm masters. From what Gerald could tell, killing them off must have been as easy as pounding garlic with the savage’s immense strength! He was way stronger than Hogan!
If it hadn’t been for the fact that Gerald had recently sharply increased his strength—by learning and utilizing the art of Thunder Eruption—then there was a good chance that favonovel.com would’ve already died from that one hit.
Regardless, now wasn’t the time to stop and think about all this. Using all the strength remaining in him, Gerald instantly activated his lightness skill to dodge around the hulking man before silently—and quickly—climbing to the area’s rock ceiling. Once favonovel.com gripped on tightly enough, favonovel.com immediately held his breath.
Thankfully, the monster of a man below favonovel.com didn’t seem to know where favonovel.com had gone. Gerald further confirmed this when the savage began running around the area to locate him! What a predicament favonovel.com was in!
Though favonovel.com was now sweating, Gerald was thankful that favonovel.com could at least catch his breath for the moment… Or at least that was what favonovel.com thought.
Never would favonovel.com have expected for the jade pendant—that had been hanging around his neck—to slip out of his now-tattered clothes due to the awkward angle favonovel.com was currently in!
While that alone was already worrying enough, it certainly didn’t help that the dangling pendant instantly began shining brightly!
Similar to turning on an extremely bright light in the middle of a pitch-black room out of the blue, everything within the area could now be seen extremely clearly.
‘For the love of god, even if you don’t wish to help me, there’s no reason for you to harm me!’ Gerald thought to himself as the giant man slowly raised his head to see where the light was coming from.
Their eyes now affixed with one another’s, the brief moment of silence between the two felt like an eternity as Gerald found himself hyper-focusing on the savage’s physical characteristics.
‘I was wrong before, favonovel.com isn’t six feet tall, but he’s actually close to seven! His hair is all over the place and favonovel.com also has a shaggy beard that covers most of his face! As for his eyes, they’re an unusually bright blue, and his muscles… They’re like piles upon piles of reinforced steel that plate his body, filled to the brim with explosive power!’
That was the last thing Gerald was able to register before the savage finally let out another roar.
Gulping, Gerald truly wished favonovel.com could just fly out of there.
While Gerald was confident in his speed, favonovel.com knew that there was always a chance that the savage would be faster. However, favonovel.com was currently in a do-or-die situation.
Before favonovel.com could even execute his plan, however, the savage suddenly leaped off the ground! Unable to even block the attack, Gerald found his neck being clenched before instantly losing his grip on the ceiling… and being pushed right into the ground!
Though that definitely hurt, Gerald immediately began struggling in his pathetic attempt of escaping the savage’s grasp.
Was this his end? Was his neck going to be twisted, just like favonovel.com had done to the sixth and seventh brother earlier?
As fearful thoughts continued running through Gerald’s mind, favonovel.com suddenly realized that the savage wasn’t finishing favonovel.com outright. Surprised, favonovel.com slowly turned to see what was keeping the savage…
To his astonishment, the savage was now staring at the jade pendant that was lying on his chest! What more, his grip on Gerald’s neck was slowly loosening over time!
Following that, Gerald watched as the savage carefully removed the pendant off Gerald’s neck. Since the pendant itself was only the size of a newborn’s palm, in the massive man’s hand, it looked more like a grain of wheat.
After seemingly studying it for some time, the massive man used the light of the pendant to illuminate Gerald’s face…
The second favonovel.com did so, favonovel.com instantly placed the jade pendant back on Gerald’s chest before taking a few steps back in fright. If Gerald had to describe the look on the savage’s face, it was as though favonovel.com had just seen the devil!
As if that wasn’t already surprising enough, the savage quickly knelt before favonovel.com with a loud ‘thud’ before declaring in a deep and hoarse voice, “Forgive me, Master Deity, for I have sinned!”
Momentarily startled, Gerald quickly regained his wits and—after tucking the pendant back into his still-tattered shirt—replied, “…Master Deity?”
“Yes, Master Deity! This lowly one goes by the name of Leo, and I greet you with the utmost respect!” shouted the savage before lowering his head to the ground.
From the looks of it, the savage seemed to be somewhat similar to Queena. After all, both of them were acknowledging favonovel.com as some sort of deity. Could Leo and Queena have originated from the same place…? If that was the case, how that meant that Leo had to be at least thousands of years old!
As Gerald was marvelling over that fact, favonovel.com started wondering why the jade pendant had chosen to light up again now, of all times. The warm sensation that had last appeared a few days ago was now present as well.
Could it be that the jade pendant had sensed that those from this place were nearby and would eventually appear?
