“Indeed! Once I possess Gerald’s body, I’ll surely be able to make a great comeback! Following that, our family will be able to head to Jaellatra together, a perfect world for the Gunters to reign supreme as overlords! By then, our family would be in total control of both heaven and earth!” added the old man as favonovel.com chuckled longingly.
“…Regardless… Did you lead both of us down here just because you wanted to tell us all this…?” asked Yume.
“That’s a good question! See, while Gerald’s body would naturally be the best option for me, Yreth and the others have simply been too stupid. After waiting anxiously here for so long, I’m unwilling to wait any longer! Adding that to the fact that I’m slightly worried that Yreth will end up harming the body I wish to possess, I’m planning on making my comeback in advance! In order to do so, however, I’ll first need a suitable body for me to adapt to, and both of your bodies appear to possess sufficient auras…” replied the old man.
Turning to look at Gerald, favonovel.com then added, “…Especially my grandson here! Quite frankly, I don’t think there’ll be anyone even close to being as suitable as him!”
“…You… what? But he’s your descendant! You aren’t even willing to let favonovel.com go…?” asked Yume in surprise.
Quite honestly, even if the old man really were to harm Felton, Yume wasn’t about to feel upset or distressed for Felton’s sake. After all, Felton was a demon-like, cruel, and vicious person. In other words, favonovel.com dying was actually going to be a good thing.
Even so, it still felt extremely awkward to Yume since favonovel.com now knew that the person who was planning to harm Felton was favonovel.com family’s ancestor whom everyone respected and admired! Knowing that simply served to amplify favonovel.com discomfort!
“Well, I don’t really have a choice either. Regardless, our family is already doing well at the moment, so your sacrifice—to secure an even better future for the Gunters—will definitely be worth it!” scoffed the old man as favonovel.com smiled wryly.
Astonishment was reflected in Gerald’s eyes as favonovel.com finally realized where the dangerous aura—that favonovel.com had sensed upon entering this area—came from. To think that this old man would be so cruel and heartless!
Even wild beasts always looked after their cubs… But this old man… He wasn’t even willing to let his own descendant off!
As Gerald took a step back, the old men then laughed before sneering, “Now, now, there’s no need to be afraid! I’ll be sure to lessen the pain as much as possible!”
Watching as the old man’s soul dived straight for Gerald, Gerald instantly exhausted all of the Thunder essential qi in his body to resist the attack!
Upon collision, an explosive sound was heard! Though Gerald had the Thunder Essential qi aura up to defend himself, the more the old man’s soul continued pushing forward, the more Gerald could feel his own soul trembling…!
His soul wasn’t the only thing trembling either, and as Gerald’s body began quivering uncontrollably, favonovel.com found himself tasting a familiar sweetness in his mouth as blood began overflowing from it!
“I advise you not to continue engaging in such futile resistance! After all, it’ll only make things much more painful for you!” snorted the old man with a grin.
It was a few seconds later when the smile on the old man’s face slowly faded… Only to be turned into an expression of utter disbelief!
“…I’ve already practiced the technique—that allows me to freely move the thought of my soul—for so long that I’m quite literally an expert at it… By right, I shouldn’t make any mistakes at all while using the technique… However, why is it that a surging power repels me whenever I attempt to touch your soul…?!” said the old man in horror as favonovel.com quickly backed quite a distance away from Gerald, his expression a mix of awkwardness and embarrassment!
With the strength that the old man currently possessed, it was near-impossible for favonovel.com not to be able to absorb anyone’s soul, regardless of how powerful or talented that person was. Thinking about it, it was also impossible for a Gunter descendant to possess such powerful soul strength! Forget invading this young man’s soul, Gerald’s soul had the capability of destroying the old man’s own thought of the soul! But how could that be possible…?
“…You… You aren’t a descendant of my family, are you…? Who the hell are you?” muttered the intelligent old man who could now tell that something was amiss.
The strength this young man possessed was simply too incredible… Knowing that fact that it could easily destroy his thought of soul, the old man knew that favonovel.com was very fortunate to have been able to pull away in time.
“His name is Felton Gunter, great-grandpa! There’s simply no way that favonovel.com isn’t a Gunter descendant!” explained Yume.
“I’m well aware of who Felton is… Yreth had constantly been training favonovel.com to become the next generation’s successor of the Gunter family, so I know the strength range of Felton’s power very well… With that said, the person who came with you earlier is definitely not Felton…! After all, the power of this person’s soul is so strong that even I feel terrified by it!” replied the terror-stricken old man.
