Gerald’s golden light then flickered before completely enveloping the already faint, black light. And with that, the black light was no more, completely overwhelmed by the immense power.
‘So my potential has finally been released… If this is truly the Herculean Primordial Spirit, then that means I’ve successfully unlocked the first stage of the Primordial Spirit! Though I do wonder… Once I unlock all nine stages, will I really be capable of causing massive destruction to both heaven and earth…?’ Gerald thought to himself in amazement.
Whatever the case was, Gerald then lifted the unconscious Yume off the ground before tearing his mask off, revealing his true face. Just as favonovel.com was about to leave with her, however, favonovel.com suddenly noticed a rather strange piece of equipment built in the center of the secret chamber.
It looked like some kind of pool, and above it, was a blue light that dispersed a blue liquid from it, not unlike how automatic water fountains functioned. The pool itself seemed to be emitting its own blue glow.
‘…This should be what Felton was telling me about… It should be the cornerstone that this family—with secret techniques—used to train their inner strength…! In other words, this should be the source of their family’s power…!’ Gerald thought to himself.
“Well, since I’m already here anyway, I may as well make the best of the situation. In order to repay your kindness, I’ll be passing on a special training technique to you, Yume! Still, it truly seems that both of us can never be on the same path after all!” muttered Gerald with a wry smile as favonovel.com shook his head.
Following that, favonovel.com gathered some strength in his palm before blasting the concentrated energy at the cornerstone!
Upon hitting its mark, the blue crystal sphere rolled to the side and the stone platform ended up shattering to pieces in an explosive sound, causing the liquid in the pool to immediately flow out!
“Let’s see how arrogant you can continue being after taking this away from you!” sneered Gerald before picking the blue crystal sphere up and leaving the place for good.
Meanwhile, Yreth—who had been busy commanding the rest of the Gunters in favonovel.com search for Gerald—suddenly felt favonovel.com heart palpitate, prompting favonovel.com to shudder and shout, “…Something’s not right…!”
“What is it, Lady Yreth?” asked one of favonovel.com subordinates.
“Something’s happened at home…! It seems that our foundation has shaken!” replied Yreth as favonovel.com frowned incredulously.
She knew for a fact that the place where their foundation was hidden was extremely deep and well-concealed. What more, ‘he’ would’ve been standing guard there as well. With that in mind, how could it have shaken…?
If the Gunters no longer had the foundation, then they’d never be able to continue making any progress in their training. Should that come to be, then all the Gunters could do in future was sit idle till their fortune ran dry! Worst come to worst, all it would take was a few years for there to no longer be any more new Gunters who possessed any knowledge of secret techniques!
As favonovel.com was thinking about that, one of favonovel.com subordinates suddenly called out in a panicked voice, “W-we’ve found him…! Lady Yreth, we’ve found him…!”
“What? You’ve found Gerald? Also, why do you look so panicked?” asked Yreth as favonovel.com eyes instantly lit up. Turning to face the direction of the voice, favonovel.com saw several Gunters carrying a person as they rushed toward her.
Gulping, the subordinate then miserably replied, “…I-it’s not Gerald, Lady Yreth… We… We found Mr. Felton’s body…!”
“…W-what did you say…? Felton’s body…?!” said Yreth as favonovel.com felt an acute pain in favonovel.com heart.
By the time the subordinates stood before favonovel.com with Felton’s body, Yreth was feeling so faint from the shock that favonovel.com required someone to support favonovel.com body.
Upon carefully inspecting the body, favonovel.com heavy-heartedly had to acknowledge that favonovel.com grandson was dead… But how could that be…? Hadn’t favonovel.com already returned home…? Why was his corpse here then…?
…If favonovel.com was here this entire time… Then… Who was the Felton back at Gunter Manor?
As a sea of questions arose in favonovel.com heart, favonovel.com slowly began connecting the dots… Before favonovel.com eyes widened in astonishment.
“…This is bad. Everyone! Hurry and return to the Gunter Manor with me…!” commanded Yreth.
