“Humph! You truly are an expert at saying conceited things, Gerald! It appears that you won’t be able to understand how wide the gap between us is until I show you my training!” retorted Luther before laughing again.
“You’re a Second-rank master, no?” asked Gerald.
“Oh? Color me surprised! You actually know a thing or two about those who train to attain spiritual enlightenment!” replied Luther as favonovel.com stared sinisterly at Gerald.
“Just curious, but what is Hoyt’s rank then?” asked Gerald.
“Hah! Our chief is a legendary master that’s at a level close to that of a Fifth-rank master! A realm that no ordinary person would ever be able to comprehend!” said Luther, his eyes momentarily filled with admiration.
“I see. So it appears that there truly are a lot of experts within the Crawford family… To think that there even exists a fifth rank!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com rested his arms against his back.
“I do wonder why you’re still asking so many questions. No matter! I’ll just capture you first and hand you over to the chief so that favonovel.com can deal with you!”
Following that, Luther positioned his hand into a sword finger, and immediately after, flames began bursting out of his body! With a layer of fire surrounding him, the man then rushed toward Gerald!
From an outsider’s point of view, Gerald could very well be taken out in a single swipe if those large, burning hands ever caught onto him.
Regardless, everyone else present was shocked speechless by the intense flames.
This was the Fire Armor Demon Technique! Anyone using it would be able to summon flames—that could burn through anything—that would then surround the user’s body! Upon coming into contact with said flames, the virulent fire would instantly burn all the victim’s main internal organs!
‘If even Luther is already this terrifying, what kind of power does Hoyt even have…?’ Hubert thought to himself as favonovel.com trembled in fear.
By the time Luther was close enough to Gerald, Gerald still had both his hands in his pockets. He, of all people, knew that the flames were nothing to be alarmed about.
Even so, the others didn’t see things the way favonovel.com did, and Xyrielle instantly shouted, “P-please be careful, Gerald…!”
Hearing that, Gerald simply turned to look at Xyrielle before nodding as favonovel.com replied, “Don’t worry, everything’s under control!”
Following that, Gerald extended a hand before snapping his fingers.
The next thing Luther realized, a golden aura had appeared before him! Unable to react in time, favonovel.com felt as the aura’s golden rays began piercing through his body, causing his skin to start smoking!
“What?!” shouted the surprised Luther as favonovel.com instantly attempted to escape the attack. However, it was far too late for him.
The second the golden aura fully engulfed him, Luther felt as though his entire body had just been pierced through! The next thing favonovel.com knew, favonovel.com was already spurting blood as favonovel.com flew backward!
Upon landing on the ground, favonovel.com found that favonovel.com couldn’t even move a muscle anymore! The only indication that favonovel.com was still alive was the fact that his eyes were wide open on his bloodied face…
Upon snapping out of his shocked state, Luther instantly cried out in disbelief, “You…!”
Meanwhile, the other Crawfords each found themselves gulping as they slowly took a few steps back.
Luther had ended up in such a state from just a single blow…? This person was way too terrifying…!
Hubert himself had his jaw hanging wide open after witnessing all that. By god! What kind of person even was Gerald?!
Sliding his hand into his pocket again, Gerald then casually walked over to Luther. Once favonovel.com was standing before him, favonovel.com stepped on Luther’s face, slowly applying pressure as favonovel.com said, “I haven’t even utilized my true capabilities yet, you know? Is this all you’ve got to capture me with? How pathetic!”
“You…! L-look, while I admit that I severely underestimated you, know that you can’t just kill me! I’m just following orders, you know? If you really want to settle the score, you should duke it out with chief Hoyt instead of me!” replied the stupefied Luther.
“Of course I’m going to settle the score with him. However, I hope you realize that me killing you won’t affect that outcome at all! I hope you all know that I, Gerald Crawford, always keep my promises! With that said, I promised to kill all of you today, and I’ll make sure it happens!”
