After all, the last thing they were able to see was a blinding light from atop the tower that had forced all of them to shut their eyes…
By the time their eyes finally readjusted, Daryl Crawford, the legendary King of South Asia, was already lying on the ground!
“…What?” muttered a voice.
With such a great battle taking place, it was only natural that those from the other Crawford family would also be present at the dragon tower. The one who had spoken appeared to be some kind of young master, and favonovel.com had been watching everything through his sinister eyes from the moment the battle began. Even so, favonovel.com truly hadn’t expected that things would go this way.
‘Is grandpa unable to even lay a finger on Gerald…?’
Meanwhile, Carlos and Julian themselves were utterly amazed by what they had just witnessed… This was a battle unlike anything they had ever seen before…
“…You…. Could you have learned all those unique techniques from Liemis…? If that’s the case, then that explains why I haven’t been able to find any records of the skills favonovel.com had mastered, even after combing through the entire ancient tomb…!” asked the astonished and pale-faced old man as favonovel.com slowly got to his feet, his eyes affixed to Gerald’s…
“Honestly, had you not mentioned it, I would’ve surely forgotten to tell you about it! Regardless, there was one thing that I didn’t tell you about after I returned from the ancient tomb… You see, Brother Liemis didn’t have any physical records stored within his tomb, oh no. Instead, favonovel.com stored all that information within this jade pendant! Thinking back, it’s quite lucky that I didn’t inform you about this!” replied Gerald.
Finally seeing the bigger picture, Daryl then nodded before saying, “…Interesting…! How absolutely interesting…!”
Rather than continuing to be enraged, Daryl was now laughing… Once favonovel.com was done, however, favonovel.com calmly shook his head before turning to look at Gerald as favonovel.com added, “Still, what a pity…”
“What is?” asked Gerald.
“It’s a pity that you now have access to such talent that others won’t ever be able to obtain, even after training for several lifetimes! A pity that you’re now truly an unparalleled genius on this planet… And last but not least, a pity that you’re my enemy…! With that said, you won’t be able to escape death today no matter what! Thinking about it, I’m honestly a little pained by all this. If you were my real grandson and you didn’t have the Herculean Primordial Spirit within you, everything would’ve surely gone fantastically… Just imagine, me and you, grandfather and grandson! With our powers combined, we could easily dominate the three worlds!” replied Daryl as favonovel.com shook his head with a bitter smile.
“However, it’s now far too late for all that wishful thinking… I’m ending you today, Gerald! Otherwise, nothing in the world will be able to control you anymore with how rapidly you’re progressing!” added Daryl.
The second his sentence ended, a black Dead Annie suddenly began materializing before the old man’s chest… Though the flower was only the size of an adult’s palm, it was clear as day that it contained an extraordinary power…
As the flower slowly floated into the sky, a beam of light shot out and completely enveloped Daryl!
Barely a second had passed when yet another massive explosion could be heard coming from beneath the dragon tower!
“W-what’s happening?!”
“Is this an earthquake?!”
With even the ground below now trembling, the astonished crowd instantly began speculating what was happening.
Staring at all that was happening, Gerald found himself frowning slightly before favonovel.com asked, “And what spell are you casting this time?”
“Heh… I’m borrowing the energy from the entire nation just to initiate this ancient spell…! What I’m casting was left behind as a legacy from the ancients! It’s called the great dragon extermination spell…!”
The second Daryl’s explanation ended, favonovel.com began charging the flower with all his power! With the last of his training aura, Daryl then sent out the Dead Annie!
The Dead Annie was the ultimate flower that Daryl had spent decades to nurture… It was a transcendent magic weapon.
With its power, favonovel.com could enhance his holy sense in order to forcibly initiate the spell…
Naturally, all this power was well over what a magic weapon was capable of storing… With that in mind, Daryl had managed to get this far by doing something that nobody else had ever done before.
He had merged the Dead Annie with his heart. It was a process near-incomprehensible to ordinary people, but in the end, it worked out for Daryl.
However, this also meant that though Daryl had managed to attain the ultimate magic weapon, the Dead Annie was now essentially his heart.
Despite knowing that, Daryl wasn’t daunted in the least. As long as favonovel.com could take Gerald out, favonovel.com didn’t mind sacrificing his life!
