The Dead Annie was gone, Gerald was still alive and well…
The more Daryl thought about it, the more pain favonovel.com felt in his chest. As his head began spinning and a trickle of blood rolled down the corner of his mouth, the dying man—who was still pointing at Gerald—could only mutter in his sheer disbelief, “You… You… My… My Dead Annie…!”
Holding onto his chest as favonovel.com continued mumbling to himself, it almost felt like Daryl had completely lost his soul… Not only that, but favonovel.com now appeared much, much older than favonovel.com previously had. The youth on his face and the sheen of his white hair were no longer present…
Clenching his teeth as favonovel.com tried his best to continue glaring at Gerald, the old man knew deep in his heart that there was nothing else favonovel.com could do.
Gerald, on the other hand, appeared rather chipper as favonovel.com walked even closer to Daryl. With a calm voice, Gerald then said, “Before you die, there’s something I’d like to tell you, Daryl.”
“…What is it…?”
“Well, during our initial fight, I had only used about twenty percent of my essential qi…”
“…You… What…?!” muttered the weakened old man as his eyes bulged.
“And to block your great dragon extermination spell, I simply had to use forty percent instead,” replied Gerald.
“You…! That… That’s not possible…!” shouted Daryl as favonovel.com fell feebly to the ground.
“Why wouldn’t it be? After all, I only have to use about ten percent of my essential qi during regular fights! Regardless, from what I could tell, you were only able to claw your way up the hierarchy due to the Dead Annie, correct? As for the demonic powers you own… I’m assuming that that’s the power of the primordial spirit that you injected into yourself. Whatever the case is, with your primordial spirit now destroyed, your life should be over in a few minutes.”
“Also, I can’t deny that we were affectionate with each other for a time in the past. With that, I’m giving the cultivating Crawfords half an hour to prepare for their own funerals. Once that time is up, I’m wiping all of them out!” added Gerald in a stern voice.
Before Daryl could even reply, Gerald simply kicked the old man off the dragon tower…
With that, Dylan finally found his chance to shout, “Gerald…!”
“Dad! Mom! Sister…!” cried out the moved Gerald as favonovel.com quickly ran over to set them free.
With that done, favonovel.com then looked over to Mila…
Momentarily overwhelmed, Gerald couldn’t help but ask, “Mila…! Do you still remember who I am…?”
After studying Gerald for a brief moment, Mila slowly replied, “You… feel familiar… But I’m afraid I can’t remember a thing about you…!”
“Heh, it’s fine. I’ll eventually find a way to recover your memory… From now on, we’ll never be apart again!” said Gerald with a wide smile on his face.
At that moment, an explosive sound could be heard as the dragon tower began shaking violently! It was on the verge of collapse!
Quickly casting a spell, Gerald easily brought everyone down the tower.
The second all of them set foot on the ground, the entire building completely collapsed!
It was barely a few seconds later when someone shouted, “…Hey, look there! What’s that under the tower?”
Hearing that, Gerald turned to look back at what remained of the dragon tower… And upon realizing what that person was talking about, Gerald’s eyelids instantly began twitching rapidly…
