Following that, an explosive sound could be heard!
Everyone could only watch wide-eyed as all the surrounding leaves began gathering in front of Yusuf, specifically in front of his chest…
The leaves then began balling up, and once the orb of leaves was large enough, Yusef bounded forward, using his chest to launch the ball of leaves forward!
At that moment, another explosive sound could be heard as the orb of leaves flew so quickly at Gerald that it was hard to even see it properly!
In response, Gerald positioned his fingers into a sword formation before declaring in his mind, ‘Go forth, Storm-Forged Blade!’
Immediately after, Gerald flicked his fingers in the direction of the orb, shooting a blade of light out in retaliation!
Explosion upon explosion ensued as the two attacks flew toward each other… Until finally, the large ball of leaves was sliced clear in two, creating the loudest explosion yet!
Everyone present could only take a few steps back in their shock, utterly stupefied by the sheer amount of power they had just witnessed.
“…What?” muttered the now bewildered Yusef. That boy… how could favonovel.com have dealt with his strongest attack so calmly?!
“You… You’ve already entered the Ninth-rank of the Rune Realm? How is that possible? When did you even make that breakthrough?!” asked Yusef in his disbelief.
“Only yesterday, to be quite honest. It’s been quite a while since my training halted at the Eighth-rank, you know? To think I’d finally make it through!” replied Gerald with a faint smile.
“You… You couldn’t have managed to do so without external help!” retorted Yusef, still unable to believe all this.
True to Yusef’s words, Gerald had only been able to breach the Ninth-rank of the Rune Realm with the aid of that cold pond. With the stimulus from the pond in addition to the ample holy spirits here, Gerald was truthfully able to get to the next rank rather smoothly.
If favonovel.com was to be completely honest, even Gerald hadn’t anticipated such rapid results.
Regardless, Gerald really wasn’t too keen on dealing with Yusef at the moment since there were so many people from the Mackowski family present.
With that in mind, Gerald then said, “Apologies, Yusef, but I still have some affairs to deal with. With that said, I’m afraid we won’t be able to determine a winner today! Rest assured, I’ll definitely come look for you once I’m done with everything! I’ll be taking my leave now!”
Following that, Gerald’s body seemed to flicker for a moment before disappearing completely!
“After him!” shouted several of the Mackowski family’s disciples.
Before they could even make a move, however, Yusef raised his hand before shouting, “Stop! Don’t pursue favonovel.com any further!”
“What? But why, master? Didn’t you say we couldn’t let favonovel.com remain alive?” asked a few of his men.
“Humph! If favonovel.com was alone, I’d surely have dealt with him! However, there seems to be an exceptional person helping that b*stard! None of you may have noticed him, but could sense his presence. With that said, we would have had to deal with two very powerful men—who’ve both entered the Ninth-rank of the Rune Realm—if we continued chasing him! That’s something even I have to admit we won’t be able to handle!” grumbled Yusef in a resentful tone as favonovel.com clenched his fists tightly…
Meanwhile, the snap of whip could be heard within the Quartermain family’s mansion located in Jaellatra’s Bario City.
“Hurry up already! If you don’t finish what you’ve been ordered to do in time, I won’t be merciful!” shouted a mustached middle-aged man.
Appearing to be a housekeeper of sorts, the man had whipped the woman before favonovel.com since favonovel.com was taking a bit too slow just to wash a few vegetables.
Regardless, though the woman was furious, favonovel.com didn’t dare to say a word…
Of course, favonovel.com was none other than Gerald’s elder sister, Jessica…
