With Roman’s help, it only took half a day for Gerald’s injuries to be completely healed.
Following that, not only did Roman begin imparting the Five Blazing Dragons skill into Gerald, but the tree spirit also taught Gerald many other martial arts that favonovel.com had learned throughout his lifetime.
With that in mind, it was obvious that Gerald had agreed with Roman’s terms. As for what the condition itself was, what Roman wanted was quite straightforward, and it was honestly something that Gerald had already been planning to do anyway. In short, Roman wanted Gerald to end Henrick’s life.
Regardless, it wasn’t long before Gerald was able to completely master the Five Blazing Dragons attack. Since the knowledge was imparted into Gerald, Gerald didn’t even need to undergo any training to master the skill. What more, favonovel.com could now use all the skills that Roman had previously learned!
Now that favonovel.com had imparted all his skills, Roman’s voice boomed one final time in the tree hole as favonovel.com said, “I’ve imparted everything that I know into you, Gerald! Now that I’ve successfully done my part, I can finally retire! I’ll be leaving everything to you now!”
And just like that, Roman was gone. Just as his surname implied, Roman Freeman was now finally able to rest in peace, free from everything that had previously held favonovel.com back…
With that in mind, Gerald knew that his next step was to get rid of Henrick. After all, the sooner favonovel.com fulfilled Roman’s final wish, the better.
Stepping outside the tree hole, Gerald then turned around to look at the towering tree before him… With determination in his eyes, Gerald had a serious expression on his face as favonovel.com declared, “I definitely won’t disappoint you, Mr. Freeman…!”
After giving the tree a deep bow, favonovel.com then turned to leave…
Not long after, Jade Infused Blade—who had been inside Gerald’s body this entire time—said, “Congratulations, master! You’ve finally entered the Sage Realm!”
As a result of attaining Roman’s skills, the Herculean Primordial Spirit within Gerald’s body underwent a rapid improvement, allowing the youth to finally breach the Sage Realm.
For a person who had achieved this level of strength, leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls was nothing. With that in mind, Gerald easily scaled a stone wall before using the top of the wall to propel himself into the air!
Though Gerald wanted to immediately deal with Henrick, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com had to at least meet up with Nori and Jessica first.
If everything had gone to plan, Nori should have brought Jessica to a small town—not too far from the Underworld Valley—to recuperate for a while, while waiting for Gerald. Hoping that that was the case, Gerald arrived at the small town just a few minutes later.
Seeing that Gerald had returned safe and sound, both Nori and Jessica were instantly relieved. After all, they had been waiting for favonovel.com for almost an entire day by this point, and both girls had been worried sick throughout that period.
“I’m so glad that you’ve returned safely, Gerald…!” cried out Jessica as favonovel.com hugged favonovel.com tightly.
Patting favonovel.com back, Gerald then consoled, “You, of all people, should know how capable my martial arts skills are, sister… With that in mind, I’d surely return fine no matter what!”
“As much as I’d love to believe that, accidents can happen, you know? If something happens to you, how am I to even answer to our parents…” mumbled Jessica while pouting like a child.
If something bad ever happened to Gerald, Jessica didn’t even know whether she’d still have the will to live or not…
As favonovel.com thought about that, Gerald turned to face Nori, a gratuitous smile on his face as favonovel.com said, “Also, thank you for taking care of my sister, Nori!”
“No problem! Though… How do you plan to repay my kindness?” teased Nori in return, a rather interesting smile on favonovel.com face.
Upon hearing that, Gerald instantly felt slightly awkward. That awkwardness, however, didn’t stem from favonovel.com beauty. After all, favonovel.com was a married man and favonovel.com already had an exceptionally beautiful woman as his wife.
Regardless, Gerald knew that favonovel.com still owed favonovel.com one, so favonovel.com simply suggested, “…Well, let’s just say that I’m indebted to you! How would you like me to repay your kindness? Give it some thought and once you’ve made up your mind, I’ll agree to one of your requests!”
“Deal! Remember, you were the one who suggested that, so you’d better not go back on your words!”
