It didn’t take long for the streams of water to encircle Gerald’s hand.
Gerald could only make out the vague outline of his hand at this point due to the water’s transparency…
The duo was then greeted by an explosive sound from behind them without warning!
Following that, they were both just in time to see the Fishgut Sword emerge from the pillar! Gerald also realised at that point that the water streams had already receded…
Regardless, his train of thought was interrupted when favonovel.com heard Old Hughes exclaim, “Get the sword, Gerald!”
Gerald turned to look at the old man when favonovel.com heard that, then went over to get the sword…
A surge of power rushed from the sword and into his body the second favonovel.com grabbed it.
Gerald felt a familiar unease in his elixir-of-life field as the immense power spread from his palm before spreading throughout his body…
Gerald knew favonovel.com was about to have another breakthrough because his elixir-of-life field was overflowing with power!
Gerald exclaimed, surprised and delighted, “I… I can feel another breakthrough coming!”
The Fishgut Sword appeared to be just as powerful as the Astrabyss Sword.
After all, it was only by wielding the swords that favonovel.com had made breakthroughs!
Gerald quickly sat down after retrieving a Heaven’s apple from his storage ring and eating it, as favonovel.com was used to similar situations.
Gerald was promoted to the Second rank of the Avatar Realm shortly after the Heaven’s apple took effect!
“How are you feeling now, Gerald?” Old Hughes inquired, his voice slightly concerned.
Gerald smiled subtly, then chuckled before responding, “I’m feeling great!”
The sword was so strong that it allowed me to break through another rank in my strength in an instant!”
While favonovel.com was pleased with everything, favonovel.com was also surprised that favonovel.com had been able to make such a breakthrough. With that out of the way, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com needed to thank Old Hughes properly.
After all, Gerald would not have been able to obtain the Fishgut Sword or increase his strength by this much in such a short period of time if it hadn’t been for the old man leading favonovel.com here.
With all of this in mind, Gerald bowed in front of the old man and said, “Thank you for bringing me here, Old Hughes!”
While I’m grateful to have obtained the Fishgut Sword, I’m still intrigued by its name…”
“Well, in actuality, its true name is the Sword of Courage!” Old Hughes joked when favonovel.com heard Gerald’s question. You know, it’s one of the ten ancient holy swords.
That power you inherited a while back… The sword has bestowed upon you the power of courage! You should know that the sword only recognises the brave, and those who do are granted immense power!”
While this didn’t explain why the sword had been given that name, it did explain why Gerald had been able to make a breakthrough simply by holding the sword.
After all, favonovel.com wouldn’t have dared to take on the task of saving the world if favonovel.com hadn’t been brave…
That’s why the Fishgut Sword smiled at him…
