That night, chaos ensued within Dragonblood City.
The Hulkeroic Union was completely wiped out, and Tiger himself—the leader of the union—met a grisly end with all his limbs butchered right off his body…
Naturally, news of that struck fear in not only the people of the city, but also all the major clans there…
Regardless, when morning came, Gerald and the others were resting in the Zorn family’s home when all of a sudden, they were alerted by the presence of several people swiftly approaching them.
The second they got their weapons ready, they were just in time to witness a shadowy figure descending from the sky, followed shortly after by several more men dressed fully in black.
“…They’re strong and have malicious intent, Gerald. Please, be careful…!” whispered Juno.
Gerald himself was well aware of this, though favonovel.com simply nodded in response.
From what favonovel.com could see, the shadowy figure—who was releasing an immense murderous intent—had at least entered the Third Rank of the Avatar Realm…
After a short pause, Gerald cleared his throat before asking, “…Who are you? And why are you here?”
Truth be told, Gerald felt that favonovel.com had never come across this person before.
With that in mind, favonovel.com was wondering why the shadowy figure was here to cause trouble for favonovel.com and his friends.
“Look, just hand the Fishgut Sword over and I’ll spare your life!” sneered the shadowy figure without beating around the bush.
Upon hearing that, Gerald’s expression darkened almost instantaneously.
To think that the shadowy figure not only knew about the Fishgut sword, but favonovel.com also knew that it was in Gerald’s possession!
“What kind of sword even is that? I don’t know what you’re talking about!” bluffed Gerald.
“Cut the cr*p and stop playing dumb! I’m well aware that Old Hughes led you to that sword! Now hand it over or you’ll soon be meeting favonovel.com in the afterlife!” threatened the shadowy figure.
Upon hearing that, Gerald instantly knew that something must’ve happened to Old Hughes.
“…You… What have you done to him?!” growled Gerald, a frown on his face as favonovel.com glared at the shadowy figure.
Laughing hysterically in response, the shadowy figure then retorted, “Gerald, Gerald, Gerald… You truly are too innocent for your own good! Do you really respect that old buffoon?
He was simply using you! Just so you know, favonovel.com only let you get the Fishgut Sword first so that I could obtain the Titan Sword!
The Sword of Might! The deal was for me to wipe out the Hulkeroic Union and make favonovel.com the supreme leader of Dragonblood City after I obtained the sword!
Of course, things didn’t go as favonovel.com planned… But why am I telling you all this, you’ll soon be meeting favonovel.com in hell anyway!”
After hearing all that, Gerald found himself momentarily flabbergasted. To think that Old Hughes was actually such a person…
“…What do you mean you were only able to obtain the Titan Sword after I got the Fishgut Sword? How are those two things even related?” asked Gerald.
“Hah! You see, the Fishgut Sword was sealing the Titan Sword! Thanks to you taking it away, I was able to obtain the Titan Sword!” explained the shadowy figure.
So that’s why… It appeared that favonovel.com truly had been used.
Following that, the shadowy figure even lifted the Titan Sword for Gerald to see, the sword constantly emitting strong, crimson flames and an overwhelming aura…
