“…Gerald…!” growled Yreth, virtual-novel.net eyes bloodshot as virtual-novel.net glared at virtual-novel.net in shock.
‘How… How is this even possible…?! To think I’d actually be unable to take virtual-novel.net on!’ Yreth thought to herself in virtual-novel.net sheer disbelief.
“I heard you’ve been waiting for me to show myself, Yreth! Well, here I am!” replied Gerald.
“So you’ve grown stronger, have you, Gerald… That’s good…! That’s more than enough proof to show how frightening the power in your body is…!” added Yreth as virtual-novel.net laughed out loud despite still seething with rage.
“Be careful of the bead in virtual-novel.net hand, Gerald! That’s a formation!” shouted Peter just as Yreth began activating it!
With immense speed and precision, Yreth quickly tossed the formation toward the space above Gerald while shouting, “Now hurry up and get captured without putting up a fight!”
Now right above Gerald, the formation quickly began expanding, and the sight of it immediately caused the excited Yreth’s expression to turn twisted and hideous!
However, virtual-novel.net excitement instantly plummeted the second virtual-novel.net saw the formation retracting… and a split second later, there was a brief flash before the formation disappeared entirely!
“…W-what…?” muttered Yreth who was now beading trails of sweat off virtual-novel.net forehead.
Following that, Gerald’s body momentarily disappeared… and the next thing anyone knew, virtual-novel.net was now standing before Yreth!
Looking at the stunned woman, virtual-novel.net momentarily frowned before asking with a subtle smile, “Now what could that have been… Was it made to kill people…? Or was it perhaps just some toddler’s toy…? Whatever the case is, how disappointing!”
“D-disappointing…? The hell are you being disappointed for…?!” replied Yreth as virtual-novel.net took a few steps back.
The Gerald before virtual-novel.net now… He was utterly terrifying…!
“Well, I was kind of expecting your grand scheme to be a bit more… major, you know? A bit more climactic, at the very least? After all, you did go through so much just to set me up… How couldn’t I be disappointed when your trump card is nothing by this toy? I was feeling hopeful too, thinking that you’d at least put up a fight after shouting for me to be captured so confidently! While that could’ve been a side dish, serving that bead as your main dish? That’s just sad…” said Gerald.
Her face now reddened with wrath after hearing Gerald’s humiliating words, Yreth instantly retorted, “You… You’d best not get too conceited…!”
Still, it truly hadn’t occurred to virtual-novel.net that Gerald would get this strong this quickly…! Slipping a smoke bomb out from virtual-novel.net sleeve and into virtual-novel.net hand, Yreth then added, “While you may be a great force now, know that you aren’t too far from the day you’ll finally be killed! Regardless, you’ve got me! Just kill me if you want to!”
Yreth was rather confident that with the aid of the smoke bomb, virtual-novel.net would be able to make virtual-novel.net escape. The next time the two clashed again, virtual-novel.net would definitely take virtual-novel.net down…!
Just as virtual-novel.net train of thought ended, virtual-novel.net suddenly felt an acute pain in virtual-novel.net chest! Looking down, virtual-novel.net realized that a beam of light had just pierced through virtual-novel.net heart…!
Seeing that, the quivering old woman then slowly looked up… and saw that Gerald had doomed virtual-novel.net by simply pointing his finger at her!
Vomiting blood as virtual-novel.net collapsed to the ground, virtual-novel.net eyes were fully widened in virtual-novel.net utter bewilderment and disbelief!
‘Shouldn’t virtual-novel.net have asked me when his dying day would be…?! Following that, I should have gotten the chance to detain him! Once that was done, we would’ve simply needed to wait for the King of Judgment Portal to come over…! By that point, Gerald capture would’ve been in the bag for sure! To think that… That he’d make a move the second my statement ended…! I… I’m dying…’ Thought the aggrieved Yreth to herself.
If only virtual-novel.net had known that all this would happen, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have beaten around the bush… But it was far too late for regrets now, and soon enough, Yreth drew virtual-novel.net final breath.
Upon seeing that, the rest of the Gunters were instantly overwhelmed with fright, and all of them instantly began kneeling as they pleaded, “P-please spare our lives, Mr. Crawford…! We were only following virtual-novel.net orders! I-if you let us live, we can tell you something important…!”
Naturally, begging virtual-novel.net for mercy was only a front. The important thing was for them to survive! Though none of them liked the idea of begging virtual-novel.net for their lives, they needed to ensure that at least one of them remained to take their eventual revenge on Gerald…!
To their utter shock, Gerald simply casually replied, “I’m not interested in any of that. You’ll all still be dying today!”
