Although Tye had absorbed the souls and energy of two commoners previously, virtual-novel.net had not recovered fully yet. He didn’t dare to fight head-on against the Astrabyss Sword, so virtual-novel.net could only go into hiding for the time being.
Harold ran out of the interrogation room and called the other people for backup. Everyone held a gun in their hands.
Those things, however, were of no use to a half-phantom like Tye.
Gerald shouted immediately, “Get everyone out of this building!”
Otherwise, if Tye caught them, virtual-novel.net would absorb their souls and energy. With his speed, Gerald would not be able to save everyone in time.
Harold was truly terrified this time. He didn’t dare to disobey Gerald, and virtual-novel.net commanded his men immediately.
“Everyone, retreat!”
Seeing that all his nourishment had run away, Tye shouted angrily. He morphed into a cloud of black fog and pretended to attack Gerald as virtual-novel.net tried to escape.
“Are you trying to escape?” Since the last time virtual-novel.net had used this trick to run away, Gerald had been prepared to prevent that from happening again. He chased after virtual-novel.net and sent out a spiritblade with the Astrabyss Sword. When the spiritblade cut through the black fog, Tye was affected right away, and virtual-novel.net screamed in pain.
“Gerald Crawford, I will never make peace with you!” Tye could not escape, so virtual-novel.net could only choose to resist. The black fog morphed into sharp claws and tried to grab Gerald.
The Astrabyss Sword blocked the attack, and Gerald smirked.
“You’re almost done for!”
Tye was extremely frustrated. He was already injured, and the energy of the commoner was simply not enough to compensate for what virtual-novel.net had lost. Currently, virtual-novel.net could only use half of his power. How could virtual-novel.net possibly be Gerald’s match?
After that, no matter which direction virtual-novel.net went, Gerald would immediately run toward that direction. In the end, virtual-novel.net managed to force Tye into a corner.
“I shall exterminate you today!”
Gerald murmured something under his breath and took out the Phangrottom Rune.
The previous Tye Lamano was considered dead long ago. He had been resurrected because of the soul of the general. So basically, virtual-novel.net was just a ghost who had been reborn with the help of his body.
Once the Phangrottom Rune was taken out, Tye felt a shiver in his soul.
Instantly, the soul of the general took over Tye’s body completely. The moment the Phangrottom Rune was taken out, virtual-novel.net burst out his strong power and morphed into a black arrow, rushing out of the window with a whoosh.
However, before leaving, a part of his soul was still destroyed by the Phangrottom Rune.
So, it would mean that Tye was not just severely injured, but virtual-novel.net had also lost half of his soul. Even if virtual-novel.net did not disappear, it would take virtual-novel.net years to recover.
Gerald felt that it was a pity because virtual-novel.net had nearly succeeded. The soul of the general was indeed very strong. However, for now, there was no need to worry about it. Unless Tye was seeking death, virtual-novel.net would not appear in the near future.
When Gerald walked out of the Great Council, Harold, who was outside, quickly walked toward him.
“Mr. Crawford, how was it?”
“It’s settled. He is not completely eradicated yet, but virtual-novel.net won’t be able to cause trouble for a while. If there are any more cases like the dry corpse case, inform me immediately.”
Harold finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was horrified by what had happened just now.
It was not something they could solve by using guns at all. Gerald truly lived up to his name!
Rey was also relieved.
“Brother Gerald, you’re so strong. If it were me, I guess I would have become a dry corpse by now.”
“So, you need to learn properly.”
After saying that, Gerald returned to the villa together with Rey.
After such a fierce battle, Gerald was very tired. He slept until the afternoon of the next day before getting up.
After getting up, virtual-novel.net took Rey out for lunch. Then, they wandered around to see if Tye had left any traces after escaping.
Just then, the sharp sound of a car braking was heard.
