Chapter 1091 I Killed Gerald stood up and said, âYou all stay inside, Iâll go out and take a look!â
After he finished speaking, he reminded Sylvie, âAfter hearing what youâve said, I feel like this situation is indeed a bit tricky. So...
no matter what, donât admit to anything. Just maintain the strength at the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay.â âAll right!â Sylvie nodded obediently. With that, Gerald stood up, walked out of room, and headed towards the city the wall!
After climbing the city wall, he looked down and saw that not far below the wall, an elderly man dressed in white, with divine poise and sagelike features, was slowly walking towards him. The man carried a snow-white sword on his back, appearing like someone who has attained immortality. However, at this moment, he had a furrowed brow, looking at the messy ground in front of the Archaic Tribe, and then glancing at the members of the Archaic Tribe who were busy cleaning up the battlefield.
âBig trouble!â Dante exclaimed, standing on the city wall. âHow did this old man get here?â You look about the same age as him,â
Gerald said with a smile. âWhoâs older between the two of you?â
Dante was speechless, glaring at Gerald as he said, âNow is not the time for jokes like this. Do you know who he is? Heâs Larry Freeman, the Elder Swordsman of Infinito.â âI know, I just saw him a few days ago!â Gerald said with a grin.
Indeed, he arrived at Promise Island just about five days ago. When he left the City of Phoenix, he even met Elder Swordsman.
The two of them had indeed seen each other about seven or eight days ago.
Arenât you scared?â Dante asked with a frown. âSince heâs here, it proves that what Junior said is true. Junior has already told others about Sylvieâs situation.â âDoes it become true just because he said it? Canât we just not acknowledge it?â Gerald chuckled.
He then raised his head and looked down at Elder Swordsman, grinning as he said, âElder Swordsman, long time no see!â Elder Swordsman saw Gerald and a hint of surprise appeared on his face, as if he didnât expect Gerald to be in this place. However, he didnât pay attention to Gerald and instead focused on Dante, asking, âYouâve gone to battle with Xena and Junior?â Dante was no stranger to the ways of the world. Although he felt apprehensive, his face remained expressionless as he said, âYeah, damn it, that jerk Junior just made up some random excuse, claiming that our Archaic Tribe has an oracle, and then brought people to attack my base. He wanted to walk all over me, so I fought back directly.â âSo... isnât that Sylvie of yours an oracle?â The Elder Swordsman said with an indifferent expression.
Although he spoke calmly, there was a powerful aura in his tone. Gerald noticed that although Danteâs upper body didnât show any signs, at this moment, his legs were trembling. Clearly, someone at the level of an Elder Swordsman is not comparable to an ordinary Eternal Flame Decayer. Even though Dante was an Eternal Flame Decayer, he was still somewhat afraid of this person. 11 Gerald smiled faintly and said, âYou guys talk about this oracle thing, but Sylvie and I, along with some others from the Archaic Tribe, came to Promise Island to carry out some tasks. This old man, Junior, followed us and made up a random excuse to try to get us to hand over Sylvie. He probably saw me with Sylvie and figured I would protect her.â
âTo put it bluntly, this old man just wants to take a shot at me,â Gerald said disdainfully. Elder Swordsmanâs brow furrowed slightly. Instead of directly believing Geraldâs words, he looked at Gerald and Dante and asked, âWhere are Junior and Xena?â
âDead!â Gerald shrugged his shoulders. Elder Swordsman was taken aback as he looked at Gerald and Dante, asking, âWhere are the people from Soulreaper Sect?â
Just kill them all. If they want to lay a hand on me, they should be prepared to die here,â Gerald said again, seemingly casual.
âSo youâre saying... thereâs no way to verify this?â Larry Freeman looked at Gerald, his eyebrows deeply furrowed. If someone were alive, they could ask why Junior would attack the Archaic Tribe Base for this reason. In fact, from the very beginning, he had doubts about the truthfulness of Juniorâs words.
However, on his way here, he felt that the reason Junior said this was not just because thereâs no smoke without fire. If it were false, Soulreaper Sect spreading such a rumor would be almost like directly tearing their faces with the Archaic Tribe. Junior probably isnât that foolish. Now that everyone had been killed, he couldnât help but feel even more doubtful in his heart.
Suddenly, he thought of something that didnât seem right. He looked at Dante and asked, âJunior and Xena are both dead? Did you kill them?â âIâm the one who killed!â Gerald said with a faint smile. Hmm?â Elder Swordsman looked at Gerald and said, âYou killed them?
You...â
âYes, I know you said it would take me three years to reach the eternal level of Flame Decay, but I guess I got lucky. It didnât even take me three years; it seems like I broke through in just about a week. Honestly, this eternal level of Flame Decay doesnât seem as difficult to achieve as you made it out to be,â Gerald said with a shrug.
However, upon hearing Geraldâs words, everyone nearby couldnât help but twitch the corners of their mouths. This remark is really asking for trouble. However, they had to admit that Gerald was indeed a monster of talent.
Even Elder Swordsman was astonished at this moment, as he looked Gerald up and down repeatedly. After a long time, he slowly exhaled and said, âSo... youâve killed all the people from Soulreaper Sect, including the two Eternal Flame Decayers?â
âNow is the time when we need people the most. We are fighting against Nether Palace, do you know what it means to have two Eternal Flame Decayers on our side?â Elder Swordsman said to Dante. âI killed the man, but itâs not like I had a choice when he had a knife to my throat!â Gerald responded indifferently.
After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, Elder Swordsman raised his head and looked at Dante, saying, âSylvie is in the base, right?â âYes!â Gerald nodded and said.
âLet her come out so I can see if she has the divination attribute. Iâll be able to determine that myself!â said Elder Swordsman.
Gerald chuckled lightly and said, âAlready made up your mind?â
âSheâs only at the peak Half-Step Flame Decay level, what notable attributes could she possibly have?â Gerald said calmly. âLet me see her and give it a try, then weâll know everything,â Elder Swordsman said as he looked at Dante again. âBy not letting her come out, youâre only proving your guilty conscience. Dante, you must know what the divination attribute means. Youâd better weigh your options carefully, for the sake of the Archaic Tribe and the entire planet.â âWhat a joke!â Gerald said calmly, âAccording to your logic, anyone can make up a rumor, and it proves the existence of the divination attribute. Now that youâve started this, wouldnât it mean that anyone from the Archaic Tribe can be randomly dragged out for verification whenever someone makes up a rumor?â
After finishing speaking, Gerald sneered and said, âAlright then, I now suspect that your Infinitoâs Empress Regina actually has dual attributes. The other attribute is the language attribute, and she is also an oracle. Why donât you bring her out and let her prove it to us?â
As soon as Gerald finished speaking, a sharp aura suddenly rose from Elder Swordsman. He said, âGerald, do you think that just because youâve reached the eternal level of Flame Decay, no one can touch you? Others may fear Alcoholic, but I, Larry Freeman, am not afraid!â With that, he looked intently and said, âCall Sylvie out. After I verify, if sheâs only at the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay, then everything will be fine and nothing will happen.â Then he looked at Gerald and said, âGerald, youâd better not get involved in this matter, otherwise, I wonât be able to protect you from Alcoholic!â Gerald licked his lips and said, âWhen I was at the supreme level of Flame Decay, I wasnât even afraid of you, the Eight Forces, let alone now that Iâve reached the eternal level of Flame Decay. Do you think Iâm still afraid of you? If you want to verify Sylvie, I agree, but I have one condition. I now suspect that Empress Regina is an oracle. If you let Empress Regina come out for me to verify, Iâll let Sylvie come out for you to verify!â
âGerald!â Larryâs long white hair swayed without wind, and the white-colored longsword on his back began to tremble violently.
Geraldâs hand rested directly on the hilt of the Dragon Saber, but deep down, he had no confidence at all. After all, the person standing before him was one of the few at the very top of the Havotune hierarchy.
