Chapters 1853.
After saying that, the demon within him started attacking Gerald!
Because in the devil is an exact replica of Gerald, he has the same powers and abilities as Gerald.
Naturally, Gerald noticed this, and he immediately began to retreat as he dodged the onslaught!
Unfortunately, as their skills were on par, Gerald's neck ended up being slightly cut off by that sharp sword.
The tip of the Astrabyss Sword had just hit Gerald's skin, but it was already bleeding. Gerald didn't even want to imagine what would happen if the sword really hit him.
Whatever the case, he could not allow this inner demon to get rid of him. After all, if he lost this battle, he would lose control of his body forever!
With that thought in mind, once he was at a safe distance, Gerald took out his own Astrabyss Sword.
"Well! Thinking of launching a counterattack?" Inner demon ejek.
"You won't get your way! I buried you deep in my heart so you could never appear again!"
Gerald said in the right tone.
"Let's see if you can win against me first!"
Shouted the inner demon as he and Gerald dashed towards each other!
Since the two were just as fast, their swords met even before a split second had passed!
With a huge 'clang', the impact of the two legendary blades caused the two to retreat a few steps!
"I hope you don't forget that I'm your dark side, Gerald! I have nothing to burden me! With that in mind, I am much stronger than you!"
Mocking the demon inside in an overbearing tone before he immediately started chanting the incantation.
Within seconds, Gerald watched all sorts of ghosts brandishing knives begin to appear! The inner demons had summoned them from the Astrabyss Sword to deal with Gerald!
Although the spirits immediately began to rush towards Gerald, the young man remained calm and only let out the spirits, one by one.
However, no matter how many spirits he killed, more would appear... That inner demon b*stard just called them endless!
Laughing crazily as Gerald was surrounded by another group of spirits, the inner demon then arrogantly proposed,
"Gerald, listen. Wouldn't it be great if we worked together? With your intelligence and my strength, we will definitely become an unstoppable force!"
Naturally, Gerald would not approve it anytime soon. While the inner demon may think that Gerald's loss is predetermined, Gerald knows that his other self is only a temporary manifestation of his worst aspects.
With that in mind, there was no way Gerald would let no one surpass him! As he thought that, an idea suddenly came to Gerald.
Understanding that it was now or never, Gerald soon began projecting his immense desire and psychokinetic powers around him.
As soon as he started doing so, his inner demons immediately began to suffer from severe headaches! Slowly kneeling, the inner demon held onto his aching head as he asked,
"You.. What have you done.. ?!"
"Remember, you are just a momentary manifestation of the devil in me. With that in mind, you won't be able to defeat me in a million years! My true strength will always be stronger than yours!"
Gerald ejeked as he walked over to his other self and grabbed her by the neck.
Glaring at the demon within him for the last time, Gerald then increased his grip strength while shouting, Shouting,
"Exterminate!"
And just like that, the inner demon disappeared, sending Gerald's consciousness back to reality.
Chapters 1854.
With that, Gerald managed to pass through his third soul bamboo, and with a swift attack, he instantly split it in half!
"Congratulations for defeating the devil in you, Gerald!"
Slightly surprised that Torme knew about his battle, Gerald was asked to say,
"Master.. Thy.. Know it?"
"Indeed. I saw everything that happened in every soul bamboo. I also know what each soul bamboo means here. In any case, if you fail to defeat your inner demons, you will eventually be swallowed up by them. If that happens, I'm sure you're aware that not only will your consciousness be sealed deep in your heart forever, but your inner Devil's? He will replace you! Fortunately, you managed to defeat him! I've got to say, you didn't disappoint me at all!"
Torme said as he looked at Gerald with a satisfied expression.
Watching Gerald nod, Torme then added in a serious tone,
"The inner devil is the dark manifestation that is in the heart of every person. Unfortunately, not many were actually able to defeat them. While I have come across many people who try to defeat their inner demons, they always end up being swallowed up by their inner demons, resulting in them becoming their worst nightmare. With that in mind, since you have managed to make it past your demons, I must say I admire you greatly, Gerald!"
"I appreciate the compliment, sir! Now, if you excuse me, I will continue with the next soul bamboo!"
Gerald replied in a haphazard tone before walking towards his fourth soul bamboo.
However, before he could touch it, Torme suddenly shouted,
"Wait!"
Turning around, Gerald raised a slight eyebrow as he asked,
"Is there a problem, sir..?"
"No need to go through the fourth soul bamboo. You have passed the test!"
Torme replied, quite surprisingly Gerald.
Before Gerald could answer, he saw Torme waving his hand and just like that, the two returned to the tower.
"It has. I actually graduated everything, sir?" Ask Gerald who is confused.
"Indeed! You are the most incredible cultivator I have ever met! With that in mind, you have the right to go to the territory of the Phangrottom Clan! As promised, I will also give you the key to the great entrance of the territory! While I'm sure you're on an incredible mission, remember that ultimately, whether you'll be able to get what you want ultimately depends on fate."
Torme.
Gerald himself is currently too surprised and happy to feel sad about the statement.
To think that he had successfully passed the examination without having to complete it completely! Torme even gave him the key to the great entrance of the Phangrottom Clan territory!
The young man's path of thought was cut off when Torme revealed a rectangular wooden box before handing it to Gerald as he said,
"That box contains the key I promised. It's yours to take now!"
Taking the box, Gerald slowly opened it, and inside, there was an iron key with the Phangrottom Rune on it.
Glad to finally get it, Gerald immediately replied,
"Thank you, sir!"
"Together, though to be honest, you deserve the key. Whatever, a little advice before you go. Phangrottoms are spiritual clans that rule over all souls. With that in mind, I'm sure you can imagine that they are not easily persuaded people. All I'm saying is make sure you're mentally prepared to deal with everything, and that includes a little bit of pain. It's no exaggeration to claim that your real exam will start once you get there!"
Advice Torme.
"understand. I'll remember!"
Gerald replied in a respectful tone.
"I'm sure you'll do it. Now leave! Passing permission is already hanging on your waist!"
Torme said as he waved his hand at Gerald.
After hearing that, Gerald immediately looked at his waist area.In accordance with Torme's words, permission passed hanging there! When did Torme even do the deed..?
