Gaining his father's approval, the young man then started walking towards Gerald and in a derogatory tone, he scoffed, “I hope you know that there is only surrender when it comes to our holy Holy Magic, which is sacred to us, young man! There has never been room for any negotiation in the past, nor will there ever be in the future! With that in mind, since you're obviously here to look for a compromise, you've got it wrong! Therefore, I will personally give you a lesson that you will never forget! We'll see if you'll finally tell my father what he wants to know once I'm done with you!
After laughing out loud, he then launched himself towards Gerald!
Gerald, however, was now much faster than him. In one swift move, he grabbed the young man's head before tearing it straight from his body!
The others could only widen their eyes in disbelief as the decapitated body of it—which was now spitting out a fountain of blood from its neck— fell to the ground.
“...A-what?!” raung Hendrik as Gerald tossed his son—'s head which still maintained a shocked expression that froze—to the side.
At that moment, no one at the table dared to move due to their overwhelming shock. Hendrik himself was simultaneously flabbergasted, depressed, and deeply heartbroken by the sudden turn of events.
Not long after, he managed to get out of it and once he did, he immediately stood up trembling. The extremely depressed man felt a tremendous pain from his aching heart as he shouted, “A-my children.!”.
He really did not expect that Gerald would have such great power! But it is too late to regret it now.
Gerald killed his only son!
It was at that moment that shouts filled the room as the dancing girls finally regained their senses from their horrified state and immediately started scattering to get out of there! Even that waiter—who had previously tried to stop Gerald enter—l immediately turned to run after witnessing Gerald's terrifying strength.
To her great dismay, she was only a few steps away when she felt Gerald's hand on it! Fear was the last emotion he felt as Gerald took a deep breath ...
And just like that, the maid felt like millions of small explosions were happening simultaneously all over her body! Although he was now still standing on the spot, the others watched in horror as a strange red mist began to seep out from every hole in his body! By the time Gerald's attack was carried out, the young maid's body seemed to have been sucked dry and was now nothing more than a withered black corpse!
Really horrible and cruel! Afraid of death by all this, everyone's fighting or running instincts were instantly triggered.
Run. They must leave this place!
They were all well aware that Gerald was here to take revenge on Hendrik, and even though he was their good friend they could get along with playing cards, he was a very good friend, there was no way they would stay to die with him here today, especially after seeing how tragically the servant and son of Henry died.
Although people started running in all directions, hoping to escape, it was a futile effort, to say the least. Anyway, Gerald's been planning to kill everyone here tonight.
Anyway, they can wait. After all, Chester's killer was now standing right in front of him.
Turning to see Chester—'s killer now standing right in front of him—Gerald recalled how Chester's death had filled Gerald with overwhelming grief and guilt. After all, he just died to save Gerald.
While it's true that the others in the room had nothing to do with it, Gerald just wanted them all to die here with Hendrik today, as simple as that. None of them left alive tonight!
With that, Gerald released Dawnbreaker.
Although everyone was undoubtedly fast, Dawnbreaker was faster.
Even before any of them could walk to the door, one by one, the decapitated heads fell to the ground, followed shortly afterwards by their bodies.
While he was previously filled with anger and hatred after witnessing his son's murder, after watching Gerald kill all his friends so easily, all his previous feelings were instantly replaced with panic as he began to tremble uncontrollably.
The man standing before him now... He's no ordinary man! He is the god of death! A god of death who did not even need to blink or think twice before killing! And his aura.The terrifying aura he exuded.The pressure from the Gerald aura alone made one feel like an impending disaster! Therefore, any sane person would only be able to think of surviving in his terrifying presence!
Now overwhelmed with fear, Hendrik immediately knelt down and banged his forehead against the floor quite loudly before pleading with a quivering voice, “T-please, Mr. Crawford…! Please save my life..!”
“Hmm. After all, you've always been obsessed with ancient magic techniques, haven't you? With that in mind, I'm sure you want to witness and personally experience one of the more cruel and terrifying ancient techniques! Here's how. I will plant magic within you, and from there on, it will start to damage your internal organs little by little, until your insides turn into rotten flesh! Now you can take the rest of the time left to learn it!” gerald replied as he flicked his finger, sending a glowing black sphere hovering right into the area between Hendrik's brows.
Listening to Hendrik's terrible cries of pain as he lay on the floor covered in corpses, Gerald maintained an indifferent expression as he said, “You died because of me, Chester… I will avenge you if that is the last thing I do!”
