"What's that?" ask Gerald,
“Well, although all this time I have been sealed by the Portal of the King of Judgment in the secret room of the Gunter family, I am fully aware the whole time. With that in mind, I can listen to what Gunter has planned over this period, and from what I remember, Gunter seems to be holding two of your friends back. One of them has the surname Tindall, while the other surname is Baker. Both of them still had to be locked up in the secret basement of the Gunter manor!”
“So that's why I couldn't find Chester! Gerald told me to find him, you know, and I find it strange that I still don't know where he is, even after investigating for a few days! Turns out, Gunters has it!” peter said while shaking his head.
Upon hearing that, Gerald realized that his greatest fear had unfortunately come true.
Not long ago, he almost fell into the Gunter family trap, a trap involving Hogan that almost managed to kill him. While Chester remained at the hotel under Gerald— orders while Hogan was still attacking Gerald—Gerald could already sense that Chester was also in danger. After all, he knew how great the plans of the Gunters were.
Besides Chester, Gerald was also well aware of the possibility of Aiden— his best friend who had participated in a trial training organized by Gunters—. Understanding how the Gunters operate, once they are gone, Gerald knows that they will not have an easy time escaping from that family.
With that in mind, Gerald then replied, “Zyla, why don't you go first? Now that Jasmine has been saved, I can't just leave my two friends behind. I will stay back to save them!
“Are you planning on going on a solo mission, Gerald? You won't stand a chance against the Portal of the King of Judgment!” peter replied in a worried tone as Zyla looked at Gerald with a concerned expression.
“I am well aware of that, which is why I will not fight it directly! Don't worry, because I have a plan. I believe that with that, I will be able to save my friends and escape safely!” gerald said with a smile.
Gerald had honestly thought of the idea of— sneaking into Gunter Manor— much earlier while thinking of how to get more news and information from Gunter. To think that his original plan would be used as a method to save his friends!
After all, seeing how persistent Gerald was, others knew better than to persuade him to oppose him. To be honest, Zyla herself seemed to be very confident in Gerald's decision.
"All right then. Since that's the case, we'll head to the desert in the Northwest first. Since the King of Judgment does not know where Liamis is, that place will become a temporary refuge for us! We will be waiting for you there!” Zyla.
“Excellent! I would suggest the same! For safety's sake, I think you should all travel in groups. Now if there's nothing else, I'll go first. I'll regroup with you as soon as possible! ” replied Gerald as he watched everyone nod in return.
Everyone was well aware that the King of Judgment could be rushing towards them at that very instant. Not wanting to delay any further, the two sides immediately separated.
Gerald himself made sure to grab Felton — who currently looks like a wild dog — before running into the depths of the mountains.
However, not too long later, some powerful-looking people began to leap into the pitch-black slum city! After finally arriving at Peter's page, the black light —which had led others to this place— slowly turned into a faint human form.
Scanning the empty space with his cold eyes, the dark figure quickly looked at the sacrificial altar that was still in the middle of the courtyard.
A second later, Hogan started walking towards the dark humanoid before saying, "There is not a single soul in this shanty town, mister!"
“They are all blurred... And recently too...!” said the dark figure—which was clearly the Portal of the Judgment King— when his eyes turned red. In his current form, he almost looked like a demon.
“Understanding! Since that is the case, I will immediately order the subordinates to split up and search for them everywhere! ” replied Hogan.
“No need to do that. Hogan, I want you to take these people and go to the mountains in the south. Based on my knowledge—and the fact that they just went—the only way they could avoid getting caught was by heading to the depths of the mountains there!” the Commandment of the Portal King of Judgment, his eyes glittering in the darkness.
Receiving their order, the team then quickly heads to the depths of the mountains, intending to capture Gerald and his allies.
The Portal of the Judgement King himself took a deep breath before clenching his fists tightly.
“I've been waiting for this day for thousands of years, Liamis and Zyla! I will obtain the Primordial Spirit of Hercules and ascend the thrones of the three worlds!” said the Portal of the King of Judgment, his fists clenched so tightly now that his palms were whitened.
At this point, he could no longer hide the extremely evil spirit within his body…
Moving back to the search party, almost everyone from the Portal of Judgment was currently conducting a thorough search in the depths of the mountains. Of course, there were also some Gunters who helped them—because they were working together with the King of Judgment Portal— to make sure nothing escaped their sight. With so many people actively hunting them, Gerald and the others would not be able to fly out of the place, even if they had wings.
However, it did not occur to any Gunter member or Judgment Portal, that the others had long since left Qerton— City at a very fast pace—and were now heading northwest towards the desert.
Not long before dawn…
