As a result, only silence remained when Gerald looked up at the moon in the midnight sky.
Throughout the afternoon earlier, Gerald had remained focused on thinking up a way to break free of his seal. After all, not only was the clock ticking, but Gerald had also come to realize something from Chester’s death.
That being, he couldn’t allow anyone else around him to suffer any more harm or die because of him!
With that in mind, he was eventually able to come up with a method to break his seals.
Back when he had first come across the deity, Gerald had found a ring-shaped jade pendant that embedded several memories into his mind.
Though he now had memories of learning several new skills, despite previously attempting to use those skills for himself, Gerald realized that he could only actually practice a small portion of the skills.
Regardless, while thinking of ways to remove his seal earlier, Gerald recalled a training technique that he felt could easily and quickly allow him to break free of all three of them.
However, said technique was also evil in nature, and if the user of the technique wasn’t careful, they could easily get corrupted after receiving such a surge of power. What more, the execution of the technique was also rather cruel, even for Gerald’s standards.
Due to that, he spent much of his remaining time wondering whether he should take the risk and use such a dangerous technique. Even after quite some time, however, Gerald knew that in the end, he didn’t have much of a choice. There simply wasn’t any other way, and he was well aware that he couldn’t afford to allow anything bad to happen to Joshua and the others due to his hesitation.
Anyhow, in order to actually use the technique, Gerald first needed to practice it for some time, so he figured that midnight would be the best time to do so. With Gerald already having memories of the technique implanted in his mind, he knew it wasn’t going to be too difficult for him to practice it.
Now that midnight was here, the determined youth felt that it was high time that he began practicing it. Since he was left hanging mid-air now, Gerald simply closed his eyes, resting while simultaneously manipulating the flow of the meridians in his body in accordance to the paths that his implanted memories showed him.
