However, it wasn’t long after before he realized that someone had locked onto his aura! No matter how much he attempted to get rid of the person who was tracking him down, he simply failed to do so!
‘Is it truly God’s will that I won’t ever be able to find Mila and Second uncle…?’ Gerald thought to himself rather anxiously.
What sort of immense supernatural power did Queena even possess…? Quite honestly, she was probably the only other true top master whom Gerald had ever met aside from Finnley. How absolutely terrifying!
Despite knowing how stacked the odds were against him, Gerald persevered on, willingly exhausting what little strength he had left as long as there still existed a glimmer of hope.
It was around three in the morning when Gerald finally arrived at the foot of Langvern Mountain.
By then, the person who had locked onto his aura was also feeling much closer than she was before. Knowing that she could very well catch up to him soon if he continued loitering around any longer, Gerald immediately began dashing up the mountain.
However, the second he arrived at Langvern Church, he was left completely astonished. The entire church was empty!
Due to how dusty the area was, Gerald felt that it was safe to assume that everyone who used to partake in the activities here had long evacuated the building. Not wanting to give up without trying, Gerald tried to locate any traces of auras within the church. To his dismay, he couldn’t detect a single soul inside aside from his.
“…How could this be…!” said Gerald to himself, looking slightly lost and desolate as he stood in the room in the back that Ghost had once led him to.
His current situation was similar to a setting where he had just managed to start a fire after much difficulty. However, before he could even begin warming himself, someone had doused a basin of cold water all over it.
In other words, after going through so much, this was a visualization of how disheartened Gerald was now feeling.
What still surprised Gerald most, however, was finding out that Ghost and the others had left so suddenly. Why had they left in the first place…?
