The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1571

By the time the shocked Julian could feel his heart sink, the gargantuan green dragon was already inches away from Gerald!

However, the next thing everyone knew, a golden arc of light suddenly appeared and completely enveloped Gerald!

The second the dragon touched the arc of light, it instantly retracted! From an audience’s perspective, it looked like something had shocked it to the core!

“My god! What tactic is he even using?!” exclaimed the surprised Carlos who didn’t even dare blink as the battle went on.

Daryl found himself equally as surprised as well. After all, he, of all people, knew how powerful the Double-dragon spell truly was.

While Daryl knew that Gerald had summoned that golden arc of light to shield him from the attack, he hadn’t the slightest idea of what the arc of light actually was.

It couldn’t have been a magic weapon since that wouldn’t have been able to block the Double-dragon spell… The arc was most probably not cast through the use of mere inner strength either. After all, no amount of inner strength—no matter how strong it was—would’ve been able to block the spell’s power.

With all that in mind, what the hell was going on…?

His heart now racing, Daryl turned to look at his green dragon that had almost dematerialized from Gerald’s arc of light alone.

Shortly after, he watched as Gerald slowly floated into the air… and it was at that moment when he realized what was really going on.

Though he was still surprised, his gaze tightened as he declared, “So, it appears that you’ve learned a lot more secret techniques than I’ve anticipated! No wonder your fighting strategies are always so amazing!”

Following that, he began gathering power in his hands again… and this time, both dragons began charging toward Gerald!

With sparks of electricity running down the dragons’ bodies, both of them rammed straight into Gerald’s protective shield!

“You’re wasting far too much of your essential qi, you know, Daryl? I fear that your essential qi will have completely depleted before you even start fighting me head-on! Still, I’m sure you already knew that you couldn’t defeat me using regular means after our little clash yesterday… With that in mind, I can’t help but wonder if you proceeded to invite me to a duel thinking that this weak spell of yours could kill me…”

Despite the two dragons continuously ramming into Gerald’s protective shield of light, all that did was further thicken the shield’s layers!

“Impossible… Impossible…!” roared the pale-faced Daryl whose arms were already filled with bulging blue veins…

Unwilling to just accept this, Daryl kept on ordering the dragons to crash into Gerald’s arc of light slowly depleting his essential qi… Deep inside, however, Daryl knew that all he was doing was for naught.

How on earth was Gerald this powerful…? Daryl knew for a fact that Gerald was only a Third-rank Chakra King during their battle yesterday… Now, however, Gerald’s training was very evidently beyond that. Daryl’s power wasn’t even closely comparable to Gerald’s anymore! The Herculean Primordial Spirit… It was simply far too terrifying!

Still, the more he thought about it, the more he refused to give up on his assault! Maybe perseverance was the key!

The second his thought ended, however, a massive explosion could suddenly be heard, snapping him out of it!

It was evident that the explosion was caused by the dragons’ final ram into the arc of light… And now, all the surprised old man could do was watch as his shattered green dragons slowly began falling apart…

Seconds later, the horrified Daryl ended up spurting out a mouthful of blood before falling from the sky!

Shouting in pain from the impact of falling, Daryl was still more terrified of Gerald as he turned to look at the youth.

He now knew that even if he used up all his strength, he would never be able to break through Gerald’s defenses… This… This was all impossible…!

As utter disbelief was reflected in Daryl’s eyes, the crowd watching from below found themselves completely clueless as to what had just happened…

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1572

After all, the last thing they were able to see was a blinding light from atop the tower that had forced all of them to shut their eyes…

By the time their eyes finally readjusted, Daryl Crawford, the legendary King of South Asia, was already lying on the ground!

“…What?” muttered a voice.

With such a great battle taking place, it was only natural that those from the other Crawford family would also be present at the dragon tower. The one who had spoken appeared to be some kind of young master, and he had been watching everything through his sinister eyes from the moment the battle began. Even so, he truly hadn’t expected that things would go this way.

‘Is grandpa unable to even lay a finger on Gerald…?’

Meanwhile, Carlos and Julian themselves were utterly amazed by what they had just witnessed… This was a battle unlike anything they had ever seen before…

“…You…. Could you have learned all those unique techniques from Liemis…? If that’s the case, then that explains why I haven’t been able to find any records of the skills he had mastered, even after combing through the entire ancient tomb…!” asked the astonished and pale-faced old man as he slowly got to his feet, his eyes affixed to Gerald’s…

“Honestly, had you not mentioned it, I would’ve surely forgotten to tell you about it! Regardless, there was one thing that I didn’t tell you about after I returned from the ancient tomb… You see, Brother Liemis didn’t have any physical records stored within his tomb, oh no. Instead, he stored all that information within this jade pendant! Thinking back, it’s quite lucky that I didn’t inform you about this!” replied Gerald.

Finally seeing the bigger picture, Daryl then nodded before saying, “…Interesting…! How absolutely interesting…!”

Rather than continuing to be enraged, Daryl was now laughing… Once he was done, however, he calmly shook his head before turning to look at Gerald as he added, “Still, what a pity…”

“What is?” asked Gerald.

“It’s a pity that you now have access to such talent that others won’t ever be able to obtain, even after training for several lifetimes! A pity that you’re now truly an unparalleled genius on this planet… And last but not least, a pity that you’re my enemy…! With that said, you won’t be able to escape death today no matter what! Thinking about it, I’m honestly a little pained by all this. If you were my real grandson and you didn’t have the Herculean Primordial Spirit within you, everything would’ve surely gone fantastically… Just imagine, me and you, grandfather and grandson! With our powers combined, we could easily dominate the three worlds!” replied Daryl as he shook his head with a bitter smile.

“However, it’s now far too late for all that wishful thinking… I’m ending you today, Gerald! Otherwise, nothing in the world will be able to control you anymore with how rapidly you’re progressing!” added Daryl.

The second his sentence ended, a black Dead Annie suddenly began materializing before the old man’s chest… Though the flower was only the size of an adult’s palm, it was clear as day that it contained an extraordinary power…

As the flower slowly floated into the sky, a beam of light shot out and completely enveloped Daryl!

Barely a second had passed when yet another massive explosion could be heard coming from beneath the dragon tower!

“W-what’s happening?!”

“Is this an earthquake?!”

With even the ground below now trembling, the astonished crowd instantly began speculating what was happening.

Staring at all that was happening, Gerald found himself frowning slightly before he asked, “And what spell are you casting this time?”

“Heh… I’m borrowing the energy from the entire nation just to initiate this ancient spell…! What I’m casting was left behind as a legacy from the ancients! It’s called the great dragon extermination spell…!”

The second Daryl’s explanation ended, he began charging the flower with all his power! With the last of his training aura, Daryl then sent out the Dead Annie!

The Dead Annie was the ultimate flower that Daryl had spent decades to nurture… It was a transcendent magic weapon.

With its power, he could enhance his holy sense in order to forcibly initiate the spell…

Naturally, all this power was well over what a magic weapon was capable of storing… With that in mind, Daryl had managed to get this far by doing something that nobody else had ever done before.

He had merged the Dead Annie with his heart. It was a process near-incomprehensible to ordinary people, but in the end, it worked out for Daryl.

However, this also meant that though Daryl had managed to attain the ultimate magic weapon, the Dead Annie was now essentially his heart.

Despite knowing that, Daryl wasn’t daunted in the least. As long as he could take Gerald out, he didn’t mind sacrificing his life!

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1573

With the Dead Annie still merged with his heart, it was near-impossible for Gerald to truly kill Daryl. After all, no amount of power would’ve been able to destroy that ultimate magic weapon.

Even so, Daryl was well aware that if he didn’t use the flower to initiate the great dragon extermination spell, he wasn’t going to be able to lay a finger on Gerald.

He wasn’t about to allow such a strong demon to exist! Not on his life! With that, the Dead Annie continued shining brighter than ever!

Meanwhile, mass destruction was occurring at the foot of the dragon tower! As multiple draconic screeches filled the air, even more dark clouds began flying toward the area, completely covering the sky…

Even to the ancients, the spell had a reputation for being extremely powerful… With that said, changes in both the sky and earth were only natural once the spell was cast.

As all this was happening, Carlos, Julian, and the rest could only look around them rather anxiously.

“What’s the meaning of all this, Laughing Master…?” asked the worried Julian.

In response, however, Carlos simply shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. After all, he knew for a fact that by this point, the battle between the two was already well beyond his comprehension…

“I’m not allowing you to continue living, Gerald!” yelled the old man, prompting nine colossal obsidian dragons to burst out from the ground, each looking equally as furious!

Upon getting to the top of the tower, all nine of the evil dragons looked like they were about to simultaneously attack Gerald when the youth simply shook his head while smiling bitterly as he said, “I guess you really are willing to pay any price just to kill me!”

Were these dark creatures capable of finally taking Gerald down?

Watching as he shook his head, the nine dragons then encircled the dragon tower before diving in to attack the protective shield that Gerald had just set up again!

The second the collision happened, however, a blinding light swept through the entire area… Followed shortly after by an explosive sound that sent fierce gusts of wind blowing in the audience’s direction!

For those who didn’t have much training, they ended up getting easily blown away by the strong gales, many finding themselves colliding against stone walls!

Thankfully, a few of the audience members had brought along people with higher ranks, and they were able to be protected since their training was much higher.

All in all, there was simply a lot of screaming and utter chaos at the foot of the dragon tower…
