Chapter 71: Gerald's hope

Amidst this gruesome spectacle, Gerald's severed head and body inexplicably shifted to an illusory form.

In Gregorio's eyes, it appeared as if they had suddenly vanished. But in Philip's eyes, Gerald had somehow exchanged his physical body with his astral body.

Gerald appeared a couple of meters behind Gregorio, his arms raised, conjuring a ball of fire that burst forth with terrifying force. The fire emitted an ear-piercing screech as it struck Gregorio's back, producing violent orange sparks.

It did successfully touch Gregorio; however, it failed to harm him. Instead, they swirled around him, coalescing into numerous fireballs.

Simultaneously, Gregorio's right arm extended, revealing a spectral and spiritual crimson arm. Together with his left hand, they both danced and wiggled as if controlling marionette strings in a puppet show.
