Chapter 1084 The Seventh

Attribute These past few days, Gerald had been feeling as if he was in a rather peculiar state. His

perception of his surroundings had become incredibly heightened, and it seemed as though all the

elements around him had grown much closer to him.

He had a feeling that his mastery of the attribute had become much stronger at this moment. He felt as

if his body was filled with endless Vital Energy, inexhaustible and never-ending! He had an incredibly

clear perception of everything around him. Even though he couldn’t open his eyes, he could still sense

everything that was happening in his surroundings.

He really wanted to tell Valery to go and rest, assuring her that he was fine. He clearly heard the

negotiation between Triston and Dante, and he thoroughly enjoyed Triston’s harsh scolding.

He saw Junior approaching with the people from the Soulreaper Sect and heard Dante’s helplessness.

He had no respect for Dante’s choice, as he couldn’t believe that someone would hand over their own

relatives for such baseless reasons. The Archaic Tribe… seemed to be just like that. Partners were

partners; there were some people you could trust, but you couldn’t trust everyone completely. Mutual

benefits could lead to cooperation, but that was just about it.

Upon seeing Anabel and Kristian step forward to protect Sylvie, risking their lives in the process, he felt

extremely gratified. At the very least, these two people were worth befriending. Of course, he had also

figured out quite a lot! After understanding why Sylvie had been hiding her true abilities all along, it

became clear why she wanted to join the Night Watch.

She knew very well that once her attribute was exposed, the Eight Forces, including the Archaic Tribe,

would not tolerate her existence. However, he was unaware of the reason behind this. Just as he

couldn’t understand why the people of this world were determined to kill the Dragon Bone and Phoenix

Bone.

He thought back to the first time he met Sylvie, when she took the initiative to be friendly and told him

that they were the same kind of people. At that time, he didn’t feel much, but at this moment, he truly

experienced it. He was furious, wishing he could go back in time and stab Junior with a knife! Then, he

really wanted to wake up, so Gerald tried his best to open his eyes.

At this moment, he felt as if something within his body was awakening, and he could sense a

tremendous transformation taking place within himself!

Standing beside him, Sylvie looked on in amazement as she noticed Gerald’s skin slowly swelling and

then gradually receding, as if he was experiencing a rebirth of sorts. Then, a roar echoed through the

void, and a golden light suddenly surged down, merging into Gerald’s body.

Valery, who had just fallen asleep nearby, suddenly woke up. She looked at Gerald and asked, “What’s

going on?” Sylvie’s face lit up with a hint of a smile as she said, “Gerald… seems to be on the verge of

a breakthrough.”

Dragon Shadow and Gerald merged together, and then his body slowly floated above the bed. A layer

of skin peeled off from Gerald’s body. After this molting process, Gerald’s skin looked much smoother.

His body surged with an immense vital energy, causing the entire shipping container to explode

outward.

At a certain moment, the majestic Vital Energy began to gather around Gerald, and the world between

heaven and earth returned to clarity. Gerald found himself once again suspended above his bed.

However, he didn’t open his eyes. Instead, he sat there with his eyes closed, legs crossed. He knew

that he had broken through, completely stepping into the eternal level of Flame Decay.

After two consecutive life-and-death battles, he successfully broke through the final barrier, reaching

this level even without the aid of Ingenious Needles. Of course, what shocked Gerald the most was that

he suddenly discovered that he seemed to have acquired a seventh attribute.

After Gerald broke through to the level of Flame Decay, he didn’t experience any attribute awakening

within himself. At that time, he was quite confused. Later on, he came to believe that his own attribute

was the ability to absorb the attributes of others.

Alcoholic had mentioned to him that Dragon Bone possessed a total of seven attributes. However, after

Gerald acquired six attributes, he just couldn’t seem to obtain the seventh attribute no matter what he

tried.

He had fought against masters with various attributes of Flame Decay, but he had never absorbed the

seventh attribute before. However, when he broke through to the eternal level of Flame Decay, the

seventh attribute awakened on its own from within his body.

Gerald didn’t know what this attribute was, but it seemed to help him perceive his surroundings more

clearly. He felt that even with his eyes closed, he could see the pores on Junior’s face outside the wall.

“Clairvoyance?” Gerald said with doubt in his mind. However, at the same time, he felt that his listening

skills had also improved significantly.

He carefully sensed the changes within himself, and similarly, he felt that after breaking through this

boundary, his perception of other attributes had also undergone an essential transformation, just like

when he first reached the supreme level of Flame Decay.

Swipe!

Just at that moment, Valery, who was nearby, threw a blanket over Gerald’s body. Sylvie’s face turned

red as she said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to look on purpose.” She said this for Valery to hear.

Just now, that golden light and the surge of energy that erupted from Gerald’s body directly turned all of

his clothes into ashes. Valery shook her head and said, “It’s nothing, just an eyesore.” At this moment,

Gerald slowly opened his eyes and looked at Valery, saying, “These past few days… I’ve caused you to

worry.”

Valery, who hadn’t cried until now, couldn’t help but feel her eyes well up with tears at this moment. She

turned away, wiping the corners of her eyes, and walked over to her backpack. After rummaging

through it, she tossed a set of clothes over and said, “Put these on first!” Sylvie turned her back to

Gerald, her neck becoming somewhat red.

As Gerald was changing his clothes, Valery asked, “Did you reach the eternal level of Flame Decay?”

“That’s right!” Gerald nodded. He quickly changed his clothes and then said, “Let’s go and take a look

outside!”

“You… ” Sylvie pursed her lips and said, “Will you… protect me?”

“You… are a Watchman! The Night Watch’s principles are discretion, trust, and protection! We will

never abandon any of our companions,” Gerald said to her with a grin. Sylvie was stunned, and

immediately after, her eyes began to turn red. Clearly, Gerald had already agreed to let her join the

Night Watch.

“Thank you!” Sylvie said. Gerald gave a slight smile, walked over to her, and gently rubbed her head,

saying, “Let’s go. It’s time to settle the scores between you and Junior.”

After saying that, he looked at Sylvie and asked, “If the Archaic Tribe insists on harming you, would you

be willing to leave the Archaic Tribe?” Sylvie was taken aback, and then she furrowed her brow.

“Let’s go!” Gerald said.

Three people walked side by side, heading towards the top of the city wall. In Mount Moores, due to the

time difference, it was currently the middle of the night, In the heart of a mountain range, within a

certain cave, seven or eight female figures were seated inside.

Crossing Mount Moores was quite challenging even for experts at the level of Flame Decay, let alone

for their group, where the strongest among them was only a supreme peak Flame Decayer. Over time,

they had lost several members. At this moment, fear and terror were clearly etched on the faces of

these. women.

Some of them were paralyzed, sitting on the ground, while others laid on the ground, continuously

shoveling dirt from the cave into their mouths as if they were extremely hungry. Wherever their eyes

looked, they were filled with ghostly figures!

Only the team leader was striving to maintain her composure as she continuously organized the other

members. However, as she looked at the figure sitting cross-legged in the distance, her face still

revealed endless fear! Not far away, Audrey sat cross-legged. Behind her, there seemed to be a huge

circular shadow, within which appeared to contain six portraits.

“This… this is the rebirth attribute. She… she is the one condemned by the heavens!” The captain of

this small team was filled with fear and despair in her eyes.
