That night, chaos ensued within Dragonblood City.
The Hulkeroic Union was completely wiped out, and Tiger himself—the leader of the union—met a grisly end with all his limbs butchered right off his body…
Naturally, news of that struck fear in not only the people of the city, but also all the major clans there…
Regardless, when morning came, Gerald and the others were resting in the Zorn family’s home when all of a sudden, they were alerted by the presence of several people swiftly approaching them.
The second they got their weapons ready, they were just in time to witness a shadowy figure descending from the sky, followed shortly after by several more men dressed fully in black.
“…They’re strong and have malicious intent, Gerald. Please, be careful…!” whispered Juno.
Gerald himself was well aware of this, though he simply nodded in response. From what he could see, the shadowy figure—who was releasing an immense murderous intent—had at least entered the Third Rank of the Avatar Realm…

After hearing all that, Gerald found himself momentarily flabbergasted. To think that Old Hughes was actually such a person…
“…What do you mean you were only able to obtain the Titan Sword after I got the Fishgut Sword? How are those two things even related?” asked Gerald.
“Hah! You see, the Fishgut Sword was sealing the Titan Sword! Thanks to you taking it away, I was able to obtain the Titan Sword!” explained the shadowy figure.
So that’s why… It appeared that he truly had been used.
Following that, the shadowy figure even lifted the Titan Sword for Gerald to see, the sword constantly emitting strong, crimson flames and an overwhelming aura…
