Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1692 He simply found it weird how the world’s fate suddenly concerned him.
“…Alright, but… Why me?” asked Gerald.
“It’s because there exists an ancient will hidden within your body. If you manage to properly develop that will, then you’ll surely be able to resist Masrus! With that in mind, you truly are the world’s final hope!” explained the god of Astral Traveler in a patient tone.
Seeing the relevance of his words, Gerald then replied, “…And how do I develop that will?”
Hearing that, the god of Astral Traveler then cupped his hands together, causing a scroll of sorts to materialize there shortly after…
After being handed the scroll, Gerald noticed that there was a slot of sorts on it. It was quite apparent that something needed to be fitted inside it to open the scroll…
“That there is the Scroll of Stars… In order to unlock its secrets, you’ll first have to obtain an item known as the Scintillating Gem. While you’ll be able to begin developing the will in your body after you open the scroll, know that nobody’s ever been able to obtain or even locate the gem from the day it came into existence!” explained the god of Astral Traveler as he looked at Gerald with a serious gaze.
Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but look at the scroll for a little longer before storing it within his storage ring.
With that done, Gerald then turned to face the god of Astral Traveler before asking, “…Well, that aside, what exactly is the trial of the Heaven Tower?”
‘I came to participate in a trial, no? Who do I now feel like I’m here to receive a mission instead?’ Gerald thought to himself.
“I established the trials of Heaven Tower only as a front. My goal had always been to await the arrival of the destined individual, and you’ve finally come today. With that in mind, you naturally don’t have to go through the trial. After all, all the trials here are useless for you. Time is of the essence, so I’ll be sending you to the top of the tower immediately!” replied the god of Astral Traveler.
Hearing that, Gerald could only raise a slight brow as he bounded up the tower with extreme speed…
Seconds later, someone from the outside could suddenly be heard shouting, “…H-hey! Look up there! The top of the tower is shining!”
Realizing that what the person had said was true, Sumeru and the four great masters instantly expressed great shock. After all, the light—that everyone was now seeing—would only begin shining when someone managed to reach the top of the tower… With that in mind, Gerald must have been able to achieve that! How unexpected!
Ever since the trials were established hundreds of years ago, nobody had been able to fully scale the tower… Until today.
Moving back to Gerald, upon arriving at the top of the tower, Gerald was greeted by the sight of a sword that was emitting a white light.
Walking closer to the sword, Gerald watched as it instantly began quivering in place. In a sense, it almost seemed like it was behaving that way due to some telepathic link it had with Gerald…
Before he could get too close, the god of Astral Traveler appeared before Gerald again before saying, “That there is the Astrabyss Sword, and it’ll function as your special weapon from today onward. Beside it, is a book that contains all the skills you can perform with the sword. I hope you’ll use it wisely and master all the Astrabyss’s skills. If you do, you’ll definitely get much stronger!”
That was needless to say, of course, so Gerald simply nodded before continuing to walk toward the sword.
Now before the sword, Gerald heard as the god of Astral Traveler shouted, “Outstretch your hand and pull it out!”
Momentarily stunned by how commanding the god of Astral Traveler suddenly was, Gerald quickly shook out of it before firmly grasping the sword’s hilt… Only to instantly feel a slight pain on his palm!
Unbeknownst to Gerald, the sword had caused a tiny cut to form on his palm, resulting in a single drop of his blood coming into contact with the sword’s hilt…
The second that happened, the Astrabyss Sword immediately emitted an ethereal ring…
Releasing the hilt and taking a step back, Gerald then watched as the sword quickly began flailing wildly!
It only took the Astrabyss a few seconds to break from its restraints, and the second it was freed, it instantly flew into Gerald’s hand!
Instinctively holding onto the sword’s hilt tightly, Gerald immediately began feeling a strong force surging into his elixir-of-life field from his palm… This feeling…
He was about to make a breakthrough!
