Chapter 122: Jeromes Ascension (1)

These guys are really dangerous.

Jeromes mouth went dry as he felt a sense of crisis. The Ghosts were dangerous.

And because they were so dangerous...

Do you think Ill let you pass?! Youll never get to my Lord!

Although he had already expended a considerable amount of energy, he pushed through and found a last burst of strength. And at that moment

Jeromes willpower transcended his physical body.

Crack!

Danger
