When Rocky and Marcia started working together, it seemed that even thousands of troops and horses
couldn't stop them. Everyone present was terrified.
Soon, the set minutes had passed, and Rocky, who was in the mood to kill, had reached his limit.
Marcia forced back two peerless masters at the Divine Stage then retreated to Rocky's side as soon as
she noticed. She took out the Dragon Twined Wood and slapped it on to Rocky's chest, where it
suddenly started glowing with golden light. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a dragon shadow and
entered Rocky's body, crawling all over him with a life of its own. It sealed the power at the fifth layer
that he had released before.
Rocky fell directly on top of Marcia's body as soon as the fifth layer's sealing power disappeared.
Marcia immediately grabbed hold of him, glaring darkly. "You are doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
she asked coolly.
"Of course not!" replied Rocky as he looked back at her innocently. "I swear, I don't have the strength to
stand by myself."
"Go away." Of course, Marcia wasn't gullible enough to believe him.
She threw Rocky none too gently at Lucilla, who swiftly caught him and allowed him to lean on her.
"Well, who else wants to fight?" This time, Marcia turned her attention to Geoffrey and Algy. She stared
them down without fear, while the two looked like pitiful dogs who wanted to run with their tails between
their legs.
She smirked widely when they couldn't meet her eyes.
"That's that then. Let's go!" Marcia turned away from the cowardly men and put two fingers to her lips,
whistling.
At this moment, the dragon shadow that was previously hovering in the sky landed with a loud thud,
stirring a cloud of dust.
"Help him up," Marcia said to Lucilla, who nodded promptly.
She pushed and pulled Rocky until he was on the back of the dragon shadow.
"Sister..." At this time, Queenie had already rushed over from the crowd of the Cao Clan.
"Queenie, please don't be angry at me. Just let me be willful this time." Lucilla begged Queenie, and a
guilty expression flashed across her face. After all, it was not right to give up everything and hand over
the burden of the Cao Clan to her younger sister. But since she had already made a choice, she had to
stand by it. Lucilla knew that if she didn't take a stand down, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
"I don't blame you, sister..." Of course, Queenie understood that her elder sister was willing to give up
her position as the chief for Rocky. It meant that she had already opened her heart and found her Mr.
Right, so Queenie was naturally happy for her sister. However, the thought of being separated from her
was like poison in her veins. She had nothing against Rocky, but the idea that she might never see
Lucilla again broke her heart.
"Don't worry. I will come back to see you the first chance that I can get," said Lucilla, comforting her
sister, who looked like she was about to cry. Then she turned her attention to the other members of the
Cao Clan, including Lucas.
At the same time, the members of the Cao Clan were also looking at her sorrowfully. Like Queenie,
they were happy that she had found someone worth sacrificing so much for. However, understanding
her motives didn't lessen the pain of parting. Even Lucas was sporting reddened eyes, as he smiled at
Lucilla with a bittersweet expression.
"Bastard, take good care of my sister! If I find out that you are not treating her right, I will go to the Holy
Dragon Empire and beat you up until you can't walk anymore," Queenie shouted, glaring at Rocky.
"I will. Don't slack off and practice what I have taught you. You can go to the Xiao Clan and find Juey
when you are ready. Then, she can show you other Beast Curing Skills. And don't be willful after you
become the chief. Don't make your sister worry about you," Rocky said seriously, although he was
smiling warmly as he spoke.
"Humph!" Queenie responded with a pout, trying to ignore Rocky's words, though he knew that she
would take them to heart. She bit her pink lips as if trying to keep her emotions under wraps. Finally,
she looked up at Lucilla and bade her goodbye.
"Take care, sister!" Queenie shouted as the dragon shadow slowly soared into the air.
"Will you please tell Alyssa something for me? Tell her I am grateful to her for taking care of Prince
Basil in the past few days. It's good for you too that you didn't treat him badly, otherwise, I would not be
the only one who would come here today. The army of the Holy Dragon Empire would have joined me!
Ha-ha!" Marcia gave one last glance at Geoffrey and the others, then she flew up to the back of the
dragon shadow.
However, at this moment, a commotion erupted not far away, as a mass of people rushed over like a
tidal wave. With their speed, it would not be long before they reached their group.
"My reinforcements are coming. You can't escape even if you have wings now." Seeing this, Geoffrey
laughed wildly.
"Prince Geoffrey, I'll give you one last present." The corner of Rocky's mouth curled up as he gathered
his spiritual power once again. In the midair, a huge black dragon shadow suddenly appeared out of
thin air with overwhelming momentum.
Even Marcia was surprised to see the huge black dragon shadow.
As they looked further, the black dragon opened its big mouth, and a beam of chaotic light that was a
few meters in diameter burst out from it. The vivid light rushed straight to the front of the crowd.
It reached them with a bang, and a huge mushroom cloud erupted from the ground where it landed.
Around them, the wind howled wildly, sounding like the cries of tortured souls, which terrified everyone
present.
The howling of the wind rose higher and higher, mixing with the screams of pain from the enemy
reinforcements.
Geoffrey's face turned livid, and the smile on his face had been wiped clean.
The dragon shadow took this opportunity to fly away, and it gradually disappeared into the dark night.
"Inform the headquarters to gather the army, so they could chase them. We can't let them leave the
Timber Deity Empire..." Geoffrey was still unwilling to give up, not for the sake of the empire, but for the
sake of his ruined pride.
"Stop chasing them. Let them go!" At this moment, a delicate figure suddenly appeared from the dark.
Geoffrey and the others took a closer look and saw that it was Alyssa.
"Alyssa, what are you talking about? You want us to let them go? You have conspired with the prince of
the Holy Dragon Empire, and now, you still want to let them go? I must report this to the emperor!
Woods and you will surely be punished!" Geoffrey shouted angrily.
"The emperor already knows about it. It is His Majesty's order to let them go," Alyssa answered calmly,
unaffected by Geoffrey's anger.
"What?" Geoffrey was stunned.
"I told the emperor about it after the treasure hunting game. His Majesty said that we should not get
into a conflict with the Holy Dragon Empire for the time being. Besides, Prince Basil had saved Woods'
life once. We should return the favor." Alyssa had already expected this situation to happen, so she
was well prepared.
She might look calm at that moment, but the truth was that it took a lot of effort to persuade the
emperor. It was only for her sake that the emperor consented to let Rocky go this time. She had tried
her best to protect Rocky.
This situation was beyond her own imagination. She almost made herself a traitor to the Timber Deity
Empire for a man!
However, now that Rocky was gone, they could never be friends again. They could meet once again in
this lifetime, but they would be as good as strangers, and at worst, they could be enemies on the
battlefield once again. Despite that, no matter what the result was, she didn't regret what she had done
for Rocky.
