"There has to be another way. I won't let you go!" Fiona declared firmly.
"I'm sorry. I can't let Basil's efforts go to waste in vain. I need to keep the Holy Dragon Empire safe
first." Upon finishing her words, Marcia spread open her dragon wings and soared into the air. She flew
towards the Demonic Thunder Tiger despite Moira's protest.
The next moment, a blinding spiritual light burst from within Marcia and she released the almighty
power of the Dragon Sarira. The Demonic Thunder Tiger immediately let out a deafening roar upon
sensing the dragon's alluringly potent power. It immediately turned around and approached Marcia.
Marcia slowly but surely coaxed the Demonic Thunder Tiger away from the Holy Dragon Empire under
the public's watchful eyes.
However, the Demonic Thunder Tiger appeared to be not patient. It thought of Marcia more as prey
than a master. Immediately, violent thunderbolts struck down from the sky before ceaselessly attacking
her.
Marcia continued to dodge them with all her speed and strength.
Out of nowhere, the Demonic Thunder Tiger roared as countless lightning bolts shot out from its body.
The bolts intertwined into a net that instantly trapped Marcia like a bug caught in a spider's web.
With nowhere to hide, the best she could do was to resist.
However, the Demonic Thunder Tiger's trap proved to be too strong even for the Dragon Sarira to
overcome.
Her entire body went numb and fell to the ground from the lightning coiled tightly around her.
As the Demonic Thunder Tiger drew nearer to Marcia, it released another powerful thunderbolt. It
looked as though it was prepared to slaughter her with it.
Everyone present was shocked and frozen with fear. However, none of them were powerful enough to
stop it.
Just as Marcia was about to be struck by the ferocious beast's thunderbolt, a blinding light fell from the
sky like a meteor and lit its entirety in a golden shimmer. Some form of magic began to disperse the
dense thunder clouds until they completely disappeared.
The golden light rushed toward Marcia at an astonishing speed. Although it managed to reach her in
time and lift her, it appeared as though the thunderbolt would strike them both before they could
escape.
What happened next shocked everyone present. As the golden light ascended slightly, the thunderbolt
that headed for Marcia was deflected and struck the Demonic Thunder Tiger instead.
Boom!
As the best was caught off guard, its attack backfired. An enormous crater spanning hundreds of
meters appeared where it stood.
It expressed its irritation with a vicious roar. Then it morphed into a thunder shadow before rushing
towards the golden light to attack once more.
However, the golden light didn't try to escape and remained floating in its place. Suddenly, an arm
reached out from within it and gently flicked a finger towards the swiftly approaching beast.
Bang!
A deafening sound reverberated in the sky. The enormous Demonic Thunder Tiger was sent flying into
the air before it fell hard to the ground, huge dust clouds floating around it from the impact.
Everyone present remained flabbergasted. They were all still in disbelief since they thought no other
power in existence could overcome the attacks of such a powerful calamity beast.
"This feels so... familiar," Sabina thought to herself. Then, her eyes widened with excitement as she
muttered to herself, "Could it be..."
The Demonic Thunder Tiger, which had now been attacked twice, was provoked even further. As it got
off the ground, its deafening roar once again echoed throughout as waves of thunder radiance began
to cascade across its body. Everything within a radius of a hundred meters collapsed from the force.
The beast's entire body was immediately cloaked by an ominous-looking thunder cloud before it floated
in the air and rushed towards the golden light at a tremendous speed.
Then, countless densely intertwined electric currents burst forth from the thunder cloud. Like a dismal
storm, thunder rolled amongst the clouds accompanied by the electrifying crackle of lightning across
the sky. Anything the thunder cloud passed over was instantly torn apart by the lightning bolts that
relentlessly drilled into the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the Demonic Thunder Tiger collided with the golden light like a meteor crashing
towards earth with astonishing speed.
Boom!
Countless electric currents burst from within the beast and spread across the ground surrounding it.
Everything within a few kilometers found itself within a terrifyingly magnificent sea of lightning.
There was no denying that the Demonic Thunder Tiger intended to destroy the golden light.
Soon, the golden light found itself surrounded by the mighty thunder force. But then, it turned a blind
eye to the force and flashed brilliantly before returning to face the Demonic Thunder Tiger.
"Divine punishment!" a low voice proclaimed.
Immediately, more than ten orbs of golden light appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the Demonic
Thunder Tiger. Simultaneously, the group of orbs all burst at the same time to unleash a blinding light.
Almost instantly, the golden light penetrated through the beast's thunder cover and managed to strike
its flesh. White smoke began to rise as the light broke down the beast's hard skin and bones.
As the Demonic Thunder Tiger struggled to free itself of the trap, it let out an ear-splitting howl as the
golden light pierced through its body like heated steel slicing into its skin.
Gradually, the beast began to lose resistance and could only manage to wail, as if surrendering to the
golden light.
Until then, the light orbs vanished.
The next ensuing moment, the golden light reappeared by the ravaged ground below along with
Marcia. Moira, Bryant, Sabina, and the rest rushed towards them once they safely landed.
Marcia slowly began to wake up and regain consciousness. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was
met with a very familiar gaze that made hers widen in return.
Meanwhile, everyone gathered witnessed the golden light slowly begin to dissipate and unveil a figure.
"Ba... Basil!" Sabina was the first to exclaim, disbelief painted all over her pretty face.
The rest were stunned as they continued to stare at the figure that appeared before them.
"This cunning bastard!" Shirley shouted, small sobs escaping her throat. Then her sadness gave way
to an excited smile.
Sabina's eyes were tinged with red and began to well up with tears.
Lucilla cried with joy.
Bryant's face, old and resolute, also bore an expression full of extreme excitement.
All the humans and the members of the Dragon Master Clan were full of relief upon knowing that their
great hero was still alive. He had saved the Holy Dragon Empire once more.
"Basil... you're still alive," Marcia said in a trembling voice. Slowly, she raised her hand and touched the
face of the man she had dearly missed for countless nights.
"Thank you for your hard efforts. Now, leave the remaining business to me! I'll restore peace to the Wild
Spirit Land. I'll always be by your side and protect you, while you guys are creating a new future,"
Rocky stated peacefully, after looking at Marcia and then the crowd that had gathered around them.
His words brought hope to not just her but to everyone else as well.
Then, he placed Marcia down and nodded towards everyone else. After that, he flew towards the
Demonic Thunder Tiger and brought it to his Magic Spiritual Space.
"Haha! I thought I was too late. I didn't expect to arrive just in time. I knew you wouldn't die so easily."
Meanwhile, another light shadow unexpectedly fell from above before positioning itself in front of
everyone.
"Glutton! You've arrived just in time. Will you help me?" Rocky asked the light shadow, a slight smile
dancing across his lips.
"As long as you let me kill to my heart's content!" Glutton responded haughtily before returning to its
original towering form.
Then, Rocky landed on Glutton's back and gazed at the crowd. With a thundering roar, Glutton flew
towards the sky as they both disappeared into the light of the rising sun under everyone's watchful
eyes.
