There was a reason why the spiritual race was called as such. They were so powerful that only the
spiritual slaves, the creatures of lower ranks, were injured or killed.
When Rocky found the ancient spiritual beast was utterly drained of all its energy as it faced the
spiritual race, he summoned it back. As he finished wreaking havoc, he just stood firm and fixed his
eyes at Rex, wearing a mocking grin on his face. By now, he actually had hardly any strength to remain
standing, but he still wore the same expression as before, as if saying that he wouldn't yield no matter
what.
Rex had to admit that Rocky really left a strong impression on everyone, including him. Never did he
expect that a mere human being could create such an unbelievable tragedy in front of him.
Furthermore, even though he was the patriarch of the Dragon Master Clan, Rocky wasn't even fazed in
the face of the supposedly mightiest being of their clan.
"You arrogant bastard! I'll kill you!" Rex couldn't contain his rage anymore and rushed towards Rocky in
a flash.
Rocky was about to become a legend just because he successfully forced the patriarch of the Dragon
Master Clan to fight him in person. However, Rex didn't care what the people would say. He just
wanted Rocky dead on his feet.
Noticing his evil intention, Moira immediately chased after Rex and attempted to stop him. However, he
was much faster than her. As he dashed forward, a golden light emerged from his hand and rose
sharply. He planned to pierce Rocky with it at any second.
Then, suddenly, a familiar voice was heard from behind him. "Don't you dare do it, Rex. I won't allow
you… to lay your filthy hands on my man!"
Before Rex could even turn, a surging cyan light rushed towards him. He subconsciously felt a shiver
shot down his spine, so he instantly avoided it. Then, the dazzling cyan light flashed past him and
stopped right in front of Rocky.
Because of the blinding light, no one could clearly see who was responsible for it.
Gradually, the cyan light dissipated and a familiar figure stood in front of Rocky. It was a marvelous
scene that everyone might even call it a miracle.
A woman stood glamorously, with a pair of cyan dragon wings flapping behind her delicate jade-like
back. On her well-shaped frame, a suit of armor made of glistening dragon scales covered it. An
elegant cyan pattern also appeared on her spectacular face. The people who saw her felt like they saw
such a sophisticated eternal masterpiece.
All the eyes of the members from the Dragon Master Clan couldn't avert their gaze from her delicate
figure. They held their breath as if they would faint anytime.
"Marcia Mu? Why are you still alive?" Rex almost turned pale out of shock as he recognized who stood
between him and Rocky.
"Marcia?! It's really you. You're alive!" Moira also stared at the figure with her mouth wide open.
"Come on… You could have said something earlier. I really thought that you died!" Rocky exclaimed as
it finally sank in his head that Marcia was really alive. However, there was an intense feeling of relief
that quickly surged from within his heart. Deep inside, he was so thankful, and his sour face was soon
replaced with a bright smile.
It was definitely Marcia. Her appearance might have changed but it was still her.
"How did you get the pair of wings? You should have told me earlier," Rocky asked with a bitter smile
as he continued to be fascinated with the dragon wings behind her. Everything happened too fast that
he even thought that he was just dreaming. One moment, Rex was already about to kill him, and then
after another one, Marcia was already standing in front of him. Furthermore, she looked more like a
member of the Dragon Master Clan now that she possessed these wings.
"I actually had a dream. In my dream, I flew in the sky and traveled all the way to the ends of the world.
When I got there, I saw you smiling gently at me as if you had been there all along, waiting for me to
arrive. Then, that's when I realized that everything has been predestined from the very beginning. No
matter what I do, fate will always bring me to you. Basil, I'm bound to give you my body, my heart, and
my all. I don't know if this is love, but I'm sure that I'm supposed to be all yours." Marcia looked directly
into Rocky's eyes and said these words. It was rather confusing since there was no delight or sadness
on her face. She was just being honest with what she learned in her dream. Then, at the same time,
she also put her hand on Rocky. Suddenly, a beaming cyan light burst out.
In the blink of an eye, the black spiritual power, which was all over his body, eventually vanished, and
the evil power that acted crazy within his body was sealed again.
"Uhm, I appreciate your confession, but it's not the right time, is it? Besides, it seemed like you only felt
that way because you got the wings." Rocky was at a loss for words. He understood why Marcia would
immediately come to his aid, but he couldn't quite get the meaning behind everything that she said
regarding her dream.
"Well, I think you'll understand it better if I say that the curse inflicted on me disappeared when I
learned and faced my real feelings," Marcia said with a faint smile.
"Wait. You mean that the curse was lifted already?" Things became a little clearer for Rocky, but there
was still a question in his mind. "But I thought that it can only be removed when the two people are
really in love with each other?"
"Well, it turns out that what was told in legends was not pretty accurate. But I did feel your feelings for
me in my dream just now. Maybe that was enough?" Marcia put her hand on her chest as she recalled
what had happened to her in her dream. Right now, she could tell that her relationship with Rocky was
something a bit different from romantic love. It was more of a deep bond, something that would enable
them to willingly sacrifice their lives for the sake of the other.
"Did I fall in love with you in the first place before I can realize it?" Rocky murmured while pouting his
lips. He was indeed a little surprised that the curse was lifted given their current situation. But what
mattered the most was that he was finally able to see that Marcia was safe and sound.
"I don't know! It's not a bad thing anyway. I'm just glad I'm back with you." Marcia smiled faintly and
then kissed him on the cheek. "This is a reward for you. Thanks for everything." Then, she playfully
winked at him.
Meanwhile, the members of the Dragon Master Clan didn't know where to look at as they were
dumbfounded at the behaviors of the two. It was as if they forgot that there were a lot of people around
them. Moreover, they were in the middle of a civil war that could decide the reinstatement or extinction
of the Mu Clan.
But most importantly, they all began to sense that Marcia had a different aura than before. Besides the
fact that she had acquired those wings, she had actually broken through the boundary between the
human and the spiritual race. Right now, she was already a spiritual master.
